  1. I'm doing an oil analysis via Blackstone Labs on this next oil change. If I post results here, can anyone provide input or am I better off at BobIsTheOilGuy? Anyone done one before? My car is a 2013 Tahoe with 110K miles
  2. Appreciate the input. The car was poorly planned. We needed a safe vehicle for our [at the time] pending "oops" baby. Something I forgot to mention, we are planning on having (conceiving) our second [hopefully, last] kid within a year.
  3. Call it a bug....I've been listening to the Dave Ramsey podcast and have been implementing certain aspects of his "baby steps". This will be the first year that both my wife and I max out our 401Ks, child-care FSA, and almost max HSA. We are early-30s, have a toddler under 2, and a mortgage. 1 car w/ a, roughly just under, $30,000 note; 4 years and change 30 year mortgage (don't plan to accelerate payments) Grad loan debt of $39K @ 4.24% Investment loan of $19K @ 6.99% (Dividend payments pay for 3/4 of P + I payments) Both of us have large bonuses coming in the next month which will pay-off the investment loan. Would it be better to pay down the additional debts or continue to max out 401K and HSA? Any other personal finance strategies that we're overlooking?
  4. Anyone have a rec for someone who does pictures in DFW?
  5. You don't know how wrong you are. A pair of nice toasted Texas white with mayo on the back combined with some melted sharp cheddar and leftover brisket. Just beautiful
  6. NBT does a buy 2 get 2 deal every now and then. I find the best mid-grade deal that I can there (or elsewhere), take it to Discount Tire, then they match and beat it by $100.
  7. This place is awesome. Unseen in the top of the second picture was the seafood hushpuppies. As you can see, they were awesome. The dish was duck hash. Very good Chicken and biscuits. Holy hell I want so bad I probably gained 40# on this trip. Need a salad cleanse for the rest of the month.
  8. GW Fins Sizzling oysters and #1 tuna tartare. #1 Tuna steak w sticky rice and veggies Seabass w fried oysters...this was really, really good Forgot what it was called but it's a caramel ice cream pie. We were really drunk by the end of the meal but it was good
  9. While I'm posting... A nice RGF from Sazerac Bar Meet Kathy. She can brown my sausage any day A nice veal grillade on cheddar grits w a sweet potato tasso ham soup (fucking amazing) finished w a chocolate pecan pie which I couldn't get a picture of before eating it all.
  10. Hello, my old friend
  11. Rolled right up to an empty seat. Extra one next to me of anyone wants to join.
  12. I took 4 days off. Going to work was a reprieve.
  13. Odd. I've only been there once and sat at the bar. I might do a drive by whilst wandering around. The sazerac bar is on the way back to our hotel so we'll likely hit that up multiple times.
  14. Yes. Will likely drop in there and carousel
  15. I land tomorrow at 8:30 AM. Checking in to my wife's hotel (she's been there all week) and then I'm off to du Monde for some coffee and beignets. I'm taking a cooking class starting at 10 AM for 3 hours and then the rest of the day to myself. I'm thinking Drago's for dinner? Wife is free starting Friday and we're going to Atchafalaya, GW Fins, Cochon, and Ruby Red Slipper. What else should we get into -- food, drink, or otherwise?
  16. https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/91-new-orleans-food-and-drink-thread/
  17. Where are you located? I have a mobile mechanic who is really good and affordable. Even if it's just to diagnose
  18. Celebrating Valentine's Day early bc we will be in NOLA this coming week. I humbly submit Not pictured, a wedge salad with an outstanding bleu cheese dressing.
  19. Due to my high testosterone levels, I still get some acne. This stuff is awesome. Recommended by my smoking hot dermatologist
  20. Funny. Her picture isn't showing up
  21. Ditto. I get shit for it everytime my dumbass friends bring up that they got their wife something. Or a baby moon or some shit
  22. A little pulled pork w bingo ank
  23. I'm waiting for @Jackstraw to come in and drop the ultimate hammer.
  24. I actually looked at that but the whole religious thing was iffy for me. Do they allow alcohol, grills/smokers? How is the property setup?
  25. I’m looking for a place to have a group friend trip with kids. I have a good friend who has stage 4 metastatic breast cancer – her 5 year survival rate is about 20%. To maximize the joy in her life, we’re trying to schedule as many friend trips with her as possible. The stipulation for most trips will be that kids will be attending – all under the age of 5, which will make things a challenge b/c don’t want to be isolated to our rooms once naptime/bedtime commences. Do any of y’all know what options are available where we can all have separate rooms, but still be a baby monitors lengths away so the adults can socialize, drink, etc? The group would roughly be around 5-10 families, depending on everyone’s availability. I’ve thought of maybe getting a group of cabins together around Broken Bow as long as they are close enough together where we can congregate. Any other options? Specific examples/links would be appreciated. Most of us are located in DFW area but obviously are able to travel a reasonable distance (via car)
