  1. As a matter fact he does. None of us are perfect but the two particular parents he’s talking about have put plenty of their own information on out blast to invite some judgment.
  2. Yep, I totally misread that.
  3. Isn’t she like 30? I hope she’s fine, but the last line in the mom’s reddit posts make it sound like she left willingly. However bad a decision that may have been, this all seems excessive.
  4. JD has entered the chat.
  5. Flat Stanley did it better.
  6. Baseball is a great sport for the type of athlete that prefers to sit down on a bench in the shade for half the game waiting your turn to be involved. And stand there, more or less stationary, for most of the other half of the game, waiting for a ball that usually isn’t going to come to you unless you one of a tiny number of key players. It’s also good if you’re the type of person that wants to brag about failing 2/3 of the time.
  7. What.. are we supposed to start asking their age now?
  8. Do you remember him discussing the fine details of grammar required on No Parking signs? Hancock golf course is not that far from where TxTow was chucking rocks at cars on the lower deck of I-35.
  9. Who left the shit stick in the driveway?
  10. I didn’t put nearly as much effort into the editing, but here’s a couple clips I merged together of the same ride with WD40. I can’t believe I hadn’t gotten out to that place before with it being only a days drive from Austin. It was a blast. I’m like a 12-year-old on the bike and just like hitting a little jumps and drops more than the tech that WD40 likes but we did some of both and it was a great time. For me, it was a tail end of a long road trip where I rode Sedona, Albuquerque and Big Bear Lake before hitting Angel Fire on the way home. I’ll try to put together something with some footage from all of those soon. Sedona definitely left me wanting to go back for more. Big Bear has a great downhill bike park but Angel Fire is better this time of year with the SoCal dust. Seem like the runs were longer at Angel Fire too. My Movie 1.mov
  11. It sucks for this guy but I don’t see one death moving the needle much. There have been over 100 deaths in triathlons in the last decade, 3 of them in the last month. Open water swimming with masses of people is risky. Shits gonna happen. Everybody knows about Sam’s dad because he was a local guy but it happens a lot more than that and the events go on.
  12. Half the guys I work with are retired officers. I’d say about 8 out of 10 are Trumpy. Academy grads, fighter pilots, etc.. Educated people who are very smart in their field, but not so much about the ways of the world.
  13. If they did that for everyone, every flight would be late. There is somebody running for the airplane and barely missing it or barely making almost every flight every day. It’s a bigger picture than just you. There are probably other tight connections that are in jeopardy on the next flight. Or a crew close to timing out. Or an ATC takeoff window that has to be met. Or just the downline schedule that has to be caught back up to to keep the rest of the day on time or as close as possible. Every delay causes more delays down the line. One family getting on isn’t worth jacking up the rest of the day. And the days of making up time in the air have been gone for many years now. The airspace is just too busy for that.
  14. You’re an idiot. Perfectly sane people commit violence all the time. Being crazy and being evil are two completely different things.
  15. So after shots were fired, the Secret Service is just gonna allow him to stand right back up again in clear view of everyone? Sure Jan. He didn’t get fucking shot.
  16. Mine too. 1938 to 1980. DC-3 to 747. He was based in Texas in the early years, west coast in the later years. The place wasn’t all that big. They almost certainly knew each other or at least crossed paths.
  17. There are a lot of horror stories out there about cheap windshield installs causing problems later on. They pull the rivets out and go in quickly with larger generic sized screws into the old holes without sealing it up properly. The also reuse the same old brittle gaskets and trim pieces. Then the enlarged hole around the screw starts getting rusty, and the rust builds under your A-pillar unbeknownst to you until years later when it manifests as a leak down the pillar onto the interior floorboard.
  18. I love how Austin is supposed to have 30 knot winds and they’re still using the storm’s name.
  19. Football season, and life in general, is way better when you have no idea who most of our players are until they start making noise in camp a year or two later.
  20. Wives don’t seem worth the hassle.
  21. After my last few visits to the Texas coast… Team Shark.
  22. If you’re here get off your damn phone and get to work on my roof.
  23. George fucking Jefferson. Any 2 others.
  24. I’m an occasional Crank n Dranker. Like a few times a year at most. I used to be able to hang with group 2 but I’ve gotten slower and they’ve gotten faster and even group 3 kicks my ass. Those are my home trails though. Not my favorite trails, but the ones I ride the most since they’re right out the door. Knowing every little obstacle and the best lines though them make it easier.
