I now work in a pretty open concept space. The only thing between my "office" and the cubical farm is shade thing similar to those sun shade things you put on the rear windows of a car for the kiddos. I overheard one of my billing guys last week saying, "I have a really large bladder, which makes me pretty efficient"

The last two years I hired a firm to do the protest for me, and they got it dropped a very minimal amount. Curious what you guys think regarding cost/value of hiring someone. I kind of wonder if the CAD tends to pay more attention to actual owners that show up, or is it worth it to hire a pro.
Thoughts?

I still have yet to make a good enough gumbo to post or serve to a large group because my coon ass aunt makes the best I’ve ever had, and I have had a lot. I can’t compare yet, BUT I can do an Easter shrimp boil. One small pot for the kids (and a few weakling adults) and a larger spicy pot for the real adults.

Been a while since I’ve been here but we’ve got a Spurs Game 7 and the kids are going to bed early because they are exhausted, so steaks it is!
Trimmed some fat from my wife’s but put it on top of mine to render in
Asparagus and one of the best purchases I’ve ever made was a wire grill basket. Use that thing twice a week.
My grilling paradise. Will be having a cigar here later watching the Spurs shut it down.
Finished with some fancy ass Himalayan pink salt and resting.
Get you some of this.
GO SPURS GO! (Which I had to retake because I realized there were no guns present and the steak was already gone)

Friend in my neighborhood had one of these

I had a home made go-cart with a B&S engine similar to this one, but not nearly as nice. The seat was literally a stacking metal chair we cut the legs off of.

There was a grass alleyway all the way around the outside of the neighborhood, and we would race around doing completely idiotic/dangerous shit all day or until both all of our dad's gas cans were empty. such great times

No way the umbrella bases hold the flagpoles and sun sail up with any wind at all. Whatever you go with, I would plan on cementing into the ground. You could also use aluminum tubing in the electrical isle of home depot to save a little cash over the cost of the flagpole. The flagpole comes ready to install though, so it would be easier.
I would also install the poles twice as wide as the sail, and attach the sail to the flagpole with a cable. That way, if you wanted to adjust horizontally, you can by shortening/lengthening the cables on either side of the sail as needed.

IIt’s not reversible.
That was absolutely my first thought upon pulling the roll of TP into my lap after of my first shits in new (to me) house.
it is vastly superior to the spring loaded models for ease of reload, but this one appears to only have one set-up for orientation. It does have a raised leading edge, so I guess they think that is enough friction.
It absolutely is reversible. It may require you to rotate the bracket itself 180* but it is most definitely reversible if you try hard enough.

motherfucker who built current house installed master bedroom with open end pointing towards toilet. Every time I try to tear off some TP the fucking roll comes with it.
No it can't be turned over.
$10 towards a wreath fund that you can flip it to face the other way with an allen wrench and/or screwdriver in about 2 minutes

I for one enjoy going to the grocery store. I go every weekend, most times by myself, listen to music or a podcast and it takes about an hour, which is a nice break from shuttling two kids around to various games and birthday parties. I do the cooking on the weekends, wife will cook during the week, but during the week is simple stuff. I will cook more complicated meals on the weekends. Plus, my wife does not price shop very well. There could literally be a one pack and a two pack of the identical item right next to eachother for the same price, and my wife will get two of the one packs.

All Things Brisket
in Food and Travel
Smoking my first brisket of the year tonight. Starting the fire about 3am. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
