  1. Put the boat in at 11am this morning at Lake Hills. 3 boats from there to the bridge. 4 boats from bridge to hula hut. Coming back around noon, zero boats between hula hut and bridge. At 3:30 13 boats between bridge and Lake Hills park.
  2. Probably not. An advertiser will pay per view of their ad. Netflix will sell them 100,000 views on show "x" or 100,000 views in Austin area on any show, the advertiser will not know how many times the show "x" was shown, they will just know it's >100,000.
  3. Now I'm starting to see people on foil boards (not sure correct name) 20-30 feet behind and 10-20 feet to the side of the wake boats. Had to come to a stop while pulling my kid on a wakeboard the other day as 2 boats were parked on the left side of the lake and wake/foil took up the entire right side of the lake.
  4. I don't think they did. Yeah, fucking unreal how people do that.
  5. Neighbor was trailering his boat when a wake boat went by. Lifted up the boat, turned it sideways and moved it forward. Prop came down on the trailer. So far just a broken prop but they are looking to see if anything else got moved around. Was tied up on the shoreline south west of the 360 bridge the other day and a wakeboat went through the whole no wake zone going 30+ leaving a couple of foot wave behind him.
  6. Off topic posts are going to be deleted and rewarded with time off.
  7. A few years ago I drove a few different 4runners. They essentially hadn't changed in years. The 1997 I drove had two main differences than the 2015 I drove. The stereo and the seats. So I bought the 1997 and put a new stereo and had the seats redone to match the original seats. Cost $1400 to do the pair, they were good as new and comfortable. I was able to sell them for $500 when I totaled the 4runner a few months later.
  8. When I was a member at Lost Creek I was a 10 playing a 22 handicap in the match play, giving him 6 shots a side. I shot a 38 on the front nine and was down 5 holes. I ended up shooting an 80 and he shot a 75. We were done after the 12th hole. He claimed "medical issues" that caused him to shoot higher on earlier rounds.
  9. PJ O'Rourke has a book called "all the trouble in the world" where he goes to a bunch of shitholes and tries to find people to get drunk with and have a good time. If you liked this story you'll like that book.
  10. I don't know if I posted it but I do remember it. short story https://jalopnik.com/the-first-people-to-drive-across-the-congo-in-20-years-5697358 full story/thread from the forum they posted on https://forum.expeditionportal.com/threads/democratic-republic-of-congo-lubumbashi-to-kinshasa.50799/
  11. I came home one day a while back and there was blood splatter all over the house. One dog had bitten the other's ear and she kept shaking her head and spraying blood. Every once in a while I'd find new places she had gone. There were still spots in closets and other places we discovered when we were moving out 12 years later.
  12. 1. your bank was hacked and info was released somewhere 2. someplace you paid with ach was hacked and your info was released 3. bank employee stole info and released it 4. employee at a place you paid with ach got it and shared it
  13. Because it just takes a misclick or two from the end user to get some money. And/or they could set up a second account and use stolen credit card numbers to pay for it and get money that way.
  14. No, merchant doesn't get money till it's charged. Even if charged it's a few days before they get the money.
  15. I30 between Dallas and Ft Worth was originally a toll road and at some point in my youth they removed the toll booths. Exits and on ramps were shitty for years to accommodate toll booths but they replaced them over the years.
  16. Big fan of YoutubeTv too. Tried most of the others and would get spinning circles of death on every one. Have never had one on YTTV.
  17. Yep, pulled out a while back. It was great earning 1% when banks were paying 0.25%, now with sofi paying 4.5% and vanguard money market at 4.8% why bother with it.
  18. I haven't swung a club in over a year. Need to make fun of others who are sharing my pain.
  19. Could you even hit a driver that far right now?
  20. haha, yeah, people get insanely jealous when they ask how/where I go/launch. Can't imagine putting in at 360, waiting for idiots to get in/out and parking a mile away. Only had 1 time where I got irate at the ramp. Guy backed his trailer into the water, then gets on his boat and spends the next 15 minutes cleaning his boat and taking down the cover.
  21. Yeah, a neighbor was looking at a similar 2007 and asked me a bunch of questions a few months ago. The one he was looking at was $50k. I bought mine at Texas Malibu and got them down from $33 to $30. It was in October so they were thinking if they didn't sell it to me it was probably going to sit there for 6 months. I have 780 on mine, according to what I read when I bought this 900-1000 is probably too much and you may start seeing some issues. When I first bought it I dreaded dragging it around and was looking for a slip. After getting the hang of backing it up I really don't mind doing it anymore. After watching a dude looking like a monkey fucking a football trying to get some big gas cans to his boat slip behind his $10M house I thought, "hey maybe the trailer isn't so bad." Expect to drag gas cans or pay 2x as much for gas on the lake than you would going to a regular gas station.
  22. I have a 2007 21' Malibu Wakesetter and it pretty much checks all your boxes. Other than a couple of plastic pieces breaking on the cooling return line it's been pretty solid. You should be able to get one in your price range. I paid $30k for mine a few years ago, have seen plenty in your range from around that timeframe. Runs a chevy 350 which is the one engine GM made that I haven't had many issues with in this or the chevy tahoe's I had. I bought it figuring if I liked it and the kids enjoyed it I'd upgrade in a few years, but after seeing all the issues my nieghbor has with the electronics on his 2020 Malibu I'm just going to keep this till the kids graduate high school in a few years.
  23. No idea. There's one guy here that flew them, he should know.
