  1. Fair enough. Not a very relevant comparison. Just saying that $4.5 million is not an unbelievable number. I’ve eaten at their trailer 20 or 30 times at the most random parts of the day, when restaurants shouldn’t be crowded, there was always a line. If they’re ringing up a new order, say every three minutes or so all day from the time they open to the time they run out in the evening, and each order ranges from $20 to $80, it adds up to a shit load of money.
  2. I don’t think that’s an unbelievable number for a restaurant at all, even a trailer. Your average Chick-fil-A brings in that much revenue, and a busy Chick-fil-A brings in twice as much. They’re running more people through, but those people aren’t spending 25 bucks a person. Plus the catering, plus the location at the Austin FC stadium, which I never went to because the line was longer than the line to get into the stadium. I used to go to that trailer a lot and try to get there at odd times like 3:00 in the afternoon on a weekday and there would be 10 fucking people in line even then. And another 10 already eating. They had times when the line wasn’t too long, but they almost never had times when there was no line at all. Just ringing up at least $20 per person almost nonstop all day.
  3. Well, those are easy numbers to hit…. If you have fucking pickles!
  4. It’s me. I’m completely exhausted from it.
  5. Turn a close shave into a woohoo. You’re the color of the colored part of the wizard of oz movie.
  6. I ate there yesterday. But not one of the old ones.
  7. I was there a fair amount in the early 80’s. I was a couple neighborhoods over, across Burnet so it was just out of bike range for us. But we went there a bunch.
  8. “ Well Officer, there I was doing the speed limit in the right lane, when all of a sudden a squirrel darted out…”
  9. Following up on the previous post above…. Cody Pools called me today. They are paying for core sample testing on every pool they built with concrete from that specific subcontractor. They built around 200 pools with that company’s concrete and are core testing all of those pools, including mine at $8000 per test. So far they’ve tested 20 pools in that group and all 20 have been found to have ASR. All 20 are being demolished and rebuilt. That particular concrete business has now gone bankrupt and their insurance company has stopped paying for those core samples and pool rebuilds. Cody Pools’ insurance company has now taken over paying for it all, probably while fighting with the concrete company’s insurance. The core sampling is moving slow and they probably won’t get to mine until late this year, unless cracks develop before then. Cody assures me the insurance money is there to rebuild every one of those 200 pools that are likely affected. But I’m worried about policy limits running out before they get to mine. Hopefully they can subrogate some of that from the concrete company’s insurance to decrease the chances of that. Good times ahead. Guess I’ll hold off on building the covered patio next to the pool. Gonna start a list of all the things I’ll do different on the second one.
  10. I got an email from Cody Pools today saying that mine was built with concrete from the subcontractor that built all these ASR affected pools. Mine was built two years ago and I don’t have any evidence of cracking in the shell yet but it’s also covered up and I haven’t been in it since the Fall. I’m going to give it a good visual inspection when the water warms up. Cody didn’t offer up any testing or anything. But reaching out to let me know about it was at least a good gesture. I can’t imagine this will go smoothly though if mine starts cracking.
  11. Not only did you click it, you posted it here for a few thousand other people to click it. Don’t give these wannabe self-proclaimed journalists a voice. The coverage of sports and social media in general would be better off if 3/4 of these dickheads had to go get a real job.
  12. I didn’t say he looked better or worse than Maalik last year. Just presenting a data point that says spring games are not all that indicative of performance in real games. No pressure, no threat of being hit hard or tackled at all, free to take risks since the mistakes come with no consequences, etc… He looked amazing today and I loved every minute of it that I saw. Doesn’t really mean shit though. We are in good hands when his time comes.
  13. Arch looked great today. Of course Maalik Murphy wrecked shop in the same game last year.
  14. Sounds like Mom had a Bad Attitude.
