  1. It's a Hawaiian bbq restaurant and consideration is for north burbs in Houston. I'm in beginning research now so still toss up if I throw in some equity....hell, who knows if it even goes through.
  2. Anyone ever considered investing in a franchise? Considering contributing equity into a small franchise and was wondering if there are horror (or feel-good) stories from your vast, sordid experiences. Wont be a ton of money....south of actually messing with retirement but north of "fuck it, doesn't matter if it gets pissed away and all I got was a few Hawaiian bbq meals."
  3. Unexpected bonus of this purchase was saturday, when weather was gorgeous, made legit breakfast and lunch meals for my family and from 730 a.m. to 900 pm, I spent 13 out of 13.5 hours outside at our ranchito. It was so great to bring in the fall (until it hits 95 degrees in a week or two when summer tells me to eat shit again)
  4. Ok, broke down and bought the 36 inch Blackstone. Highly recommend....where has this plancha been my whole life? From pancake/bacon/egg breakfasts to griddleburgers to street tacos, I say damn. Fried rice is next.
  5. Did you just badmouth Z Tejas' cornbread? Them fighting words.
  6. On both fronts. Should build it with cardboard so that its cheaper.
  7. I loved living in Barton Place Condos and every so often, some asshole spraypainted "go back to california." This thread simultaneously makes me think back to the good ol days where I could walk into Juan in a million or dogwoods and someone I was friends with would yell my name (small city vibe) and makes me think of the irony I read when people want to be compared to world class cities but hate other people coming to town. Pick a lane!
  8. I have lived in Austin, Houston, Los Angeles and NYC. Can say Austin is my favorite but Houston and LA have various things I liked about them more than Austin and can easily see why some would prefer Houston to Austin (for example, if you prioritize culture, museums, food, fine arts, and diversity over abs, legs and physical beauty from women, lakes and hills). Without a doubt for me though, I would put NYC in last place of the 4 and not even close. And people trying their hardest to justify weather differences between Houston and Austin sound desperate, like talking themselves into a boring boyfriend after they got cheated on. Do you need a/c or not or stfu. You're bragging about only needing a 17 Seer a/c running all summer long here in austin, not an 18 Seer like hot ass Houston. We get it man, Lamarr Houston fucked your wife in undergrad, let it go.
  9. Each time I've made steaks, I go buy them day or day before. But I'm lazier and more efficient as I age. On scale of "stay the f away" to "it doesn't change the taste whatsoever," where is Surly on freezing ribeyes and thawing out day of?
  10. I live close by, thought I would get fat from living so close due to my love of blizzards, and thankfully it's so bad that I've been to the La Grange DQ more than that one in the last year.
  11. Good point. I have a smoker, a Blackstone griddle, and a natural stone bbq pit for real flames but for some reason, I can't seem to get the motivation to get a sous vide. I go to the sous vide thread and constantly get jealous though.
  12. Yes, that must be it. Definitely not preference of temperature over juice, it's you and how wrong you are.
  13. Unpopular is I hate resting meat. Cut that shit and serve it warm to me as opposed to cool and "juicy."
  14. Did you pull trigger ahead of game and verify this works?
  15. Likewise. Super glad a treebeards is coming this way. Texadelphia could be good place to watch football if done right.
  16. loving some of the pics here and never had a griddle. Blackstone has a small portable grill with 352 sq inch grill. I value portability quite a bit so wondering if you experienced griddlers think I'd regret a smaller surface area like that.
  17. That new moon right now out there makes it great. I'm out there close by and last few days were great.
  18. Didn't think the difference would be enough if it just got a little wet?? Would be easy, if so.
  19. I thought of that but figured that's last resort cuz don't want to make already damaged drywall worse if there is better solution from someone smarter than I.
  20. So I have a small place in country that had serious leaks coming from large set of windows in living room. When it rained, water would come down walls...but only when windy and rainy. Rain alone didn't make it leak due to awning. Hired contractor to fix various issues that caused leak. Problem is I have no clue if what he did stopped leaks because I'm only there 5 days a month--and hasn't been raining enough when I'm there--to know for sure if what he did worked. It could be months before I'm there on a day it rains enough to actually test. So I'm hoping someone knows a simple product I can put down on edge of floors and/or window sills that definitively changes color when it gets water on it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
  21. Second zero zero zero as good watch.
  22. My brother was confirmed this Monday by cdc. Exposed 6 days before while on flight. Someone called him to come in since many on flight has tested positive, very coincidentally same day he got fever. Feeling normalish now after 5 days of 99-102 degrees. 45 years old, btw. Doctors told him it's been around for a while but no testing =no confirmation.
  23. New to apocalypses here so have newbie question. Why the rush to go buy water? Are people thinking shit will get so bad that tap water will be affected?
