  1. 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
  2. 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!!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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?
  6. 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.
  7. Are you not going to SF bc of lack of snow? We were thinking about driving over next week but I just looked and it says 20 inch base / 5 of 7 lifts open / but only 21 of 88 trails open. We have a 9 and 11 year old and pretty modest ski needs but is it not worth it based on these figures?
  8. Any recs bw trek cannondale or woom for a 12 yr old girl to ride around the neighborhood and maybe some light trail riding?
  9. Are you me? I miss Cafe Laredo!
  10. about a 30 minute wait at city hall downtown Austin just now but line about twice as long as when i went it. based on my bias of likely traits of both sides i'd say almost everyone there going with the D.
  11. holy shit Smoltz is horrible. his takes suck but my main issue is that he won't shut the fuck up. it's like someone at Fox told him he wasn't talking enough. i understand the WS merits more commentary than a midseason game but jesus christ. had to turn the fucking sound off.
  12. headed to the Format Festival in Bentonville this weekend. it's described as a multidisciplinary experience unifying over eighty live music acts with two dozen visual, performance, and institutional artists from around the world. looking forward to Phoenix and Flaming Lips. i think we'll miss Kruangbhin as they come on late Sunday but we've seen them a lot lately. also curious / excited to see Kingfish Ingram.
  13. Best gameday scene I’ve seen at DKR in a long long time. We were in a friend’s seats 4 rows up on east side on about north 35 yl and it was intense. Hot as fuck but no one sat down the whole game and everyone really into it. Fucking refs and fucking dirty cheating bama. Can’t believe they hurt our qb again.
  14. Billy Strings was great too. EmmyLou talked about her rescue dogs the whole time and even sang a song about one.
  15. park in the garage across from clay pit and pedicab to DKR and back
  16. Went to beach road weekend in martha's vineyard last weekend and had a great time -- Beck, Wilco, Isbell, Khruangbin, Caamp, Lettuce, Emylou, Billy Stings. Loved that it was over at 8 each night -- let us get back to the house and have a few more beers but still get to bed relatively early. Beck killed it. Hadn't seen Wilco in a long time and could not believe how fat Jeff Tweedy has gotten -- sounded pretty good, though.
  17. Any suggestions for a shop in Austin that will (1) service a late 90's era submariner (it runs when you pick it up and start moving it but the dial won't turn the hands to set it) and (2) replace the face (i guess that's the crystal?) on a vintage (60s i think) Air-King (cracked when it got dropped on a hard floor). thank you
  18. Finally heading home from a great trip and loved all of our stops (especially all of the small towns way south in the heel of the boot) but I think Rome is my favorite.
  19. in puglia now and had the absolute best pizza we've ever had at a place called borgo egnazia close to fasano. we've also really enjoyed the little towns in the area. Ostuni and Lecce have been two of our favorites.
  20. We were there last week. Great place. Kids loved going back and forth from pool to lake. Fun little town to walk around. High dive into the lake blew kids’ minds.
  21. What’s going on? I’m over here now and haven’t noticed anything different. Hopefully stays that way til we head back to Rome and fly out next week.
  22. We did Austin to dc to Frankfurt to Milan then driver to como driver to ballagio driver to Venice train to Rome rented a car and got to puglia 3 days ago. Me wife and 2 kids. Lufthansa lost all of our luggage. Wife and kids got theirs in Venice but they fucking sent mine to the wrong place. It got to Venice the day after we left. I’m still waiting for it in puglia. I’m big and fat and have had hell finding any clothes that fit. Great trip but sucks dick not having any of my shit. I fucking hate Lufthansa and their baggage delivery company more.
  23. one more question -- we're talking about driving up Saturday and staying somewhere Saturday night. any suggestions on somewhere fun to spend the night bw here and there? we'll have a 8 and 10 year old with us so things like the worlds largest ball of twine or (second) biggest hole are in our wheelhouse.
  24. I'm sure it's been covered but a couple of quick questions for anyone that can help. We're talking about trying to go to the Sunday night game if everything goes our way. We haven't made any plans but are fine with driving. What are the chances of getting tickets and a place to stay? What is the best way to get tickets?
