  1. I've gotta replace a sticking / leaking sprinkler valve, and it's located about 9 inches from the main trunk of a decent bush. Digging down a foot with a screwdriver and loppers to knock out the roots, all while trying to preserve the bush itself is NOT a good time. Not to mention it took me 2 months to get this stupid valve located. (We bought the house a few years ago, and the survey didn't have any of the sprinkler system details on it, and we couldn't locate 2 of the 4 zone valves. I've since located the other missing valves.)
  2. So, looks like Austin Justice on X is doing some work... Bum Fu: Loose Cannon:
  3. Or, maybe they did...
  4. This next gen of tow truck drivers is making TxTow SO proud!
  5. Saw it on the news last night, someone said he fired every round he had. Curious of all the shots fired how many were from the driver vs APD. A lot of smoke being expelled outward, and not much going inward. And I also heard on the news the driver had a clavicle injury, likely GSW. Had to feel good climbing out with the hands up.
  6. Little Ceasars got me through my early 20s when I was living paycheck to paycheck. Dominos is freaking great when you're feeding 20-30 kids at a birthday party. And Papa Johns is a fairly decent pizza for chain delivery. That said, I'll take CraigOs or Via313 any day over those.
  7. What are we buying with dozens of Best Buy coupons?!
  8. Can we go ahead and change Nicole's s/n to "UnderwaterShelf44"?
  9. They're already homeless, that's just adding insult to injury.
  10. If this was TxAgs, I'd assume you're talking about the sheep...
  11. You could leave something brown n the blanket to get back at her. Let us know how it goes.
  12. SSL Cert Expiration moving to 45 days. It was a damn near month-long process of rolling out new certs the last go-round, and now we get to do this on a rolling 45 day window. May the powers that be stub their little toe on the nightstand weekly, and may their water pump on their car go out while on a road trip. May one tire dryrot on their AWD car and they have to replace them all.
  13. He must need some stool softener, then...
  14. Man, I thought JK Simmons in Red One was just computer generated, didn't realize he was that ripped after the Farmers commercials.
  15. ^^^^ I bet that dude has a closet full of brown paper bags from Trader Joes...
  16. Hear me out on this: why not do a contest for local schools to create artwork for the new airport, maybe even expand to local artists. Make a pool of money for the winners, even. But keep it LOCAL. I bet you could get a shit ton of stuff done for a fraction of the cost. Hell, hand out spray paint cans and give schools a wall to go to town on, even.
  17. They figured out a way at Great Wolf Lodge. One time use cups, you scan at the fountain drink dispenser, and you have 20 seconds to fill your cup, and it cuts you off at 32 oz or so. Smart way to minimize loss, but could pivot to allow you what you're talking about, but in essence, why would any fast food or convenience store offer MORE when it would cut into their overhead?
  18. The irony about a budget shortcoming, all while this shit is coming up to a vote again... 5 more artists getting funding for ABIA art installations, and 3 are from out of state, one from Laredo, one from Houston. Not a damned one from Austin.
  19. Just cause I grew up there doesn't mean I still live there. And I'll be the first to say Pville is a giant shithole compared to what it used to be. But don't you dare denegrate Baris or Mama Jacks!
  20. There's a time of year where idiots aren't trying to fly at the airport?!
  21. Meh, Zilker itself is a perpetual re-sod project with a few good sand volleyball courts and a mini railroad that's sidelined whenever a drunk city official runs over the railroad tracks in their Honda Civic. The parking is a cluster anymore with pay to park BS not to mention the road diet on Barton Springs is moronic to put it nicely. Old Settlers on the other hand was pretty nice back in the day, with the same amenities, plus disc golf, public water park, ACTUAL sports fields (instead of an open field with lots of people doing their own things)... They've put in some legit work up there. I get the nostalgia for Zilker, but it's turning into a shithole that's always perpetually recovering from it's last big event (ACL, Trail of Lights) and or closed due to said events. Personally, there are a lot better places to hang out with less issues.
