South Austin

Certifiably Surly
  1. Yeah, we keep trying to tell that to her.
  2. Could I interest you in salad puns and regional BBQ?
  3. Probably should take out the "2025" and make this a perennial thread, but here's the question of the day: I'm 51, and am reading more about fitness for men in their 50s, particular weightlifting. A lot of internet sources I'm reading say that one of the keys to maintaining (and even building) lean muscle mass in your 50s and beyond is rest/recovery days. In terms of recovery, if I've lifted on consecutive days, it's never the same muscle group two days in a row, as I've generally stuck to the push/lower body/pull cycle. But I've read that since your ability to recover slows as you age, it's even more important to have at least one full recovery day following a lifting session, and maybe two full days as you get into your late 50s and 60s. The recovery day can include light cardio, stretching, yoga, walking, etc. But just not lifting, even if you're working a completely different muscle groups. In terms of new years resolutions/goals, I'm now thinking of incorporating more recovery days into my lifting cycle. So, how often do you olds work in rest days for your fitness routines?
  4. Might be the best hire out there.
  5. And her family wouldn't trade those millions to have her back.
  6. I've said it before -- my wife and I really hope her daughter goes to Arkansas. But for some reason, she wants to go to a school where little to none of her classmates are going, and a lot of kids from her high school end up in Arkansas. So we're looking at other options that fit her bill -- large state school with robust athletics in the South (she won't do cold weather and a lot of rain).
  7. Is Colt his roommate at the hospital? Get well, Shipley.
  8. This post reminds me how much I enjoyed the process of my daughter applying to college. The exploration, the nervousness, the excitement, the anticipation, the growth . . . all before the acceptances and final decisions. And it's all still at a time when you don't realize they're gone in a blink of an eye.
  9. It is. Add to that Foul Play, Oh! Heavenly Dog, Under the Rainbow, and Modern Problems, all before 1982. The guy was on a fucking roll.

    Sounds good, but usually I've had too many beers at that point for something that complicated.
  11. The closer we get to release of the photo of Trump fucking a kid, the closer we get to Trump ordering a nuclear attack on some random country in the name of U.S. security.
  12. This Trump administration has made it acceptable to call a lot of people cunts.

    End of the line for a couple Italian joints. Rosedale's Gusto's owner has ghosted his employees after their pre-Christmas paychecks bounced. Signs posted on the door say its closing. I went there a lot with my kids when they were younger. I'd call it decent in those days, though it was pretty mediocre the last time I went a couple years ago. https://www.kvue.com/article/money/business/austin-restaurant-check-bounce-holidays/269-cb1f5c54-c3f1-4fc7-bc51-d7c2dbd0f20b And Vespaio is closing after almost 30 years. When I moved back to Austin in 2003 after a stint in Dallas, fine dining in the town was still few and far between. I remember Vespaio being one of my favorites that would fall in that category, though it was far from breaking the bank. Again, I haven't been there in a couple years, but recall my last trip that it was pretty solid. I don't care about Gusto, but losing Vespaio makes me a little sad. https://www.kvue.com/article/life/food/vespaio-closing-south-congress/269-b66b8e57-a3f0-4cb0-9a23-150fe1eaee3b
