    I can tell you know your way around a keyboard.

    You'll have $500k from me in just over 142,857 months.

    Ending a sentence with a period. My daughters (no pics) comment on my use of punctuation in text messages. I think I'll start using "over" and "over and out" to see if they like that better.

    A buddy and I stopped there the day after Thanksgiving on the way back from fishing on the Guad. Got there about 11:30 and they were "sold out" of everything except for pork ribs and fajita tacos. They're stated reason was because a huge to-go order was filled at 11:00. I suspect they just didn't have any barbecue because there was no smoking done the day before. I watched them dump restaurant bins full of already cooked and sliced fajitas on the flat tops. In that case, they shouldn't have been open the day after T-giving or not open until dinner service and given themselves enough time to smoke some barbecue.

    And the vultures will let them. A pair of Caracaras will disperse a group of vultures from a feeding site with little effort at all.

    So I picked up this skit from another thread. After watching, it is quite clear that previous generations of SNL cast members were better and rehearsed much more than the recent casts. It drives me crazy when no one in a skit can give a line without reading it off cue cards. I get that some of the hosts are outside of their comfort zones, but the regulars should be able to learn their lines.

    Sounds interesting. I'll probably give it a shot at some point - probably a little too refined for my taste.

    What's a bank supposed to do if you deposit a check without an account number and routing number?

    I use rice vinegar in my jalapeño slaw dressing when I don't want a strong vinegar taste. I don't mind the taste ACV, so I'll use that sometimes also.

    I'm sure I watched that movie for the first time because the TV guide noted "brief nudity." I guessed a Jeopardy question correctly a couple weeks ago for the same reason - 1982 Nastassja Kinski film Cat People. A 12 year old boy remembers stuff.

    Upthread I mentioned some calf stretches for Achilles's tendentious - same stretches should help reduce PF pain.

    Only open for home games, in which there are 17 (plus a few other random matches). They were selling $12 brisket tacos, $12 pulled pork sandwiches, and 1/2 racks of ribs at like $28. While it quite a bit of revenue for 3-4 hours, it barely factors into the $4.5m stated yearly revenue.

    I'm seeing pulled pork, but damn it looks good.
  15. Jerry Callo
    Moving the business to a city of 16k and expecting to more than double revenue in the first year seems insane. Add the fact that expenses rose exponentially, and it makes zero sense. Poor management practices just made the implosion happen sooner.

    Probably scouting Rigoni

    I'm not sure Bill Hader ever made it through a skit without laughing.
  19. Jerry Callo
    Probably would have phrased that differently.

    I think Brittney Howard at an ACL TV taping next Monday. A couple weeks ago, my wife was asking why we don't buy some tickets to a taping of ACL. I knew you could buy tickets, but wasn't sure exactly how to get tickets. I vaguely remember people waiting in line outside the ACL taping studio back when it was on the UT campus. Found out that you had to send in a request and then get drawn. First opportunity was Jelly Roll - I ain't trying to go to no Jelly Roll. Next up - Brittney Howard. Sent in my request and learned today that I was selected from more than 4200 entries. Now we get to show up on Monday at 6:00 to try to get two passes and hopefully get in. We'll see.

    Kung Fu Panda. I didn't read the books, but the movie trilogy was outstanding.

    Modern Buda was built on the back of the annual Wiener Dog Races.

    Buda EDC offered several hundred thousand in incentives (I've seen $288-512k) for Valentina's to open in that big building. That sounds like a bunch of money until its not. I doubt Valentina's made all of the metrics to get all of the incentives. I wouldn't be surprised if Valentina's hired and staffed more employees than were required just to try to make the requirements.

    If I remember correctly, Heim and Pecan Lodge have full bars. Both top 50 in 2017, downgraded to honorable mention in 2021.
