  1. Super disappointed the number of folks online who thought the name of the monkey is Pole Assassin.
  2. Suit was filed Dec 2021. Anyone able to look up the case and see what's up?
  3. Oct 26 2023 9:23AM Short term lake level forecasts for Buchanan and Travis: Buchanan A rise of 1-2 feet is expected over the next 24-48 hours. Travis A rise of 1-2 feet is expected over the next 24-48 hours. https://hydromet.lcra.org/riverreport So not a lot but maybe the ground is saturated and the cold front will bring its own rain.
  4. Llano at Llano showing 12k cfs, so that's an acre foot every 4 seconds or so. Doesn't suck. Still training to the west. This might be a real event.
  5. The Llano basin might get 3-6" over the next 24 hours. Let's not count out a little bit of quantifiable inflows.
  6. Re: kids and money. We've been enjoying Greenlight. Prepaid Mastercard, basically. With app move money around and see every transaction. I even set up my 75 yo mom as user, in case she needs a backup card. I have my own child account, to use at shady gas stations so if I get skimmed ain't nothing to steal. The kids can use it for middle school volleyball tickets, online purchases, etc.
  7. Holla my fellow Bull Creek watershed peeps! That sweet sweet > 1" yellow.
  8. Does anyone remember the Shockwave game "12th of September"? All I can find is YouTube capture of game play.
  9. Fourth batch of 10 silver buffalos has come in (actually 11 this time). So that's two full tubes since I started the $100/mo plan.
  10. You were correct (a lighter). Goes well with the bag of meth.
  11. Found on school campus today. Real or airsoft?
  12. I dont know shit, but a misfire soon after launch would have all the propellant explode, whereas when it putters into some Haifa neighborhood, everything is spent but the warhead itself.
  13. If this dude gets away with it, I'm damming up the creek on my place. Imma get mine.
  14. I had a sort of unspoken oberservation that young folks were increasingly ambivalent about Isreal and sympathetic to the bleak circumstances of Palestinians. And this just sort of destroys all that goodwill in a day. I don't get people.
  15. Kitties Penn State (easter Mountain Lion) Northwestern (Wildcat) Houston (Cougar) Kansas State (Wildcats) Kentucky (Wildcats) Arizona (Wildcat) BYU (Cougars) Auburn (Tigers) LSU (Tigers) Missouri (Tigers) Birds, Amphibians, Reptiles, and Bovine Maryland (Testudo) Florida (Gators) TCU (Horned Frogs) Iowa (Hawks) Kansas (Jayhawks) Texas (Longhorns) Colorado (Buffalo) The Maryland/Florida/TCU makes for a neat trifecta. Those are the core. Fewer birds than you might expect, but maybe one day Illinois will join them. Colorado/Texas make for a pair. Furry friends Wisconsin (Badgers) Minnesota (Gophers) Michigan (Wolverines) Baylor (Bear) Georgia (Bulldogs) Mississippi State (Bulldogs) Cincinnati (Bearcats) - not a cat, apparently! So many critter teams - I decided to go with "fur" as a theme. Is a bearcat snuggleable? I dunno. But I bet a Mountaineer could make a jaunty hat out of it, so let's put em here. Jobs/Occupations Purdue (Boilermakers) Nebraska (Husker) Indiana (Hoosiers) Oklahoma (Sooner) Oklahoma State (Cowboys) WVU (Mountaineers) Texas A&M (aggies, but also Reveille) People, its made of people. Warmongers Vanderbilt (Commodores) Tennessee (Volunteers) Michigan State (Sparty) Texas Tech (Red Raider) UCF (Knights) Ole Miss (Rebels) One could argue some of the Jobs pod could be here, but we've got to have some balance. Other Ohio State - Buckeyes Illinois (formerly Illini, possibly belted kingfisher?) Iowa State (Cyclone, but also Jack?) Alabama (Crimson Tide, but also elephant) Arizona State (Devils) Utah (Utes)
  16. Any advice? For summer '24. Loading the family truckster and hitting the road. We've done a lot of road trips, but we haven't gone to GSMNP. Tentatively thinking 2 day ls driving from Austin to Gatlinbilurg or Pigeon Forge. Long days but not 12 hours on the road. Any cool pitstops? When the kids were little they did the Arky diamond mine. Not sure I'd youngins give a dam about Memphis or blues or Elvis. Might do 3 days on the west side and then 2 nights in Brevard or Bryson City to cover NC side. Focus on reasonable length day hikes and occasional dips in swimming holes. I like old ghost towns and such, my kids are sort of meh. Usually wake fairly early to do trails in the cooler morning, with swimming or scenic drives in the afternoon. Might swing by southern route on the way back for a day at Gulf Shore or similar beach.
  17. Maybe I had the wrong takeaway from that article... but is roughly $100k plus some spending money a decent target to shoot for re college savings? Thats... not as bad as I have been afraid of. Since this thread is also about baring your soul, or at least the fruit of one's gonads... One daughter (13) who has a legit shot at top 6% at a notorious public hs crucible. If she doesn't get auto admit, she'll probably have great scores, APs, IB, etc. I will encourage her to go out of state, to avoid regressive abortion politics. Sorry, not sorry. Son is 11, smart and will study, but not the perfection seeker his sister is. So he won't make top 6%, but with his charm and manner will probably make more money and be naturally be hapoy wherever he lands. He'll probably end up and Tech or whatever. I bet he'll enjoy a school with div1 athletics to watch and a weekend party scene.

  19. Lemons into lemonade... sometimes dealerships sell off inventory at steep discounts after hail, right? I'd be in the market for a truck that got hit by the ugly stick if it mechanically is new. I try to be a drive til it falls apart type owner.
  20. I've heard before many enlisted don't give a shit about some letter-of-reference-from-my-Senator-having officers team. But I've also heard otherwise. I myself come from a long line of cowards and deferments, so I don't rightly know.
  21. Anyone else notice a lot of "actually FIRE people are miserable" articles recently? I'm not particularly conspiracy minded... but its almost like there is a concerted effort in business press to discourage that kind of thing.
  22. Colt owns the Dunkin Donuts at 183 and Pavillion, and the remodel is great. He could work the drive through. I bet he'd even give me extra napkins.
  23. Opposing fans... stick with the horns down and stfu
  24. I mostly watch NFL on mute. But jeez, how bad does Romo suck now? He was good first year... early onset dementia? Maybe he just is lazy? Or he sucks when he isn't cribbing from pre-game conversations with coaches?
