I'm guessing you haven't been up I-70 recently if you think you can get there in 45 min on a weekend I've got a bridge to sell you.
Must be starting from Idaho Springs

1. Nobody looks their best in their mugshot (except my avatar)
2. I can't stand the mix of bricks and rocks for exterior finishes. Can't Fucking Stand It. Goddammit just pick one or the other.
and 3. Buffalo Trace is probably my all around favorite. And for $35 a bottle, you just can't can't go wrong.
We are in total agreement on bricks and rocks. McMansion special.

Texas has a total of like 7 million single family homes. Total. There aren't a million homes like that in the suburbs. Hell, there aren't a million homes like that in the entire state. There are less than 100,000 million-dollar homes across the state's largest metro areas.

90,000 of those $1,000,000 homes are $600,000 homes in Austin.

Make sure that wood is nice and seasoned before using it in your fireplace... less dry = more croseote = more fire risk.
Hey, so I have regular pop-up sprinklers in my irrigation system... is this type more effective and more water efficient?

Is Texas A&M predicted to go 8-4?
Yup. The model has A&M as the #3 team in the SEC right now mainly due to a high recruiting talent level and the fact that we had a good defense last year. Even with that, it’s still predicting we’ll go 8-4, which means it must be doing something right.
So much talent
Great defense
Yup... 8-4 again. Trophy time!

From what I understand, a lot of it is lift served to a point and then hike-to but if you've ever skied in Europe, much of the terrain is above tree line with designated pistes so often times its easy to hop off the piste and drop in somewhere or take a traverse over and then hit lines. Some may be hike-to terrain.
Look at the top map and then read this from Powderhounds and you'll see what I mean...
"The off-piste has soooo many awesome & easily achievable options. Freeriders will love the ’mini Alaska-like’ fluted spurs coming off the perfect Le Chalvet ridge (even have random hoodoos thrown in for good measure). The chutes, bowls & trees on the backside of Serre Thibaud is wonderful (try to avoid the protected wildlife habitat – it is well signposted). The couloirs, bowls & trees accessible from the high border crossing at the top of the Roche de l’Aigle chair ……… the list goes on."

Last year was an odd year for snow... the end of the season the snowpack just took a beating quickly. Crested Butte did pretty well last season but it seemed like the day we left, God decided winter was over. A-Basin and Winter Park were melting before my eyes last May unlike 2019 which were amazing. Early season forecasting should be good, though. Definitely want to do Telluride one day - never been. Looks amazing.

Now that it is winter in Austin, its a good time to think about ski season. Our delayed March 2020 trip will now be taking place in March 2023. Our hotel has been sitting on a nice 700 Euro deposit and its time to go use it, not to mention I "may" (we'll see if they honor it or not) have a fat credit with ski guides and a credit with rentals for the family. SO... fly into Geneva and head to Montgenevre.
The town is linked to the Via Lattea so with about 260 Euro for 6 days, you have access to 6 ski towns and I think you get one day at Serre Chevalier which looks kick ass. We'll stay in Montgenevre which is supposed to be most snowsure and has tons of off piste. Booked in 2019, finally taking it in 2023. Sheesh.
On a positive note, not being able to take this trip allowed me to finally experience Crested Butte and, man, I didn't realize what I was missing. What a great mountain!

Ugh, so do I need to make dinner reservations for every night in Paris? I thought I would just find some random places and show up. How dumb am I?
I mean, it depends where you are in Paris and the kinds of places you want to visit.
BTW, F Lyon... could not find a decent fare or deal with miles so we'll just fly into Geneva and then drive over to France.

That's where they were trying for years to approve a new road/park system. Wonder why that failed?
Actually using that space for a park system is a great idea... you can see that in Houston with areas like George Bush Park. Turned it into soccer facilities and all types of "floodable" amenities.

We seem to have gotten about 3" since Thursday in SW Austin. This morning was a bit of a drizzle. Hope we can keep getting some quick top offs. I can tell some of the brown areas are greening up. Lots of rain lilies. BUT, rain lilies don't provide drinking water. We need more rain in the watersheds.

Update:
Yeomans (KXAN) put it well tonight: next 2-3 days is a "sloppy" forecast.
That's because rain, and lots of it, is still very much in the picture. There's a slow-moving disturbance leaving a weak front behind it. But, that front's still potent enough to do what it did today for 95% of us in ATX. But he problem is that no one can really tell where the front will park - where it does, underneath it, gobs of rain. It moved through Dallas yesterday, Austin and east today, but now it can stall and even move back north - or more south. That's the slop.
Still, another little disturbance is coming into the picture and it'll interact with that front. The result: high chances of rain (>70%) the next 2 days. Much of it is gone tonight, but don't get cozy - models are showing a thunderstorm outbreak 3-4 a.m. right in the ATX area. Even if that fizzles, it'll certainly whip back up tomorrow. Widespread flooding is still not out of the picture, never mind the flash flooding (Shoal Creek today had it's 4th highest crest - EVER! - in less than an hour from essentially being a rock bed!).
I'll come back to try and give a better idea tomorrow where the rain falls, as the sun heats up and shows the trigger point plus with the possitility of more flooding, I'll try to stay on top of it. ironically, 50 miles one way or another won't get squat. But there's 2 days for everyone to get a piece of the pie.
Longer range, the end of August is more like the end of April, and September is shaping up to start cool and wet. If the big heat comes back, it'll have to do it well into the first week of Sept.
We might get one of our top 10, even close to #1, rainiest August's ever.
Bet you didn't think that would happen 2 weeks ago. Weather, she be funky an' shit.
More later.-

Tournament? Our match was stopped mid-match thanks to lightning and then Sunday games were cancelled due to soggy fields.
