    Some asshole did this to my swim platform at Lake Austin Marina while I was on my lift, and they didn’t leave a note, strongly worded or otherwise. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Got my VRBO in Frisco and I got all 7 days I wanted b/t Xmas and NYD at Vail and Breck and 4 days for my wife and two kids during the same 7 day time frame. Granted, I logged into the waiting room right at 8am (90k in line). I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about Covid closures. I was told that electing Biden would bring that to an immediate halt. (no CR).

    He didn’t say play well on that stage, just said plays. If he was referring to playoff and CCG appearances, it’s a fair point. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    We actually control our own destiny at this point, correct? Win out and we win the conference. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Each of these how to videos requires me to be able to access the end of the zipper. I don’t see how I can do that here: I think I would have to cut the cooler which would destroy it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Better there than on the highway I guess. Seems like trailer ball technology is due for a little advancement. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    it's a common ass story. I see it posted multiple times a day on the Qualified Captain IG page. I try not to laugh too much b/c karma is a bitch.

    I dragged my old pontoon's prop in LBJ a bit. Nothing serious, but in my current whip, it would call for repair. There are spots that would surprise you, like just west of the new 2900 bridge on the north half of the lake. Others are more obvious, like anywhere close to party island. My favorite place in that lake is where the Llano runs into the lake. There 's a place there that we dubbed Bluebonnet Island which was just a sand bar covered in wildflowers. Great place to get out and swim b/c the water is clear and it's right at the point where the flow of the river comes to an end. But it's way too shallow there for me to consider getting close to in the surf boat. We'd have to park a ways back and stop.

    This is why I don't understand how cheap boat insurance is. So many things you can fuck up. I already paid to remove a small scratch in my gel coat and had a small bend repaired by Nettle Props (at no charge, very nice of them). I narrowly missed crushing my bimini top on a beam in my marina's roof and I narrowly missed bending the nose of my bow on the boat docked in front of me in the marina. That's all in just ~ten hours of operation.

    The slide piece of the zipper on this Yukon Territory (available at Buc-ee’s) soft side cooler broke off. Fortunately they are honoring their product and sending me a new one, but I wouldn’t mind figuring out how the heck to fix this one and having two. Is there a trick to getting a slider back on this thing? The original broke in half and is unusable, but I’m sure I can find something similar at Hobby Lobby. Just not sure how to actually get it back on. The ends of the teeth on both ends are not accessible, so you can’t just slide it back on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    i feel like you're leaving out the end of the story. did they sink? did they get it back on the trailer? i have to imagine that process was a shit show too. and where are the pics? not of Marge. of the fucked up hull.

    That was my comment. Clearly I’m now entitled to some ownership interest in the Murder Hornet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Careful. We haven’t played Kansas yet. Or fired Tom Herman. [emoji43] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ain’t nobody want their big ass dog scratching up this: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oh, he's definitely a water dog. We have a community dock on Lake Austin that he loves. Although one time he ended up getting stapled on all four paws b/c of the damn zebra mussels. He was a regular on the pontoon, but even with the nail grinding suggestions, I'm still a little hesitant to get him out on a nearly brand new Centurion.

    You guys bring your big dogs on your boats? I have a 85# chocolate lab (named Major) who loved to come out with us on the old pontoon. I'm not sure he'll ever be scoring an invite onto the wake surf though. He has feet the size of dinner plates and I worry he'd scratch up the GatorStep or vinyl. I feel bad that the poor guy was stuck in the house all day yesterday though.

    Your short distance and your ramp not being too steep weigh in your favor. Travis ramps are generally steeper than Austin’s. But you have a lot working against you. Find out what your weight on trailer is and then add more for gas in the tank, water that didn’t drain from your ballasts fully, wet life jackets, tubes, ropes, dock lines, bumpers, coolers, anchors, tools, spare parts, etc. For reference, mine is 6950# factory “weight on trailer” before adding all the aforementioned variables for a 23’7” boat. I’d put rubber floor mats in the 4Runner just to be safe. [emoji90] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Good luck finding a vehicle that can tow 5000k AND has a built-in vacuum cleaner! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pretty cool-looking competitor to Jeep Wrangler, but can it tow for shit?

    Man, I love the big ass grills of the late model Lexi and BMW. But that Hitler pic is going to be hard to shake. I already feel Jewish guilt for driving BMW, but that just kicked it up a notch.

    My plan before I lucked out with a slip at a marina was to tow my Ri237 with an X7. It's has AWD and a 7500# towing capacity with a factory-installed hitch, but the prospect was still quite scary, especially since I've been watching Qualified Captain and other similar video series.
