  1. Just drove from Round Rock to Westlake. Wasn't too bad. Little bit of slickness on the bridges, but managed to make it home without getting into a wreck. Semi's were doing 75 on I35.
  2. first post of this thread
  3. thread title updated yeah, I gotta say that email may have been my favorite thing I've ever written.
  4. Installed a light bar on the front and back this weekend. with high beams on: light bar on: Main reason for install is for when someone coming the other way flashes their brights at me thinking I have my brights on. Gonna blind that mother fucker.
  5. When I was growing up in the 80's the "oldies" station played stuff from the 50's. I thought to myself the other day after they played nirvana and green day that 101x is now an "oldies" station since they mainly play 30 year old stuff.
  6. 1. a lot of luck with evenly skilled players. Coolers like Ace high flush vs King high flush or boat over boat is where the money moves around. 2. You aren't guaranteed to be in the money if you fold. If the short stack has the best hand, and the 2nd smallest stack has the second best hand, 3rd-3rd, 4th-4th etc, then the money just switches around with no one eliminated. With 5 others you're only about 20-25% to win. Depends on two things. If first is a shitload more than 2-4 then I would because I want to win. If 1-4 payouts are flat I probably fold and hope biggest stack wins.
  7. have they had a scene as awesome as this one yet?
  8. Changed the oil on the FJ today. Great job by the toyota engineers. Go from: unscrew one plastic thing rub a little oil on the new one screw it on To: take off rock shield take off little metal flat piece shove plastic piece in to housing and spray oil everywhere get special tool and take off housing and spray oil everywhere drain and clean housing replace gasket on housing put filter in housing screw housing in replace gasket on outside of housing put metal piece back in place replace rock shield
  9. we went out today. Lake Austin was glass. Only saw 5 other boats and only 1 guy water skiing, no one boarding or surfing.
  10. I think the one being built in California has been an unbelievable success with no issues, cost overruns or problems of any kind.
  11. electric up/down, can be set next to a wall, real leather.
  12. I just get whatever logitech mouse they have at costco. Usually about $30 and works for a few years without issue.
  13. I went to several nice places including the lazyboy store and couldn't find shit less than $2500 I went to Mega Furniture at mopac/parmer next to the old Fry's and they had several in the $500-$800 range. I'd try there if I were you.
  14. It's those commercial carpet squares. Wife buys them for $1 a piece at rehabitat and replaces them every year or so. I hate it but I've learned to pick my battles.
  15. Got an FJ so I'm in the same towing range as you.
  16. anyone got opinions on off road rv trailers? Opus/Taxa/Black Series?
  17. Went to Tahoe last week to ski. While standing at the little office in the parking garage an employee pulled up in a 4runner. Lady asked me if I wanted the 4runner or ... and I cut her off and said 4runner. It was absolutely the best thing I have ever driven in the snow/ice. Never a hint of spinning wheels or getting squirlley. On the way down the hill one night I was behind a jeep and keeping 50 or so feet behind it. The jeep and the car ahead of it both started fishtailing as they were approaching a corner. I softly applied the breaks and the ABS kicked in and we stayed in a strait line. The car behind me started fishtailing and ended up in the snowbank across the road, missing me by inches. Another time we were going up the hill and behind a small car with chains. Dumbass driver slowed down too much going up the hill and started spinning his tires. He ended up having to turn around. I had no issues starting from a dead stop and easily made it up the hill. I now know what I'm going to get if we move up there and the FJ kicks the bucket. Also curious how much of the tech in the 2023 4runner is different than a 2012 FJ. I know toyota slow rolls a lot of stuff.
  18. Looks just like my dog
  19. Iger's kid went to UT and did something with the basketball team and is now a scout for the Spurs. We sat next to him at a game last year and he chatted with several of the UT coaches before the game. Guess he's buddies with Ogden.
