  1. Been there a couple times, summertime only. Very pretty, good food and close to various places to hike and bike. And perfect summer weather. Only con is not too close to the main national parks but close to lots of gorgeous places, expensive, and about as diverse as snow (though that might be a pro if you are WP)
  2. Our style is Nancy's Hustle and Coltivare. We love Coltivare for convenience, the spaghetti and buratta. That Armando's meal sounds delish.

    Houston BBQ

    Live in Spring branch and work by NRG so I will be trying Feges and E's a couple times each and report back. I've been going to Truth pretty consistently since it opened so sorta spoiled.
  4. Lucky enough to have traveled through 3/4 of Latin America and a good chunk of the world. Here are my death row meals: Best breakfast is central american.....over easy eggs, refried beans, Salvadoran queso duro, plantains, and a tamal de elote with crema with a side of thick ass tortillas. Don't bring that hollandaise and poached bullshit to this thread cuz you lying. Best lunch is Texas bbq, American cheeseburger, or Mexico City street taco Best dinner is Argentinean bife de ojo with 2 to 5 gallons of chimichurri on side Best dessert is French nutella crepe. I don't apologize that 2 out of 3 meals are Latin american...and lunch could squeeze in mexican to make it 3 for 3 (but I'd go bbq, gun to head). I love many other cuisines so I'm not a hater but was inspired by this post.

    Houston BBQ

    You are subtle, not sure who you are talking about. I know nothing about homey but I do know that I gave papa Charlie's a try a few times but I stopped going when I would order moist brisket at 1130 am and they--consecutive times--told me all they had was lean. How do you consistently run out of moist brisket 30 minutes after opening when there was no line? I don't want to trigger any ladies/mother's on this day so I'll leave my opinion on those who order lean brisket for another day.

    Houston BBQ

    I don't eat bfast and go to lunch every day at 11 am. I've been to Truth probably 25x since covid and I've never waited more than 5 minutes at 11 am (weekdays), even thu and fridays. I see the line form while I eat and when I'm leaving at 1130-1140ish, it's gotta be around 20 minutes normally, with Fridays being north of that for sure.
  7. Completely agree with premise but inheritance is by far biggest driver of wealth for average American. HOme ownership is certainly key factor though so buy buy buy.
  8. Agreed. Not great. Not awful. Worth my time but not going to run to watch it again, ever. And I've sadly watched Jack reacher 11 times. Also, not that woke besides one female officer. Expected more after reading some comments, like gay and tranny soldiers winning and being fabulous.

    Yoga

    I go to Memorial Big Yoga a few times a week. Hot, vinyasa flow. I've always been in good shape from running, mountain biking, and basketball. As I aged however, flexibility went to shit and back issues began. Yoga is great exercise and those who say otherwise have likely done less intense classes meant for relaxation and hippie bullshit. It will absolutely make you lose weight and possibly make you fart in front of 42 year old memorial milfs.
  10. I probably go to Truth (htown) once every other week. Slightly more convenient for me than Pinkertons and I heart their corn pudding like no man should. Never been to Truth Brenham. Is bbq better in Brenham or same? I don't care about ambience so only talking taste.
  11. Sam kept us in many games because of consistently shitty 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarter throws. I judge by whole game, not by who had solid 4th qtrs (which Sam definitely had). I'm definitely not a Sam hater, btw, just wouldn't even place him as a whole-game qb pick in top 50 or 75 of last 10 years. I still believe he is slightly above average. Like, life on line choice to make one throw, no way I would pick Sam in my top 5 each of last 4 years. Interviews and passion, sure.
  12. Agree. Sam was a very slightly above-average college QB. Take away his passion for burnt orange, he would have gotten grilled on this site so much. But that passion and photo as a kid created a story that made it difficult to think critically about him for many. He definitely had his moments, like all slightly above average quarterbacks do, but I say damn were there a lot of throws missed that should have been completed (even with our OL).
  13. What area are you in and how much did this cost? Love this.
  14. Definitely this. I will YouTube to watch to make sure I'm doing it sorta right. I don't feel bad at all that I've never changed oil in my life but I also don't want to haul it from my ranchito to Houston (and back). So I'm doing it myself and can't wait for black smoke to come out from the engine like a pope still hasn't been picked.
  15. I'd say it's first among 1,276 equals.
  16. I have a 14x30 or so and love it. Agree with everything @ROFL BOX said. I insulated after a summer in Texas without insulation even though I had new window unit ac. Still sucked. High ceilings didn't help. insulation helped a ton. I added 1/4" plywood all through to 7 feet high, recommend that too because I hit the insulation way too much until I added that. Hell, I still hit the insulation above the 7 foot plywood on occasion with long lumber. I only have 2 outlets and it makes me sad. Get a portable heater. Build two work tables, long one for mitre saw.
  17. At 22, fresh out of UT, I was sent on a few trips to London and India for work. My bosses forced me to drink a bunch of high-end gins. I was used to guzzling low quality Long Island Ice Teas at the Buffalo Club at 1:55 am....yet still, I hated gin. Fast forward a couple trips and I became convinced you ain't a drinker if you don't like gin. It's the drinking man's drink.
  18. Ftr, I ain't a Pappasito's detractor even though I wrote apparent tex mex blasphemy---one that I will fall on a sword for btw. Their butter sauce + fajitas, tortilla soup, and queso are all legit and regulars for me. It's just that the salsa is marginally better than taco bell packets.
  19. Since you brought it up...pappasitos salsa is average at best. For premium prices, don't give me inferior salsa. And their chips always need salt.
  20. Buffs burger in Houston is good. But lately, been liking Mia's cheeseburger. Sorta has a high quality burger from a little league field (somehow, that's a compliment) taste to it. Buffs is a touch more natural and organic to me, which is and isn't always a good thing.
  21. Did you have a main switch to turn power off at sub panel to install? Or did you have to turn off main switch at main panel to make sure no electricity running to sub panel?
  22. Just got the Polaris Rzr greatest. Reading the maintenance schedule and says change oil after 10 hours of first use. Ummm, do yall follow recommendations on oil changes and such? Am I alone in thinking gtfo with changing oil after 10 hours of use or am I acting like my wife who won't change oil in car until something burns?
  23. I have eaten and pissed at Hruska's in Ellinger 1,453 times or so. Very decent cheeseburgers, btw, on top of quality kolaches. However, I have never tried Peter's BBQ just 2 businesses down. Anyone tried it?
