Some folks will only go to the best tasting place (like Snows or Truth) and forget about wait/price/parking/commute variables. Myself, I’m willing to bend on taste if there is value on so,w of the other variables. For example, I prefer Truth but Feges on Long Point is my most frequented bbq joint due to convenience and lack of wait time. I say that because for years, I’ve still had Rudy’s on a once a year rotation due to convenience….and nostalgia. I used to frequent the Rudy’s near Barton Creek mall regularly for like a decade back before the bbq revolution. Anyways, I will never go again. Two visits in a row where if you gave their brisket to me at a buddy’s house, I’d ask how long he boiled it for. And it was $27. My normal Feges order is $26 and Truth is $31. RIP Rudy’s. It was a nice run.
I had micro center build me a gaming PC back in June. They told me I got lucky because the memory or cpu or some shit had just dropped by a couple hundred that day (tariff or something they said).
anyways, I wonder how much more it would have been today.
So to make sure I understand, Ames is still above Burton, right? I hope so.
and since you are the coach, why no dub sub and no Devin? I don’t know why but I enjoy her in game.
To boost the probability that Project 89 would become a success for me, decided to make a launch monitor in my garage. Uneekor Eye Mini Lite with all the fixins (screen, HD projector, gaming computer built by some dorks at Microcenter, etc).
So far I love it. Don’t have enough space to hit a driver but can hit every other club and I love the data and not having to drive anywhere to hit 75 balls. Look forward to fall when garage isn’t baking.
ps I still suck but am slowly improving
Was in that area for a week and loved it so lucky you. I hate winters so would never go hence why it is tough to justify buying a place (and I don’t want t to be an out of state landlord again). And I’ve never looked so this area might be out of my price range anyways if what I paid for my rental there at like $500/night if I recall.
But do let me know if any buddy of yours ever wants to rent out their place for two months in summer or something, ha. I’ll start looking at price points in two years most likely when reality of this becoming true is a bit closer.
Ok, even though this summer has been great by TX standards, my wife and I agreed we only have a couple more summers of Texas left in us, ideally not spending mid-June to Labor Day here anymore. We are not Surly 1%ers (eliminates Aspen mountain-top cabin for three months) but we also eliminated a mobile home in Eight Mile so looking for the sweet spot in-between those options.
We have also traveled a lot of the north-ish with exception of Michigan. But Maine to Washington, our favorite is def Wyoming/Montana followed by Maine adjacent.
For all of us looking to leave dat heat for a season, any recommendations with reasonable budget? Dream scenario is some ski area that has reduced rent in summer so condo rentals are cheap (mammoth sorta checks box here).
Do you migratory little birds buy or just long term rent? Do you always go back to same place or rotate?
Yeah I watched Bunton not jump once and setter took advantage of her laziness and scored and then another time with Dev on tandem block, she was good four to five inches lower than Dev. Point being is as impressive as Swindle was in person, Bunton was the opposite.
Fun atmosphere. About 60% longhorn fans.
From game perspective, besides first set, lot of fun. Takeaways were Swindle is much taller and more physical in person than I thought. Stanford and Spears hit hard. Bunton is slow and doesn’t get up like everyone else around her.
I was in MBA school when we had to analyze recently issued unknown stocks while some groups were tasked with shitting on the other groups analysis.
Well this one stock called Netflix was undeniably a winner and no one could solidly shit on it. All the other new stocks had glaring weaknesses of one kind or another so I took all the spare money I had at the time and put it into Netflix because I believed in it so much. Great news, I tripled my money and got out quickly because I’m great at analysis and bought a couch or something. A whole couch.
That same very little amount of money would be worth many millions now.
I also went to this game to visit Stanford for grad school and watch the game. Worked at Enron at the time and they paid for all grad school visits so why the F not.
Atmosphere and game were terrible but I do remember the positives: tiger and the fact that we were told ahead of time that security doesn’t check anything so we were able to bring in full bottles of liquor into the game and no one cared.
