    Put me in the camp we are going to 681. The dock guys are loving this, lots of work for them. LCRA sucks at their projections

    There is still 17% capacity left to fill to get to 681. There is still a lot of water coming in, but the worst is over.

    LT is still 18.5' low.  That's a lot of capacity, with much more room than than the last 18 feet.

    It's 18.5' from full. It's not 18.5' low. I'd be really interested in knowing what LCRA targets as "ideal" at different points of the year.

  3. I am a certified ref, although I only ref about 15-20 games a year. The handball rule is one of the most subjective rules of the game. I ref lots of 7v7 games because I spend many hours as a volunteer and coach at that age group so I tend to migrate there as a ref, and the number of parents that go apoplectic anytime a handball isn't called makes me laugh. One time I stopped the game when parents were going apeshit and asked if any of them could tell me what the handball rules were, and if the answer was "the ball hits their hand", they were wrong.  Crickets.

    I actually agreed the Mexico handball wasn't a penalty. You are allowed to brace yourself when you fall.

    Made these a few weekends ago. Wanted to make some Asian style ones so used the pictured sauce as I had never used it before but heard great things about it. Didn’t disappoint

    I love that sauce.  Been thinking it would make a good glaze on pork, but didn't want to burn the sugar in it.  When did you add the sauce to the meat?

  5. We come to CB for 3-4 weeks every summer.  We're currently on our last week of a 3 week trip.  Late July-early August will mean just about any hiking trail in the area will be accessible because the snow will have all melted.  We've done a couple high elevation hikes that were a little muddy, but not too bad.  The rivers are running pretty low, which means in 3-4 weeks will be even lower.  But there is still good fishing to be had.

    If you are a hiker, I could fill your week with nothing but hiking suggestions.  If anyone in your family likes to mountain bike, I can tell you all the good trails.  The mountain itself has incredible downhill trails.  There are bike jumps in town and a skate park where bikes are welcome.  My boys and I can kill an entire afternoon at those 2 spots.  If you like to disc golf, there's a course on the mountain.

    Will you be in an SUV with 4WD or AWD?  That will change some of my suggestions as far as hiking is concerned.

    If you have a SUP, that opens up more possibilities as well.

    Lots of places around here to sit with a cold beer and enjoy an unbelievable view.

    Anybody got Kathy Griffin? That loon is off the rails...

    Kathy Griffin wears a Kathy Griffin shirt?

    She always struck me as the type of person that went to comedy to be self depreciating because she had no self esteem. She wasn't funny at all, but somehow she became somewhat successful.  And then her low self esteem took over and she kept chasing some look that was never gonna happen for her. Holy fuck that is frightening.

  7. Haven't seen it, but I want to.  The buildup for this reminds me of when Days of Thunder came out.  It's just Top Gun in a racecar.

    Well, Top Gun was awesome, so sign me the fuck up.

    Saw an article criticizing F1 because it's the same director as TG: Maverick, and it tries to be that in an F1 car.

    Well, TG: Maverick was awesome, so sign me the fuck up.  We need more movies like that.

  8. We've been listening to the audiobook as a family, and we all love it.  Made it about 3/4 of the way through on our drive to Colorado a week ago.  Can't wait to finish it, but that's going to wait 2 weeks when we drive home.

    They’ve got some cosmopolitan types who are mighty fine. But otherwise….yeah. As the boy has described them, with a sigh, “they’re all short, round, and orange.” The fake tan makeup they put on to cover up their paleness…it’s not good. Find a pretty and posh one, avoid the orange ones.

  10. I mean, that legacy formula is beyond stupid.

    Lebron win a title with 3 DIFFERENT teams.  One of them being the Cavs.  That is remarkable.

    Tom Brady going to the Bucs and winning a SB knocked him below Terry Bradshaw in the eyes of dipshit Acho.  I'm embarrassed that guy went to Texas.

    Finally,

    Quinn once was a bond villain.

    Mind blown. I've seen FRWL 50 times i bet. Easily a top 2-3 Bond movie for me.  I can't believe I didn't know this. Lol

  12. Longhorn Meat Market in far South Austin.

    Their website isn't kept up to date as far as what's in stock, but if you call they can tell you if they have something or when they'll have more.

    They have lots of styles to choose from--beef, pork, "regular", flavored.  Beef and sage is my favorite around the holidays to have on hand.  Venison and wild boar jalapeno cheese might be my favorite overall.

    Levon WAS Loretty’s papa in Coal Miner’s Daughter. “Don’t do it, Loretty.  Don’t thow yore young laff aweigh.  Girl, you’re my shinin pradd. Stay in Butcher Holler.”  I had no idea that was Levon Helm until I read it somewhere.  Made me feel like a fool! I thought they rounded up a coon hunter from fown the holler somewhere.  He was so beautifully authentic.

    Holy hell, I had no idea that was Levon Helm.  I just googled it, which led me to find out this old guy in Shooter was him as well.

    Ooooh, they landed a booster on the deck of a barge.  NASA put men on the fucking moon, dipshit.

    And got them home. That's always been the most amazing part of the whole thing to me.

    It’s not, I just don’t want them ringing the bell. Amazon doesn’t do it, FedEx doesn’t do it. Just UPS. 

    I bet it has something to do with reducing the rate of stolen packages due to porch pirates.

    Ring the bell, have the people inside come get their package. Transaction complete and everybody's happy.

    If I was a driver, I wouldn't think twice about your sign if that was our policy. I'm alerting you to something I dropped off on your porch---I'm not selling you anything.

    But if I knew it irritated you, I'd ring it 10 times and run:) That's just me going the extra mile

    I had a simple No Soliciting sign that worked probably 95% of the time, but up to 100% since I upgraded to this (a version like it anyway).

    Fucking UPS still knocks or ring the bell though. They’re the only ones. 

    How is UPS dropping off a package soliciting?

  17. Was the $3M what the other candidates were asking for, or that's the Earley buyout that was too high?

    I'm pretty sure firing Earley would cost them $3M + $700k to fire the assistant HC/pitching coach + whatever the incoming coach buyout would be + a big contract to convince a coach at a real school to come to College Station where the Athletic Department is currently a dumpster fire.  They were always going to retain Earley.  This is Trev Alberts we're talking about.

    The funniest part of this may be that Earley just got a raise of $50k for the upcoming season.

    Job well done!
