Didn't have time to do much shopping, but had to run to HD at lunch to get something, and noticed all their stuff was on sale for 1/2 off. Will head back later today/tonight to figure out what I should get. Some of their animatronic stuff looked pretty good, but I have no idea if it was just the floor sample stuff on sale or what.

Hopefully now, Garret is all in. If this doesn't work, he has to be gone right??

Wow, that is ridiculous

For something quick and easy, I’m a big fan of TexJoy Rooster Booster

Bought a 1992 Honda Accord from my uncle at 16 that I learned on. First lesson was during rush hour Houston traffic. Got flustered and stalled out probably 10 times in a row at a light before my uncle taught me how to pop the clutch.

Good to know. I was leaning the HD route if for no other reason than I can see what I’m getting in person before I buy it, and don’t have to bother with return shipping

Trivial because it only really delays me one light cycle but still makes me ragey. Four way intersection, and my lane is turning left onto a three lane road. We have yellow flashing arrows, and the traffic coming from the opposite direction is turning right onto the same three lane road. I always seem to get stuck behind the asshats that will sit there stopped rather than turning left into the far left lane, ceding the right of way to the traffic coming from the other direction. There are three fucking lanes people! If everyone just turns into the nearest lane as they are supposed to, both directions can turn at the same time and head southbound without an issue. What the hell is wrong with you people? That said, double fuck you to people that cross three lanes while turning

So with my kids getting to the age they really like Halloween, I think I want to take the decorations to the next level. I know there were a few shagsters that went all out, but not sure they made the jump. Where should I be looking for life size quality stuff that will last me for 5-10 years? Is there a big discount on stuff right after Halloween that I could buy and store for next year?

I started pricing this out a month ago or so in preparation for getting fitted for new irons and maybe a driver this winter. The PGA superstore on Preston in Plano is “free” to use their trackman, but if you want a real fitting, it is $250 for a three hour session that goes through your full bag, including golf balls. You can break it up into different days if needed. The guy said they may be able to get you a better deal on clubs during the fitting, but it isn’t carte blanche discount if you buy the clubs from them.

Completely struck out finding a light bar mount for my 2017 platinum with adaptive cruise, so decided to just drill into the bumper and if I ever need to go back to stock, just pop in some chromed bolts for that old school look. Turned out pretty good I think. 30” straight dual row LED.

Who knew so many degenerates from Seguin would find their way to Surly. Seguin was a great place to grow up, and still has the best breakfast tacos I've ever had in my life. They've got a ton of strong places, but none will top the now closed Taqueria Gonzalez that was over near Guadalupe St. south of Kingsbury. Can't tell you how much I would pay for just one more order of 1 Bacon, egg and cheese, 1 Chorizo egg and cheese, a cup of menudo, and a lemonade from that place

Class of 2001 here. Place has changed a ton since I graduated, so I can’t imagine what the change is like for you old fart

Good to know. I’ve got the hotel/flight/and soon to be car reserved. Next up is reservations.

I met one of my vendors for lunch today in the Colony, and decided to check out the new CI store there next to Hard Eights since I was right there. I only had about 15 minutes to check it out, but damn, that is a great place. Big selection, good prices, indoor lounge and bar and a patio. Once the temp drops just a bit more, I plan on cutting out of the office one afternoon to go sit on their patio and have a smoke with the smell of BBQ wafting through the air. I recommend any of you guys in Dallas check it out. I know there was another Havana Lounge or something similar that was close to opening (signage up at least) right there as well. Not sure why they called it off, but I imagine they are kicking themselves. CI was packed on a Wednesday at 1pm. Maybe they called it off because they got word that CI was building a shop...

Only four nights, and no golf clubs, we will be fine.

Ok, thanks guys. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming

I know this doesn't really fall into this thread topic, but it also doesn't fit into the 'doesn't warrant' thread, so I thought I would get the best response here. I'm taking a vacation in November to Carmel, CA with my wife and want to rent a nice convertible. Before kids, I had a 2002 BMW M Roadster that I loved (still kicking myself for selling that), and since kids won't be with us, I want to rent something better than a mustang or camaro while we're there. I've looked through Turo, and found a BMW 428i convertible, and a Porsche Boxter S for reasonable daily rates ($106 and $140, respectively). Both, sadly, are automatic, but that is probably a good thing, since my wife may be driving at some point on the trip, and she can't row her own. I haven't driven either of these cars, before, but am looking for insight as to which we will enjoy more. Driving highway 1, and other scenic excursions are on the agenda. Thoughts/experiences with either, or better yet, someone that has driven both?

What the fuck was Ricky just talking about on the pre-game show??? He actually makes money doing horoscopes?

Fake decorations. I don’t fight it anymore. We have fake artichokes some oversized pears, fake lemons or limes I think, pumpkins in the fall, all kinds of stuff. Also have some fake moss in a basket hanging from the wall and your typical barnyard of chickens pigs and a rabbit. None of it edible. Although we did find our 2 year olds teeth marks in one of them

Tonight, I cooked a sirloin for the kids to split, a filet for the wife and a nice looking NY strip for me. Finished with some fancy ass Himalayan sea salt we got as a gift. Also cooked some fresh green beans and mushrooms in some bacon fat. Turned out so damn good. Resting and soaking up that pink salt Mine. Perfect medium rare The whole gang Ridiculous sea salt kit

Fire in our bellies, pee at the top of the charts, our boys will come out amped, and start a win streak.... or maybe a pluckers wing streak if there is a rain delay

I will settle for changing up the steering wheel (they painted the wrong color anyway) On Carolinas, no idea, but in Prosper, if you have kids and aren't poor, get one. They are fun as hell

Rib day Beef and pork. These pics suck, but they are awesome

Damn. That is beautiful
