    My 12yo and I had a great time. He's been dying to go to a game forever and I'm glad we finally did. He tossed a beanbag right in the hole on his first try and won a hat at the Ford display outside before the game. We paid $25 to park at 2201 Donley. There was plenty of street parking available around there at 7pm. I'm sure the city charges something stupid to park there but it would have been way easier to get out had we parked on the street rather than the lot we did. Going to park on the street next time. Prices in the stadium for concessions are fucking insane. $7 for a 20oz bottle of coke, $19 for brisket nachos. I honestly do not ever remember paying this much at any venue in my life. Stadium is so small there really isn't a bad seat in the house. People in the south endzone are nuts. So much energy in the stadium. Fucking team were idiots tonight. So different watching the game live rather than TV. TV is way too focused in on the ball, so great in person to see plays develop and see people open. I swear there were a dozen or so times someone was running free on the wing and rather than passing out just dribbled strait into 3 people and lost the ball. Need to work on long kicks. We lost 90% of the long balls. San Jose was not putting huge pressure on, just fucking kick goal kicks short and work it up. The last goal was so stupid. 3 dudes allow a guy to cross without closing him out. Either park the bus in back or continue to attack. The half ass whatever the fuck that was cost us the win.

    What a game. first time here in person. What a great little stadium. we need to stop the long passes. I think we’re 0-7 on controlling goal kicks and 0-5 on long passes from left to right side.
  3. Reason I'm asking is we went to bull creek near the bridge on Lake Austin and parked between two boats that were about 60 feet apart, leaving about 20-30 feet between us and each boat. Turned out one of the boats had >50 feet of anchor line so we dropped right on top of his. He had a complete shit fit telling us we didn't know what we are doing and don't understand how anchors work when our boats got close. Mine didn't move more than a few feet, his drifted 20-30 feet.
  4. When you anchor in a party cove type place with water depth of about 10 feet and a muddy bottom that is easy for an anchor to catch, should you use a 50 foot anchor line or a 15 foot anchor line?
  5. are they talking about the lime electric scooters?
  6. moved the mental health and guns discussion to cr.
  7. Lake Austin was busier than I have probably ever seen it today. A special shout out to idiots going 5 miles an hour. WTF are you doing? Fucking speed up or anchor. You make it dangerous for those of us pulling wakeboards or tubes by clogging up a huge chunk of the lake.
  8. Yes apparently the septic was all fucked up and would take a lot of money to clean up so that’s why the lot has not been developed
  9. For the lake austin boaters ski shores is back open. Food is better but prices were raised dramatically and service is non existent. You order from an app and food is delivered so no one really gives a shit about getting water, getting a refill or correcting a messed up order. $24 for 6 fried shrimp and fries, $14 for a burger, fries extra $6, lobster roll $39, chicken tenders $21 really sucks as I was getting tired of hula hut but when it’s $50 for me and one kid to eat some shrimp and a burger I’m probably not going back unless I’m in a big hurry
  10. Dude at the boat ramp: "Your FJ is fucking sick!"
  11. Future state champs at football camp Talked to coach Salazar a bit, may develop some software for him to classify opponents offensive play calling.
  12. No marinas anywhere close to us as we're kinda out of the way. There is a neighborhood owned park with a boat ramp less than a mile away. I had been thinking of looking for a marina then one day we were going down the lake and I saw a guy on a private dock behind a multi-million dollar house looking like a monkey fucking a football trying to get a couple of huge gas tanks to his boat and thought, backing up a trailer isn't so bad.
  13. New tires look much better. Tiny bit of rubbing when backing up and making full turn. Whole series of shit at discount tire. Realized my spare rim is a different size than wheels, wheels are no longer made, tpms not working on tires on new truck, tpms from old truck wouldn’t sync with new truck. Speedometer is also off by around 10% now too.
  14. A good video showing what we’ve been doing the last week.
  15. he's so thin skinned for such a lard ass it's amazing he doesn't pop like a zit
  16. New one has a backup cam. Screen is in the rear view mirror and tiny, maybe 2"x2". I can't see shit in it. Should help with the trailer hitch though. Yesterday when driving and getting in and out I was thinking to myself the lift doesn't add a whole lot, seems about the same. Turns out my old one is jacked up 6 inches or so too, the new one just looks way different due to the custom wheel wells. Guy who had it before did all the cutting and fixing to put big tires in so I think I should be good with 35's.
  17. That’s what I’m leaning towards. I have a set of black wheels on my old one that I’m planning to switch over. Mobile mechanic guy who inspected the truck for me said it looked like they took the wheels/tires off the truck and sold them and put the cheapest shit they could find on there. All the other aftermarket stuff is high quality but the tires and rims are not. I trailer the boat and it’s a pain to back up, lots of blind spots. When the boat is on the trailer it’s not so bad, when the boat is off the trailer and I only can see the two guides at the back of the trailer it’s really bad as I can often only see one of them and get them mixed up and think I’m good when the trailer is heading off in one direction or another. I’ve been looking for a 1995-2005 f150/ram/Chevy 4x4 pickup to permanently attach the boat trailer to and there isn’t shit around right now and what there is is stupid expensive
  18. FJ 2 2012, 125k miles, wench, aftermarket bumpers, roof rack, subwoofer its lifted I think 6 inches, looks stupid with the current tires, need to lower or get bigger tires. hopefully this is the last truck I buy for a while. Going to get all the goodies I added out of old one and sell it. Daughter now wants the old one, don’t really want her driving the rust bucket.
  19. This is so wrong I’m not even going to waste my time responding. Sorry the majority of the board does not feel the way you do about this topic. Keep complaining and I’m sure you’ll convince me and them to your point of view.
  20. Ah yes, the poll must be wrong and I am right because it happened at a particular time frame. Just like an aggy picking a certain year to go back to that suits their narrative. The two recent posts I deleted in the Uvalde thread I agreed with 100%. I think there should be gun control and we should do everything in our power to prevent these events from happening. They don't make me uncomfortable, I just don't want to wade through them when wanting to read about news.
  21. You are free to have those discussions in CR. We are not preventing you from discussing anything. I'm sorry we as a website can't meet your needs. 90% of the site agrees with me and would prefer news in DT and opinions in CR. There is a grey area and I and the other moderators try our best to separate those out.
  22. I'm not sure why you are being so obtuse. This thread is for news about this event. If you want to discuss the causes and political choices that have been made to allow this to happen you can discuss it in the cloak room. Tweets like yours above that are directly related to this are fine. Someone came in and posted their opinions about gun control, about making it harder to get guns, which I am 100% in favor of, but I don't want 40 posts following it of "2nd amendment", "bear arms", "definition of militia" and other shit that is universal and not tied to this. I want to come to this thread and read about news about this event, not have to wade through the exact same shit that happens on every thread relating to a gun. If I wanted to read about that I'd find the appropriate thread in CR.
