  1. A more likely scenario is that the russian stole the nork's provisions and the nork laughed at him and told him that he was eating dog food.
  2. Kinda fucked up that some of y’all are joking about a local special needs kid getting stabbed to death. And yes, I know where I am.
  3. https://www.amazon.com/Mutual-Industries-500-0-0-Standard-Backer/dp/B00XNQRKX8/ref=asc_df_B00XNQRKX8/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693386685331&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=17810941024835926743&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9189186&hvtargid=pla-311820750871&mcid=1417fb4ccbe0308a921553a6d1133712&th=1 Backer Rod comes in different diameters. 1/4" - 2"
  4. Cantilever it over Town Lake.... water taxis and gondolas.
  5. I agree with this. If @Jiggy-Z is willing to work for someone else, I can guarantee that a large GC that self-performs their concrete work would hire you in an instant and pay you well. That would be for estimating and/or PM work. I'm thinking of companies like Hensel-Phelps, DPR, Spaw-Glass, Austin Commercial. I know you've worked in this arena before and you may have some contacts already. This is in addition to big forming companies like United Forming, CapForm, and your bigger concrete companies like Ceco. Experienced people with your background are hard to find. You would be a great hire. Best of luck and well wishes for you and your wife. I hope it all works out. edit to add: You may think that working for another company might be a step backwards for your career. But you may like sliding into retirement working for someone else and not having to pay the bills, run HR, logistics, contracting, and all of the other 'stuff' you do when running your own business. You might find it to be so easy that you actually enjoy yourself.
  6. Good. Fuck him. I lost a good friend to that bombing in Beirut. RIP PFC Billy Stephlug.
  7. $79k and it can be yours. Beautiful boat. Docked on Lake Travis.
  8. Looking for some advice here. I'm selling our 2002 Crusers Yacht 3870 (40' cabin cruiser) that's on Lake Travis. What would be the easiest way to a quick sell? Asking price will be about 20% less than Boat Trader for same make/model. It's mechanically sound but not 'updated' with modern lighting, flooring, electronics. I've been told that boat brokers wont deal with older boats. So is Boat Trader my best route? Anything else? The marina wont let me 'For Sale' it on the dock.
  9. I just had an oh-shit-moment. We're traveling to Africa at the end of October. I'll be renting a car and they accept US drivers licenses so I'm good with that. I was filling out some travel paperwork and realized that my license expires on my birthday in the beginning of October and this is the renewal cycle that I have to do in person at the DMV. No biggie - it's August. Plenty of time. NOPE. Earliest appointment in Austin metro is January 2025. Fuck me. It looks like I'm taking Monday off of work to drive to Frederiksberg and I consider myself lucky to have gotten an appointment so soon. Thanks allot Obama hot wheels.
  10. This reminds me of one of the funniest things I heard in a meeting. This guy that had one foot in and one foot out said (rather seriously) "Nothing fucks with your drinking more than AA."
  11. Here’s that 9mm Hi Point I bought. It’s a lot of fun and cheaper than South Austin’s mom.
  12. Will you give me $15k (just the tip) to maintain a road that I don't drive on - on a piece of property that I can't sell? But yes, it does make me feel petty and unappreciative which is why I'm here looking for advice.
