  1. Looks like I'm finally going to have to break down and get a new (or used) vehicle. I'm looking at suburbans or tahoes and need advice on: (1) best time to buy new -- looks like Covert and other area dealerships have some pretty good deals on 2018's -- is now the time to buy or will those prices continue go down as we get closer to the new year? (2) are dealers less likely to come down on listed pricing since these 2018's are already discounted and pitched as year end deals? (3) does it make more sense to buy used if my used criteria would be something less than 40 or 50K miles? I'm traditionally opposed to the idea of buying new but maybe it makes sense if all of the 'gently used' options are only a few thousand less than the new 2018's? For what it's worth, I plan on driving whatever I get for at least a decade or so and don't put many miles on my vehicles (I currently have a 2002 Chevy crew cab with only 140K miles). Any help is appreciated.
  2. Answered my own question - sitting at the bar at Revolution.
  3. In town for just a night solo. Revolution or mr bs for dinner?
  4. Is Johnny Miller in love with Keegan Bradley? Did he start crying when they were talking about it at the end of the broadcast?
  5. this is exactly what I'm looking for -- easy grilling during the week. reviews look great. thanks!
  6. Best fire starter to use with a large egg?
  7. There was a Giovanni's in the Brazos mall in lake Jackson when I was growing up. It was mall pizza but it was awesome - much better than the standard food court stuff. At least that's how I remember it. I always assumed it was a chain but I've searched and searched on the Internet and can't find any mention of it. My search is complicated by the fact that Giovanni's is probably the most common name for a pizza place.
  8. Torrey update: couldn't get through to reservation line so went out cold. Got off to a bit of a slow start today and didn't get there until 8:00 or so. Put my name on the list and got called 10 minutes later. Me and 2 other singles on the south course. Weather was perfect. It was awesome. Hit it pretty good for me. Other 2 guys were about my level and age. Quick round done by 1 or so. Great day!
  9. That's what I'm going to do. Is it best to walk the course? Thanks, Dad!
  10. Trotter did mine at Midtown Urology on 35th and Lamar. He's an Austin guy early 40's or so -- you probably have some mutual friends if you've been around town for a while. very easy both procedure and recovery. a little strange having a friend of a bunch of guys you know do it but he's very professional and made it a nonevent.
  11. So out of the blue I'm going to have a free day all to myself this Saturday in San Diego. I have a wife, young kids, and work a lot so this is extremely rare. I went to the website and it looks like Torrey is all booked up. Anyone have any idea if there's a chance I could get on as a single if I show up early Saturday morning and am willing to wait? If not, any other courses out there you all would recommend? My back up plan is to go surfing and I'm fine with that too but I'd love to play somewhere cool if I can.
  12. Matt's is one of those places that has a few couple of good dishes hidden in a menu of mediocrity. The shrimp a la Matt is a surprisingly great dish. The more standard texmex fare kind of sucks.
  13. Anyone have any experience with these? https://seaholmautomatic.com I had a sub for years but it was stolen. I was planning on picking another one up but saw these and think I might like them even more -- the diver with the blue bezel in particular.
  14. love the show and loving this season in particular but Stan's girlfriend's "i wanna be an FBI agent" was nonsensical. it reminded me of George telling Jerry he wanted to get into broadcasting.
  15. Are you in Austin? What area?
