    Y’all are new to Texas, aren’t you?

    1970 is calling.

    It's markedly worse. 

    I am not talking about cutting in and forcing your way in.  I am talking about when there is 3 or 4 car lengths of gap and as soon as the car behind me sees my blinker their first reaction is to speed up so I cant merge.

    Has aggy weatherman never driven a vehicle before?  

    Any moron could have forseen the Prius coming over, even if he hadn't used his blinker, and literally all he had to do was take his foot off the gas for a second and he would have made enough room for him to safely merge.

    To me, people speeding up when they see your blinker as you try to merge is a relatively new phenomenon in Austin that drives me up the fucking wall.

  3. Yeah, that was kinda cringey. That reminded me of the video of wasted Felker right before he imploded (not implying he has relapsed). I have loved TT since the first album and the 6 or so times I have seen them his vocals were hit or miss.  The band was tight af each time though.  I the 1st time I saw them I sat by Kent Finlay at Cheatham Street Warehouse and asked him what he thought of them.  "They are the best young band I have seen in years and they are going to be big."  Pretty high praise indeed.

    Yep.

    • Season and smoke as you would a brisket for about 3-4 hours
    • Then ddd to foil pan.  I add a rough cut onion and diced hatch chilis and a cup or so of beef broth and cover with foil
    • Smoke for another 3 hours +/- until it gets to around 200+
    • Pour out the broth/onin/pepper juices into another bowl to save
    • Chuck shreds like pulled pork, then put back over how ever much of the broth and peppers you want.

    Served with those Hawaiin roles, diced pickles and onions, makes the best sandwiches.  I like it better than chopped brisket for sandwiches and it cooks in half the time for a fraction of the cost.  Every time I make it the kids and guests devour.

    Since I usually cook for just two people I have stopped smoking brisket and just smoke prime chuck roasts and they turn out muy delicioso. Will definitely try this with the broth. Would make great Chicago beef sandwiches.

    I have tix for the toadies in plano on sat night but I may have to skip it. I’ve been traveling M-F each week for work the past four weeks, and it’s time to spend some time with the wife.

    Ha ha, good one.

    Seeing Rodney Crowell then Wilco this fall. 1st time to see either one.

  6. Any idea what a Model 1894 Winchester .32-40 with a serial number somewhere around 16000 (built in 1895) would be worth?  My grandfather won it in a raffle in the '40s.  It's in pretty good shape.  It's missing the butt plate and a few screws but I think it would fire.

  7. In '82 a buddy and I climbed on top of the Jester elevator and rode on it all of the way to the top without anyone knowing we were there.  I got a little nervous not knowing how much headroom would be left after we reached the 14th floor but we were fine.

    Weirdly, as we rode back down to the lobby, the elevator gets stuck between the lobby and 2nd floor.  We can hear a crowd gathering in lobby and can see a cop thru the crack in the door and I hear someone say "I think someone is in there."  Panicking, I start studying the linkage mechanism that opens the door and find the right place to pry and manage to get the door open from the inside and we crawled out onto the 2nd floor lobby without getting cut into by the elevator suddenly starting up.

    We went to the lobby all innocent, "What someone is stuck in there? Oh my!"

  8. My second piece of ass was my freshman year of high school on a trip to Del Rio where my dad was racing mules.  He had several racing quarter horses and then racing mules back before parimutuel betting ruined all of that. In La Cuña at the calcutta the night before the races my dad tells my buddy and I that his best friend and the jockeys were going to Boys Town and asked did we want to go with them.  Why yes, yes we did want to go with them.  Right in front of my mom he gives us each $20 and says to be careful while my mom just shakes her head.

    On the way over there one of the jockeys pulls out a joint and we all get high af, with my dad's friend saying if I repeat anything I see tonight I will never go anywhere with him again.  I kept my word because the next year we go back and I get laid for third time.

    The next summer we raced mules in Durango.  Did not get laid but drank moonshine for first time.
