  1. Damnit. Now I'm craving an Ed's Best Bitter from Waterloo Brew.
  2. Who has the best rates and quickest turnarounds for HELOCs right now? No sense letting this free value and low interest rates go to waste, right????

    Burgers

    First time I ate at Dirty’s in the summer of 88 I ordered cheese tots with my OT Special with jalapeños. Tots came with a barely melted slice of Kraft American Cheese on top. I was hooked from then on.
  4. And quite a few of those condos, and their interests in the land, are mortgaged. It's a pricy beachside project, so maybe not all, but I bet over 50% of them have mortgages that will be in front of any judgment claims against the land.
  5. Lawyer in Decatur who has a daily blog is keeping up with it. http://www.liberallylean.com/

    Burgers

    Like just about anyplace, the thing with fries is you have to eat them hot (and sometimes when dining in you need to eat them first; I'm looking at you, Pluckers). So you can't get them to go (unless you eat them in the car on the way home with the bag of burgers). Dan's (curly fries), C&A and Hill-Bert's all have great fries for dine in, imo.
  7. Mob tries to thwart foreclosure sales of prime Austin land controlled by World Class; 'I was scared' https://www.bizjournals.com/austin/news/2021/06/01/disruption-at-courthouse-during-world-class-sales.html?ana=e_aus_bn_breakingnews_breakingnews&j=90561743&t=Breaking News&mkt_tok=NjczLVVXWS0yMjkAAAF9aHVDiqTgOw7R6PAHE1Op3E3a1p8LU7ThhhMPS1_DLWedBSJuzHla7o3A2Po7_gn8aDY5Kn4yR0Tiav5SpYeyPmyRqTCIEuN27NET0AODQGXN6Cs

    Dessert

    Give me your places for best desserts in Austin. Wife and I are going downtown to Trulucks for our 32nd anniversary tomorrow. It’s pretty much an annual thing because it’s a restaurant that we both like a lot. But they don’t have desserts. Not going tomorrow but Chez Zee is one of my favorites.

    Pizza

    Cane Rosso closed af, according to Reddit. Any South Austin chatters confirm?
  10. Anyone ever eaten at George’s in Post? Looks like we’ll be hitting that area right around dinner time and it gets the top rating in town
  11. Snowing in the 87571! May 17 Snow.mp4
  12. NM - No clue how to upload it.
  13. Only early votes are in now. But it’s over
  14. He's graduating with a degree from McCombs. He can make bank a number of ways. Very smart young man.
  15. I've heard it called "future-proofing" by Genlser (designing a garage with flat floorplates and slightly taller floor-to-floor heights so it can become the framework of future occupiable space).
  16. Fran's default burger condiment was Mayo; Dan's was Mustard. #team_Dan
  17. My dentist's office for going on 25 years is next door to the east. I used to sit there getting my teeth cleaned and watch you guys mildly haze your pledges on sunny afternoons.
  18. The old school nachos are worth the trip. And folks complaining about Maudies enchiladas (i.e., @jimmyjazz) better not ever complain about the demise of Dart Bowl and (almost) Enchiladas y Mas! hehe
  19. Wife and I are Staying at my sister in law’s condo at the Cambridge this weekend. Planning on walking downtown for dinner. Give me your options for outside dining. JW Marriot is an option but a bit of a walk. Anything closer to the Capitol complex?
  20. If the values decline (e.g., bear market) do you get to use the loss to reduce taxable income or is this heads you win, tails I lose?
  21. Title of sub-forum itself. Cloak Room The largest political forum in the great state of Texas.
  22. Rarely post in CR, but have a question and thought I'd see if other posters had an opinion (since this is the largest political forum in Texas). If something happens to Biden and Harris becomes POTUS under the 25th Amendment, she would be entitled to appoint a new VP subject to confirmation by a majority of both Houses of Congress. So if that happens, the Republicans of course would never vote to confirm a VP and it would remain vacant so that they could deny the Democrats the majority in the Senate. Is that correct, or is there another method to break ties in the Senate in that event?

    Burgers

    Got my second shot at AISD Performing Arts in Mueller. So I hit up the sole remaining Hill-Bert's for a jalapeno cheeseburger and homemade onion rings. Forgot how good that place is and the owner is a hell of a nice guy. Need to make a special trip up that way more often.
  24. auto-fill was probably the wrong term. We prebuy 300 gallons at current prices with an agreement that they bring us propane when it drops below a certain point. For 15 years that's been the deal. We've never used 300 gallons in a year. Sometimes we make money on the deal, sometimes they do. Our normal delivery guy Ray (who've I've given football tickets to) would have taken care of us because he would stop by periodically and check levels. But 2 years ago they went to some algorithm formula and not periodic checks. So they fucked up and found out. And we're paying for it, even though we paid for it. In summary. Fuck Pinnacle Propane.
