    Paraphrasing from SpaceCity:

    We're getting to the point of the calendar year when cool fronts start cycling through with increasing regularity. There will be plenty of "warm" days over the next several weeks, but "hot" temps over 85 become increasingly unlikely with each passing day. Friday will almost certainly be the last day of 2021 that even flirts with 90 (unless you live in the RGV).

    For you weirdos who just love never-ending Texas summer, you get 2 more days to sweat. The time for us normies is soon at hand.

  2. Agreed about Cincy winning out and getting in but this feels like one of those initial CFB Playoff rankings where the committee slots them in at something absurd like #11 or 12 and makes them sweat it until the final week when they inexplicably bump them into the Top 4 (assuming they run the table).

    0 days since Texas was a (inter)national embarrassment

    Similarly how we start threads on here which often begin with “Where else…Florida”, I imagine message boards and newscasts in approximately 48 other states have something similar on an all-too-frequent occurrence for us.

    KXAN;

    Our next chance of rain will coincidently be brought on by a very similar weather pattern as our last storm. Our flooding rain last week was brought to us by the remains of once Hurricane Pamela out in the Eastern Pacific which later weakened over the mountains of Mexico. The moisture of the remains of Pamela collided with a deepening trough and an approaching front. Setting the stage for that flooding event. This time around we could similarly have another potential weakening Pacific tropical storm colliding with a deepening trough and influencing our weather here at home in about a week’s time.

    Looks like we get another week and a half of Diet Summer before any more fronts roll through. Back to 85/70 days until Halloween weekend. 

    What do the longer range models show for Halloween Weekend?

    We've been lucky the last few years where most the Halloween’s have been colder than usual

    James Austin Johnson had one of the strongest debut episodes I can remember. Looking forward to seeing more from him.

    They’re definitely pushing him in as many skits as possible.  

    Just watched the Kim K episode from this past weekend.  She was a tremendously awful host.

    #1713 was a good listen, unless you're woke.

    Nearly ten minutes into this episode.  Is there a part where I can fast forward to something of substance on this “good listen” or are Joe and this guy going to just continue to talk about how Biden didn’t really get a COVID vaccine and it was all placebos for the next 2.5hrs?

  8. As a general rule, I typically avoid chains but I make exceptions for North and his other concepts.  TrueFood is great too.  

    I haven’t been to North Domain in years but grabbing a nightcap and dessert at the bar at the Second Street location is something we do quite frequently.  

    Tons of talent running around in there and great people watching.  

  9. Question for those who have done it recently.  I have what most would consider to be a large pool, approx 35’ x 20’ and a depth around 9’ which I’ll be draining and re-tiling this winter.  When it’s time to refill this thing, should I plan to simply drop in a couple hoses or do I need to have a truck come fill the water?

    My pool guy told me it should only cost a couple hundred to fill from a hose but that seems awfully low.  I had a leak a few years back which couldn’t get repaired for about three weeks and I was needing to fill my pool up 2-3” every few days.  My water bill that month was around $1500.   

    Just trying to determine whether or not I need to be preparing for a several thousand dollar water bill after dropping some serious coin for the redo.  

    I’m City of Austin, fwiw.   

  10. When all of this is over it would be interesting to compare this summer to Summer 2007.  

    I would guess May-June-July ‘07 had a higher rainfall amount but this summer has had more days of measurable rain.
