Track & Field
Threw on some track event, as I often do if I happen to see it is on. The current world's fastest man, Noah Lyles, was on a transport golf cart that t-boned another cart on the way into the stadium. Fortunately, all the runners are on the track, but threw off the order of heats.

My app saying high of 95 and 97 for next Tuesday and Wednesday, and more importantly, a low of 71. Time to start prepping the fireplace!

This would be funny if it was some fringe party that had no chance of gaining any power.

Selling jewelry
We inherited some I believe fairly high-quality jewelry that my wife isn't interested in holding onto. Anyone have experience or recommendations on where to go to sell fine jewelery, and if you'd recommend getting it appraised first?

We're at 97 in Round Rock right now. Is the concrete effect at Camp Mabry going to keep the streak alive?

No better way to start the day than a super refreshing 8 AM, 87 degree dog walk.- Birding
I escaped from hell last week to visit family in Colorado. I mostly savored the cool weather and fantastic scenery, but I always squeeze in some birding when I leave town.This trip was highlighted by a brief walk through Garden of the Gods. Dozens of white-throated swifts poured out from the cliffs while a pair of juvenile prairie falcons peered down from the top of the red rocks (Lifer #523!). If this heat will ever abate, fall migration is picking up around Austin. I just can't handle it after 9 am, and it's not even particularly pleasant before then either.- Blastfurnace 2023
My weather app finally gave in and bumped the predicted high for Tuesday back into the triple digits. Cool...- The Climate thread
We can dream of tech-ing our way out of this problem, but using less is really the solution. And you can see how that is going.- Blastfurnace 2023
Just got back from a week in Colorado. I don't know why I came back. The wife and I had our first serious discussions of moving back there, where she is from, in the next several years. It will take zero convincing for me to take that leap.- Surly official camping and backpacking thread
Not camping, but the hikes around Crested Butte (even with a psychotic baby in tow) are great. Especially nice to have a beer on the balcony in 60 degree weather as the sun goes down.- Texas Recruiting Notes 2024: Bags Don't Beat Bankrolls
Simbakubwa kutokaafrika was the largest cat to ever exist, at an estimated size of 2,000-3,000 pounds.- Blastfurnace 2023
The pool at RRHS was shockingly still somewhat refreshing this weekend. If I didn't have vacation to look forward to next week, I would be losing my mind. Pretty sure I've never spent so much time cooped up in my house. I was an "essential worker" at the time, but don't know how those of you locked down during Covid did it.- Surly Dad Thread
That's a big dude! My 14 month-old has seemed on the verge of walking, clearly saying his first word and popping a tooth for months. Outside of maaaaybe saying Dada, he still hasn't reached those milestones. Probably doesn't help that he has been sick 3 times since his birthday and we quickly bailed on daycare since they were clearly understaffed for his age and sucked at communicating. Hopefully, when he restarts elsewhere in a couple months he's a walking, talking, toothed maniac instead of just a maniac.- Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty
Are we going to reach legal inception, where Trump's attorney's attorneys need attorneys?- Blastfurnace 2023
One week until I'm nestled in the cool confines of the Rocky Mountains. Never needed it more...- The Climate thread
Not that it would make any difference, but that shit should be reported in Farenheit in the US so people can better comprehend how much hotter it is actually getting.- Blastfurnace 2023
Tomorrow ties the record for consecutive 100+ days in Austin, right? Looks like we should tack on a minimum 5 more days after that. Good work, everyone. Can't wait to shatter more records in the future!- Blastfurnace 2023
Sounds exactly like something a Dick would say.- Netflix Recommendations
As I was watching, I remembered doing a pencil off the top deck of a houseboat as a kid to see how deep I could go, and immediately clawing my way to the surface before I even started to slow down.- Netflix Recommendations
The Deepest Breath doc was great. Kind of a Free Solo vibe, just going down instead of up.- Blastfurnace 2023
I guess I don't remember how miserable August was in 2021, although I do recall that second summer didn't seem to end until November. But 2021 may end up being one of the most tolerable summers for the rest of our lives.- Surly Dad Thread
Sorry man, that's rough. Well wishes sent your way. I can't imagine the frustration and sadness. I hope it works out for y'all if you choose to pursue it again. - Blastfurnace 2023
