    Ok so the beaches in front of the condos are open but the county beaches are closed. I guess I am good.

     

    Yeah thats how I read it, we are supposed to head down Monday. I think we are still planning on it unless they make further changes to beach access. Would love to hear how it goes this weekend for you.

    Simple.  Gas grill super hot.  Shuck them fresh, leave them in one half of the shell.  Top with your fatty mix (butter and romano etc. is the traditional mix) -- this is key, because the spilling fat flares up, and gives you that chargrilled flavor.  Cook for just  a few minutes, serve and eat.  It's so easy, except for the shucking.

    Pretty much this, there is not a lot to them. 

    You can also have a some raw ones as you are shucking.

    Get your self a good oyster knife and it is not that bad. You can get them at Central Market, Whole Foods, Quality seafood most of the time. Most of those places will have gulf and some coastal oysters (I would not grill the coastal ones). 

  3. We are going down the week of July 6th. Like others I grew up in the area and know most of the pros/cons. 

    Its easy to spread out on the beach as long as you are not right at the entrance to one of the park. We are renting a condo about halfway up the beach and since you cannot drive on that part it will be easy to spread out.

    My only fear at this point is Texas keeps spiking and they shutdown airbnb's.

    It’s a really neat cookbook. There’s lots of Tex-mex history included as well which I’m into so I enjoy that. I basically followed his enchilada recipe along with the other poster’s steps here (more or less the same) and they turned out great. I imagine it will be a great resource to double check some things that I’ve made several times but have always been missing something, as well as give me some ideas for stuff I haven’t made before. Also lots of recipes from places like ninfa’s, el fenix, etc (old school big time restaurants). I found it lightly used on Amazon for like $10 - well worth the price. 

    I have it as well and it is pretty great. Just the history stuff makes it worth reading.

    Next friday night the 19th my dear friend Heidie Jo M. From Brady tx is telling her story in the Northland zoom room. She is the most spirited woman I've ever met. Beautiful. Profane. Hilarious. Married to a rancher that gave her a herd of horses and the time to work the steps with countless women. You should come, its gonna be a hoot.

    Thanks for the support from everyone.  I will make sure to hear from Heide Jo as well. How much we can change is crazy, I am looking forward to listening to a sober woman, on a Friday night.

  6. I had stayed sober for 90 days and lost it this week. Wife left town and I decided to drink. Back to day 2 now. This shit is hard.

    i know from you all it’s possible. Did the meeting northland this morning (virtual).  That’s great group of people.

    Anyone playing with hertz, or is it a stonk at this point?

    $htz up 80+% today. I just knew there was plenty of action there, but I was too lazy to focus on super speculative shit this week.

    yeah, I had options I sold at a 50% profit yesterday. If I had kept them till this afternoon.....

    So how much do you think the markets will go up on the news of only a couple million more people seeking unemployment, rather than 4 million? All time highs, perhaps?

    well there was a 2.5M gain in jobs vs a 7.5M expected lost so I would expect an increase.

    Also auto / small engine repair.  I'm pretty mechanically inclined and decent at carpentry, welding, etc, but I've just never really had a knack for turning wrenches. 

    I am the opposite....electrical/mechinical I can take it apart and fix it.

    But woodwork I just suck at I wish I could do simple things like build a raised garden bed but I end up buying a kit. 

  10. If he makes it to the final where they tend to have free reign then I think it will be Voltaggio. It feels like this will be a three person final since they went to Italy early (dont they normally wait to 4 people before they move)

    Where are y'all getting the idea that I am "bothered"?

    Quote

    Is there any state regulation that specifies they have to stick with the original printed date on the ticket?  Is this considered any kind of binding contract since $$ has been exchanged? 

    I think the part where you were looking for some regulations that specify "they have to stick with the original printed date" and "is this considered any kind of binding contract".

    Those seems like weird questions to ask if it was not bothering you at all.

    Admittedly I've only scanned 2 or 3 pages. Can't read all this, 'cause I'm at work ... but I'm surprised there's not more talk here about the protests here in Austin - like blocking IH35 downtown. Someone also just told me that the Southpark Meadows Target was being looted. Any of y'all hear anything about that?

    Here you go. https://www.reddit.com/r/Austin/comments/gticl0/protesters_are_on_i35_nb_and_sb/

  13. I don’t feel bad about those missing graduation. But I do feel sad for them missing the last couple months of their senior year and if they miss their first semester of college. Those were great times.

    HAven't been in 20+ years but looking at going down there in July. We need a place that can take dogs and houses 5 people. We'd like to be beach front.  Any thoughts about the best area to stay in?

    We are doing that in July as well. I grew up in the area, honestly SPI is not that big. Find a airbnb/homeaway that allows pets and be good to go. 

    If you are looking for a hotel, the Hilton Garden inn and the La Quinta on the very north end are good because the fireworks happen right there so you get a great view.

    Yeah, the average yearly return for the stock market is not 31 fucking percent over the last 50 years.  But that's basically what the table is saying if'n you buy two days before the New Year and sell at the end of the year.

    But but he saw it in the internet it must be true!
