    Why does it take 3-6 months to get a portable toilet in here?  I get that it's not your run-of-the-mill portable toilet, but are they buying them from Switzerland or something?  Do they have those fancy European getups that completely spray down and sanitize every so often?

    Has anyone managed to put together the "build your own Bevo" cut out yet?  I hate those things but I always have to give it a try....

     

    My daughter and I built it just the other night... of course it was destroyed within minutes and then the dog ate it

    Given that OU sold out and they had to deny orders last year I don't think any increase in demand is going to have an impact on LHF requests. If you got them last year I don't see why you wouldn't get them this year unless you were right on the line or something. But no, like last year, I doubt they'll be selling to the public or anything.

    When you order your tickets by the deadline you are guaranteed to get as many tickets as you have season ticket up to the priority limit (based on annual giving). But if you have less season ticket than that limit you can still request up to you limit however those would not be filled until all the "guaranteed" one across the season ticket holders have been filled. When they do fill they would not necessarily be in the same section as the previous ones.

    My understanding is that requesting extra seats has more to do with annual giving versus length of time holding season tickets. Annual donations determine who gets tickets... tenure (total points accumulated) is used to determine where the seats are in the stadium.

  4. They allocate TX/OU tickets in September but the request deadline is June. Expectations this year are a lot higher than last year... I'm not sure I would bet on them circulating another round of emails offering more tickets out.

    Can you ask for more Red River tickets that you have for season tickets? I thought you could ask for as many seats as your season tickets but you could only get up to a certain point based on the annual donation level. Until you are giving more than $10K annually you are capped at 4 tickets.

    I have turned left from Mount Bonnell westward onto 2222 a number of times in the past 55 years, and it ALWAYS has been a tense experience..... in broad daylight.  And in the mid 1960s I used to drive my MGA roadster higher than the speed limit all the way down to Bull Creek. It is very easy to see why this tragedy could happen.

    My older brother makes that same turn several times a week to go teach classes at Concordia. He is always wary.

    Mount Bonnell turning west onto 2222 has a light now. This was on the north section of Mount Bonnell turning west on 2222 where there is no light. I used to live on that stretch and always went down to Mesa to turn left. Always instructed the Uber drivers to do that as well because so many people fly down that hill.

  6. Still no tickets in my mail either.

    Middle sections in the upper deck are $1000 per seat donation so will run you $1525 at a min. Outside of the Terrace or Touchdown Club in section 13 I would agree that's pretty pricey.

    One issue is the tomato cage. It's too small to contain a cherry tomato variety plant. They can get big just in the spring and if you keep them alive during the heat, they will grow to 8'-9'. I've got one right now that is over 9' tall. The first 3 feet of vine are dead leaves and won't produce in the fall. The top part will begin producing again once the weather cools off.

    Second is that tomatoes need a bunch of water right now to survive the heat. Some people just start with fresh plants in June/early July but if you keep them well watered, they can survive. A little shade cloth can also help.

     

    Thanks... I think I will go with a smaller plant as I just don't have the space to have something that get's 10' tall. There is some shade where it's located but I could try a shade cloth. My planters are irrigated so I can give as much water as I need. Have 3-4 bubblers in each tank right now going off for 1m each morning. 

  8. Man, all these pics make me want to go play golf soon. I've barely played this year outside of my trip to Bandon in the Spring and Torrey Pines a month ago. I'm heading to Boston in a few weeks and will try to play a course in that area but am going to be rusty as hell for my club championship in Sept. Young children kill your golf game

    I have USPS Informed Delivery, and my season ticket package hasn’t shown up yet. Ugh. 

    Do you only get the confirmation email from USPS if you have opted into something special?

  10. I think I chose poorly on the variety. The one on the right did great and started producing some fruit but out grew the cages and then the string I put above it. Got so big it killed the other plants and now is dying.

    Next year I’ll change varietals... any good ones that don’t get as big and grow well in Austin area?

  11. Has anyone tried the Buffalo Trace OFC 25yr? $400 for a 2oz pour but bartender claimed it was really awesome. Had some of the WLW instead.

  12. So much good advice here... climbing is a lot of fun but get some good equipment. Don't take your external frame pack from 80s boyscouting; get/borrow one with new technology and lighter weight. Same goes for sleeping bag and stuff sack. You won't want some 100L bag that end up being 50lbs. Light weight clothes that are versatile (get pants that you can zip the legs off to convert to shorts) Good wool socks. 

  13. Got that email this morning as well... when you buy through this program do you have control over where the seats are or is it just "best available"? Also, damn I just looked at my loyalty points rank and I have some work to do to get into top 5K.
