    can we please crowd source this loon?

    Brisket may be a bit wordy at times, but he is well meaning.  I think calling him a "loon" is a bit harsh.

    I need a new rec for Dallas as well if anyone has someone they really like.  I feel like folks we've been using have been trying to upsell a bit recently.

    I've used Hooper Plumbing for the last decade or so and have been happy.  They get people out quickly and stuff is fixed when they leave.

    Honestly, I'm not sure how they are for prices because I haven't compared them to anyone else in years.

    tune up can mean to adjust something to make it work more efficiently (e.g. a furnace) or to beat handily (e.g. ALCS gm7).

    that really wasn’t too difficult.

    I’m with both of you. Rangers win was a lifetime sports highlight for me, but the last thing I want is my furnace / AC system to be made to operate like the Astros in that series.  Completely ineffective at home. Just a weird ad for a Dallas company IMO.

    I don't want to laugh at this but shit.

    Was almost my first reaction too (knowing they were both back) BUT.....my self preservation skills kicked in knowing to not piss the Mrs. off even more.

    I only laugh because they’re ok and on the mend, but holy shit that’s pretty funny. It’s all fun and games until a porcupine gets you and your sibling in the face.

    Indeed.  There are worse things than porcupines.

    While true, a porcupine quill ultimately did in my chocolate lab Jolie.

    Truly sorry for your loss moose, but this is Surly so I thought this gif was appropriate given the the overall flow of the conversation.

    A USMC Super Stallion Helo went down yesterday after leaving Nevada for Miramar.    

    The wreckage was located in East San Diego this morning, WITH NO MARINES INSIDE!

    So, there's a high probability that these guys survived.  There's a shitload of assets looking for them right now, but the weather really sucks. 

    What is the typical crew / capacity of one of those?

  6. I grew up dipping my CFS with gravy in ketchup and then one day the thought of replacing the ketchup with cholula hit me (alcohol may have been involved) and it was like

    I grew up in the greater Brownwood region FWIW.

  7. Planning to spend a couple of weeks in Scotland / Ireland this Summer with my wife and our 3 kids (2 in college and a 10 year old).

    Trying to figure out lodging, probably easiest to rent an apartment instead of multiple hotel rooms.  Is Airbnb and/or Vrbo the way to go or is there some Brit or Euro version that is a better source for me?  I'm a bit afraid of getting scammed as I've seen a few listings noting "Hacked account / Fake listing".

    @txduck87 @Brisketexan @Chewbacca @Incredulity @Hagbard Celine

    Anyone else who has experience with Airbnb or Vrbo or Brit / Euro equivalent specifically in Scotland / Ireland, any guidance you can provide is appreciated.

  8. The lady in the office next to me has a family place on Dauphin Island.  I can ask her for any pro-tips on that specifically.

    Generally, I would say that anything down that way (Miss / Bama / FL panhandle) the weather can be a complete crapshoot for Spring Break.  Your "beach" vacation could be exactly what you think of (nice weather, etc.) or it could be 42 degrees and windy as hell.  I've had both experiences down there at Spring Break and the bad weather variant really puts a damper on the week.

     I'll work my tail off to get into UT and if not, I'll go kick ass at Tech.

    Sounds like he ( and some other Surly spawn) is taking the right approach. Wherever they end up, do your best, have fun, and then go be a self sufficient, good citizen!!

  10. Checked and didn't see this posted anywhere.  Apparently this has been out for about a year, but i saw it randomly last night and thought it was great. 

    7 of the 10 guys who are Heisman winners and Pro Football Hall of Famers sit down to have a discussion. Obviously seeing Earl is awesome, but the others are cool to see also. Just a bit over an hour and worth it!!

    I was trying to remember what online site preceded HornFans. I think it might have been a section of a news group or something like that. Can’t remember.

    Wasn't it something on Austin360 or something like that?  I'm thinking back to '96, '97 range probably.
