  1. I wouldn’t say I’m really into overlanding, but I do sleep in the back of my truck a lot.  I’m posting from the bed in the back of my truck right now actually..  It’s a long bed Tacoma. I have an exped mattress on top of a drawer in the back.  Midrise camper shell with screened. windows,and a fan clamped to the screen.   Fridge, solar, etc…


    Before the Tacoma, I had an LX 470 that’s posted up in Toyota thread. Similar set up with a bed and drawers in the back of it.  I’ve taken it up through Colorado and a little bit of Utah a couple of times. Other more local trips like Big Bend a few times.  Big Bend Ranch SP is good for that type of thing. Some of those campsites deep in the park are a good 30 miles or more from the pavement.  

    I wish we had more public land here for dispersed camping.

  2. As amusing as it would be to see, him spending a little time in jail would do wonders for his campaign. He’d rake in millions on day one.   It would fire up his base like nothing else has before, and they would see it as proof of his persecution.  He’s probably already got a bunch of pre-written tweets for someone else to post on his behalf just for the occasion.

    It's fucking gross. Looking at hot consenting women (nekkid or not) is awesome but it sucks to see such approval of shit like this from what is otherwise a reasonable group of people. This same group that (rightly) champions women's right to control their bodies shouldn't also applaud manipulating images to sexualize non-consenting women. 

    I agree completely.

    But anyway….

    Are these texts supposed to be bad or something? It's food service. If you're fucking up simple shit - like running out of pickles at a BBQ restaraunt - then you're going to be asked to not do that. If you don't like your boss then go work somewhere else. 

    What's more hysterical than comparing a BBQ trailer to a chik fil a is that two people repped this. 

    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.

  5. 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.

    I have an idea!  Why don't we leave both the preemptive thread-shitting and the reactionary thread-shitting to the doomsayer threads like ___ what the f is wrong with you and the great enshittification thread, and leave this one positive, as it was designed and intended?

    I'll go again--

    I grew up going here as a kid in the 70s/80s, and my kids have grown up going here as well.  And it really hasn't changed all that much, aside from 1/2 of it becoming an antique mall...

    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.

    Instead of a fine, how about 10 hours of community service for each violation?  I would love to see the dotard wearing an orange jump suit picking up trash along the Hudson River.

  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.

    Arch looked much better today (and threw a lot more passes) than Maalik last year. 

    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.

    Was this like the monk or just like lit his sleeve on fire and he’s fine now?  Not going to watch a video. 

    The only footage I saw was from kind of far away, but it looked like he burned for a while.
     

    The first comment I saw… “Break out the marshmallows!”  Lol

    I'm surprised Taco Deli wasn't lumped in with these two in that article. All three overpriced, over-conceptualized tacos for day-drinking Circle C MILFs. 

    It's kinda sad because I feel like the original Taco Deli on Spyglass was really good when they first opened 20 years ago...

    Over-priced for sure, but not bad tasting.  At least TD has some ingredients you might find in Mexico.  And Circle C milfs are my jam.
