    Winch-feeders:  Hang 'em high, to the specific.  They have pretty long tripod legs.  Anyone think with tie-down you could get one in the bed of a pickup?  Thinking of heading in Angelo and picking another one up?

     

    West Texas Game Feeders

    We love them. Have 2. Worth it. The raccoons are skinnier now.  

  2. I was obsessed for a while. Had a subscription to Latitudes and Attitudes and Blue Water Sailing. My thought was to look for a 32' to 39' (37s is ideal imo) Etap, the so-called "unsinkable" boat. Not a lot of storage space with the double hull, but I think the goal would be to be lean and mean. You can find a used one on the med for about $100k. Figure another $50 to do a complete overhaul. That would keep a lot of cheddar on hand for other stuff. Or go smaller, like the 32s, and really be nails and single-handling. 

  3. Have a 1st and 3rd grader in rec sports. Third Saturday in a row with rained out games. 

    The keep trying to reschedule them, and now we've got seemingly every weekend in October with games on both Sat and Sun. Jeez, I mean I get wanting to give people their $80 worth or whatever, but I'd like a day to get to the ranch and fart around. They don't even keep official score in U7! And on my daughters team, its a 5 team league. They play everyone 3 times! Maybe we can play one team just twice. We'll manage. Nobody is getting promoted to the top league. 

  4. my bro just got out out TDCJ custody in June after doing 11 years. Can confirm that sex offenders do in fact routinely get the shit beat out of them. Also mentions that there are no fancy enemas in prison. Anal sex leaves a miasma of fuck-shit particles that sort of hang in the air, leaving a telltale stench of sodomy that lingers. He also told me this idiom which I try to use in conversation as much as possible: "No matter how long a bottom bitch has been someone's punk, sooner or later they gonna want to use their own thang." Use that as you see fit.

  5. Anyone know if the RR Express going back to the Astros effects FC Austin's potential 2019 homefield? Earlier articles said that was "complicating" things, but I'm not sure what the actual impact would be.  Is CDC cool with leasing Myers? 

    Last night I dream I watch FCA beat the hated Dallas Burn after a 2-2 tie by notching a 4-3 win in the old running 35 yard hockey shootout.

    Look into zero lot line detached townhomes with HOAs that take care of the maintenance. Many are starting to pop up all over the big Texas cities mainly as infill developments.

     

    I'm kind of partial to the aesthetic of a multistory building, particularly the cliche concrete & stainless look, and a nice balcony view. But my mom did live in a detached home in a condo area up the Mountain in 78750. No common walls and no direct maintenance cost (outside of HOA fees). But it was 2 story, and she got old. 

  7. This may be an impossible question to answer, but hear me out. 

    I live in the NW burbs of Austin. I like it here. I have my little ranch property, and I get my fill of outdoor stuff there. I would be happy in a big condo or townhome thing with zero maintenance. But most of the multifamily stuff outside the core is stick built, and I don't think I could ever live in a place where I can hear my neighbors. I did it as a student, and I never want to do it again. I don't have those concerns so much with the nice concrete highrises. If somebody built a X story condo highrise (maybe a parking garage next door - this is the burbs) I'd be interested. Since property out here is so much cheaper, what kind of prices do you think a reasonably sized 3 bedroom (maybe 1200 sq ft) condo run if somebody actually built one? I know they don't really do those kind of floorplans, but you know what I mean. 

  8. In the defense of Frisco, it does let FC Dallas be an epicenter of youth development. Acres and acres of practice fields. I hope eventually that FCA works out a way to have lots of youth coaching and stuff.

    Dallas Stars

    I said major sport. (I know, pot kettle black, etc)

    I like the idea that maybe ATX pro franchises would have a consistent color scheme a la Pittsburgh. 

  10. It'll do. AFAIK its a different scheme than any other major pro team in Texas, and its not UT, A&M, Tech, TCU, UH, or Baylor. I vaguely recall the Mavericks being primary green in the 80s, but they are pretty squarely blue/white now. FC Dallas Burn is red, Dynamo is that weird orange. Not sure how about the tree thing. It looks cool, and I'm rather fond of badass ancient live oaks, but it doesn't scream austin to me. The Portland Timbers is an axe, so at least its not a different tree. They probably could have kept that Crew yellow, but I can see why they might want to rebrand. 

  11. I have the cbsaustin interactive weather map bookmarked. As of few minutes ago it said "weak front passing though, storms not expected to be severe." Now it says "Warning until 6:15pm. Possible winds to 60 mph and hail to 1" in diameter with a storm over Andice tracking SW 10 mph."

    I'm guess that is just copy/pasted from NWS outlooks, but it made me laugh.

    in writing this up its apparent the solution is to run an easement along the east fence of Neighbor A from the north county road. I guess? So long as the parcel that is new to my FIL touches his remaining acreage, I dont think an easement by necessity would have cause to be created.
