  1. Congrats on the card but I'm not sure the Bevo in blackface is going to go over so well at some establishments.
  2. 20 mins later....
  3. I'd still grab a pie from there if they were open. Regular food was pretty meh but they had the best chocolate cream pie. Nothing fancy, just a regular crust (but not like the waxy pre-made crap that a bunch of places use), chilled chocolate cream, and a light top of whipped cream (never liked the towering meringue style) with some small chocolate shavings to give it a little extra chocolaty goodness.
  4. Goddammit Brisket! I thought something happened out that way. My dad grew up there and I'd go visit a couple of weeks every summer as a kid. Been ages since I've been out that there but only have fond memories of being spoiled out there. Back when my Pepa could slip me a dollar and I could buy a Coke, a candy bar, and a comic book down at the Piggly Wiggly.
  5. AHBK1H?
  6. So are we doing squares? Reentry bingo? Not to be confused with a NowThis favorite game rearentry bingo.
  7. Just got my Windows update. Obligatory 15 min wait for system reboot. We will see what other system issues pop up over the weekend. Last time wasn't bad at all, just a little tired the first day but nothing that a good cheeseburger, fries and a nap didn't fix. Looking forward to get that peace of mind so I can visit a few friends in Austin for Memorial Day.
  8. Just got my first jab of Pfizer at BS&W. Currently waiting the 15 mins to see if my body rejects the new microchips.
  9. More like derpcot amirite?
  10. Disappointed with the 2nd episode. Fight scene was sloppy with Bucky jumping on the lead truck bypassing any surprise since he was in plain view of the 2nd truck. Then the rest of the baddies just magically show up on top. Just not well put together or executed. Then the buddy hero angle is just too forced. The psychiatrist treating them as a couple, while a bit funny, is just way too silly at this point in the show. Maybe if the shrink had a smart remark or two to build up that angle then lead into a shared counseling in episode 4 the payoff would have been better and more believable. I AM interested in these characters. Really would like to see how Falcon functions as black American superhero. We have Nick Fury (who is more of an enigmatic figurehead) and not much else in the MCU (and maybe Monica Rambeau down the line). Sam is more the man of the people and it would be great to see how he handles being an icon of the black community. We already see his struggle of taking up the mantle of the red white and blue. As for Bucky there are so many different areas they can go into. Mental detox from his Winter Soldier demons. His loss of his best bud, the real Cap. His man out of time routine being the guy from a different era. As a comic book nerd I never read too much of the Cap America stories so I don't know too much about these characters. Which is why its all a bit fresh for me and still keeps me interested. Hopefully the show can turn it around some.
  11. Suns out and it is melting in the DFW! Went outside to clear a way to my water cutoff in case I have anything unexpected in the next day or so. Also got up a ladder to clear as much as my roof as possible. Still got one big bank I couldn't reach. Hopefully it can melt away without finding some sneaky paths under the roof.
  12. Almost the same here. Been up a total of 4 hrs today...2hrs early morning and rest finished up a few mins ago. Actually had enough time to get some work done and upper mgmt finally made call to shut down office for rest of the week. Which is great for one of my guys who was worried about trying to commute from FW to Richardson. No need for him to risk all of that.
  13. Annnnnnd I'm out too. Lasted about 30 mins. At least got my interior temp up to 70, got something warm to eat, and got my phone charge off of death row. Hunkering down for the night. Stay warm erebody!
  14. Hallelujah got power! Been down for 8 hrs. Plugging stuff in and trying to microwave something warm to eat before it crashes out again.
  15. Power still out and I just saw somebody just drive down my street in a dune buggy. Its turning into a really strange remake of Mad Max Frozen Road.
  16. Carrollton reporting in. Powers gone out twice but no more than a total of an hour. Inside faucets still dripping but haven't the courage to check on the outside spigot. I've got them all covered and going to ride or die with Team No Drip. Snow looks beautiful though and just had my first pedestrian walk by with a big fat Starbuck's cup.
  17. Gagreed. But if they went with a full CGI young Balki that would have been a shock and awe moment opening a wormhole into awesomeness.
  18. Balki?
  19. Omigosh that is terrible. Heart goes out to you and your family.
  20. My current boss is not retiring but is being promoted (rightly so) and I will be reporting to someone new in 2021. Bummed because he has been one of the best managers I've worked with in my career. He has had to deal with a lot: first year in new company, new service line, Covid craziness, and because my direct manager at the time died from a massive heart attack back in Jan which we never backfilled. So lots of scrambling throughout the year as we figured out each other's work style. So waiting to see the announcement for his replacement which will be my 6th mgr in the past 5 years. My crew is pretty self sufficient but its definitely wearing to have to engage with a brand new lead so often. By the time you get them up to speed on processes and issues they are on that revolving door.
