  1. Just got a new Tisus 1911 45 from Grabagun for $299. Perhaps THE cheapest 1911 but gets great reviews. Slapped these ROT grips on it tonight.
  2. I'll 2nd CarMax as a place to sell your car hassle free for a fair price. I sold my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee last week to them. I got on-line offers based on the VIN# and CarMax beat Carvana, AutoNation, Southpoint, and a couple of others by several thousand dollars. And like Hornonthebayou said above, they wrote me a check for the full amount within 30 minutes of taking it to their lot. They are the Easy Button for sure.
  3. I had a black algae problem two summers ago. Here is how I got rid of it. I bought some granular chlorine shock from Leslies. The shitty kind that doesn't dissolve really well. The fact that it doesn't dissolve fast will work in your favor. Turn your pumps off. You want the water still. Throw scoops of power over the are with the black algae and try and let the granules settle on top of the area. Leave it undisturbed for 24 hours. Scrub the area with your pole brush. Repeat as needed. I think about 4 or 5 times with this process completely got rid of it for me.
  4. If the ship lost power, why didn't they just drop their anchor baby?
  5. Yes. The previous owner was my wife's uncle. He had a lake house on Travis and the boat hardly left the dock. He sold the boat to me a few years ago and we've replaced all of the fuel senders, batteries, fluids, etc and it's running great. The dock fees are eating me up and I want to get a smaller boat.
  6. I listed my boat for sale on BoatTrader if anyone is interested. It's on Lake Travis and in the water ready to go. Would love to sell it to someone local so we don't have to fool with shipping. Shaggy discount applies. No HDMI ports. https://www.boattrader.com/boat/2002-cruisers-yachts-3870-express-9580339/
  7. Last year I discovered a great product for fighting algae - PoolRx. I've struggled for years to keep algae under control. Last year I tried PoolRx and it kept my pool algae free with no effort. I wish I had discovered it a long time ago. Just chunk it in your skimmer basket at the beginning of summer and forget about it. It's a copper based mineral puck that costs about $60 on Amazon. Good for the entire summer season.
  8. It was Christmas in prison And the food was real good We had turkey and pistols Carved out of wood And I dream of her always Even when I don't dream Her name's on my tongue And her blood's in my stream
  9. Max hoe capacity is 16. 6 Vic hoes.
  10. What's a good FFL to use in South Austin? Thanks to Mac's post above I'm ordering a 1911 from Palmetto.
  11. Here's a pic of the interior (with the lights on). 10% Surly discount of course.
  12. I'm selling my 40' Cruisers Yacht 3870 if anyone is interested. Asking $75k. It's in the water now at Sail-n-Ski Lakeway, ready to be used. It's a beautiful boat and in great working order. Slip can be transferred.
  13. I was born in Anchorage months after that big '64 earthquake. Nothing shakes me. 9.2 just like South Austin's mom likes. Ash me about it.
  14. The view from my brother’s porch near Willow City
  15. Glad that you are home now and wishing you a full and speedy recovery.
  16. How about Ha Ha Sport Fans dude?
  17. FIFY I'm sure that they will find out which party to blame soon enough.
  18. What's Love got to do with it?
  19. A more likely scenario is that the russian stole the nork's provisions and the nork laughed at him and told him that he was eating dog food.
  20. Kinda fucked up that some of y’all are joking about a local special needs kid getting stabbed to death. And yes, I know where I am.
