  1. The lawyer's name sounds like one of those made up names your brain would try to invent if you had to make up a name on the spot. .... Mong ... Mongel ... Mongel- J - Uzzi Robert J. Mongeluzzi!
  2. Just get multiple bids and compare them side by side. I went through this a year ago and it reminded me of the typical sleazy used car salesman experience. Do a little research on equipment manufactures, warranty, installer reputation and then make a choice.
  3. Here is a article about the restaurant (old yacht Harbor Marina - now Sail-n-Ski) They built the kitchen in sections on trailers so that they could be yanked out in a flood like this. https://communityimpact.com/austin/weather/2018/10/17/lake-travis-restaurant-7-feet-underwater-owner-prepared-flooding-was-inevitable/ My wife's family lake house will be flooded today. At least the first level garage and 'basement' areas. They recently put it on the market and it's completely empty so the timing couldn't be more perfect if you are to look at it as a glass half full event. On the other hand, my BIL and I spent several hours last night helping an elderly lake neighbor move his tools and shop equipment into storage. We only put a dent in it. He's going to lose a lot. He has a 1950's jeep restoration project that will be completely submerged. We offered to help try and get it to higher ground but he wanted to concentrate on his shop. Sad.
  4. Sundance’s Grill at Sail N Ski marina Lakeway.
  5. I bought a boat that was being stored at Wirtz. I moved it to Travis and called it the "Wirtz Dam Boat". It had a big black Johnson.
  6. RIP Sears Barton Creek Mall. Now I don't know where to park on my yearly trek to the shopping mall to buy my Yankee candle.
  7. Llanosunami 2018 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  8. Before anyone takes possession of the uniform, check the lining for dead Nazi gold.
  9. I spent a year as a kid living next door to the base commanders house. Is that little marina still down the road? Bet it’s not anymore. Glad you’re okay.
  10. I'm guessing all wifi enabled t-stats will communicate the inside temp in real time to a connected phone. Chewbacca is asking if they can send you an alert or alarm if the temp drops below a certain threshold.
  11. OP should change thread title to "Ask me a couple of things about agriculture"
  12. I was in Mexico recently and had queso ice cream. Not bad. It would be my preferred method of committing suicide I guess.
  13. Can you explain "disaster farming" as it pertains to corn/cotton farming?
  14. I had a friend that always said that he wanted to die peacefully in his sleep like his grandfather did... and not screaming and crying like everyone else in the car. (nod to Todd Snider).
  15. I predict a shit ton of car accidents as everyone driving a car will be glancing at their cell phones at exactly the same time.
  16. I use a Facebook login for my Slickdeals account. Does this mean that someone is going to do my Black Friday shopping for me?
  17. What happened to 'zero fucks given'? Fuck all this shit.
  18. Cool project. Thanks for posting. Looking forward to seeing your progress.
  19. Subscribed. I'm in the market for a leather sectional sofa with built-in recliners. Same price range as AB - perhaps $500 more. Has anyone purchased from Sams or Costco? What's the quality like?
  20. Corn dogs and frozen hush puppies kick all kinds off Ass. Elvis wishes that he lived long enough to own one.
