  1. Just replaced my Polaris 280 with a new one for $410 with all new hoses and everything included. eBay running 20% off today. Thought it was a great deal since these used to run $600-800. Granted that was 10 years ago.
  2. Okay... from Texas.gov Special Circumstances Out of State Motorists If your vehicle is currently out of state and you are unable to complete a Texas vehicle inspection in order to renew your registration, you may self-certify that the vehicle is out of state and will be permitted to register online, by mail, or in person. If you renew your vehicle registration using the out-of-state self-certification option, a remark will be placed on your vehicle record indicating that an inspection is still due. Once you return to the state, you must complete a Texas vehicle inspection within three days of arrival at your home, duty station, or destination. It is very important that you keep the VIR issued after completing your inspection in case you are stopped by law enforcement before the remark is removed from your vehicle record, which takes about 48 hours. The remark will be removed only upon payment of the state’s portion of the inspection fee and verification of inspection at your county tax office.
  3. I’m probably wrong, but I don’t think you can proceed with paying for the registration online unless the approved inspection has gone through first.
  4. I've bought a few things recently and gave them to her to give to me on Father's Day. Audio Technica Turntable Anova Sous Vid 2nd Gen WIFI enabled immersion cooker John Prine's newest limited edition LP
  5. I have a 6s and after the latest update my touch screen is borked. Sometimes it wont react to my touch at all and other times it will make unwanted selections when my finger is near the glass. Is this common? My screen was replaced last year with a non-apple replacement.
  6. I used to stay at the Tremont all the time. Had a regular room on the 4th floor at the end of the hall. Would stash a bottle of Weller on top of the armoire and it would be waiting for me the next trip. Nice and quiet. Cool hotel. The limo at the Galvez will pick you up and take you back and forth if you want some pool time. Drank some tequila with Kinky Friedman while we watched a Rangers game at the big ass bar in the Tremont lounge. Then head over to the Pearl for a dozen shucked and some shrimp diablo. I love Galveston.
  7. That cop needs to lose his job.
  8. I bought my wife's engagement ring through USAA's diamond buying services. Pricing strictly related to 4c's above. The only requirement that I had was that it needed to be bigger than her sisters' rings. Home-run. My wife eventually took the rock to a favorite jeweler in Austin and had it remounted in a custom setting.
  9. Doing it all wrong and it’s going to be spectacular!
  10. Spring for FM. AM is only talk radio these days.
  11. I'll be contributing to this thread tomorrow... can't wait.
  12. Looking for a landscape sprinkler repair guy for S/W Austin. Need some heads replaced and system tune-up.

  14. Got mine replaced around 2010 and it rumbles and knocks like a got damn freight train. Service tech said he wouldn't flush it because of the risk of damaging things down stream. You would think that the thing was on its last leg but it keeps on rocking. I'm not sure what the failure point will be to end its life but I'm ready to shoot it myself.
  15. Thanks but ended up getting a 6s plus off of facebook marketplace for $200. Like new as far as I could tell. Thanks again.
  16. Anyone know the whereabouts of Bea Arthur?
