    Sounds like some welding would be in order. Think the webers could take it? I’m not confident with the newer ones, but maybe. They just seem a good bit thinner than the old school reputation. Fine grill on its own though. 

    I was thinking high temp tape, maybe in conjunction with a few magnets.  Magnets, how do they work?

  2. The fact that most parts are on the shelf at Home Depot doesn't suck, either.

    I have a wild hair to make a smoker out of a small tabletop Weber charcoal grill and a larger 22"-ish standing kettle grill.  Use the shortie at ground level as the firebox, plumb the lid vent up to the lower vent on the full-sizer, wallah!  

    Of course, I already have a smoker, but still . . . projects.

  3. If you grew up in the midwest during a certain timeframe (think "Dazed & Confused" era) it was pretty hard to avoid REO Speedwagon.  They were good and even sometimes great before the great migration to power ballads.  There is no denying Gary Richrath's talent, that guy was a smokin' guitar player who unfortunately decided he liked whiskey more than music.

  4. MJ Lenderman was good, not great.  For one, I hate the way they EQ his voice live.  I know he has more bass tone than that.  Regardless, it was a pretty mellow show, and when they did crank it up and get psyche-ey the volume just wasn't there in the building.

    That said, this is a fantastic song, and it came off really well:

     

     

  5. Man, those sensors are a money grab.  They alert when a tire is a half psi out of range, and they generally crap out over time anyway.

    Build the habit of looking at your tires before you jump in the car.  It's really not that hard to spot one that is struggling.

    Don't think I ever went to Ruby's before midnight.

    It feels like there was an alley connecting it to Antone's back stage entry?  I can't remember if it was gated off.

  7. I want to believe Graham is real.  He's real enough, he has definitely fingered the pulse of Aggies everywhere, or something.

    In looking at their schedule, I don't see how they win more than 1-2 of these games:  @ ND, @ Arky, @ LSU, @ Mizzou, SC, @ Texas.  8-4 best case, clickety clickety clack.

    In this vain, I will say that Lil' Nigel played quite a bit against several players on the roster this past season.  Two were good at 15-16 but didn't really develop past that, and two were players where we just never saw it. 

    Let me guess:  dads standing around a BYOB ballgame tailgate waiting on players to get out, and at some point the other team's middle reliever comes up in conversation soon followed by "THAT kid got a scholarship to Texas?"
