  1. has anyone confirmed the horn's death on air?
  2. In high school a buddy of mine was cleaning fish on the back of a commercial deep sea fishing boat when a big wave snuck up on him and threw him out of the boat. The crew was always playing jokes / hiding from each other to avoid work on the way back in and no one thought anything of his absence. They got back to the dock and realized he wasn't on the boat. They alerted the coastguard and other boats in the area (they run similar routes) and another boat came across him on the way back in and grabbed him just before sundown. He said he'd never forget the boat disappearing over the horizon as he just floated in the open ocean. He said he had a talk with himself and thought he could either panic and be fucked or relax and wait/hope that someone came along and saw him. He took off his Tevas, velcro'd them together and put them behind his neck to help floating. He stayed as calm / still as possible and just floated. He lost track of time and said he could have been there for 30 minutes or 3 hours before the boat came by and grabbed him.
  3. I went last night and was shocked at how shitty all of the WVU pitchers were -- all mid to low 80's, shitty control, no movement. We had a ton of good swings and were just sitting on pitches. Scored a lot but could have scored a lot more early. Their hitters looked like shit (but for the lefty hitting nearly 500) too. Can't believe they've done as well as they have.
  4. Yeah Jeff and Ed have quite a bit of nostalgia for me and I like that. I really like Babers but Hardge is just so so bad. He seems like a nice guy but just consistently awful takes. And listening to him struggle through trying to read ads is brutal.
  5. Trying to buy a parking pass and it says none available they sell out parking ?
  6. Yes I think rod knows how bad Hardball is and it’s awkward for him bc they’re friends and he’s a nice guy. I do like the third guy on their show. Chads occasionally tolerable in very small doses when he’s talking sports (as opposed to today when him and zay went through that top 20 hip hop artist list TWICE and then a third time when that mouthbreather that does the show with way called in) but listening to a whole show is torture. He absolutely loses his shit after every single break when he tries to guess the tune. It’s exhausting.
  7. Road trip the past two days listening to horn app and holy fucking shit Chad and his sidekick are bad. Jesus. I want to like rods side kick but he’s fucking horrible too. So so bad. I do think rods very good but that other dude can barely fucking talk and his takes are just objectively wrong.
  8. At least I’m young and got my health.
  9. And yes I got off of 10 and drove around a bit bf heading to mansurs. Plaintiffs firms and poverty abound.
  10. I am here now and it’s very good so far. Chargrilled oysters are great.
  11. In town for a few days and would like to have a really good couple of meals. Any suggestions?
  12. My parents are off of Spicewood Springs and their power just came back on.
  13. Back on and off as of 11 last night and back on for good since about 6 this morning in 03. Across the street to the south and next several blocks south still out.
  14. I’m a block or 2 away. They were all over the place and one of them told me it was about to happen. It did for about 2 minutes and now 3 hours later here we are in the dark. Fuck everything.
  15. Abbot’s was in corpus spewing voucher bullshit while this was happening. He thinks it’s funny.
  16. After zero activity all week finally a bunch of trucks in my hood 03. One of the guys told me it’s imminent but my hope is fading as that was 2 hours ago. These workers are being greeted like nazi occupied France liberators.
  17. we're in 03 and same experience. dark quiet eery ghost town with only light being gas lit porch lights. zero crews or activity and still no fucking power. we're getting out of town for the weekend if not back on by late afternoon. fucking sucks.
  18. was going to post this. I love Coach Harmon. He hates the fucking aggies. nothing better back in the day than going to college station and having all of those hayseed fucks lined up on both sides of the bus when you walk into the stadium yelling the most horrible shit as us and then shutting them the fuck up and smiling at them on the walk out.
  19. Mine 9 yr old boy is super mad at it and I need some 410 shells for a late season dove hunt. I’ve never ordered shells online - 1 can you? 2 do you know a good website? Austin area stores I’ve called don’t have any and I’m assuming it’s that way everywhere this time of year but would love to be wrong if anyone knows. Thank you
  20. I was very fortunate to play for him. I wasn’t very good and didn’t play very much but the opportunity Coach Gus gave to me changed my life. I owe him so much. RIP Coach. Thank you for everything!!
  21. I tore my plantar fascia playing tennis about a year ago. I was at the baseline and started to sprint forward to get to a drop shot and, as I pressed with the ball of my foot to move forward I heard and felt a loud pop. It was like someone shot me it hurt so fucking bad. I had to hop off the court and for several days I couldn't put any pressure on it at all. After 5 or so days I was able to lose the crutches but was in a boot for 6 or 7 weeks. Lots of stretching and physical therapy and it got better slowly over the next few months. I'd say I was close to 100% by about month 6. It's been really hard to trust my foot and really move at 100% but I'm pretty much there. My pt took molds of my feet and I got some custom made full length arch supports. I wear those now and they seem to really help. Long story short -- stretches like those above and find someone to get really good arch supports custom made.
  22. My mechanic is telling me bad luck -- basically it's rare but sometimes they shit the bed. I talked to GM warranty people and a few service managers here in Austin and they're telling me that, even though it's out of warranty GM will likely cover at least 20% of the repair cost if I get it done at the dealer. As to selling / trading in now or getting fixed first the service managers I spoke with are telling me it's likely a wash.
  23. Question for the group -- I have a 2018 suburban with 75K miles that I love and has been great. I just found out the transmission is shot and has to be replaced. I've been looking at new suburbans and was thinking about trading in anyway. Does it make more sense to pay to have the transmission replaced then trade in or trade in as is?
  24. Got it. Appreciate the response. We’re kind of up in the air but might head that way as we enjoy sf regardless. Will report back if we make it to the mountain.
