  1. At 22, fresh out of UT, I was sent on a few trips to London and India for work. My bosses forced me to drink a bunch of high-end gins. I was used to guzzling low quality Long Island Ice Teas at the Buffalo Club at 1:55 am....yet still, I hated gin. Fast forward a couple trips and I became convinced you ain't a drinker if you don't like gin. It's the drinking man's drink.
  2. Ftr, I ain't a Pappasito's detractor even though I wrote apparent tex mex blasphemy---one that I will fall on a sword for btw. Their butter sauce + fajitas, tortilla soup, and queso are all legit and regulars for me. It's just that the salsa is marginally better than taco bell packets.
  3. Since you brought it up...pappasitos salsa is average at best. For premium prices, don't give me inferior salsa. And their chips always need salt.
  4. Buffs burger in Houston is good. But lately, been liking Mia's cheeseburger. Sorta has a high quality burger from a little league field (somehow, that's a compliment) taste to it. Buffs is a touch more natural and organic to me, which is and isn't always a good thing.
  5. Did you have a main switch to turn power off at sub panel to install? Or did you have to turn off main switch at main panel to make sure no electricity running to sub panel?
  6. Just got the Polaris Rzr greatest. Reading the maintenance schedule and says change oil after 10 hours of first use. Ummm, do yall follow recommendations on oil changes and such? Am I alone in thinking gtfo with changing oil after 10 hours of use or am I acting like my wife who won't change oil in car until something burns?
  7. I have eaten and pissed at Hruska's in Ellinger 1,453 times or so. Very decent cheeseburgers, btw, on top of quality kolaches. However, I have never tried Peter's BBQ just 2 businesses down. Anyone tried it?
  8. Well, I'll let you know what's up in mid to late March
  9. How big a property do you have? I only have 7.5 acres and am worried too small. There are country roads, I guess though.
  10. This is far smaller than what you're looking for but I just bought a Polaris rzr 170 side by side for two small daughters. I still have no clue if I made a good call but it's a couple weeks before I get it. I'm banking on fact that it's got ridiculous high resale value if they hate it or never use it.
  11. I had longhorn games as a priority from 1994-2019. Maybe missed 5 total games in that span. Herman coaching and Sam playing fullback didn't make me be anti-UT...but all of a sudden in 2020, I would go with my wife to my daughter's play dates and soccer games that I normally would get out of 11 or 12x a year because the family became a higher priority on fall Saturdays. All I ask is for Sark to let me ignore my family again for a few months. Make the world right again.

    I've been doing this exact recipe for probably 20 years. No egg though, so maybe not exact. So good.
  13. I live in area and place is now a staple in lunch rotation, maybe every 2 weeks. With that said, it's not fantastic. Just good. Also convenient with drive-thru. So no one should drive long distance for it. truth and pinkerton's much better but this is far more convenient and half the price. So value is there

    My dad used to make me shoot raw quail eggs. If memory serves, he would put worcestershire sauce and salt in it or something
  15. Yep. It was also mid afternoon so temps were increasing so who knows
  16. Live in Houston where half block are new homes and half 1950s originals. We all lost power for 36 hours. At 37th hour, almost simultaneously, my two neighbors in older homes had attic pipes burst. A slew of us lucky ones spent a couple hours helping them clean up the mess. Luckily, it was not whole house but they each lost a large rectangular portion of their ceiling and items under said ceiling. Now, they are looking for places to live for a few weeks.
  17. Sorry for dumb question but....do you find out oil switch is bad at regular tuneup or when you need it and it won't start? I'd imagine reliability is key spec on these things And how old is yours? Thanks
  18. Bump. Anyone have new thoughts on this? I wouldn't mind buying one if it's a selling point for future home sale etc. If not, diesel generator works too.
  19. Doesn't CDC know it may rain on April 24th? Horrible choice and he should know better.
  20. Is it a bad time to admit how much I used to love the County Line wheat bread with honey butter?
  21. Turned down MIT for UT. F the cold. Do not ragret.
  22. Want covid and salt? Cuz I'm here to make sure you have to touch every single square inch of this salt shaker with two hands.
  23. What pisses me off more than this? Why do I have to hit an extra button to tell automated gas stations that I don't want a receipt? Shouldnt default be to no and the weird people that say yes should go through more steps? It's 2021...make paper pushers press extra buttons somehow, not regular people.
  24. How dare you. He sings the eyes of texas, man.
  25. Glad you brought this up. I used to live in NYC and hated this about some restaurants and bars....line outside, you wait a couple minutes, then they let you into a bar that was half full, like if there was social distancing in early 2000s. They made you wait juuuust long enough for someone else to come in line and replace you to create false perception of demand. Rinse and repeat. Anyways, I feel bbq places have the anti-chicfila culture as well and drives me nuts.
