  1. All of you that have not used a travel backpack, they open just like a roller bag. There is no digging around the bottom. There is no being inferior to a carryon, because they open identically to one. They also have very comfortable straps, and a robust waist belt, much like the best backpacking bags. It’s the best of both worlds. Google Osprey Farpoint. I don’t know if it’s the first, and it may no longer be the best, but it’s the standard. @Post Oak just read the reviews, they will not lead you astray. Yes I do use packing cubes with my farpoints, but I have never “loved” them. I do guess they aid in organizing, but I’m not sure they really add more space like folks claim.
  2. I have an osprey farpoint 40 and a 75. bought over a decade ago. they have taken me all over the world. if I were buying today, I’d buy a Peak Design, as I love their EDC bag. but the Farpoints just won’t give me a reason to replace them.
  3. Bought one of these years ago when a battery went dead at a trailhead in Big Bend. My jumper cables that I've had since I was 16 don't do much good when you have to wait 4 hours for another vehicle to arrive. I know it's not the issue you need to solve, but this is cheap insurance, and can charge your phone/act as flashlight in a pinch. https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GB50-UltraSafe-Lithium-Gasoline/dp/B07MVY7K43/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=1HMJK4LSF6XKE&keywords=noco+boost+xl&qid=1643726415&sprefix=noco+boost+xl%2Caps%2C92&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUE1REhPVFFHUDczQk8mZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA0NjM4ODNUUzJLTFgzVlUwR0smZW5jcnlwdGVkQWRJZD1BMDgzNTkyOThRWVVRTk5HMzVLSyZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=
  4. It's not system wide. But I have never noticed a ton of ads everywhere like you mention.
  5. I spent 4 years telling everyone we were going to give my first born a family name my wife did not like. So in the delivery room, when she once again protested the family name, I suggested Nolan, which was the real name I had always wanted. Nolan is 18 months old. long game.
  6. Pressure waves as recorded by my and my brothers weather stations in south Austin and the Heights in a Houston.
  7. We did the day hike, as my wife is not a huge backpacker. I’m super jealous of you. I’m sure you’ve seen the pics before, but that ledge looks fun. We caught some folks mid transit in the pic below. Also, very good call on skipping the swim to Honopu. The morning after we did the short hike, we did a boat tour that had to be cut short, because we had to pull a guy out of the surf attempting that swim. Needless to say, he did not make it. Not exactly the boat trip we signed up for.
  8. Not where I was expecting. Looks like a sign and filling station from my small West Texas town.
  9. If you don't mind me asking, where was this taken? Curious if this sign/station is where I think it is.
  10. what is rain?
  11. I did a brisket and pork butt on the smoker, and turkey is on now for wife’s side of the family. Head Monday to my side and am smoking red snapper, beef tenderloin, prime rib and will do a shrimp boil.
  12. In!
  13. Correct. If you are the largest enrollment in the district, you pretty much know you are D1 every year, but other than that, it completely depends on the 4 teams each year that make the playoffs.
  14. It’s exactly like that.
  15. It’s all about what teams make it from each district in the playoffs, and their enrollment numbers. Top 2 high enrollments, go D1, lower 2 go D2. Doesn’t matter the position of finish.
  16. I’m watching it on NFHS
  17. LBJ/Chappel Hill is a 7 point game. LT/NS should be kicking soon
  18. LBJ/Chappel Hill game is a fun one
  19. I’m watching all of them on the NFHS app.
  20. Yeah, as I said, you can do a lot. I have a 2016 F150 4x4, and added the Hill control descent button on the dash for like $12, then enabled it in Forscan, and it works just like I have an FX4. So you may be able to add the disconnect later as parts become available, then unlock in via the computer via Forscan. I know lots of folks on the F150 forums have added things that came on much higher trim models by adding the parts, and telling the computer to enable. whole lot of cool stuff it allows you to customize.
  21. Forscan disables it via the computer. No CEL. Completely reversible.
  22. Have a look into ForScan. You can disable the Auto start/stop for good, with just a laptop and some free software. Just need the cable to connect to the truck. You can do a ton of other stuff as well. my 2016 F150 doesn't have it, but I have disabled it on 3 other family members F150's.
  23. Got my Booster yesterday at about 4. Woke up with the weirdest fucking headache I've ever had this morning, but a little Advil took care of it. Arm is sore, but no more than the 2nd shot. I only had the mild high/brain fog feeling from the second shot, so I'm hoping that is all I have this go around, but I assume if it's worse, the shit is going to hit the fan this afternoon.
