  1. I expect the shift back to high end luxury only will work - not sales volume but profitability. When money isn’t a factor the EV wins for a lot of buyers, add no threat of the brand being watered down by entry level models and I suspect the shift will work. Honestly, I probably have one absurd car purchase in me before I retire and I’d consider the coupe as it’s rendered, it’s fucking sexy as hell. Will I buy it? Probably not but before I saw it jaguar wasn’t even close to on a wish list. For those with cash to burn, I bet the brand will reemerge on their list. And that’s their underlying goal.
  2. Good dude, helped me out in real life. Fight my man.
  3. Acoustic without an amp plug… 😕
  4. Reports still coming back good, weather is nice, shrimp everywhere getting blown into pools for the reds to feast, pods everywhere in the right places. We go back down December 5th and 6th and to put our fifth wheel down there semi permanently and I can’t wait to get my fly lines wet again. Shit this time of year I swear I could do nothing but fish every day. im also getting to a place where fishing all day Saturday then coming back to camp (rv park) to watch Saturday night Texas football on the big screen tv on the outdoor porch set up with the sea breeze coming thru might be the perfect day imagined.
  5. There’s research to support adult learning is best done in 5-15 minute spurts with more sessions that are super short. I still have my guitar but man it’s hard to put 15 mins into the rotation daily. Plus my fam has little tolerance for me strumming along to my favorite songs squawking like a frantic chicken ans strumming like an arrhythmic heart beat. Just makes them worry that I’m not ok.

    RIP Toni Price

    Damn we were talking about going to see her play again just the other day. Came here to post. I revived her Midnight Pumpkin album about a month ago into the current music rotation at our house. She was really really good and to me the epitome of Austin music before it went corporate and national. I remember taking out of town guests to the Continental club and them always responding with “wow she’s amazing…” back then it seemed our best artists never really broke through but we’re still just fucking great. Hey day of Guy Forsyth, Toni, Bob Schneider, come to mind. Like the best kept secrets.
  7. To be fair my first house was 70k / 5k down, 1600 sq ft in 78704. Bought it one year after undergrad, one year after being married. That house is now easily worth $600k maybe more and 4 flips later we live in an house that seems completely unobtainable because we caught one of the greatest rises in home equity ever. Under no circumstances was living in Elgin for a starter home an option or a forced decision. So while they are dumb it’s true even entry level housing that is desirable is somewhat out of reach.
  8. Restaurant breakfast talk makes me want blueberry pancakes, maybe just buttermilk. But I definitely want pancakes.

    White Tennies

    I rock these like a snobby tennis bitch, actually more like a quiet, sweet and humble tennis enthusiast but that doesn’t sound as good. dudes can pull this look off just as well.
  10. UK ain’t gonna do shit. He should play well on the road next week but that game will be worth the testicle clutching. Not today.
  11. I’m tired and can’t think … who was the last pure scoring guard with tre’s level of confidence and talent, that guard you give the ball to at the end of the game and know you’re gonna get a decent look. Kids got a lot to learn but damn he’s super talented.
  12. Whole team has gone up a level. Tre has been clutch city.
  13. That looked like running an offense against that 1-3-1!?
  14. Shedrick gets punked then misses a finesse put back that should be a power dunk. These little 4,5 point swings are just maddening.
  15. Jack a 3 and NO ONE gets in position to grab the rebound. Wtf!?
  16. Right so what we are watching is not the latter it’s the former. Just chaotic trash ball. Plenty of talent and frankly if they ran the offense maybe tre wouldn’t one on one his way to a shitty shot time he gets the ball.
  17. I described it as the shitty coachless summer league teams. Just jacking shots and fucking around on defense.
  18. Oof, Tennessee is up 27 on Baylor at the half. 47 - 20.
