Just now saw this thread. Got the LR AWD Model Y on July 1. It is quite a bit bigger than it looks. Interior and cargo space is bigger than my old Q5 and wife’s GLC. Did nothing but city driving/ home charging until last week when I had to go to SA/Boerne for work. Stopped at a supercharger in Flatonia both ways and the stop wasn’t any longer than a typical gas fill up and restroom visit. The real issue for road trips is charging at your destination. Had to charge at the super chargers in SA and Leon Springs while I was there. Overall couldn’t be happier with the Y.

What’s the story here? I pass by their building all the time. Never knew anything about them.

That’s what the construction between Brookshire and Sealy is. They have to widen a few bridges so it will take a while. Edit: not 6 lanes each way but they are at least adding one each way.

What's the status of the Houston Rodeo?

This is a much smaller storm than Ike, but yes parts of all those counties will get slammed.

The Euro model nailed Harvey, which was an anomalous storm, and was an outlier then too at times. That said, I hope it's wrong this time.

Depends on timing. We left the Heights for SA during Rita at about 2 am and the mass exodus on 10 had already began. Took the detour through Richmond and Rosenberg and it still took 16 hours to SA.

I'm more late 80s/early 90s, but I remember our rotation being: 6400, Club Etc, Numbers, Rich's, DV8, Detour, Yucatan Liquor Stand, Kaboom, Tantra, Power Tools, Red Square, Blue Planet, Lizard Lounge, Crystal, Club Some. I'm sure there are several I'm not remembering. Live music clubs - The Axiom, Fitzgerald's, The Vatican/Abyss, Numbers, Emo's, Cardi's, Pik n Pak, Cabaret Voltaire, Rockefellers, Bon Ton Room/Mary Jane's/Walter's, Music Hall, Tower Theater.

Yeah, got two links and it was borderline inedible. Like I said, it was mushy and undercooked.

Went to City Market in Luling on Tuesday on the way back from SA to Houston. It wasn’t Smitty’s bad but not far away. Brisket was bland and half of it was cut with the grain (no pink polo), sausage was mushy and seemed to be undercooked. Pork ribs were decent taste wise but cut really badly. Maybe Stevie Wonder is cutting their meat. My last trip to Rudy’s was way better.

Terrible. Just terrible.

If this goes extras, can we do a double switch and put Straw on 2nd?

I was planning on smoking a 12 pound brisket on Saturday but I had a last minute recording session and had to leave town, my wife messed up the recipe but it turned out great, here is what happened: I brined the 12 pound brisket starting Friday night then left town. My wife on Saturday night forgot what I told her and took the brisket out of the brine and rinsed it, she then rubbed it with a mixture of ground chipotle pepper, black pepper, chili powder, sugar, $#@!in and cilantro, she then cut it in two (donâ€[emoji769]t ask why) and put each piece in a large freezer bag, put half a bottle of liquid smoke in each bag and put them back in the fridge, on Sunday night she put both pieces into a large metal turkey roasting pan then covered them with a mixture of Stubbs and cattlemanâ€[emoji769]s BBQ sauce, she cooked it at 225 for 5 hours. I was pissed with I got home and while I was yelling about her screwing up my brisket she shoves a piece of the brisket in my mouth, I almost popped a boner, it was the best $#@!ing brisket I have ever tasted outside of a restaurant. My wife is giving me the biggest $#@! eating grin along with a told you so look.

My phrase is “throwing the thesaurus.” He please don’t throw your thesaurus at me.

^ That must have been made before Johnny Carrabba opened Grace's and Mia's Table. Speaking of, not earth shattering but the Memorial City Mia's Table and Torchy's are about to open. The Kirby Ice House next to them had opened and then had to close.

I may throw down $229 on this portable pellet grill/smoker https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/asmoke-portable-applewood-pellet-grill/x/23236168#/

No Urquidy, Osuna, and Peacock gives us more Chuckles!

Don't know what their current status is, but 100% Taquito was always good.

Apparently Pitts & Spitts makes a good pellet smoker if that’s your thing.

Well now that Fitzgerald’s is now a parking lot...

Yeah Breadman wasn’t some Covid Underbelly chicken tenders bullshit. He had a contract with them before all of this. I will say I wish they still carried the prepared Kiran’s stuff. It was really good.

Won’t do a longcat quote but Just GRK does indeed make a tasty burger.

Recently got this Matfer Bourgeat carbon steel paella pan. In addition to paella, it quickly became my go pan for roasting, pan frying, etc. Can easily use it on the grill or inside on the gas range. Much lighter than cast iron but otherwise cooks very similarly. https://www.acemart.com/kitchen/cookware/paella-pans/matfer-bourgeat-62051-14-black-steel-paella-pan/MTF062051
