  1. edit: tickets are purchased.
  2. We come from south of the river to AHS. The trick is to take Walsh Tarleton in from behind Barton Creek Mall and then cut over into Rollingwood and zigzag your way to Stratford and pick your kid up at the rowing dock on Stratford. Usually just have to do it once as most of the kids in will skip one of those Fridays and attend the festival. Abd cancellation of ACL is still a possibility at this point. I bet they won’t because of $. But they’ve been canceling a lot of small scale festivities like the Batfest, Pecan Street Fest, etc. ACL has not yet received its permit for this year and the city is still waiting and seeing. But the Facebook moms are sure riled up about this. Sternly worded emails have been written to city authorities about this hassle of picking up kids from this school that the district already provides free transportation to and from everyday.
  3. You’re trying to see the world of an 18-year-old kid through the eyes of a middle-aged man. Plenty of these kids grew up in towns not too different those shithole towns that you think they should hate. As a father of a teenage boy who is starting to look around at where he wants to go to college I can tell you that big city like Miami is not appealing to him at all. I’m sure its appealing for some, but not the majority by any means.
  4. Have you considered signing up for that bank service that rounds every purchase up to the next dollar and sends all the change to your savings account?
  5. You might just need to head over there with some ladders, trim brushes, a sprayer, and some of your finest acrylic latex semi-gloss.
  6. Fair enough. I do have higher expectations for the program. But thus far there has been zero evidence that we'd be any better than last year. Every new coach comes in saying thew right things and getting the fanbase pumped up. Strong did it, Tom did it, and now Sark has done it. The fanbase buys that shit every time. THIS is finally the time it'll be different because this guy is saying the same shit the last couple guys said but he really MEANS it this time! All Sark had to do is come in and say "All Gas No Brakes" a few times and the collective fanbase was wiping his jizz off their chin. There are a few concrete things that have changed for the better, like getting Bijan more touches. But it's all for nothing without solid line play and jack shit has changed there and there was no indication whatsoever throughout the spring and summer that it would have changed. All this excitement was based on not much more than a few press conferences and soundbites. Having high expectations is very different from predicting wins and the "show me a loss" crowd. I think we'll lose 4 games this year, but by no means do I feel like that's good enough.
  7. People who claim what record we could have had are also part of the problem. We went 7-3 period.
  8. Anyone that picked that needs to be punched in the face tonight on principle. Those fuckers are part of the problem.
  9. This. Some of you fuckers just keep putting this team on a pedestal EVERY GODDAMN YEAR. Newflash: We still suck and we sill continue to suck until we prove that we don't.
  10. I don't doubt that she's batshit crazy and dumber than a box of hammers, but what is she talking about? I guess she's talking about CRT but is she saying the lyrics to Fuck Tha Police are in the curriculum? Am I missing something there?
  11. That was planned and scripted by all of them.
  12. My son and I put 5100s and an add-a-leaf on my old (his new) Tacoma. It added about an inch but more importantly it firmed up the ride. The old shocks had 250,000 miles on them and it was diving in corners so bad. Love the new ride.
  13. You're just seeing what you want to see. Analyzing the guy's emotions based on a split second facial expression and the way he sits on the bench is stupid. He may or may not transfer, I hope he doesn't but I wouldn't blame him if he did. But this pic isn't evidence of it.
  14. Apparently a lot of rental car companies sold off cars to stay afloat in the beginning of Covid when nobody was traveling. Now that people are going places in droves they can’t get cars fast enough to replenish the fleet.
  15. That’s quick on gunnite. I’ve been told to expect to wait 3-4 weeks for it.
  16. Steel bumper if you’re out there wheeling around rough shit. Black valance if you’re not.
  17. Don’t judge all the shit in my yard. I have no back porch whatsoever during all this. It’s dirt right to the threshold of the back door.
  18. Dialing in the new altitude up top and hitting the alt intv button won't change the descent mode. It stays in VNAV and will descend to the higher of the two altitudes (the one up top vs the one programmed for the next fix in the FMC). If you just dial in 3000 and do nothing else it will still level at 6000'. But hitting the altitude invention button deletes the restriction at the next fix in the FMC and so now the 3000' is the highest altitude set and you'll get a cruise descent to that altitude. If it was a different button he hit then it would change the mode. That low and likely with no other fixes beyond the one you'll cross at 3000 we usually hit Level Change which gives a you flight idle descent to the altitude set up top with no regard whats in the FMC. VNAV is the hardest damn thing I ever had to learn in an airplane and I won't be surprised if I fucked that explanation up. Even in the RJ I used to fly we just used vertical speed. Altitude to lose divided by 3 = number of miles out to start down. Groundspeed times 5 = your descent rate to get there. VNAV was a whole new world to me and it didn't come easy.
  19. I had a new fence built about a year ago. Adding an 8 foot wide double gate only cost a little extra. It already paid for itself. It took them 3 days to break rock and dig it out. Got the rebar and plumbing in over the next 2 days. Electrical next and then a 3-4 week wait for gunnite.
  20. Great stuff! I have no excuse for not having been out there.
  21. Forgot all about this thread. Tell me something to buy!
  22. And all this fancy shaving bullshit can get off my lawn. Nothing manly about adding a bunch of time to your bathroom routine. Any razor I have to be careful with is a nonstarter for me. I shave my entire face and my entire bald head while I’m in the shower, start to finish in 3 minutes… with the grain on the face, both directions on the dome. Smooth and perfect in 3 minutes with no mirror or extra bullshit brushes made from filthy animals or fancy bowls. I need a razor that I can confidently swing around from one hand or the other behind my head going in random directions without looking, often in hotels with no mirror, and not be worried about slicing anything. I can’t remember the last time I cut myself anywhere on my head or my face. Without a doubt it’s been years. So I clicked on that art of manliness link and the guy pictured in the video was the nerdiest motherfucker I’ve ever seen. No doubt he orders coffee with at least 9 words in the drink name and can’t do 20 pushups. I still roll with a Mach 3. I’ve had the handle longer than you’ve had your merkur. I’m buy the razors on Amazon and while they cost more than a penny each it’s not an expense that I notice. There are a couple shave creams I like and I buy whichever one I see first in H-E-B. They are fancy enough to not be Barbasol foam but not so fancy that I can’t get one at H-E-B anytime I need it. Usually it’s Cremo or Headslick. Theres no way that your safety razors give you a shave that’s any closer than any other razor, not counting some rusted out old dull disposable crap. I’ve never understood this idea of chasing a closer shave anyway. I don’t believe I’ve ever shaved with an actual non disposable razor of any brand and finished feeling anything other than completely smooth. Not sure why I would need any loftier goals than that.
  23. Depends on where you are. Weather in the mountains is often very different from Denver. Yeah, in your situation that makes good sense. I’m coming from Austin and I’d like to have a place in the mountains of Colorado as well. Not so much for vacation, just a place to spend half my year once the kids are out of the house. But if I had a place that was still in the Texas heat, I’d hardly ever go there.
  24. The problem with keeping it close to home is that the weather close to home is exactly what I like to get very far away from when I vacation.
  25. Popeye’s with one car currently in the drive thru vs. CFA with 15 cars in the drive-thru…. CFA still gonna get you on your way faster and without making you weep for the future of humanity. Your typical CFA manager could probably give any major city traffic planner a leson on how to move cars and get the most efficiency out of your roads.
