  1. They've already gone up since this morning.
  2. my reaction (also used in the blast furnace thread): I'l believe this one when I actually feel it.
  3. And after you do, watch the version with the Curb You Enthusiasm Theme at the end of the clip. Still gets a chuckle out of me.
  4. I opened my weather app on my phone and this is the 7 day “forecast” for Austin: My reaction:
  5. Nailed it.
  6. Dang. Short notice.
  7. Username checks out.
  8. I did the same on the other side of the State, in Durango. Going to Ouray tomorrow, and the back to reality on Wednesday. Had an afternoon storm today that my kids were just playing in while all the other folks were scurrying to cover.
  9. I’ve had some mornings like that in New Orleans.
  10. The voice gave it away. But she certainly looked different than most everything else she’s been in.
  11. Can't speak to ProTax, but Five Stone is either $59, or a percentage in the reduction of taxes. Because go the HS cap, my taxes weren't reduced, even though they were able to knock off over $120K of appraised value. So I paid them $59.00. I think it's money well spent, based on the anticipated future increases.
  12. This is where I'm at. I used Five Stone, and I'll be paying them something (since they changed their model to have a minimum even if no tax reduction due to HS cap), but to me it's money well spent since I intend to be in this house until my kids graduate high school at least (and my youngest is only 9 months old), and it will save me taxes years down the road.
  13. Going to Durango at the end of the week. My wife said she was disappointed the forecast calls for rain. I told her we'd be out playing in it.
  14. TBH, something that has been around since the early 80s qualifies as "old Austin" at this point. Signed, a person who was born in the early 80s.
  15. I'd be more concerned about the drinking water (or lack thereof) up that way. https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/central-texas-drinking-water-crisis/
  16. They aren't. I've never liked the beans at Chuy's. I went a few months back with a vegan who asked about them, and the waitress proudly said the refried beans were vegetarian. This was my reaction, if you replace Econo-Save with Chuy's:
  17. Nebraska and New Mexico are also in different time zones. Your move, catholic joe.
  18. I think you mean “calm down Whitey.”
  19. Not how much it costs, how much TCAD says it's worth. Bought it for considerably less, and I only bought in 2020.
  20. I’m in a similar boat. Got about $120k knocked off. Still about 30% higher than 2021 (It was about 47% higher before protest) and my taxes aren’t impacted due to HS cap. I’m still glad I protested, as the floor from which they can increase is significantly lower.
  21. Finished it last night. What a great ride. In for season 2.
