  2. I don’t really like you right now.
  3. I think he meant you’ll enjoy the pool after your wife moves out.
  4. Nah, I offered him the 2 tickets and he could give the second one to anyone else. He's mobile, has a truck and a job, doesn't need much from me. He definitely went through the typical teenage years of wanting nothing to do with mom and dad, but things have trended the other direction the last year or so.
  5. Still slow going on mine too. I have tile in and still a bare concrete pool and deck. Waiting on the equipment to get hooked up, plaster, Sun Dek coating.
  6. Lumineers in Austin at Moody presale tickets started today. My 17 year old and I were supposed to see Colter Wall at Gruene Hall but he cancelled all shows for covid. Lumineers at Moody was the back up plan. Got two tickets just now. The fact the my kid wants to hang with me some will keep me smiling all day today.

  8. I have no idea what could work it’s way under your keys and cause them to stick and fail. None whatsoever.
  9. The bridge don’t lie.
  10. Maybe it was a Shawn White reference.
  11. You’re not flying in business class. You bought a ticket with “business select”. Two very different things. You’ll sit with the rest of the unwashed masses and you’ll like it. Only difference is you’ll board a little bit before most of them. Your only other perk will be a free drink. Really the best you can hope for is a seat on the right side of the aircraft for a nice view of the Grand Canyon on the way in. Or the left side if you prefer seeing Hoover Dam.
  12. I was getting worried on this one. Wordle 240 5/6 ⬛⬛⬛🟦⬛ ⬛🟦⬛⬛🟦 ⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟦🟧🟦⬛ 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧
  13. If you like little airplanes it’ll be great. I took Capr Air to Tortola in the BVI years ago.

  15. My kid was in 8th grade with a kid with a beard. He played football with a different colored helmet because they had to borrow a bigger one from the high school to fit him.
  16. New Geico commercial, not particularly stupid nor memorable for any reason, but I kept trying to figure out where I've seen that dude...
  17. Not married but a weekend get-away is my standard gift for the gf now. A winery, a camping trip, or whatever. I decided recently I’m done buying shit just because someone is due for a gift. Christmas and birthdays too. Kids are getting trips, concert tickets, etc. Experiences rather than stuff. GF too. Parents and sibling get donations to the charities that mean something to them.
  18. My backpack rant: Too many straps and too many pockets. Having shit strapped all over the outside of your pack is irritating. I can see maybe a simple pair of compression straps if your not disciplined enough to just pack less, but you really don’t need a dozen loops and adjustment straps all over it. Pockets on top of other pockets defeat the purpose. Once you fill one of them up, the other is nearly unusable and is now wasted cloth. I like having one large cavernous packing area, one single pocket for earbuds, snack passport, etc... and a tablet sleeve against the back. Ospey makes good stuff and I have a huge one for backpacking in the wilderness and another for a hydration backpack on long mountain bike rides. But for civilized travel I like the plainer packs with fewer bells and whistles. I like the Peak Designs 45L. Lots of space without 14 unnecessary pockets. The Eagle Creek pack midtown posted above is a great bag for half the price. Packing cubes are a waste. Some people swear by them. I don’t get it. I can roll, fold, and pack my clothes in the exact same manner without using the cube. I live out of a suitcase 3 days a week. I’ve never had a problem that a packing cube could solve.
  19. I'd be shocked if every council member, every significant city staffer, and a large number of her voters didn't already know about it all. In today's world, where Presidents get their mushroom dicks described in detail by trailer trash porn stars in tell-all books, it's just another person showing their tits and nobody cares. There is no smoking gun on this. It's just not relevant in today's world.
  20. Tell Romeo we're all sorry to hear about the divorce.
  21. I hate smoke detectors. I’d almost rather risk the house burning down than have them go off every time the oil in the cast iron skillet gets a little warm.
  22. That’s a really awful angle to mount the FMCs.
  23. Another board I frequent has lots of posts about camping. These guys are always asking about the best LED lights to illuminate their campsites. It boggles my mind. The less light the better anytime you are sitting outside enjoying yourself. I bitch at my kids when they fire up a flashlight when the ambient light would have been adequate.
  24. Come on man. That’s the vocal minority. I’m in our most redneck base and almost everyone I fly with is happily vaxxed. As for Bob, nobody knows shit about him. Most of us had never even heard the name before until he was announced last year. Turns out he was in charge of all our IT stuff a while back, and that’s umm… cause for concern. Didn’t know he was an Aggie until I read this thread.
  25. Just took a walk around the block in 78749. Some ice here and there but mostly just water. Just saw that Valentinas is opening today. Probably gonna make that my last journey on the streets for the day to grab a few Real Deal Holyfields for breakfast for the house.
