  1. Even if they are mapped out correctly, construction crews in my experience are careless where they dig. I had the same company cut a line in 3 different times that was perfectly marked on paper and at the site. Still cut the damn thing 3 times.
  2. Yep and moving kids out of dorms as well... The university is requiring students to move home from their residence halls, though emergency housing will be available on a case-by-case basis to students who have compelling reasons to remain on campus, or who do not have other living arrangements. We will provide details for how to apply for emergency campus housing in the upcoming days. Residents who are currently on campus can begin to move out immediately. Students who are not currently on campus will need to sign up for a time to move out via the University Housing and Dining website starting on Monday, March 23. The university will also offer pro-rated refunds on housing and dining contracts and coordinate those decisions with financial aid packages. Recreational Sports and University Unions facilities are closed until further notice.
  3. Cueros on sale for $99 with free shipping
  4. I have been on the edge about getting one for years. Finally did when the great TP rush of 2020 happened.
  5. Anything over 2500(no idea why that number is chosen). They stated in the article that events can ask for an exemption, but no idea what that means.
  6. https://www.kxan.com/news/coronavirus/large-gatherings-banned-in-austin-through-may-1-city-says/ Large gatherings in Austin shut down. 2500+
  7. Same thing here, wife ordered something for a Xmas present in late November not knowing it was from China and it arrived yesterday.
  8. This boot guy of yours must be amazing, I just stopped driving a manual about 4 years ago. I was conscious about it today and did notice that my heel was planted and I just rotated. I tried it the other way and it was uncomfortable as hell. Now I am going to have to have some "driving" shoes.
  9. I noticed this on my calfskin boots. Was trying to figure out why this was happening on them and this makes a lot of sense.
  10. Yep, my son had the same joke for me about a year ago, might have even posted it here. I laughed and said good one. Then he promptly turned to his mom when she came into the room and told it again. She was not amused.
  11. Just inherited a grandfather clock myself that was brought back from Germany in the 60s. I have no idea how old it is and it’s not working right now. I have fond memories of my grandfather showing me how it worked when I was a kid. I need to find a place that restores them, but from reviews I read online most people who restore them are hit or miss.
  12. The Dripping location was terrible. The only reason they stayed open so long was because it was one of the only options out there. When all the restaurants started to open across the street they were done. They closed down almost a year to the day that Hat Creek opened up. After Hat Creek opened up another 5 or 6 were open within a few months and Trudy's was a ghost town. I thought I remember seeing that they were trying to sell that property for 8 million, its still for sale a year after it closed.
  13. I’m just east of Dripping and no hail here yet.
  14. There was an article about this after it happened. HEB left trailers full of food in strategic locations and flew in drivers via helicopters to get food to the people quicker. The had a contingency plan for natural disaster scenarios and executed it perfectly. They opened stores within a day or so and had workers brought in from other stores. Quality company that cares about its employees and customers.
  15. I agree. I put it right behind V and IV as the 3rd best in the franchise.
  16. It’s all my 13 year old boy talked about for months. He’s really involved in the schools theater program, so that may be part of why he knows about it. We are going in December when it’s in town. Sounds like there is some mature content, so we are not taking our 10 year old. My 13 yr old probably could have handled it at 10, but no way my 10 year old could now.
  17. Just went through the song and dance. Best I could do was $40 for 6 months and streaming for 2 cars so $80 total. This was at the "cancel" representative. 5 months for $25 seems to be gone now.
