Hi fellow Opponauts,

Just curious if any central Texas Opponauts will be going to the Lone Star Roundup or to South Congress on Saturday night next weekend? I always look forward to this event for like six months before it happens, even if there are some snobby rodders and a bunch of people playing rockabilly dressup one day a year. Next…

Naturally, since my first post was about how wrenching on my own car was largely responsible for turning me into a jalop, this second one is the flip side: when things don't go as planned. Hoping someone out there on Oppo might have something to say about this bitch of a situation I find myself in.

With a second ice storm in Austin sandwiched around a gorgeous, 75-degree weekend, I am happily stuck here at home again and it's time to finally make use of the Opponaut status I requested back in November of 2013. Not really sure where to start but you have to start somewhere. I guess I don't have to worry about…
