  1. put the brisket on at 1030 last night aiming for a 10-11 finish and the damn thing never really stalled and went strait to 200 and was done around 6 this morning. Smoking a turkey and making mashed potatoes, stuffing, Mac and cheese, pinto beans and sweet potatoes.
  2. He's got a blue check, you know you can't trust him
  3. As soon as the kiddos are off to college we're planning on doing a bunch of overlanding across the west. I have an FJ cruiser and when I'm alone or with one dog it's fine to camp in, but 2 dogs and two people are too much. I've been looking for an off road camper for a while, will probably pull the trigger in a year or two. https://www.opuscamper.us/ https://taxaoutdoors.com/ https://www.blackseries.net/ Taxa has some little ones that would be good for 1 person.
  4. You know what I really liked? Not hearing "Track Limits" once. Amazing how the drivers can stay on the track with a wall there.
  5. Forward progress stopped here marked here
  6. not so fast my friend
  7. I really wanted to use the winch on the front of my truck for once.
  8. Not family but neighbors so kinda fits thread. About midnight last night I hear a screaching of tires followed by a crash. Go outside and there is a car in the ditch between my driveway and neighbors driveway. It's pretty dark and a teenage girl is screaming at the driver. "you always do this. Your such a fucking alcoholic. How many fucking cars are you going to wreck." Doesn't look like anyone is hurt so I go inside since: I assumed it was my neighbors daughter screaming at my neighbor. I text the husband and tell him I'm not sure exactly what is going on outside but if he needs help getting the car out of the ditch or anything please let me know. This morning he tells me his wife had a book club meeting and one of the ladies got super drunk so his wife drove her home. Turns out the lady forgot her phone and convinced her daughter to drive her to go get it. Daughter drives up steep driveway, knocks on door, gets phone, turns around and drunk mom decided to back car down driveway and into ditch. Neighbor manages to get car out of ditch, car parts everywhere. Teen girl does not want to ride home with mom, so neighbor drives her home in wrecked car, stopping to pick up parts as they fall off, his wife drives drunky home in other car. Wrecked car won't start without blowing into breathalyzer. Neighbor doesn't have the lung capacity to get device to pass, teenage girl does it with out issue. About 1am drunky realizes she left phone at accident site when getting out. Neighbor and drunky's daughter meet at gas station at 1:30 am to hand off phone. Person that was supposed to pick up drunky after book club is her "side piece". Turns out side piece is friends with neighbor and currently in divorce proceedings with a woman he was using to cheat with on previous wife. Told him they just needed some snow and a former high school crush and they'd have themselves a hallmark christmas movie.
  9. This is the aggy thread, lets leave the Astros and Altuve out of it please.
  10. Did they let an 80 year old asian woman drive that?
  11. filters are $79 on amazon, but it's supposed to be cleanable.
  12. Got a call from them today, not Kevin. Went through the list of other stuff and then the last item mentions the "odd noise coming out the back when running". Didn't think it was a big deal but just wanted to tell me so I watch/listen for it next time we go out. Slightly different description from the previous. They did tell me my air filter was dirty and could replace it for $200 for the part and a half hour of labor. (rate: $165/hr). I told them I think I can figure out how to replace it.
  13. It's at a place on 620 in lakeway
  14. All I got is what's above I'm going to go over there tomorrow and take a look at it
  15. I've used them once before and they seemed fine, don't remember anything odd that time Thanks, this is what I was thinking along with a "how could this happen" type questioning. I know I haven't hit anything in quite a while, and don't see how sitting on a trailer for a couple of weeks and dragging it 5 miles down the road could bend a shaft.
  16. So I take in the boat for an oil change and impeller replacement and get this text: Hello Mr. Blacklab this is Kevin with ____. the services on your boat are completed. While our tech was running the boat up to temp, he shifted the boat into gear as a normal check and noticed as big vibration and determined the shaft is bent. He has put in the work order a job to diag underwater gear for damage. Needing approval to move forward. I will email you the work order so you can see all the tech notes. Boat was fine last time we were in the lake a few weeks ago. I don’t remember hitting anything and nothing happened dragging the boat home or to the shop. My first instinct is they damaged it or it’s a scam to get more money out of me. Any advice?
  17. nice picks guys
  18. Holy shit WFT on barton springs. Haven't been that way in a while, and now the only way to Mopac from the river to 70/290 is one fucking lane in each direction? Made a round trip and used it twice. Hundreds of cars, traffic backed up eastbound, and I saw one dude on a bike between mopac and lamar. This was around 10-11am. I can't imagine how bad it is during rush hour.
  19. wrong down or distance one play resulted in a first down, he said it's 3rd down another play was 2nd and 7 and he said 2nd and 3.
