  1. Until they DM the scat video to their buddy at OSU.
  2. I scored a two-bike 1up on craiglist a couple years ago, but not for much less than new. Basically saved me tax and shipping. I love it. Sturdy and simple. A lot of folks are happy with their Kuat racks too.
  3. As an enlisted Marine grunt, it always felt a little gross cheering on a bunch of future officers, especially academy grads. Even moreso since most of them would end up as bell bottom-wearing squids. Nobody I knew back then gave a shit about the game. Pretty sure half of them didn’t even really know what the academies were. But fuck it… Go Navy. There’s got to be a future decent Devil Dog or two on that team.
  4. Damn dude. I love night riding but haven’t done it in a while. Glad it wasn’t worse.
  5. Well... about a year ago on this thread I was saying the same thing. Need a ss for trips to the gym, getting coffee, cruising the 'hood with the kids, etc... I bought a used 2013 Kona Unit rigid SS, size medium. Paid $500. A neighbor had a carbon seatpost and bars so I put those on it (they say it takes some of the sting out of being a rigid bike but I didn't notice a difference... rigid is rigid). So fast forward a year and that bike has indeed made a few trips to the gym and around the neighborhood, but you'll all be shocked to know it mainly just takes up room in my garage and gets in my way. It's yours for the same $500 I paid for it if you want it.
  6. yep, right over my head
  7. Thanks Gil, I love reading Pan Am stuff. My grandfather started flying the DC-3 for them in 1942 and retired on the 747 in 1981. I grew up hearing the greatest stories from him. The story you posted is the subject of a book calledThe Long Way Home. https://www.amazon.com/dp/061521472X?psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp And lulz at $500... that wouldn't get you up to cruise today.
  8. Delivery and stacking was included in the price. Didn't even occur to me to tip a guy for doing the work he said he'd do at the agreed price.
  9. I just ordered some from, no shit, Morning Wood in South Austin. It took the guy a couple more days than he said it would but he was good at communicating his delays to me and always responded quickly. He’s just really busy. Nice guy though. I got 1/2 a face cord and it’ll probably last me all winter but I’ll order from him again next year. I don’t remember the price but it was less than the other guy Yelp suggested.
  10. Never underestimate how pathetic a completely demoralized and broken fanbase can get, especially ours.
  11. fixed
  12. College kids don't give a shit about the whole town. Lubbock is an absolute shithole but Tech's campus and the immediate vicinity around it are not the worst environment in this conference. But still... nothing is worse than Columbus. Or Ohio as a whole. Or the entire midwest for that matter.
  13. Overnight gets you an easier pair of hikes and, more importantly, the sunrise on the rim. There's multiple photos with pics in this thread or the camping/backpacking thread. Lost Mine trail can be a hassle with the lack of parking but the views at the end of that trail are some of the best in the park.
  14. Maybe we can talk him into coming here, help recruit some o-line and then pat him on the back on the way out as we help facilitate his next transfer to Lubbock or whatever other shithole is his next flavor of the month.
  15. I'd be happy to get half of those.
  16. For me it’s mostly lower back issues. I had a herniated a disc a few years ago that I had to repair twice. The disc above it is bulging and if I have to go under the knife again it’ll be for a fusion. I’m trying to avoid that. Or more accurately, I’m trying to push that off into the future as long as possible. But I won’t suffer through the sciatic pain as long as I did before. At the first sign of that sciatic pain I’m going to start the process because that shit was miserable all day every day until they fixed it. But for now it’s just lower back tightness and achiness that looses up with a little work. Sometimes on bigger drops on the mountain bike my elbows take a beating. I’ve broken both of them at separate times over the years and never had either one properly fixed. They click a little bit when I bend them and big impacts give them a quick jolt of pain but it goes away almost immediately. Not too worried about that. For my back I’ve been doing a 30 minute yoga routine lately almost every morning. It helps me a lot. Took about a week before I noticed less back pain and tightness. It helps that the girl on the video is easy to look at and listen to.
  17. When the ex doesn't comply you have a printed copy of the decree and you call the cops. You get the kids and go eat turkey a little later than you planned. I'm lucky to have a very reasonable ex who wouldn't pull that shit but damn, there's a right way and a wrong way to act if the decree is on your side. What a waste.
  18. I don't know specific names but there are several properties in Terlingua that have cabins.
  19. To each their own. I've filled out an equal number of rowing and basketball brackets. I like seeing us have success just because.. Longhorns. But the sport just isn't that enjoyable for me to watch or pay much attention to. I get that it's a big deal to most others. To me it's not.
  20. I support baseball, been to a handful of games, will watch the CWS, got pics of my kids running the bases at the Disch, etc... But it'll never bring the excitement for me that football does. If we're basing it off success then Volleyball, Tennis, Rowing, Golf, and Track and Field have all won NCs more recently than baseball. And swimming/diving has to be the undisputed king of sports.
  21. There's football and there's "other sports". I like seeing us win in other sports too, but baseball and basketball might as well be tennis and rowing.
  22. I fucked that girl last week. It's Prince's I Wanna be Your Lover.
  23. That’s a scene from the movie Top Secret in the 80’s.
  24. What is it with Mexican hotels and slick polished tile in the showers? I’m not old enough to break a hip yet but if I do it’ll be in Mexican hotel room shower.
