  1. This is the aggy thread, lets leave the Astros and Altuve out of it please.
  2. Did they let an 80 year old asian woman drive that?
  3. filters are $79 on amazon, but it's supposed to be cleanable.
  4. Got a call from them today, not Kevin. Went through the list of other stuff and then the last item mentions the "odd noise coming out the back when running". Didn't think it was a big deal but just wanted to tell me so I watch/listen for it next time we go out. Slightly different description from the previous. They did tell me my air filter was dirty and could replace it for $200 for the part and a half hour of labor. (rate: $165/hr). I told them I think I can figure out how to replace it.
  5. It's at a place on 620 in lakeway
  6. All I got is what's above I'm going to go over there tomorrow and take a look at it
  7. I've used them once before and they seemed fine, don't remember anything odd that time Thanks, this is what I was thinking along with a "how could this happen" type questioning. I know I haven't hit anything in quite a while, and don't see how sitting on a trailer for a couple of weeks and dragging it 5 miles down the road could bend a shaft.
  8. So I take in the boat for an oil change and impeller replacement and get this text: Hello Mr. Blacklab this is Kevin with ____. the services on your boat are completed. While our tech was running the boat up to temp, he shifted the boat into gear as a normal check and noticed as big vibration and determined the shaft is bent. He has put in the work order a job to diag underwater gear for damage. Needing approval to move forward. I will email you the work order so you can see all the tech notes. Boat was fine last time we were in the lake a few weeks ago. I don’t remember hitting anything and nothing happened dragging the boat home or to the shop. My first instinct is they damaged it or it’s a scam to get more money out of me. Any advice?
  9. nice picks guys
  10. Holy shit WFT on barton springs. Haven't been that way in a while, and now the only way to Mopac from the river to 70/290 is one fucking lane in each direction? Made a round trip and used it twice. Hundreds of cars, traffic backed up eastbound, and I saw one dude on a bike between mopac and lamar. This was around 10-11am. I can't imagine how bad it is during rush hour.
  11. wrong down or distance one play resulted in a first down, he said it's 3rd down another play was 2nd and 7 and he said 2nd and 3.
  12. already a thread for this
  13. I wonder how many payments they had left on the corvette
  14. My dogs were badgering the fuck out of me at 4pm yesterday for dinner.
  15. Nivek is the russian troll?
  16. I have a guy here in Austin I hit up on an hourly after a big change. Let me know if you want his contact info
  17. Expect to get fucked. went to heavenly at Tahoe a few years ago and bought a three day pass before the season started for $305. On day two the lifts were closed due to high winds. Daily rate at that time was $150. So they offered me $5 refund for the day. ($305 - $150 -$150). I asked for a full day pass for later in the season and got that instead.
  18. Yes, you get to put off paying income tax on it till later and you'll have more money to grow before you withdraw. If you're making $120k now that money is in the $100k-$120k tax rate. If you withdraw $20k after you retire and live off it for a year you're in the $0k-$20k tax rate which is much lower
  19. Used to live right down the block from there. Was shocked when I saw that open, would have killed for that to walk to after crazy lady ruined the shopping center at windsor and exposition
  20. Holy shit I don't believe it. Summer of 85 and 86 I shlepped around Arlington stadium selling popcorn and coke. Games against the yankees and tigers that were away games. Games near the end of the year with 300 people in the stands. What a long strange trip it's been.
  21. Thanks for the info guys. My boys and I ski, the wife shops so we're trying to figure out the best for all of us. I don't really want my wife driving my truck up and down the mountain if the road is icy/snowy.
  22. They are still doing it, kids have been running this year. When I did it with my kids a few years ago there was a sign up booth in the carnival on the street just north of the stadium right about the mid point of the stadium. It opened around 3 hours before kickoff and closed when they filled up.
  23. Is there much shopping around either of these?
  24. Any advice on where to stay at Taos? Would like to ski in/out but doesn't look like there's much in the way of restaurants or amenities there. How bad is the drive up/down the hill in the morning/afternoon?
