    Nice! We're Going to Reno in June for bowling and was thinking of hitting up Lake Tahoe for a few days beforehand.

    It is worth it.

    There is a big Auto Museum in Reno that was cool. Other than that we weren't overly impressed with the city.



    Words and pictures don't do it justice.

    A little something every chance we get.
    Hey Cap! You asked about the tablet on the RAV4? If you had a touch screen of any kind it's way better! If you didn't, it's flat awesome! (SWIDT?)

    I didn't, but appreciate the input. I'm slowly trying to convince the missus to get the hybrid version to replace her Prius (which is too damn low to the ground).

    Careful, it you successfully make the argument you will no longer do any deep knee bends and you will start to lose that flexibility.

    Or something like that..... ;)

    What size are these, they look awesome! I like how Cooper is catching up with some of the others with the side biters.

    Well, there are 3 Polvo's, and they are all Mexican restaurants. If it was the one on South 1st, it was 8 miles. He still threw 2 lives away...

    Google Maps failed me - it only showed me one.

    Makes sense with distance traveled. I can't imagine having that BAC level and making it that far.

    Agreed. The guy he took out had his own challenges in life, from reading his obituary, but certainly deserved a better fate.

    The missus and I complain about that road all the time.
    - 7 lanes wide when factoring shoulders and center turn
    - Not nearly enough illumination street lights
    - Not nearly enough cross-street traffic lights
    - Blind left turns against traffic close to bends in the road
    - Speed limit too high (55)
    - No safe pedestrian crossings for 3/4 mile
    - No city bus service
    - Too many bars in close proximity with inadequate parking

    Yet the city council wants to turn it into the next Rainey Street. They need to get over themselves - those kind of places evolve, they aren't created.

    COVID’s in ATX y’all - initiating elbow bumps now.

    Stay safe, don’t touch your face, and by all means don’t touch Chad’s face!





    Even though we know you want to.

    Costco in Austin, posted a few minutes ago by a friend on FB, and 40 minutes before the place opens. I commented "Idiots.", and she deleted my comment. I guess she took the picture while standing in line... :bananadead: :rofl::rofl::rofl:
