  1. Can't link a single song without feeling bad about not listing the rest. Interpretation: I'm watching the Billy Joel 100th MSG Performance on CBS. Saw him 3 times in the 90s. Dude was a damned hit-maker.
  2. Sometimes I do. But downloading and uploading them takes longer than just linking a yarn gif into imgbb. Is there a way to do that? Can I "choose files" and just paste it into the browse window. I haven't done it in a while. So I don't remember.
  3. Baked in the sun moving the kid into his dorm in Austin Thursday evening and this morning. When we left Austin, it was 103F (about 3:30 pm). By the time we were about an hour northeast of Austin, the outside temperature was 87F. Going to get into the 70s tonight in Tyler and not much higher than low/mid 90s this week and going forward. Stoked!
  4. According to Reddit, all dorms have A/C, but not all dorm rooms have individual thermostats and performance can be sporadic. In any event, we packed him a big, vertical fan.
  5. Thanks. I've been threatening to do that for months. Once I took the picture and went inside, it all started to hit me. I got choked up, and now I can't get that Randy Newman song out of my head.
  6. Which dorm?
  7. I can't imagine that there are. That's more of a TDCJ feature.
  8. We're all packed up. Heading to Austin today, and moving him into Blanton first thing in the morning.
  9. Our first one didn't last 8 years. I was dead set against another one. But there was a top end floor model with the control set in the door for $600. I rolled the dice, and it has been rock solid for years now (no jinx). The dryer, which outlasted the original washer, still is going strong well over a decade now (again, no jinx). We've got two teenage boys and run the machines constantly.
  10. I've got an LG that's built like one of those Russian tanks that breaks down in the Ukraine.
  11. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "This isn't about you. It's about me. Stop taking this moderately-sized gathering's attention off of me." Also, maybe if this asshole would pony up for an indoor venue instead of having throngs of morons gather by the tens in sweltering conditions, they wouldn't keep collapsing.
  12. Yeah. I'm not trying to start a movement or anything. But I likes what I likes. Still, that one above is Mi-T-Fine
  13. My half-brother was a Richard who went by Dick. So that in no way, shape, or form hits close to home.
  14. I had the slightest bit of a hunch that he was going to end that speech by introducing Taylor Swift.
  15. Barack absolutely crushed it.
  16. I have an old pressing of the vinyl. But it's just the music.
  17. I like it on Strats and Les Pauls, but for some reason, I prefer solid colors on Teles.
  18. Chicago Music Exchange will give you a much better price than Guitar Center, but you have to ship it. But with that Champ, I'd list it and get as much as I could for it. It won't cost much to ship, and it doesn't take up much floor space. I've shipped amps large and small all over the country and, once, to Australia. Label and box up the tubes and put them in the cabinet. Gets some large pieces of closed cell foam to pack in there. Wrap the amp in bubble wrap, and put it in a tight fitting card board box. Wrap that box in even more bubble wrap with some foam corner pieces on the box and put that in another tight fitting box. Tape every seam a lot. Use a roll of tape. Insure it. I've had better luck with FedEx than UPS, but I've heard horror stories about both of course. But I've also shipped everything from a champ up to an eighty-pound, 4x12 speaker box across the country without a scratch. You just have to pack them for war.
  19. I've always had two nevers when it came to teles: no sunburst and no bound bodies. But I must say, that's a damned good looking tele.
  20. Absent unusual circumstances, we either can have someone younger or someone with tons of executive and legislative experience. We are sacrificing some of the latter for relative youth and energy.
  21. But I hear if you buy a hat like that, you get a free bowl of soup.
  22. . . . to be turned into a tank top.
