  1. There's always been a no wake zone there, it just didn't extend all the way across the lake from shore to shore. And they also lengthened it, when they extended it. Agree that it's pretty annoying now, and that there's no need for it to extend all the way to the far shore.
  2. Yeah a pure open frame is really, really loud. Just looked and it looks like the standard Champion open frame runs around 68 dBA. The quietest inverter generators run between 58-60 dBA. And the Champion "inverter open frame" mentioned above, is about 64dBA. Keep in mind that decibel scale is logarithmic and not linear, so the difference from that quiet generator at 58 dBA, and the loud open-frame at 68 dBA, is 10X. The loud one is 10X louder. So the "inverter open frame" is somewhere in between those two.
  3. Running thoughts on the last 24 hours of posting: 1) I think Wilson Philips Hold On probably wins so far /thread 2) Spacehog is awesome 3) Duran Duran is a tight musical act that had some great songs, don't belong on this thread 4) I really like Gin Blossoms. 5) That Sophie B Hawkins tune was extremely listenable even though it was way overplayed. 6)The Doja Cat entries are definitely in, what I consider to be, the spirit of this thread.
  4. They should definitely enforce the no wake zone underneath Pennybacker bridge. What happened to all those asshole Game Wardens that used to descend on Lake Austin when Lake Travis got low? They're almost entirely useless, except they love to enforce stuff like that. I guess it's one of those, never see a cop when you need one, kind of things.
  5. Honda and Yamaha have traditionally been the cream of the crop. HOWEVER In recent years, the off-brands are really coming into their own. I've had a Champion 3200 for about 6 years, absolutely no issues. And believe it or not, the Harbor Freight 3500 I bought last-minute two years ago (because I forgot that I'd loaned out my Champion), has been great. It successfully runs all the 30A requirements on my RV, and during Icepocalypse 2023, my SIL lost power for almost a week, and it ran pretty much non-stop that entire time, with no issues at all. Anyway, I wouldn't shy away from the Champion or some of the other off-brands, just because they're not Hondas and Yamahas. Ten years ago I wouldn't have said that, but I've had really good experiences with the Champion and the Predator (Harbor Freight). Just one thing to note-- to hit that <$500 price point on a Champion 4000W dual fuel, you're looking at what they're calling an "inverter open frame." I don't have any experience with that. The standard open frame ones, are incredibly loud and will make you hate your life. Standard inverter ones, are all closed-in and don't have that open frame, and they're much quieter. But an "inverter open frame" is something I've never used and don't know anything about. Definitely worth checking its specs and if possible listening to one in real time. Good luck!
  6. The ags have only managed to win 33% of games actually played against Texas, but they've won 100% of games never played.
  7. Word. And whoever posted Mad About You-- I fell in love with Belinda Carlisle in that video. Here's a recent guilty pleasure song, I don't like Harry Styles all that much but this one gets stuck in my brain all the time:
  8. Allagash White is delicious, their other Belgian style beers are very good as well. And I absolutely love Portland, Maine.
  9. Oh you don't have to convince me, I love my F150 with the FX4 and the the 3.5 ecoboost. No experience with the hybrid but I really love my truck. I'm glad we have both that, and the Wrangler Rubicon. The 3.6L works fine for us but I suppose the JT probably weighs a bit more.
  10. Ah, we got some kind of freaking clown in here. You think you're funny ha-ha?
  11. I'm assuming you had the 3.6L V6 but the JT also has the 3L turbo diesel available. Do you think the extra torque from the 3L turbo-diesel would have helped driving through the hill country?
  12. Well at least it's a BONELESS beef brisket, they didn't try to saddle you with all those bones that normally come in a packer.
  13. RIP Swinging Door, I am sorry for your loss... ...but... is that sweet 'n' sour sauce all over the food in that bottom pic?
  14. Someone I know came pretty close to going to jail that night...
  15. Please oh please make this a thing!
  16. negged No johnnyff anywhere near Dallas ever. The End.
  17. I saw a video of a dude making solid-body electric guitars out of skateboards, I'm assuming it's the same guy. Looked very cool.
  18. We all knew the moment they announced it, that those rubes had zero understanding of how NIL works. They kept on repeating "Everything's legal now, and the state laws trump everything else." Riiiiiight.
  19. Just for reference, the "What The Fuck Is Wrong With You Westlake" thread is over there ----------------->
  20. Well then I wanna see some freaking 6-wheeled cars get rolled out. Let's turn this mutha out!
  21. Here's our 10-day forecast:
