  1. I'm a poor so my budget is $350k. Jarrell has some stuff under that range but then you're paying a 3% tax rate which pushes the payment higher on top of being in a town that is just a bunch of houses behind a truck stop. Bertram/Liberty Hill is too expensive now (for me). I rarely see anything my price range come up in Florence; mostly houses on acreage. Circleville and Granger always seem to be older homes priced super high and I really don't have the disposable income to be fixing up an older house or dealing with shit breaking down due to age. In Belton, I can get something at or below my price range that was built in the last few years and have a decent tax rate as well. I just signed a contract a couple weeks ago for a new build in south Belton that the builder says may take up to 12 months. I figure that gives me time to kinda keep watching the market and I can bail with only my earnest money lost if something better comes along in that timeframe. If not, I just buy the new build since I already locked the price of the home.
  2. I honestly think my trying to buy a house has been as stressful as when I went through my divorce/custody battle (which coincidentally left me broke and sidelined until 2021, just in time for prices to skyrocket back out of my budget). Unless there is a major price correction in the next year, looks like I'll be moving from Round Rock/GTown up to Belton. It's the closest place that still has homes in my price range.
  3. I can't vouch for it personally but my parents recently went to Weir Country Store and said they had really good burgers and bbq. It's inside a Diamond Shamrock gas station.
  4. Little Red Wagon was legit. They made a good CFS sandwich also. I've yet to hit up Tio Dan's yet to see if the burger is the same. This was our go-to spot when I was growing up in SETX. Damn good burger and onion rings. Place used to be called Dippity's Donuts but I don't think I ever had a donut from there. It's closed now sadly. It was in Lumberton.
  5. You don't remember Biden making a speech telling people he was going march with them to the supreme court?
  6. Looking forward to seeing Avata R
  7. Wordle 319 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I wondered if my starting word would ever hit
  8. Pro tip: find out what size capacitor your system uses and go buy a spare.
  9. Maybe Tucker Carlson was right... (no cr)
  10. Welcome to the internet. Can someone please add one of these to the Daily Texan forum heading?
  11. Migrants rights groups upon hearing Texas was bussing migrants further into the country:
  12. Over/under on number of Gadsden and 'Come and Take It' flags in his unibomber shack.
  13. Wait, are you being serious with the bolded?
  14. The soak is where all the flavor gets imparted into the crawfish. Also, it's not a "cold" soak but water that's 150 degrees or lower so they don't continue to cook. The best crawfish I ever had was with someone using 2 pots. One with clean water, then one with seasoned water that was brought to a boil to cook all the sides, then cooled down a bit. The crawfish were cooked in the clean water for a few minutes at a rolling boil, then put into the "soak" pot and sat there for 30 minutes. Even after cleaning/purging the crawfish before cooking, the water in that first pot still looked fucking gross after they came out. For the rest of us that only have a single pot, just clean the hell out of the crawfish ahead of time. Then after they cook for a few minutes, either throw in some ice or frozen ears of corn (I always do both and check my water temp) to bring the water temp down.
  15. Anyone try this out yet? I usually use the OG Louisiana or Cajun Land, then add cayenne as needed.
