    Dessert

    ftf82 posted a topic in Austin

    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.

    Cane Rosso closed af, according to Reddit. Any South Austin chatters confirm?

    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

    He's graduating with a degree from McCombs. He can make bank a number of ways. Very smart young man.

    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).

    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.

    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

    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?

    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?

    Title of sub-forum itself. Cloak Room The largest political forum in the great state of Texas.
  16. ftf82
    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

    ftf82 replied to ftf82's topic in Austin

    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.

    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.

    You aren't wrong. But at the same time, I paid extra for an auto-fill and locked in for 300 gallons less than 2 months ago. They (Pinnacle Propane) also saw this coming. Put it this way. I prepared financially for this storm. They didn't. Edit to say: And further in my defense, we contacted them early yesterday when I was winterizing everything (covering up faucets) and checked the tank

    Come to find out that my "auto-fill" contract, prepaid mind you, with Pinnacle Propane means that it's not really "auto-fill". Checked my level early yesterday and noticed it was 15% (they're supposed to refill before it gets to 20%). Called and they said that they would get someone out this morning. Of course, they canceled this morning and won't be here until sometime late this week I'm sure. So, in short, I had to call to get a tank filled that was on a PREPAID auto-fill contract, I'll likely run out within the next 4 days, during which I'll only be running my thermostat at 60 degrees, and Fuck Pinnacle Propane.

    Just got back from my marina on Lake Austin. About half the boats previously on lifts are now floating in the water in their slips as the owners try see if the lake water will be warm enough to keep their engine blocks from cracking. Nobody winterizes their boats anymore since 2 weeks ago it was 85 degrees and surf weather.

    Would shutting of the main line to the house not work? Would you also need to drain the lines throughout the house and outdoor faucets? I may just fill a bathtub with water to use to flush the toilet and go without water service for 48 hours. What am I missing?

    The grinders on Shortie's menu look solid (other than the Italian with mayo on it. wtf?). Pizza looks legit too. Someone go try it out.
