    I stopped at Inman's BBQ while I was in Llano a few months ago and it was half decent. If Rudy's is the bar for tasty mediocrity it was about even, maybe slightly above. 

     

     

    Turkey sausage is what Inman's does best.  Last time I was there, the ribs and brisket were under-cooked/not rendered enough.  Took home a couple of pounds of turkey sausage to finish on my smoker at home.  Great stuff.

  2. Live wherever you want, but stay away from satellite internet.  Expensive and unreliable. 

    Check out Wireless Digital Subscriber Line service providers.  It is a radio link from your home to a terrestrial ISP data source.  In our case we have a 50 ft tall tower (we had to get above some big trees) that has a radio receiver that bounces off of a transmitter located on a water tower a couple of miles from us.  It is broadband fast, very reliable, and costs around $150 a month for a pretty robust download/upload capacity subscription.  We probably dropped around $600-ish on the initial tower/installation.  Totally worth it.

    Welp, nothing we liked in Texas had any availability for our dates (admittedly, we are booking last minute). So flying to Memphis and staying at the Peabody Hotel for 2 nights. Let's test these vaccines out!

    Enjoy the ducks (and hopefully, some sexy time) at the Peabody.  Say hello to Elvis at Graceland.

  4. I confess that I am not doing a very good job of mentoring younger folks these days.  That said -- most of the mentoring that I received when I was a greenhorn didn't happen in the office -- it was over drinks after hours in the evening.  Once the senior partners learned that I could hang with them and knew some shit, they started trusting me with more important client relationships.

  5. I'm in the professional services space.  I control my client relationships and haven't needed to do office "facetime" for the last 20 years or so.  In fact, when I was on deadline or deep into a client project Pre-Covid, I'd get a hotel room to work in so that I could focus on the client deliverable without office interruptions.  Not having to make excuses for going dark for days at a time has been a great thing.  I'm gonna be taking a hard look at our office lease commitments as the renewals start coming up.

  6. 62 here.  I've long been of the opinion that you only have so many heartbeats allotted to you in a lifetime. 

    No sense in wasting them on stupid stuff like running and exercise.

    YMMV.

  7. I also love the uniformed talk against the long-standing step-up in basis doctrine.  It's simply a way to make the IRS your family's business partner due to the impact of inflation over a person's lifetime.

  8. And what's so sacrosanct about $50MM?  Why not start the tax at $5MM or $10MM?  Those folks are way richer than most people.  They can probably afford to pay more, amirite?
