  1. Man, if there were no truth to it, I think Fred would just laugh and say "no, it's not a thing." So this response is... well... as close to confirmation as we're likely to get, unless/until T-Swizzle shows up in the Aston Martin garage on raceday.
  2. Ever since the USGP came to COTA, I've been just skipping the UT game and staying at the track all day. If UT is playing they'll typically have it on TV in Velocity Lounge, the hospitality tents, the biergarten TVs, etc. I spent the afternoon of our OT loss to Oklahoma State at the biergarten with a bunch of rowdy ozzies who were doing a bachelor party/walkabout, and the USGP was part of their itinerary (they were headed to Vegas on the following Monday). They were getting really into our game just because WE were into the game, and when it went into OT they were losing their minds and buying rounds of drinks for everyone. But then the game abruptly ended when we fumbled or threw an INT or some other stupid failure, and they were stunned. They were like, "wait, that's it? It can go into OT, and then just be... OVER?" I said, "yup." But we still drank a lot more beer with them and then wandered out to the esses for qualy I think.
  3. Tucker Carlson seem like he sucks.
  4. How 'bout an IROC at an F1 racetrack with all the F1 drivers, in Camaro Z28s.
  5. Adam Lambert has been Queen's de facto Freddie Mercury substitute for about a decade now. So, if you're getting Queen, you're also getting Adam Lambert. I've seen live concert footage of that combination and it's not bad, but it's obviously not the same. Last few years they're not doing folks as big as Sting on Sunday, more like Kool and the Gang, KC and the Sunshine Band, etc.

    Pluto TV

    If they have a Food Network type channel that actually has cooking shows instead of bullshit reality TV and/or boring ass competition shows, and an HGTV-type channel that actually has home improvement/design shows instead of bullshit reality TV and/or boring ass competition shows, then count me in!
  7. I mean, with cars actually made by the drivers. Award WDC points for podium finish of 3,2,1 points. I'm in.
  8. AKA, Austin weather, all the time, for all time.
  9. Agree, it seems like a strange plan but if their BBQ is good, then I'll certainly give them a try.
  10. Yeah... that definitely wasn't our experience with prom back in the day. Maybe things are different here in Texas now, but back in my high school days, nobody's parents saw them on prom night from the time you picked up your date and took pictures at her house, to the time you returned her home the next morning after a night in a hotel room if you were lucky enough to have an older brother that could secure one...
  11. Lulz. Poster on the Texas BBQ thread: I'm looking for some Texas BBQ suggestions in Area X Surly on the Texas BBQ thread: Here's a suggestion for NOT A BBQ Restaurant in Area X Poster: Thanks, but I'm specifically looking for Texas BBQ in Area X, but thanks anyway for the suggestion Surly: Oh yeah, you should definitely go to NOT A BBQ Restaurant in Area X. Poster: Uhhhhh.....
  12. You can look at the streamflows on hydromet to see if any of it is moving downstream. Anything in the hundreds of CFS is pretty minimal, won't make a difference in the lake, unfortunately. I'm sure that the ground was pretty dry and absorbed much of the rain, so there just isn't enough runoff to make it downstream. Now, if we were to get ANOTHER rain event like that within the next few days, there'd be a lot more runoff. THAT is how we get the lake levels rising. We're looking for those streamflows to get into the multi-thousands of CFS, all over the basin, to be effective. On the map below, the aqua blue color represents the Lake Travis basin.
  13. Not just the Highland lakes, but it's directly in the Lake Travis basin, which is really good for those of us in the Austin area. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they got a ton of widespread rain all over the western part of the basin. But one gauge north of Fredericksburg reads 2.63" which is something, anyway.
  14. I thought it was pretty well accepted she wrote the song about Harry Styles, who she was dating shortly before she wrote the song and released the album? I'll admit one of my shameful secrets, is that I'm a huge Taylor Swift fan. Her show at COTA is in my top 5 of all time, and I've been backstage for Johnny Cash and I saw U2 live on the Joshua Tree tour... I'm skeptical but I'd be cool with my favorite racecar driver dating my favorite pop star.
  15. Big fat rain drops and very small hail just now at my house in the part of CP in northwest Travis. But still very light precip overall.
  16. Yeah I don't believe the COTA numbers for obvious reasons, was more interested in anecdotal reporting from those of you who have been for MotoGP over the years.

    Tex Mex

    Oh yeah Vazquez is really good. But definitely don't think they make their own tortillas. Honestly if "homemade tortillas" is your single most important criterion, then Taco Cabana is the place to go. The rest of their food sucks now but the tortillas are still good.
  18. Yeah mine was built in 2010 and the pickup still barely fits. I have to back it in so the rear part of the bed hangs over the concrete step at the back of the garage. The garage door clears the nose by 0.0003 inches.
  19. I went ahead and cleared out the garage so both cars can fit inside, so it is now guaranteed NOT to hail. You're all welcome.
