  1. What's it like there weather-wise in late September? Looking for a trip sometime that fall. Was thinking about Tahoe, but was there in late August last year and it actually snowed and was cold all weekend.

    I agree with this (also tried it twice). There are a lot of better sandwich places in town. Not many better burger places than Jewboys Burger though.
  3. Inks is over 4' over its spillway elevation. Dam! (i.e., Damn)
  4. Inks is currently dumping 27,000 CFS into the Colorado arm. Wirtz is passing through 38,000. With the additional water coming into the Llano LBJ is either going to start filling up again or they're going to need to open more gates at Wirtz. Trust me. I'm a notary public.
  5. I'm not an engineer, but LCRA has seemed to be much more proactive the last few days on keeping the water levels in Lake LBJ a foot or so below normal. I've heard from a few friends with places on LBJ that owners were highly pissed about how the water was passed through last weekend because too little was let out timely enough resulting in several docks getting flooded and boats/jet skis floating off.
  6. 3rd floodgate just opened at Buchanan
  7. LCRA has dropped Lake LBJ over 1.5' in the last 12 hours. That's more than they dropped it on the 4th. Wonder if they are planning on starting to release water from Buchanan.
  8. Gives new meaning to six to midnight
  9. Travis went over 660' at 5:50am this morning according to the LCRA River Operations Report page. Gates are still open at Wirtz and Starke so should continue to rise. *Edit to ask: Anyone know what level sometimes islands are covered? Been so long I don't remember.
  10. We would hit up Waterloo Brewing Co. some afternoons when we were slow at work. Stars Wars Pinball and a few pints of Ed's Best Bitter. God Bless you and RIP, Steve Anderson.
  11. Chuch-e-Cheese used to sell beer too. Made the kids birthday parties much more enjoyable back in the day (way back in the day). No idea if they still do as I haven't stepped foot in one since the early aughts. But a few beers and some Stargate and Joust sounds like a really, really good time.
  12. Yeah Post-Covid it was a shell of itself. But it begat some damn good restaurants. Jack Allen's, Salt Trader, Day Maker, Odd Duck, Barley Swine, and Sour Duck. And related Turf n Surf. For those of us who arrived in Austin the 80s, ZTejas was the tits+.
  13. Pop Up Shower in the 78657 RIGHT NOW!
  14. well that was a Dolly Parton size epic bust
