February 4, 20223 yr Popular Post Speaking of I probably shouldn’t share this story but I’m gonna anyway. After a breakfast of some yogurt, a granola bar and some leftover garlic cheese grits, I was playing with my grandson in the garage, letting him fool around in the back of my truck and stuff and I let loose a tremendous fart. It echoed off the metal garage doors and he started crying. Not because of the smell, it was just so loud it scared him. I think he thought he shit his own pants. He finally calmed down a bit, then the smell hit him and he started crying again. That time I knew he meant it because his eyes were watering. I took him back inside and it was all good after that.
February 4, 20223 yr Popular Post Post the recipe! Soak a pound of beans overnight.Sauté a bell pepper, an onion, several stalks of celery, a bunch of garlic. Add the beans, a ham hock, and about a pound of sausage, and a bay leaf, cover with water. Simmer for 3-4 hours or so till done and thickened. Take out the hock, pull the meat off of it and put that back in the pot. Add a little bit of Cajun seasoning if you want.Serve over rice with some diced green onion and many splashes of Crystal.One of my favorite things in the world.
February 4, 20223 yr 2 hours ago, TXSG8R said: Yea, I’m really shocked the flight is still coming in. My kid lives in west campus, so he would have to cross the Colorado somewhere to get to the airport. He’s never driven in icy conditions, so if I can avoid it I will. She lands after 9, so shit will be frozen again. Right now the hope is cabs or Ubers are still running. If she lands and can’t get something from the airport I’ll start guiding him there. This is the perfect time to teach him to drive in icy conditions. He's probably not going to fuck around as much if grandma's life is on the line!
February 4, 20223 yr Hope they were paying the dump truck driver extra, even without idiots rear-ending him, that looks like a crazy area to be sanding down. A dump truck could pick up a lot of speed there. d

Will try that on Sunday when I can get to HEB (if it ever opens).

Brown a pound of andouille and some homemade tasso. Add trinity and saute, add garlic and some Slap Ya Mama or equiv at the end, stir in. Add in a quart and a half of stock, Camillia beans (right outta the bag, not soaked), capful of Zatarains Crab Boil, bay leaf. Throw it all in crock pot - we've got a crock pot that you can put on the cooktop to do your saute, so it's all one pot - easy. Set for 4 hours. Serve over rice. Bottle of Crystal and can of Tony's/SYM on the table. I like a few bites of the red beans as is, then add Crystal for a few bites, then cajun season a few bites. Mix it up. Enjoy.
February 4, 20223 yr Author A big pot of Texas Red is on tap for tomorrow. Cold weather food is pretty much the only good thing about cold weather.

You have to be a fucking moron to try it during an ice storm.
February 4, 20223 yr Made it in to work tonight with one minor problem. Slid thru a stop sign at the bottom of a hill and went into the ditch. Managed to get out by myself, but it was touch and go for a minute. Doesn't look like it did much damage, just broken plastic.

February 4, 20223 yr You want to know why schools are closed here today for 25 degrees and just a tiny bit of ice? Because idiots like these can’t help themselves except to drive the usual 85 MPH and tailgate and swerve as usual and it would be terrible if a school bus happened to be in the way.

February 4, 20223 yr Drove from NW Austin to Georgetown this morning. The only places with any ice are overpasses/bridges/culverts. The flyover from EB Toll 45 to NB I35 was the only place I felt slightly nervous.
February 4, 20223 yr Any advice on which bridge to take into downtown? Coming in on Barton Springs Road and need to get to a meeting this afternoon.
February 4, 20223 yr With the sun coming out and temperatures rising I think everywhere will be fine by noon.

A dump truck could pick up a lot of speed there. d The most important thing about this story is that a few years back, someone changed the name of one of the signs to "Buttlick Hollow". My son and I always cracked up on the way to baseball seeing it. Oh and I was out driving today with my '96 Demolition Derby Explorer special (300K on it, drives like a Bugatti)). Roads almost everywhere are dry ('cept bridges). Everyone get out now and go as fast and reckless as you can. It's okay. Edited February 4, 20223 yr by phdhorn

February 4, 20223 yr My entire yard is one solid sheet of ice. Let the dogs out and it sounds like they are running across a tile floor. They have better traction control than I do.

February 4, 20223 yr Was able to get from my house to Central Market this morning with no problem. The roads appear to be fine, at least in my neck of the woods.

Yeah last year during Icepocalypse my sheers had a frozen solid sheet from the exit slot all the way to the water, but they were still pumping water even after 9 days of continuous running. The shallow end also formed about a 1" layer of ice about 1/4 of the way into the pool.
