  1. My favorite part of this list of nearly fifty potential sites, is that the city has left open the possibility that the final determining site, may not in fact, be included on this list. I guess the next list will include elementary schools and retirement homes.
  2. Central Austin will be lucky to get .5” out of this “5-10” storm’.
  3. That much rain in the right spot would take Lake Travis from about 659’ to 685’+ in about 72-96 hours.

    I think my favorite go-to beer of any Texas brewers is St. Arnold's Art Car IPA. Damn near perfect IPA imo. And Tony C’s has it on draft. It’s my go-to.
  5. I get the automatic default to Russia/China but don’t these things supposedly move at speeds which are, at best, the extreme upper limits of what we would hope to accomplish in the next 100+ years? I have a hard time believing we’re that far behind technologically.
  6. I wasn't making a comment about Prop B. I was making a comment about the raging fire that lasted over half an hour this morning which was caused by a homeless camp positioned on the middle of the Hike & Bike Trail.
  7. Nothing like enjoying a nice trail jog on what will likely be the last morning in the early 60s for several months and having to detour around the latest homeless camp fire.
  8. Purchased a home a few years ago which was my first with a pool. The home was completely gutted and remodeled a couple years back but the pool was largely left untouched. Aside from relatively new plumbing and piping, it’s not a stretch to think the pool itself is all original from 30+ years ago. It looks great from afar but upon closer inspection, it’s hurting. Big time. Small cracks everywhere in the plaster which, combined with the seemingly never-ending pollen, makes it nearly impossible to keep it looking clean for more than a few days at best. The Polaris can’t get to the higher walls and cracks which are always full of dirt and compounds on itself. The pool guy can barely keep up. I knew when I bought the house the pool would have to be redone sooner rather than later and I can’t imagine going more than another a year or so without doing it. But, I don’t even know where to begin? It’s a large pool (16k +/- gallons if I had to guess?), all plaster aside from the tile edges. I’d love to do a tile throughout but given the cost savings, I may stick with re-tiling of the perimeter and a new plaster. Generally speaking, what does something like this even cost? Given everything which has occurred in the past few months am I better off investing in one of the super high-end Polaris’ or Dolphins to hold me over until things slow down next year or does it look like this may go on indefinitely? Are companies even doing this now or are they too busy with the big six figure construction jobs? Help me, I’m dumb. And I have no idea what I’m doing @mchookem looks like you just went through something similar?
  9. Yep, and he’s one of the best skits on there
  10. I watch SNL every week (typically DVR and watch the next day or on Monday) but this is the worst monologue I can ever recall. Cant wait to watch this train wreck live
  11. The tent fort they’ve erected around city hall the last two days definitely brings the lulz.
  12. I understand why he won’t get the gig, but I thought Bill Whitaker did a great job.
  13. The Uber/Lyft ban was one of the most embarrassing things this city ever voted for. It’s been five years and I still can’t wrap my head around that one
  14. 👏🏽 Good job Austin 👏🏽
  15. CoA never, and I mean absolutely never, surprises me but I can’t see this passing by anything less than 56-57 points.
  16. That target area is nearly perfect for inflow into Travis.
  17. Just a reminder, when you see “normal” temps for Austin, it’s not a running average of every year like you may expect. NOAA does things a little differently and those temperatures and rainfall amounts are going to look different beginning next month. https://www.kut.org/energy-environment/2021-04-26/hotter-stormier-droughtier-what-to-look-for-as-meteorologists-update-normal-weather-for-austin
  18. I’ve got the sadz neither Dan Patrick nor Mike Rowe made the last group.

  20. Deej- aren’t you the one on the old boards who posted a pic of your grandparents house off Hancock prior to the Mopac construction years ago?
  21. You’re right. That’s exactly what I thought too. funny how docks don’t change appearance after 50+ years.
