  1. ‘Misrouted’ from LA to DC through China? That’s a lot of porn you sneaky Red Devils.
  2. For those of you looking for deals on electronics, I recommend that you sign up for Fry's e-mail promotions. I believe they e-mail you an extra discount code when you sign up that you can stack with their already heavily discounted deal of the day.
  3. You're referring to Bayou Classic [Grambling v. Southern]. I had a lot of Wyndham points that were going to expire so the wife and I have hotel booked for four nights 11/21 - 11/25 for Thanksgiving weekend. I've been to N.O. half a dozen times over the years. Once during the Essence Festival weekend so I pretty much know what to expect. We are considering the Thanksgiving meal at the horse races. It's supposed to be pretty nice. WWII museum. Perhaps a fan-boat gator tour. Lots of eating. I also double booked the same dates at the Galvez in Galveston. So I'm torn as to which location would be better for Thanksgiving. *edit - didn't notice the kid qualification in the header. consider me a kid.
  4. This has to be a joke. If not, what a world we live in?
  5. Family’s lake house on Travis - two days ago vs today. Still a few feet from entering grade level garage.
  6. The lawyer's name sounds like one of those made up names your brain would try to invent if you had to make up a name on the spot. .... Mong ... Mongel ... Mongel- J - Uzzi Robert J. Mongeluzzi!
  7. Just get multiple bids and compare them side by side. I went through this a year ago and it reminded me of the typical sleazy used car salesman experience. Do a little research on equipment manufactures, warranty, installer reputation and then make a choice.
  8. Here is a article about the restaurant (old yacht Harbor Marina - now Sail-n-Ski) They built the kitchen in sections on trailers so that they could be yanked out in a flood like this. https://communityimpact.com/austin/weather/2018/10/17/lake-travis-restaurant-7-feet-underwater-owner-prepared-flooding-was-inevitable/ My wife's family lake house will be flooded today. At least the first level garage and 'basement' areas. They recently put it on the market and it's completely empty so the timing couldn't be more perfect if you are to look at it as a glass half full event. On the other hand, my BIL and I spent several hours last night helping an elderly lake neighbor move his tools and shop equipment into storage. We only put a dent in it. He's going to lose a lot. He has a 1950's jeep restoration project that will be completely submerged. We offered to help try and get it to higher ground but he wanted to concentrate on his shop. Sad.
  9. Sundance’s Grill at Sail N Ski marina Lakeway.
  10. I bought a boat that was being stored at Wirtz. I moved it to Travis and called it the "Wirtz Dam Boat". It had a big black Johnson.
  11. RIP Sears Barton Creek Mall. Now I don't know where to park on my yearly trek to the shopping mall to buy my Yankee candle.
  12. Llanosunami 2018 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. In the cloud now.
  14. Before anyone takes possession of the uniform, check the lining for dead Nazi gold.
  15. I spent a year as a kid living next door to the base commanders house. Is that little marina still down the road? Bet it’s not anymore. Glad you’re okay.
  16. This sounds like a job for Nacho Urias: The Waxahachie,TX Wild Thing Playboy Party Animal
  17. I'm guessing all wifi enabled t-stats will communicate the inside temp in real time to a connected phone. Chewbacca is asking if they can send you an alert or alarm if the temp drops below a certain threshold.
  18. OP should change thread title to "Ask me a couple of things about agriculture"
