  1. As someone above said, if you do the road to Hana consider continuing the entire loop. They make a great burger at the Ulupalakua Ranch store and the Maui Wine Vineyards are nearby. We rented a mustang convertible and the drive on the southern portion of the island was like driving on a go-cart track. The landscape reminded me of Whales with the lush green grasses and stone walls. It was awesome. We stayed at The Westin Ka'anapali Ocean Resort and the snorkeling right from the resort beach was unbelievable. If that's the case where you are staying you might consider packing your own facemasks so you don't have to fool with the rentals. Maui really surprised me. It was one of the best vacations we've taken. It had everything. Have fun!
  2. I use LastPass but concerned that getting hacked on that will be losing the keys to the kingdom. Take advantage of two stage authentication whenever available.
  3. I told my son to always take the first punch.
  4. We had to start feeding our dog inside because of the grackles. Once we started doing that they moved along. They haven't been in our trees for a few years and they used to camp there.
  5. There were140 souls and five crew members onboard that flight to Dallas when the engine exploded. There were also 3 gingers.
  6. Thanks for the info Napoleon. I'll check it out.
  7. Looking to buy a refurbished or used unlocked iPhone 6 in the Austin area. I'm having a hard time finding a storefront with one. On-line isn't a consideration for this purchase. This is for someone visiting from Sudan and this is on his shopping list. Anyone have an idea other than craigslist? Thanks!
  8. We just booked a trip to Cancun for August. Wife is not going to be happy about this. She's been going on and on about the Cancun mayor that got whacked by the cartels about 10 years ago. I finally talked her into going because of the recent bombings in Austin. Making the case that you aren't really safe anywhere - even at home. Now this shit. FML. Seriously, she is going to want to cancel the trip.
  9. Hang in there ROLF BOX. I know it's hard taking care of your mom while the life around you doesn't stop and let you catch up. You'll look back on these rough times and you will know that you did everything that you had to do for your mom and your family. Hang tough buddy.
  10. It was okay. Unremarkable but entertaining.
  11. The two on top push the ashes through to the water bowl when it's done smoking. The others probably aren't really doing anything. I did remove several pucks and move the brisket up to a middle rack from the start. I figured at 20 minutes of smoke per puck I'd need 6 for two hours of smoke. Total time in the smoker was 7 hours. I am having an issue with pucks getting stuck and not dropping which means I do have to keep an eye on it until I figure out what's causing that problem. Sorry about the size of the pics.
  12. Just finished my first brisket on the Bradley. Set it and left it alone. Not bad but I think I over cooked it a little.
  13. Bob Maplethorp, getaway driver. Go!
  14. I took this pic around late 90s early '00s. I also have a video of driving down South Congress around the same time. I'll see if I can find it. I'm sure it's a .mov file which I have no idea what to do with.
  15. Can I be your friend Glen? On another note. I use a Polaris 360 pressure side automatic cleaner that's about 15 years old and I've Frankensteined the crap out of over the last 5 years. It works okay for the most part but eventually ties itself in a knot. I named it Castro. The pump for the Polaris was replaced about 3 years ago. The last pool pro that came over to work on something (it's always something) told me that there is a lot better equipment available today.... robotic stuff. Less kinky. What are ya'll using?
  16. I haven't tried any of the arcade games within the game. What do they do?
