    Make sure your antenna has a good ground, then go and get it tuned. Just use an ohm meter from frame to antenna.

    Anyone who's headed to hidden falls Saturday April 2nd, we can meet up at the JJ's BBQ in Lago Vista that morning. Then from there, its about a 20min ride to Hidden Falls. Let me know what time everyone is feeling.

    Anybody know a good alignment shop in the Austin area? I'd like to use a national shop if I can to buy lifetime alignment in case I move away from Austin. Any suggestions?

    Yeah, it was silver. Driver was mid-20s, short hair, non-hipster. I liked him immediately.

    I thought being smart and a hipster were contradictory.

    A guy will do anything to impress a girl. It has to be allowed, and man-law says it must be forgiven (if she's hot).

    We should be considerate for our misguided brethren, hope the girls are worth it, and serve as living examples in guiding them back into the fold. Or we should riot and burn all skinny jeans - not sure which way to go yet.

    We need to have an evening meet up for the group soon, work has me so tied up on weekends right now. And unfortunately I couldn't make the last Hidden Falls ride because I was down in Big Bend!
    Every Texan needs to make the pilgrimage down there at least once in their lifetime. Between the beautiful mountains, the desert rocks, and the four black bears that we drove past at dusk, it was the best trip I've ever taken. IMG_20160320_081403337.jpgGet There!

    Did you make it to the McDonald observatory? It's fantastic out there.
