that's a lovely build you got for your closet Clint D.  You need some greens & yellows.  You got blue & red covered.

Thanks Monday!  I do need a little more variety in there.  Hopefully once I rebound financially from the house remodel, I can pick some up.

My 16 and 92 are currently in the hands of the most beautiful woman in town. They will be shortened because I can not live with 29.5 and 29" lengths…

[ohighyo]

Post some pics when you get them seul . I want to see how they shorten it

[Seul]

Poorly. But I don't care.

If the President is flying into the airport at the same time as you, you're gonna have a bad time. About to land in Austin and the pilot says,"Sorry folks, Air Force One is comin in. We're going to Houston."

Thankfully, we just got gas and took off again.

[mclaincausey]

It is miserable. It is really cool to see the thing take off though.

Pretty sure you posted a Louis CK bit about a similar scenario, urb.

He and the First Lady were here yesterday.  Apparently, their motorcade left hours of traffic snarls in its wake.  Fun times.

[mclaincausey]

Thanks, Obama.

Most of the time he takes Marine One around DC, but sometimes his damn motorcade jacks everything up here.  I always know its the Presidential Motorcade because there's always an ambulance at the end, and usually guys with guns hanging out the windows. They block every cross-street for 5 minutes before and after, and you really see just how big the bubble is that POTUS lives in.

I saw Bush's (the second one) motorcade come through Austin years ago and it was quite the spectacle. The amount of limos, suburbans and helicopters was mind blowing especially with the northbound and southbound lanes empty.

Welcome to Texas Urbs, I look forward to grabbing some drinks with you! It would be even better if Chris could make it.
