    Such memories. The little strip center at Burnet and North Loop had a WInn's and a Handy Andy. 

    Our Handy Andy was at Anderson and Rockwood next to the Village, and our Winn's was over at Burnet/Anderson lane in the strip center next to original Dart Bowl.  Played a lot of Asteroids and then Star Wars at that Handy Andy, when I couldn't manage to get over to the Gold Mine in Northcross Mall.

    same time, coming from the same direction as yesterday. lets make it a f'n habit. 

    I sure hope it's not the same result as yesterday, where nobody west of 360 got shit-- including the lakes.

    The "King" is all coked and roided out of his head.  I would love to see him roll against ANYONE that is a high level BJJ fighter.  Love him or not, Rogan is a black belt in Gi and no-Gi and would twist him up in a matter of minutes.

  5. Absolutely zero rain here in NW Travis County.  A solid line of red and yellow coming up from the SE for an hour, and then just vanished when it hit the Lake Travis recharge zone.  Womp womp.

    Had no idea this was the 50th, but we're having folks over tomorrow night and we're projecting the movie on my inflatable screen and we'll watch it from the pool.  Inspired by the old Alamo Drafthouse roadshows of course.  I've ordered the appropriate inflatable sharks and whatnot.  Unfortunately I can't fit a bigger boat, in the pool.

    Our teenagers have never seen it, neither have most of their friends who are coming over.  

    I don't have any Falstaff beer, but I do have bourbon and saltines.  I'll also have brisket and ribs.  Gonna be a hoot.  Yeah I said hoot.

    Jaws night was awesome.  Our kids invited over some friends, and we had about 20 kids in the pool and hot tub watching the movie, after annihilating 13 lbs of brisket and 3 racks of pork spareribs.

    We also had a few of our adult friends, including our new next door neighbors who brought over a bottle of Japanese single malt 12 year, that I later found out was like $180.  It was delicious and we destroyed it within about 45 minutes.

    The amount I've heard the amount of enriched uranium they had is 400 kg give or take.  You could haul that in the back of your 1-ton dually.

    In theory, sure, but I assume there's some sort of containment around the radioactive, corrosive, and chemotoxic material.

    I wonder how much fame he cost himself?  I'm not trying to belabor the point, but I think he's a better player and equal singer to Gary Clark, Jr., and probably a better songwriter.  (I might revisit that last claim.)  Gary's an international star who is set for life.  Ian . . . well, not.

    I do remember some of his blistering sets at clubs like Steamboat and Liberty Lunch.  Those were crazy days for Austin guitar -- Eric Johnson blowing out eardrums, etc.

    And Lee Person playing the 311, too.  What a great time to be around.

    Seen him a couple of times over the past year as he was starting to put on more shows... one at SXSW at last year at the Austin Music Awards.  His playing is so spot on.  Haven't been to these either but might opt for this on Thursday instead of the Drop-In.

    Yeah he's finally released his first album on vinyl and we bought a copy of it and had him autograph it that night at Antone's, dedicated to our 17yo daughter who has become a huge Ian Moore fan in recent years.  She couldn't go to that show because she's underage but I think we'll plan on taking her to this one, plus it's free!

    I was at that game with a bunch of my friends. We went to HEB and got a bunch of $5 endzone tickets. Still amazed that was once something you could do.

    Mid-Late 80s and early 90s were such a great time to watch a Longhorn football game.

    Aside from the lack of winning, of course.

    I see a massive multi-multi-million-dollar engineering feat that could be defeated by a missile or drone.  That looks so vulnerable.

    Yup.  If they attempted the crossing it would be a massacre.  A literal bloodbath.
