  1. Yeah. That’s why ascent is getting my attention. Tops in mid size suv looks good on cr
  2. Our current cars are the accord and the caravan. When we went camping with the boys I had to use the caravan and it was stuffed. The Honda is what I got because I commute. 30mpg. It drives great but the room is limited and sitting three across in the back seat is getting annoying because the kids pester each other. The dodge seats well but isn’t enjoyable to drive. No oomph on the toll way and noisy. 20mpg on a good day. She’s getting rid of the van and will likely get an explorer. I’m thinking about doing the same. Sound excessive I know. But I’m more open to something that’s more commuter friendly but also good for the other stuff so I don’t have to use her car.
  3. We have had a minivan for 7 years. Dodge caravan. We are selling it now. I appreciate the space and the sliding doors. I hate everything else. The acoustics suck and the phone connection is awful. And It drives like a van. I considered a Honda or Toyota but came to the conclusion that I just don’t like minivans. I have spent the last few hours looking online at the highlander. It’s an option. I’ll check them out on Tuesday.
  4. I commute from Pflugerville to near downtown Austin daily. I currently have a Honda Accord but I also have three kids that are growing. What’s the best balance of space and daily driver? I had an F150 crew cab but I felt like was wearing it out driving it like a car on mopac at 18,000 miles a year. I’m thinking Ford Explorer. I have considered a 4Runner but the interior seems smaller than the explorer. I considered Subaru’s Ascent as it drives like a car and gets better mileage than the two above. What say the shag.
  5. JPP says the fentanyl comes in handy after the fireworks.
  6. I was eating lunch with my wife’s family when her aunt instructed the uncle to put the cat out into the “catio”. For the uninitiated it is a screened in area with structures for her many cats. I almost stopped eating my blue bell.

    Shit My Kid Says

    When the alarms went off, I didn’t immediately get out of bed. My kids were freaking out. My kid says to me “ the next time the alarm goes off and you don’t hear it, should I wake you up?” Yes. Yes please?

    Just wrapping up a 3 days stay at Great Wolf lodge in Grapevine. For the second time in two years the week of July 4th, we were awoken at 3 am to the fire alarm. Smoke somewhere. This time it was accompanied by electricity outage in a huge chunk of the property including our room. Several engines responded. The electricity remained out until 6pm the next day. We got a phone call from the manager that our two nights were going to be refunded.
  9. Those damn gideons
  10. Get off your knees and quit blowing the game!!

    I have a Johnny cash in the making.
  12. Never stop shooting if the ball is going in. Ride a streak until it breaks.
  13. Recover efforts will resume tomorrow
  14. We caught 4 inch perch. There is a lot of plants along the shore making it hard to fish from without getting caught up. Small ones. Really small.
  15. Beuscher today. Already caught some perch. That’s more than I’ve caught in 5 years of not fishing. It’s hot. The park is small but some good basic features. And it’s an hour from home.
  16. It was a million to one shot Jerry
  17. Yeah. I see where you are coming from but definitely a narrow view. I think of crack cocaine and grunge music. Not exactly Disney. As for military, I remember that we were always intervening somewhere. Libya, Panama, operation desert storm, Bosnia, Mogadishu. It felt like we were team America world police and someone was always taking pot shots.
  18. I work on a computer that I have to log into. The computer locks if I am inactive for 10 minutes for security reasons (healthcare data, HIPAA). 1) I have to log into at least three different applications that I use for tasks all day using the same login and password I use to log into the computer. 2) each application will log me out if I do not interact with that application within 10 minutes Logic tells me, both 1) and 2) are unnecessary. I should be able to use my login credentials once and have access to all applications. If the screen doesn’t lock, I’m still there and will likely need all applications at some point. Fucking waste of time with zero added security.
  19. Ok. With the war over and the queen dead, why don’t the Dothraki and unsullied just go home before getting justice? They weren’t from around kings landing, nobody killed the queen and claimed control. There isn’t anyone to direct them beyond the seven kingdoms. Jobs done. Enjoy peace. They fought for the queen. She gone. It’s not fair? Fuck you. It’s war. Nothing has been fair. Go home.
  20. I head to Vipon. I Get discounted cheapos. I buy a couple at a time. I can buy a dozen for the price of Bose or beats. When the batteries wear out (and the batteries do wear out) or the ear wax starts to build up I toss them. Either that or I lose them and I don’t kick myself because they were $20 not $200
  21. When Jon looked back, I felt like the thought ballon should have appeared that said “why are we closing a gate? There’s a huge fucking hole 100 yards to the left”.

    Sub means under water Toot means fart Substitute is an underwater fart.
  23. Man. 2019 was not good. Understatement I know. The baseball season is the only reason I keep LHN and I maybe watched 5 games after conference play started. I hope the team gets focused and some help in all areas.
