  1. Refillable glass bottles. Beer and Coke taste better from the glass refillable bottles. Milk, too. I broke numerous returnable glass milk bottles sitting on porches, waiting for the milk man, when I threw newspapers. I learned to be a better shot. Everything used to come in glass, or some sort of durable wax paper container, or thin cardboard containers. No doubt more expensive, but I don't see any other way.
  2. Yeah, but I sort 'a want to make it a gift with no strings attached...
  3. What is the cheapest way to ship guitars? I am giving a couple of mine to a friend and UPS wants $130 each...big boxes with guitar in the case, one bass weighs 30 lbs. I love the guy, but not $130 worth.
  4. One of the most disturbing images from my childhood is that of Opium Dens. Maybe a leaflet describing and picturing Opium Dens should be required reading before getting a prescription for these drugs.
  5. As I recall from many years ago, one of the best things in the world was an ice cold Pearl gulped from a returnable bottle. Returnable bottles ftw.
  6. Parrot. Machine/mechanical vs soul. Sort of spectrum type personality. Better than me, though.
  7. Thank you for posting that amazing footage. I had never seen that.
  8. Is honey "better" than sugar? Is coffee "better" than beer? Let's just leave "better" out of it. Jimmy was/is a master of a style which previously was the sole ("soul") style of older black players, much like Bill Campbell, a white boy who you would swear was black if you closed your eyes. The phrasing. The turn arounds. The vibrato. The licks. The pulls. Campbell and Jimmy were/are like no other white players, at least none that I know of anyway...Johnny Richardson flirted with that league sometimes. Stevie, I think, could play what Jimmy and Campbell played, but he just had more to say. It's not the same, at all, and to put one over the other diminishes both.
  9. My God. It’s full of stars.
  10. You mention AC repair guy that used to work for you. If he works in Austin, and if he will repair unit rather than just try to sell me a new one, I would like his contact info. Thx.

      Tell him that Mark from Ranch Hand Roofing sent you.

  11. Compressor and its fan come on but no air from ducts. So I'm gathering fan compressor...but it's intermittent. Sometimes air to ducts, sometimes not. Any thoughts on intermittent?

    Vinyl

    How should I sell a collection? I have 1000+. All styles of music. Mostly rock, classical, blues, a little country. Couple dozen Japanese pressings and MFSL. Tons of classical cut outs still in shrink wrap. All stored straight and vertically. It’s time to downsize. Want to move all, not one at a time.
  13. For me, they get the chili gravy/cheese ratio right. That photo that BearCountry11 posted over in Noach Austin is all wrong, for my tastes anyway. Way too much cheese unless there is an ocean of chili gravy under that cheese. At El Pat I always have enough gravy left, after eating the main stuff, to dip another few tortilla chips or a corn tortilla, or slurp it up with a spoon, which always gets "that look" from my wife. Guess I'll have to get used to waiting an hour at Dart Bowl.
  14. How do you keep the shades from flopping around in the wind?

    Austin is now dead.
  16. Anyone know what is now on the site where Victoria House was, or the address of Victoria House. I would like to stay as close as possible to the place of my fond memories. Damn you, Ivan!
  17. Say...come here Goofy, you buck toof mutha fucka!
  18. Any secret tips to making custard? I could never find the sweet spot between raw egg/scrambled egg.
  19. I have a Jackery and an Anker. They seem about the same and will charge a phone about 2 1/2 times. Model depends on what size you want to carry around and how much you want to spend. The one's I use are about the size of a pack of cigarettes. Got both on Amazon.
  20. Not trying to be a dick, but if she doesn't remember to charge her phone she's not going to remember to charge a battery pack. Essentially, you're going to have to make it part of *your* routine. That's what I ended up doing.
  21. Peachy's gone south for the week.
