  1. My final outstanding deal got signed on the 31st putting me right at annual quota and good enough for top rep. My market has been though this past year and not sure if I see it getting any better in the months to come so might be taking a look around in early 2020. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. For Black eyed peas I just did a Texas caviar that will serve as chips and dip as an app. I put a brisket on last night that should be ready in the next few hours for brunch. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Marriott has acquired several small boutique hotel chains as well the you might want to check out. I’ve stayed at some of the Luxury Collection hotels that were really nice. Hotel de Berri in Paris was phenomenal. Ritz properties as mentioned above will always be superb on service (all though sometimes rooms and hotel can be dated) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I have a Denon receiver with several wired speakers around the house and ended up using Chromecast so I could cast Pandora from my Google Home on the main wired speakers. I'm actually struggling right now because while it supports multiple zones I can't seem to figure out how to stream music to them. Ideally I setup speakers outside in a new zone that could play music/different volume etc. I've read that Zones 2 and 3 only support Analog music streams versus the digital and I need to have the source use the RCA inputs but since I'm streaming that's not going to work. Anyone dealt with this?
  5. Hopefully not a bad time to start DCAing in if you are not already. Broke down from 7K so we either retest 6500 or continue down where last line of defense is 5.2.
  6. Irion Country just west of San Angelo
  7. Well shit, I’m heading out this weekend so morning hunts might be rough. However check this 11pt that was taken this past Sunday. One of the best ones I’ve seen in a while. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Whiskey tasting today runs from 6-9 and it's the one on 12th and Airport (not the 5th location)
  9. 4-5 minutes per side for medium rare I believe
  10. I got a Weller 12 recently here in Austin. Also, if you are not aware they are in the middle of the 12 Days of Whiskey at The Austin Shaker. Each day they are pouring samples of something new and you get a raffle ticket where they open up the vault on the last day and raffle away opportunities to buy rare stuff at good prices. Sampled the Boss Hog last week on Whistle Pig day and Garrison Bros Cowboy Bourbon on Sat.
  11. Some folks got these two off the ranch a few weeks ago. I’m finally going out this weekend to try and take a buck. Unfortunately not going to be very cold. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Just a sweat towel hanging on it now. Had I put it in our bedroom there would very likely be clothes hanging on it... therefore I opted for the office.
  13. I bought my wife a Peloton for Christmas last year... I guess I should be shamed now?
  14. How about a really nice steak dinner as a TY for the status gift? I haven't made it to EP in quite a while and Platinum Pro get's you no upgrades.
  15. I'm taking the in-laws this week but Brother in law will be coming for the holiday and don't have a ticket. So looking for one extra that I can get him in on and then find a seat near us. Has anyone had issues getting into certain sections with any ticket? I'm lower so should I buy a lower just to make sure?
  16. Bounced at 6500 even tho really no historical support there. Did get a bit of a relief rally back about 7K... likely have resistance at 7400 and some support at 7020. I'd say we consolidate here for a few days as it decides whether we go back to find new lows or back up toward 10k.
  17. Two words... Rock Rose In all seriousness at least in your 40s you should be able do do something really nice. Seeing that I guess the outing was last night maybe just give us an update on where you went. If you did anything less than $5K in private rooms at the Rose I'm disappoint.
  18. The "absolute best learning environment" is likely pretty subjective. There is a wide range between the poorest performing schools and the top rated ones (both private and public) Stretching financially to get into some private school is probably not the best thing you can do for your kids. Being financially smart and stable so that your kids have the ability to take a risk might be.
  19. I'm hoping that my kids can find their way on a good track that leads to Ann Richards/LASA if they are so inclined. I have no intention of moving out to Westlake or Lake Travis to get them into a solid track of schools. I'd rather see them exposed to a much more diverse student body however there are concerns that could mean teaching at an average that would be below some other programs.
  20. I have Hulu live with no commercials... going to $61 a month. When you dumped Hulu how did you watch sports. Just stuff on broadcast with antenna? I have Hulu, Netflix, HBO, Disney+ and really don't think I need all this stuff.
  21. I rode one of these bad boys to the office this morning... exhilarating
  22. Mopeds are allowed to park in metered areas for up to 12 hours for free. Only after that are they required to pay the meter and/or be ticketed so these are totally legal to be parked where they are. Face it guys, street parking for cars is just a pipe dream going forward.
  23. Whew, this thread is for real. I spent most of my 20s as a consultant doing the weekly travel thing. No wife and no kids so it was very manageable plus since I was a consultant on a project with other traveling consultants those became my friends I spent the most time with. Some cites were shittier than others but I saw a lot, ate a lot of food and drank even more booze. Fast forward to my 30s where I got married that travel lifestyle got a lot less interesting. Consulting (and the travel that comes with it)had run it's course for me therefore I got into Sales. Now I have young kids and still travel a little bit but way more manageable than the weekly road warrior. I knew/know plenty of people that do it but I don't think I would ever go back to the 100% travel with a family. Good advice in many of these responses.
  24. Perhaps the downside of marrying a millennial... wasn't into giving blow jobs immediately after her C-section. what a bitch
