    East Austin/Manor makes the most sense if we're actually entertaining this rumor. Its the closest, cheapest real estate in the austin area. And manor is quickly becoming integrated into Austin. Plus, there's the tech element with samsung and freescale nearby. 

    i told you homies this was my wish. next to my damn house in East Austin. 

    tack $100k onto my house value

    ????

    profit

    and so forth.

    skeptical hippo my black ass

  2. depending on how old you are + the chronic nature of the injury = i would recommend an MRI. 

    long time back sufferer here. I do 10+ things a day to keep my chronic pain down. Stationary bike, PT, pilates, stretching, multiple offices, chairs, standing desks, heating pads, ice, fuck me it goes on and on. SI joint instability is bad

    you want to chat just let me know. be happy to share my experience with you and lend some advice

    every back injury is different and they are all moving targets. good luck.

    This shit is a mess. Damn

    big mess. been a big mess.

    love how we get more upset at chem weapons than bombs and guns. eh. 

    so long as we have oil + strong economy we will let these instances pass (and the people in poor places will continue to die like always)

    if we have economic hardship then any one of these instances will prob escalate into war (US, Russia, Euro, China)

    at least thats how this usually works.

    Buddy of mine is a Director at Amazon in Seattle and we caught up when he was in town for SXSW. He was convinced that it was going to be Austin. Not sure he's in a position to know but he was pretty confident in the statement. /csb

    i'll give you my $9.95 if you can tell me it lands betwixt elgin/manor and east austin

    false hopes aint too bad for a monday

    Did another one with Willet tonight.  Starting to see the sublety.   Not a lot of bite but with a little less simple syrup and bitters, it had a little more oomph.  

    I'm not knocking Willet.   It's good.   I'm still experimenting with my preferences.   

     

    cool. i never really do a willet rye for an old fashioned, i do the willet bourbon. you weren't originally talking about the willet branded bourbon were you? the bourbon is a much rarer find than the rye. 

    for the willet rye try a manhattan. 3 parts willet to one part sweet vermouth. the rye really shines in this drink for me and willet really separates here for me (versus old overholt, rittenhouse, etc)

    (also - specs carries rowan's creek bourbon. i just learned its made by the willet distillery. its a bit sweeter but very damn good and great for OFs)

  6. 78723 checking in, and its weird

    my market appraisal is actually down 5%. first time in 10 years here. $298k to $280k  (rough numbers)

    my HS value (what i am taxed at) is up 10% doe. 255k to 280k. 

    i guess shows how ridiculous my 2017 market appraisal was/is

    also, my house value is down 35% and my land value is up 40%. WTF. why are they doing that? Is some kind of correction math or some shit?

    @staboner Only had a small pour mixed with coke zero.

    I kid. I get this characteristic balcones oily astringency that I pick up across a lot of their stuff (I don't know if that is the "proper" term, but I've used it to describe something i get in the bourbon as well). Loved it with a few drops of water. But I am a self professed Balcones fanboi.   

    This was Bee Cave Galleria. I burn my recipes when I walk out of the store, but I want to say this came in @$35 and there was a lot on the shelf (and blue corn bourbon in the case at front, or that may have been specs down the road, either way saw plenty on shelve recently).  It appears to me that Balcones has really ramped up their production. I remember when single malt was scarce, but that shit is everywhere all the time, and apparently they just laid up a huge batch of the rye as well. 

    got two bottles from the Twins at Hancock

    yes, i hear you. it has that balcones taste. its good. not my fav, but good.

    i keep seeing posts on this balcones rye but i have seen a bottle in the wild

     

    what twins did you hit up today? and are there any left? thoughts on the rye?

  10. we have a trickster playing global politics like its a card game. he is showing his hand over and over and overplaying all his cards. its remarkably dangerous. just hope that he does minimal damage and that our allies and trade partners are more mature than us, and once we come back asking for real business again - that they listen and understand - like fucking adults. Fondren's post is spot on. There is always good business to be had. 

  11. i've been on 3 websites with Tahoehorn for the last what, 15 years? amazed he still gets any serious replies at all. he will obfuscate and get circular no matter what. no matter why. republican water boy. its what he does. he is one of the most worthless posters i have ever encountered
