  1. I took the advice of the board and bought a hard to find Benelli off gunbroker. Process was super easy but now I get 10 emails a day from GB. A few days ago they emailed about a triple barrel shotgun. It looks pretty gimmicky (and I imagine heavy as shit). I'm not interested in one but was wondering if anyone had one / had every come across one / had any thoughts on them?
  2. There have been several in our Austin neighborhood the past couple of weeks. They got my neighbor last night. Two weird things -- (1) the just rifled through everything in the car and made a mess but didn't take anything (golf clubs and other sports equipment in the back) none of the incidents I've heard about (about a dozen) resulted in anything being taken and (2) car was locked, no alarm went off, and this morning all doors / windows were closed and doors were locked. I guess thiefs have a slim jim or other locksmith tool or a cloned fob that gets them in w/out tripping alarm?
  3. Driving on 29th toward guad and there is an absolute shit ton of black smoke coming from somewhere close straight ahead. Any idea what it is? I can’t find anything on internet. Hopefully not crown n anchor
  4. I figured this thread might be the best place to ask this. My mother was running an errand this morning and the car started driving funny and the low air tire light came on. She drove to discount and they told her she had a nail in one of the front tires and that she also had a nail in each of the back tires. They said they were all placed perfectly in the middle of the tire were the same kind of mail and then it looked intentional. She drove all around Austin on Thursday parked her car in her driveway Thursday night and didn’t drive it at all on Friday. The Aaron this morning was the first time she had driven the car Since Thursday. My question for you Car guys is is there a chance that the nails could’ve been put in her tires on Thursday while she was out and about or is it more likely that they were done while it was parked in her driveway sometime between now and Thursday Maybe there’s no way to answer that question. I am just trying to figure out if some random person got mad at her while she was driving around town on Thursday or if some asshole did this to her car while it sat in her driveway.
  5. Ha. My son has been on my ass to get this ordered and if I have to tell him a man from the Texas website I frequent got it first he's gonna shit. But all good -- I think there are at least two of them on there.
  6. Great. Thank you for your help and sorry I missed a digit.
  7. HC is looking into it for me and I appreciate his help very much. In the meantime, can you educated me on gunbroker? Can I just go on the website, register, and have the gun shipped to my house? Are there any background check kind of things and, if so, do I just go through that process with the seller?
  8. PM sent. Thank you
  9. I’m looking for a specific model of benelli super black eagle that no one seems to have in stock. I don’t think benelli lets you order straight from manufacturer. Does anyone know a good way to get a particular model shotgun that most stores done carry? Thank you!
  10. We went right after he bought it and it was the same but he just might not have had time to fuck it up at that point.
  11. Keens is our go to for steak house
  12. Buddy of mine lives in the neighborhood said they got the all clear so he rode bikes with his kid to Barton Hills Elementary and later found out they rode right past the suspect dude was just casually walking down Barton Hills Dr. so the all clear was a fuck up. Also said the perp broke into a house on one of the side streets and the homeowner shot the dude.
  13. Too hot now but for later season oot games butler pitch and put is fun place to watch a game.
  14. just got a last minute invite so headed up there tomorrow heading back right after the game. We have never been to Columbus. i'm sure it's been discussed but I don't have time to comb through the thread -- i'm sure all of the restaurants will be slammed but it'll only be two of us for dinner tomorrow night and we don't mind sitting at the bar / waiting for a table. Questions -- (1) what are the best steakhouses in Columbus (I see Jeff Ruby's and Butcher & Rose that both look ok); (2) what about other good places to eat; (3) are any of the steakhouses / good places to eat in an area that would be fun to walk around?; (4) is there a fun place to walk around and pop in for a drink/beer where our old asses won't get assaulted? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
  15. The Statesman has started a cool series on old Austin landmarks. A retired city planner has written something like 600 short history articles on different Austin landmarks and they're putting out 2 or 3 at a time on the website. Recent topics include the building Clay Pit is in, Peter Pan, Sandy's, and the old general store at NW corner of 6th and Congress.
  16. Bentonville is like the town in Truman Show. Picture perfect downtown with good restaurants and nice stores, perfectly clean and laid out, etc. 21c is a cool hotel and Crystal Bridges and the outdoor activities make it worth a visit. They had a really cool music festival there in a field outside of town for a few years but i think it died around Covid times.
  17. Agreed on getting there early. Also, there's a real time camera of the tee box and picnic table area on the website so you can get an idea of how stacked up it is.
  18. Little deli is awesome. The pizzas are fine and the sandwiches and desserts are great. That little shopping center is like going back in time. It reminds me of dazed and confused.
  19. 107 yards pitching wedge. Perfect ball flight slight fade bounced twice rolled about 2 feet and in.
  20. Played 18 with my 12-year-old yesterday and he hit a damn hole in one. I’ve been playing my whole life and still don’t have one.
  21. I loved the original but this might be the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Horrible. Jesus Christ
  22. quick update -- The Fenway tour was great and definitely worth your time. The Country Club was amazing and as Ron noted, we had perfect weather. Really cool holes with a lot of undulation and elevated greens and tee boxes on a beautiful piece of property. Most probably know this (I didn't) but they have 3 nines and the format they have for the open and other big tournaments is an 18 hole combination of the 3 nines (something like 1-3 on one nine, 5-6 on another, then back, then to the third nine etc.). The day we played was the open set up (which the members tell me is pretty rare) so that was really cool. Clubhouse and everything else is really something else. We had caddies which is definitely out of the ordinary for me and really cool. Ballgame was a lot of fun but for the final score. We were a few rows behind the Stros dugout and my 12 year old was trying to get Framber and some other guys to throw him a ball all night. A few kids around him got one but he did not. Late in the game the Sox had a guy on third with less than two outs -- fly ball to left, runner tags and scores easy, LF throws the ball to Correa. Dead ball at that point so Correa looks at the Stros fans behind the dugout. I'm raising my hands pointing at my boy next to me. Correa and I make eye contact, he nods at me and throws me the ball. I reach up and catch it one handed and hand it to my boy and the crowd around us goes wild. It was so great.
  23. We’re booked for tour first thing am tomorrow. Fenway tour then playing the country club with a friend then Sox Astros. Pretty Good Friday.
  24. In Boston going to game tomorrow night. Hopefully Carlos will be there! My boy is pissed he brought his Pena jersey and left Carlos at home.
