  1. that's what i did and it worked well. thanks!
  2. I should have been more clear. A friend was bringing food from a steakhouse including but not limited to steaks but wasn’t getting to our ultimate destination for 30 or 45 minutes after picking up. I wanted to mark the occasion with as near a steakhouse like experience as possible moment.
  3. Any thoughts on best way to transport cooked steak for 30 minutes? Cooking one place then plating somewhere else 30 minutes later and want it to be correct temp etc. back in broiler for just a bit or in oven for a minute or so?
  4. Any of you watch guys have strong opinions on Panerai? i like them a lot but don't know anyone who has owned one. i'm also really liking the look of the Seaholm submariner knockoff. also like that it's an Austin business and a few folks I know say the founder is a good guy. Any thoughts or experiences with Seaholm?
  5. Drove from Austin to Santa Fe last week and then on to Durango this week. I saw little to no mask compliance in the Texas small towns we passed through (didn't inspect every business but saw several town squares and in several convenient stores and a grocery store). NM and CO are night and day different -- basically 100% compliance indoors in every place i've seen or been. Really strange to see old-timers and typical fat ass small town men, women, and children in Post, Lubbock, Littlfield etc. not giving a fuck and then those same demos at 100% compliance in NM and CO (in fairness CO seems to have less of an obesity epidemic than small town TX and small town NM).
  6. Anyone spent much time on lake Austin during the pandemic? More or less crowded than usual for this time of year?
  7. anyone know a good boat mechanic that can come check out a boat in the slips next to hula hut? boat won't start and trailer far away and everybody I talk to says it'll be weeks before they can get out.
  8. Any thoughts on best place in Austin to get lump? Best brands? Best to order online?
  9. I feel like our little bubble has been as vigilant as possible and most of the folks we run around with have been strict lock down for at least 6 weeks. In the past few days I’ve heard more and more about families who have been isolating starting to together with other families for dinner / beers / play dates with kids. My first reaction is this is not acceptable but then I drive down Barton springs and see the new ski shores (one of my favorite 1/4 miles in Austin but they just can’t get any decent food there - ski shores is shit without a lake next to it and chuys / shady are what they are but that area could do so much better) is crowded and the park is covered up and I think we’ll it’s a lot better than that. Any thoughts on families that have been isolating getting together to see each other for a bit?
  10. Did curbside at Poolburger last night and there were at least 15 or 20 people standing out in front of Deep Eddy having beers? I couldn't see inside but the door was open and it looked busy in there too? I love Deep Eddy and have spent a considerable amount of time there over the years but what the fuck is that all about?
  11. 25 employee business in Austin. PPP app was approved Monday and funded yesterday afternoon. We worked with our local bank that we have a longstanding relationship with.
  12. Expensive but very high quality mmh is running a grocery out of the new Swedish hill. Curbside and and home delivery - produce meat beer wine baked goods basic groceries like flour butter etc and also prepared foods from their various places
  13. Meant to post an update here but think I put it in another thread. Did drizzly the other day and it worked great. They coordinate with local shops (south Austin liquor for me). Local shop texted me order immediately to make sure they had it right and was at house in about 30 minutes. left it on front porch with no interaction. $4 delivery fee and tip how ever much you went.
  14. I'm a business litigation lawyer in Austin and right there with you on the work stuff. We're as busy as we've ever been and I'm very proud of our associates and my partners for making the transition to WFH without losing really any productivity / hours. My main concern is how long can clients continue to pay.
  15. thanks to LL Lawyer's rec i had booze delivered to the house via grizly.com and it worked very well. Grizly connects you to a local liquor store (south lamar for us) and then the store takes it from there -- immediately called me to verify order and had it on our doorstep in 30 minutes. I think the surcharge was only $4 and you tip however much you want.
  16. any booze delivery in Austin? i know specs has curbside but i'd prefer delivery if possible.
  17. All this talk about surfside, Bryan beach, Quintana, Sargent reminds me of my childhood growing up in southern brazoria county. Great place to grow up if you love to have free reign and hunt and fish and don’t know any better. Moved to Austin to go to Texas when I was 17 and got civilized and it ruined me.
  18. I bet you could make a pretty great doc about the other tiger guy with all the wives/girlfriends. Joe’s shit house crazy but that other dude’s no slouch.
  19. I'm a commercial litigation attorney in Austin with strong focus on construction. The order issued by COA is poorly drafted and is creating a ton of confusion in the industry. COA's intent is to shut down pretty much all residential and commercial construction but the order, as drafted, has holes that allow for exceptions to swallow the rule. COA issued a 'clarification memo' earlier today but it isn't helping. I've been on the phone with clients all morning who are scrambling trying to figure out what to do.
  20. One of my favorite places in Austin. Their blackened seafood- shrimp and fish - is awesome. Everything on the menu is really good all very high quality ingredients skillfully prepared. Will def go by there and encourage others to. Love that new on on south Lamar
  21. We’re in the market for a new car for my wife and are thinking about a Volvo wagon. Basically just needs to carry 2 kids and their shit and their friends around town. I have a big suv so don’t need a ton of space on this one. Any experience or thoughts on Volvo wagon reliability. She’s pretty utilitarian cars so don’t want something that requires out of the ordinary upkeep and maintenance. Is general rep regarding volvo safety true. Are they markedly safer than comparable wagons? Also thinking about taking a different route giving her my suv and getting an old wagoneer. If you pay for one of the nice refurbished ones from the plaices them up can they last a while and be pretty reliable?
  22. Did you have any reluctance buying the used X? We're in the market and going back and forth between a new 3 or a used X and the guy at the Tesla store in the Domain said he'd recommend a new 3 any day because of the technology / battery improvements made between 16 and present day. I'm ignorant on the subject so any insight is appreciated.
  23. my main concern is warmth as i'll be in Montana soon. is warmth more determined by layering underneath as long as your outer layer is water tight?
  24. thanks. i might get some new pants too. the pant prices vary wildly. what is the difference between a $200 -- $250 pair of ski pants and a 4, 5, or even $600 pair? that wide range doesn't make sense to me
