  1. We did a total gut and added a second story so... a lot. The nice thing about our old house is that with pier and beam you aren't as restricted on where you can put plumbing on the ground floor as you are with a slab. This was after they put a new subfloor down; before that you could see straight down to the dirt.
  2. Tel-Wink Restaurant & Grill is pretty good too. Around the corner from Dot.
  3. Ours was build in 1935. Wood was much more dense back then is seems. We had some issue with the foundation (pier and beam) and you'll have to eventually replace the pipes and wiring, but other than that it was fine. Not because the house was a problem, but we did a full remodel a couple of years ago and the exterior walls are about the only thing original at this point.
  4. Well shit. Houston (IAH)
  5. Anyone have a good car service/drive they use for airport pickups/drop offs? I used to have a guy back in the day that was great. He'd be waiting at pick up with a sign, was pleasant, and his car was clean and well maintained. I'd like something similar to that for some international coworkers who are coming in for an event. Before someone tells me to pre-arrange an Uber I want someone with the licence to enter the airport and with a vehicle I know is adequate. I don't want my folks to have to hassle with searching for their ride in a new airport after getting off 10+ hour flights.
  6. So they rate bourbons like Surly rates super models?
  7. Anyone heard about this place? I mean... damn what an idea. https://punchdrink.com/articles/jbs-whiskey-house-rare-bourbon-whiskey-collection-nashville/
  8. How long did you need to decant a '95?
  9. Nothing vintage, but one of our favorites.
  10. 8 as a righty. Every other way feels odd.
  11. Sur-uhry?
  12. We tried Circus Circus steakhouse about 7 years ago. It had a nice steakhouse atmosphere, the food was good not great, but I didn't feel like I had gotten raped when we left. You need to go Birdbox on the way in because one look at the casino and it's clientele will make you lose your appetite.
  13. Avatar and Lost in Translation come to mind. I started watching Black Panther on the plane and got bored and went to sleep.
  14. I would use one but apparently need a more scenic backdrop for it to work properly.
  15. Hey, my girlfriend may not be pretty, but she's got a HUGE dick.
  16. I got one today where the first words out of the robot's mouth were: "Do not hang up, this is NOT a sales call." Then proceeded to try and sell me nursing care or some bullshit like that.
  17. It's terrible and awesome all at the same time.
  18. As a family we rented this one: http://www.canalcruisinginfrance.com/barging/phenicien.htm It was pretty bad ass, but you could probably walk faster than the boat travels. Good food and a nice open bar for 7 days did not suck.
  19. Comin’ in HOT!
  20. Can we just talk generally about how fucking much louder the commercials are than the shows? Fuck them in general.
  21. Wow, Lawrence has all day back there.
