  1. The kids are gone, Round Rock ain't what it used to be, allergies, blah blah blah...

    I'm going to be selling some stuff that collects dust and am going to put it up here first (before my wife posts on Facebook, Nextdoor, LetGo, etc.).  There will prolly be a few more things going up as we clean/clear out all the crap we've been hoarding.

    First up - 2x acoustic guitars: Epiphone AJ-500MNS (Masterbilt Dreadnought) and Mitchell MO-100S/VS (standard basic 6 string) - will not split as I need 'em to go, asking $450.

    Nobody in our family ever learned how to play, so they're in outstanding shape if quite dusty - the stand goes with them, we don't have any cases.

    Sorry, no USB ports, cup holders or pix of your mom.  I'm in Round Rock.

  2. My daughter goes to MSOE so I go up about 2x times a year.

    For first timers if you're into Harley's go ahead and take the tour there and eat at the restaurant they provide. Old world 3rd street is great but not a full day's worth of activity, but perfect for an evening if you're on a business trip. Another touristy thing to do is the Miller tour but not one I'd enthusiastically endorse.

    Spotted cow is best in the summertime IMO, I always pick up a few cases when I'm up there.  Al speaks the troof on having cheese curds and mixed drinks (bloody mary's yes) - any cheese up there is awesome IF it's fresh and not frozen.

    I would await The Great One's masterpiece with baited breath, but I don't know what bait would work best.  I'm going with shrimp for now.  If that doesn't work, maybe crab next.

    You have crabs?

  4. An undefeated UT absolutely makes it into the CFP in 2019.  A 1 loss B12 Champ UT should make it into the CFP, but leaves it open for debate and disappointment. A regular season undefeated UT that looses the B12 Championship game has absolutely no chance of being in the CFP.

    Tom specifically said that this year the players started pushing themselves instead of the coaches having to push them - we'll see if that carries over to Spring and Summer ball (where championship runs start).

    The focus of 2019 should be B12 Championship with one loss or less.  Nothing else.

    Close - I've always thought that the reason for the Volt (and many other small cars) is that the Auto companies need to meed CAFE standards. So by selling crappy cars for little to no profit, it allows them to sell pickups and large SUV's that have crappy mileage but huge profits.

    Closer than you think - that is actually a quote directly from one of the accountants I've worked with from time to time at GM.  They wrote down a production loss but never claimed the subsidies they later received (which bumped them into the green on the product line).

  6. The reason the volt was built wasn't to make a profit off of customers.  The reason the volt was built was to make a profit off of government subsidies.

     

    GM made a nice profit off of the volt.
