  1. Anyone handy and knowledgeable about such things? My son (10) is interested in cars and engineering and also tearing around the ranch. But I'm cheap. I want something that will last until he gets interested in girls and doesn't have time for his old man anymore. Then I can drove it. What's the way to go? Buy a used yerf dog spiderbox? (But spare parts a probem?) Are modern coleman or gy6 the way to go? I don't have any dreams about putting a 400cc engine or whatever. Keeping it 150, max maybe a harbor freight predator 212. I'm not super handy, but fixing flats and adjusting cables and cleaning carbs might be a fun experience to share.
  2. First set in. Shored up all sides. I need to get my jig saw and embiggen the hole a tad. My hole saw didn't want to cut all the way through. I thought I might need to come back and back fill, but it's tight. I may run a bead of expanding foam. Or not a little air exchange is probably good. After completed the sides I dug another 8 or 10 buckets full. 36" crowbar for scale. And here is my dirt pile. Spoils.

  4. Bad mental decline runs in my family. Any way I could get like 40 Mexican Oxys for when I'm like half vegetable? I'm so square I don’t think I'll know a guy.
  5. What's the best charity for Turkey/Syria? (Or: a good enough one)
  6. Peterson did experimental rapid benzodiazepine detox in some Russian hospital, where apparently a penis pump was strapped to his junk. Idk exactly. My only knowledge of klonopin is from Jason Isbell lyrics.
  7. Welp: F22: Balloon, UFO x2
  8. From 2011: https://www.city-journal.org/html/1-million-dead-30-seconds-13396.html
  9. This is a reminder then neither SI nor Newsweek truly exist anymore.
  10. I helped an old lady down the street clear her driveway and make it so the postman can deliver mail. I figure I'm good on karma for the next 10 to 15 years.
  11. No "emerged, it's a dry run for an EMP attack!" Surly, I'm disappointed.
  12. And yo Austinz get your airtraffic controllers straight https://www.aviacionline.com/2023/02/two-plane-near-collision-averted-at-austin-bergstrom-airport-what-we-know/
  13. Fwiw I love my corded reciprocating saw with a pruning blade. I use it all the time at the ranch (home of the hole) and it works great for fallen branches. I noticed Cedar Park Home Depot was "out" of blades up in the saw blade section, but in the front of the store they had a ton of 2-packs (9" and 12").maybe for spring?
  14. He can't be in Austin, because he needs working elevators. That's not a slam or a joke, just a practical observation.
  15. It's not clear to me if the $6500/yr rollover has to be limited to the kiddos earnings or what. More clarity should emerge soon. If it is limited to earnings, it's not a huge help (rich people have been putting up to annual limit in a roth under their kids name since their first job at the country club since roths began).
  16. This was my chinquapin oak. I loved it.
  17. I do Ohio's 529. It's just vanguard. And fwiw, the new tax changes allow for 529 to $35k rollover into your kiddos Roth. Needs to be a 15 year old account. Just think of what $35k could be worth after 45 years. 6x is very reasonable.
  18. Trees out here (Spicewood & 183) are peeled like bananas. Can't imagine the apocalypse it would have been if '21 hadn't already decimated the ash and thinned out the rest.
  19. A few years ago (10?) I was taking the 183 South flyover from 45 after midnight, whilst rocking out (Fun "All Alone") when my glasses flew off my head into the backseat. Things seemed dire but I was able to make a peep with myself fingers on my left hand, slow down, and drive with one near-sighted eye until I could pull over. They never made a second album.
  20. The Decker Lake thing is a 20 car pileup. They aren't sure if the 2 who were thrown off the flyover are pedestrians or passengers, but it seems like they at least know where they are. Over on Ben White they've got a 10 car pile up with a dead pedestrian.
  21. They shut down 183A. Over on 130 (i think near Decker Lake?) they think two people were ejected off a flyover.
  22. Waaaay ahead of you
