    Awesome! I found one more quart jar at the back of the extra fridge last week, we downed it last night. It's so good.

    Italian wedding soup yesterday, chili today, homemade chicken and dumplings tomorrow. Oh and Italian beef for lunch today. We're eating through the cold.

    Only paystubs can settle the issue. Or cellphone flopout.

    I have another 57 bottles of red wine and plenty of bourbon. I will survive!

    If you'd said "power failure" you'd be right. That's not what you said. Again, I get the frustration, but if we assign every power failure to the power grid, we're failing to blame the local assholes that caused the last one.

    I don't think it's pedantic to make a distinction between widespread grid failures like we saw in 2021, and localized power failures due to local utility company dipshittery like we saw in 2023. Both are frustrating but if we treat them the same then we're failing to hold the right people accountable for each fuckup. Anyway, I'm team "66 on the thermostat" and team "wrap no drip." Worked fine for me during both 2021 and 2023 so that's where I'll land this go-round as well.

    It's nothing new. I've lived in Austin my entire life and idiots have panic-bought before the first cold blue norther every single winter I've been here.

    Goodbye, and good luck.

    Sure, but also, imagine that the coach has a super-talented QB that makes him look really great. I'm sure Texas never did that.

    Man I haven't seen a picture of Joe Rogan in years. Did that dude eat Joe Rogan?

    Yeah I have two 3500s that I use for my RV, and one 2200 that we used to use to run the tailgate party. They're all powerful enough to run a space heater and a couple of room lights, and charge devices. The 3500s will also run a refrigerator for you at the same time if you so desire (last time everyone I know just put their food outside or in the garage to keep it cold...)

    All I've ever done with mine, is open the drain plug on the water heater, open all low points for hot, cold, and freshwater tank, open all faucets, and then drive it from my house to the storage lot (a couple of miles) to let all the water slosh around and drain out. I have friends who will also blow it out and use antifreeze in the water heater, but I've never found that necessary. It's survived both the Icepocalypse and the Snowpocalypse of 2021 and 2023, so I guess that's enough. *Note-- I did lose the kitchen sink faucet a year or two before the first big freeze, when I failed to open it all the way and it must have had a little water inside that froze and cracked the cartridge. I haven't made that mistake again.

    I find him likeable but he's kind of a clown. Still, I'm not confident he was ever given proper resources and backing to do anything other than be UNsuccessful at Haas. Maybe some if it is his fault, but it's tough to fault the architect of a crumbling home, when the homeowner has forced him to build it on top of an active fault line.

    Spent an hour this morning ensuring all 3 of my generators are functioning properly. We've been lucky enough to retain power and water at our house over both of the past 2 big events, but most of the rest of my family in town, not so much. Last time, I spent a half-day distributing generators and firewood to all of my less fortunate family and friends. I don't really expect this time to be a similar event, but ya never know.

    I think spring semester of 1990 might have been the inauguration of Tex. I started in Fall 1990 and Tex is all I ever used.

    Pure silliness. I wasn't scared of Texas facing off against Alabama over the next few years when they were featuring the greatest college football coach of all time, so I'm certainly not scared of facing off against Alabama with someone who's not the greatest college football coach of all time. If it ends up being him, DeBoer is going to face all of the exact same disadvantages at Alabama vis a vis Texas and other NIL powers that Saban was facing, the same disadvantages that helped Saban to make the decision to quit now, and he'll do it without the advantage of having a consolidated power base backing him, the way Saban did after building the program for so many years. He'll be following not only a legend but the GOAT and that's the kind of pressure that can bend and break the best of coaches. Some folks around here need to get a grip.

    I went by the place in Houston where Champ was cooking, twice. The Q was excellent and he was very kind, both times. I never went into business with him, so can't comment on any of that.

    Major Applewhite's already been a coach at Alabama, and he's currently already coaching in that same state. Seems like a slam dunk hire to me.
