  1. What do these events have to do with the Alabama football team?
  2. Bourdain's net worth was $1.2 million which seems surprisingly low to me. He also included his daughter's nanny in the will. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/anthony-bourdains-will-reveals-net-worth-of-1-2m/
  3. I have a bunch of Wyndham reward points that are going to expire on me so I booked four nights over Thanksgiving weekend in New Orleans. I chose NO because we can drive from Austin instead of flying. In other words I'm Dutch. I just realized that that weekend is The Bayou Classic - Grambling State and Southern University. We just wanted to chill, eat some good food, and go to the WWII museum. I spent a weekend in the French Quarter during the Essence Festive in the 90's so this type of event isn't going to keep me away necessarily. But back then I was young, high, and very drunk - which is a great way to go through life. Now I'm old, sober, and with my wife. Should we reconsider? If we reconsider, do any of you have a suggestion for a nice Wyndham property within driving distance of Austin? We' would consider San Antonio Riverwalk but we've done that so many times.
  4. South Austin - I’ve been happy with Auto Tek off of Ben White near Congress. Good guys and quality work. I’ve had a Ford and Jeep worked on there.
  5. My father-in-law just moved to Gains Ranch in Southwest Austin for around $4k /mo for a independent living unit. It’s nice. No nursing but meals included. Lots of activities and social interaction.
  6. Then you should consider changing your avatar. If you end up getting an IPad, I’ve been really happy with my zagg Bluetooth keyboard that doubles as a case.
  7. I downloaded ATT Call Protect app but it looks like you need at least an Iphone 8. App said I couldn't proceed because I didn't have 'digital voice' activated.
  8. I have a buddy that was a Navy JAG officer that volunteered for two tours of duty in Dessert Storm. He always joked that he was in it for the lifetime $2 bourbon and cokes at the local VFW.
  9. 1. Report you identity stolen 2. Buy high end stuff and ship it to a Amazon locker in Odessa. Pick it up using his one-off name 3. Profit
  10. Why don’t you man up Asssman and go fuck his shit up? Asssman.
  11. It’s blowing sideways here in southwest Austin. And by “it” I mean hot air.
  12. Thirty ain’t old.
  13. Your mom was charging $80 for 60 minutes but I only needed 5 so threw her $10 and said keep the change. But yeah... fantastic TV for several decades.
  14. Wear rubber gloves, goggles, and a smock because that can get nasty pulling the snake back in. Poo flinging spectacular. A poo flinging war in which you are certainly the looser. Shit-tastic. Poo-rific. Enjoy.
  15. $26 from Amazon General Pipe Cleaners R-25SM Spin Thru Drain Auger with 1/4-Inch by 25-Feet Cable
  16. I’m bothered that the panic bar didn’t open the back door eh. The Mounties need to look see into that eh. You know?
  17. Fuck no. Raising Arizona is perfect.
  18. Do you know why girls don't drink beer on the beach?.... they get sand in their Schlitz. ba-doom-ding ... Seriously though, How is your laptop not getting destroyed by all of that windblown salt air and sand? One hotel not being mentioned is the Harbor House at Pier 21. I stayed there last week and the rooms are very nice and the location provides quick access to all the restaurants near the Strand.
  19. What then?
  20. If you end up buying that pump with the filter that you need, I recommend that you keep the pump just in case. The pump in my machine went out last month and I was able to replace it in about two hours using YouTube as my guide. Damn near had to take the whole thing apart to get to it.
  21. I went to red rocks in 1986 to see Jimmy Buffett. This was the road in back then.
