  1. Thank you for posting that amazing footage. I had never seen that.
  2. Is honey "better" than sugar? Is coffee "better" than beer? Let's just leave "better" out of it. Jimmy was/is a master of a style which previously was the sole ("soul") style of older black players, much like Bill Campbell, a white boy who you would swear was black if you closed your eyes. The phrasing. The turn arounds. The vibrato. The licks. The pulls. Campbell and Jimmy were/are like no other white players, at least none that I know of anyway...Johnny Richardson flirted with that league sometimes. Stevie, I think, could play what Jimmy and Campbell played, but he just had more to say. It's not the same, at all, and to put one over the other diminishes both.
  3. My God. It’s full of stars.
  4. You mention AC repair guy that used to work for you. If he works in Austin, and if he will repair unit rather than just try to sell me a new one, I would like his contact info. Thx.

      Tell him that Mark from Ranch Hand Roofing sent you.

  5. Compressor and its fan come on but no air from ducts. So I'm gathering fan compressor...but it's intermittent. Sometimes air to ducts, sometimes not. Any thoughts on intermittent?

    Vinyl

    How should I sell a collection? I have 1000+. All styles of music. Mostly rock, classical, blues, a little country. Couple dozen Japanese pressings and MFSL. Tons of classical cut outs still in shrink wrap. All stored straight and vertically. It’s time to downsize. Want to move all, not one at a time.
  7. For me, they get the chili gravy/cheese ratio right. That photo that BearCountry11 posted over in Noach Austin is all wrong, for my tastes anyway. Way too much cheese unless there is an ocean of chili gravy under that cheese. At El Pat I always have enough gravy left, after eating the main stuff, to dip another few tortilla chips or a corn tortilla, or slurp it up with a spoon, which always gets "that look" from my wife. Guess I'll have to get used to waiting an hour at Dart Bowl.
  8. How do you keep the shades from flopping around in the wind?

  10. Anyone know what is now on the site where Victoria House was, or the address of Victoria House. I would like to stay as close as possible to the place of my fond memories. Damn you, Ivan!
  11. Say...come here Goofy, you buck toof mutha fucka!
  12. Any secret tips to making custard? I could never find the sweet spot between raw egg/scrambled egg.
  13. I have a Jackery and an Anker. They seem about the same and will charge a phone about 2 1/2 times. Model depends on what size you want to carry around and how much you want to spend. The one's I use are about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Got both on Amazon.
  14. Not trying to be a dick, but if she doesn't remember to charge her phone she's not going to remember to charge a battery pack. Essentially, you're going to have to make it part of *your* routine. That's what I ended up doing.
  15. Peachy's gone south for the week.

  18. Dear Mayor and Council Members: I own the property at xxxxxxx on Lake Austin, next to the xxxxx, in the xxxxx subdivision, which I purchased in 1978. For planning and control purposes in about 2000, the City did a special purpose annexation of lakefront land and since then has subjected us to full City of Austin development and environmental controls. My property is 100% in the County and I receive no city services -- water, sewer, fire, police, EMS, trash, etc.. I am not taxed by the City currently, nor should I be taxed, unless and until the City commits to providing our location with full city services, which I understand is required under Texas law. Currently there is no plan for the City to ever provide us with such services. I saw in the paper over the weekend an article on a proposed taxation of properties along Lake Austin, which I assume would impact my property, but not my neighbors' property on the bluff side of xxxxx (about 20 houses in the subdivision). If not against the law, it would at least be inappropriate and unfair to tax my property until you can provide me the city services which property taxes are intended to pay for. Also, before any action is taken, you should inform all property owners who are affected by this proposed taxation, and hold a public hearing to give the many homeowners along Lake Austin a voice in this decision. Thank you for your consideration of these arguments against the proposed taxation of properties on Lake Austin that have not been fully annexed into the city and do not receive any city services, yet must bear the cost and burdens of City planning regulations that place serious constraints on the use of our homes and land. Thank you. Sincerely, xxxx Street address: xxxxx, Austin, TX 78733 Council District: 10
  19. Lost Highway BBC Documentary is a good filler until the Burns comes out.
  20. You can also run a bead of clear calk along the tape line, smooth the calk so it gets under the tape, paint and remove the tape before the paint dries. I've never done this, but I saw a painter do it and was amazed.

  22. I am taking care of my aging father's house. The pool is a total mess, he even used it as a fish pond for some time. What do you say I should do with it? I read that it is not good to drain it, but it is a mosquito breeding disaster. To make it functional again I am sure I would have to replace everything other than the hole in the ground. If I got it up and running there is nobody there to use it anyway, so maintenance would be wasted money. Is there some type of cover for "abandoned" pools that will lower the risk of kids falling in? If so, do I drain it to keep mosquitoes from breeding? What would you do?
