  1. I like to think that Richard Nixon’s “the most faggy goddamn thing you could ever imagine” would now apply to the love between don and kim instead of bohemian grove.
  2. ‘I’m talking about.....ethics’ ‘An interesting ethical question’ Al’s favorite movie, Marcia Gay Harden mmmmmmmmm..........
  3. Tapehead Electronics in Austin. Took in my 70's Pioneer SX-850 to figure out why it would lose the lower frequency signal intermittently along with a noisy volume knob. The fact that it spent most of its life in a barn didn't help, but it also did not kill it. They did replace a few parts and clean the entire inside of the unit and has since worked flawlessly, including the deposit which was applied to the final invoice, the cost was under $200. I have cleaned the outer shell, repainted the rusting metal covers, sanded and stained the exterior wood and now looks like a retro piece of furniture that produces amazing sound. I did check a few other places in Austin and the estimates ranged from $500-$$800 depending on the scope after they get into the project. Mostly these guys are looking to refurbish the unit and the money can be considered well spent if that is what you're into. I just wanted it to work again and am very happy with the result. Also, I think it was less than a month when I got the receiver back, a full restoration would have likely be months longer.
  4. Blazing Saddles references still working in 2020.
  5. And here we go.
  6. <you're GD right gif from Breaking Bad> OBD on order=money well spent.
  7. /csb alert All the Spam talk is making Al nostalgic. Little Al was taken to the first few Spamarama events in Austin back in the day. Al's Mom wanted her children steeped in the Austin culture long before it became a thing, as a transplant from New England, she was ahead of her time and we did all things Austin and free. Spam was also not allowed in Case de Czervik because it was considered food for the poors, so the Spam experience was limited to Spamarama or the occasional friends house that served it, nonetheless it has great memories. Fun fact, we were the poors. /csb
  8. Corona, Snoop Dogg. Fucking enough already.
  9. Don’t be making fun of my Jan Brady, Al is a middle child too.
  10. Might be a stretch, butt, user name kinda checks out.
  11. Still looking. Not really much to be found online unless you want to venture way further North. Seems like many of the links found on the bird forums related to Texas Pheasants are old or broken. Not giving up yet, my left handed Remington 1187 needs to get out and take a long walk this year.
  12. First off, make sure the gas cap is tight.
  13. Ending Thursday driveway happy hour with another meal/snack that I wanted to share. Last togo pan of frozen vacuum sealed enchiladas from Dart Bowl that were primed for consumption. Topped with raw avocado and a butter fried egg. Saltines because Dart Bowl. No weapon, but the souvenir pin from DB can be used lethally.
  14. <Red, from Pineapple Express>
  15. Old thread getting a bump. I want to try Pheasant hunting, wild birds, not pen raised, up in the Panhandle when this season. Unfortunately I'll probably be doing this solo as my friends do not hunt. Any help on finding an outfitter/guide up that way from any of y'all in the know? Looking to get away but not South Dakota away. I could go to Central Market and buy a whole bird but it probably won't be the same.
  16. Tito’s, South down Alamo Street. My go-to. West Ave Tacos on West Ave. San Antonio is all about the eating.
  17. I humbly submit for the viewers enjoyment. Had a late night walk to the corner JITB after driveway happy hour. Made this snack healthy by adding a little green avocado and gently wrapping the fried tacos in lightly microwaved tortillas (not pictured). Eggroll held it's own without the nasty sweet and sour sauce. Jack antenna ball was a nice surprise from the gals working the drive thru window, Al must have been extra flirty or just down right handsome last night. Springfield Armory and Buck Knife products added in for ambiance.
  18. You will become best friends with the dog. Do not resist.
  19. Homer Simpson said it best "They ruined all our best names, like Bruce, Lance and Julian"
  20. And an instructor in high school or college, can not remember: Semon Strobos. the unfortunate jokes almost write themselves. Dude probably posts here, sorry Mr. Strobos.
  21. Those type of fatigues have draw straps on the side so you can cinch them up, if they are already cinched up, poor pants.
  22. When aren't they not blowing up ball bearing factories? Such shenanigans.
