  1. I’ve been championing T22 since the first day they opened their food truck, but I agree the Burnet location lacks the quality and consistency as the trailer.  

    Two weeks ago I had TERRIBLE bird at Burnet.  Had Tumble not built up so much goodwill with me and my family over the past two years, I would have never gone back after that experience.

    Thread sounds like the usual Austin bitching. MoPAC construction was horribly mismanaged by CH2M. CTRMA probably should have defaulted them but didn’t. Lane was brought on to finish the job, and has been largely responsible for getting the road open and fixing the stuff CH2M screwed up. The sound walls were designed incorrectly to handle structural load and are being replaced (pretty quickly in my opinion).

    Pretty quickly?  Have they not been replacing the walls for almost a year now?  

    The replacement soundwalls at Spicewood have been leaning against the piers waiting for installation for eight months.  

    I live near Mabry and I haven’t seen anyone working since Memorial Day.  

  3. This press conference is brutal.  

    Quote just now:  “CNN is fake news.  I don’t take questions from fake news.  John, you work for CNN and your fake and so is is your company.  Fake.  Mike at Fox, your question please."

    That makes no sense. 

     

    I culd potentially see the average being a running 30 year average, but a record is an all time record, not a generational record. 

    Sorry- I meant “above average” high, not “record” high.  

    You are correct, a running 30 year average.  

  5. Phd- I seem to recall Jim Spencer saying something a while back about yearly rainfall and temperature only being updated every 20-30 years instead of being cumulative.

    In other words, part of the reason it seems like every other day is a warmer than average high -these last few days not withstanding- is largely because they’re based off numbers which are two or three decades old.  

    Is that really true?

    The filmmaker approached him as they wanted to do a doc on the American justice/legal system and how it works for wealthy ppl.  Article I read said they wanted to do the state's side as well to show the whole picture but they wouldn't allow it. There was constant concern the state would subpoena the doc footage throughout the case so the filmmaker immediately shipped it to France after every reel was completed... not sure why/how that prevented anything. 

    The state should have taken the French up on their offer because they come off as dishonest at best.    

    Not ‘Making a Murderer’ Ken Kratz bad, but pretty terrible nevertheless.  

  7. Just finished Staircase.  

     

    My take is there was MORE than enough reasonable doubt to find Peterson ‘not guilty’.  And holy crap, the Durham’s DA is crooked as shit.  

    Judge Hudson’s interview in the final episode was pretty sobering.  Basically said he felt he was incident.

    Get ready for the Austin peeps to light up. It's raining in the blah blah blah, same here! Whew, I was going run the sprinkler system! I'm next door to you and it's raining here as well!

    <————— The Houston mosquito thread is that way.   

    It’s out of simple courtesy we even let you non-Central Texas posters participate in this thread.   

  9. Loved the first episode, almost quit after a terribad second episode and then decided to stick with it after a better-than-average third.  I’m one or two episodes behind but it’s good enough to keep me interested.  

    I do get the feeling this will end up being one of those shows which (assuming there is one) HBO dials back some characters and makes some much needed changes between S1 and S2.  

    The premise is solid, but there are a few off the wall characters right now who need some major adjustments by the writing staff.

    Had some CFS tonight and thought it was pretty good.

    I think you were sitting next to me.  I was the one who had five margs plus floaters.  

    Can’t remember what I ordered though.
