  1. Needed more eye black
  2. Good job, good effort
  3. Thought this one was an obvious stand out
  4. This was my experience. Got one when I was 42. I consider myself healthy-ish. Normal body weight, exercise regularly. I don't eat great though. I scored over 90th percentile on the calcium test. That's not a good score at all. Like really shitty. I was even training for my second marathon at the time of the test. So I don't know where the correlations are. I think it's genetic because I told my dad and he said his was bad too. And he's in better shape than I am today My cardiologist said there's no need to do another calcium test. He said it's a good data point, but doesn't mean anything definite by itself. However, I did do a stress test also and he said that should be repeated every couple of years because of my poor calcium score
  5. Each Wes Anderson movie is more Wes Anderson than the last and I'm here for it.
  6. Bah gawd, that's the referee's music!
  7. Stay on target... /Porkins
  8. I want to hear from the mic'd up dad now.
  9. What are the most common ways to finance a remodel when the rate on the original mortgage is low but current rates are what they are? Roll everything into a new loan at? Seems counter intuitive.
  10. I think it's referring to the one basket they've made halfway through the second half. Their sole basket, if you will.
  11. We're back baby! Topped out at 148 hours. Hoping tonight's storm doesn't restart the cycle. As long as it was 60 degrees outside, it was fine. Not ideal, but bearable. But I wasn't looking forward to 48 degrees tomorrow morning.
  12. 144 hours and counting.
  13. this is the correct response to my hopium post up above. They fixed the power two streets over yesterday before dark and drove away. Nothing today on our street. I called the Austin Energy service line and they basically read the details from the outage map to me. "Oh, yes. I see it's you and 50 other customers that don't have power."
  14. This is fine.
  15. Crews appeared a few streets over a couple of hours ago. They were accompanied by at least five trucks of A&M Forest Service folks to help clear trees and branches. Hoping they don't pack up when it gets dark because what they're working on now won't fix our street. We'll be fine another night, but I'd really like to dress in the morning with lights.
  16. I can't get fitted for my hundred hour jacket until 11 am today. I don't see my appointment getting cancelled.
  17. Coming up on 75 hours without power
  18. Yeah, that's the double kick to the nuts. No power and $300+ of groceries that we never ate. Still no trucks in our part of 31. Not a word from AE. I get it, the work is tough and time consuming, but I'd like to know where we are in line so I can plan. I think we were one of the first to lose power late Tuesday/ early wed. I'm also keeping an eye on PECs outage map and watching that thing make more progress than AE.
  19. I haven't even seen a crew anywhere near our neighborhood. That outage map hasn't made much progress in the past 24 hours.
  20. Not sure it's a makeup call when the first call was also a foul.
