  1. Do you know why girls don't drink beer on the beach?.... they get sand in their Schlitz.   ba-doom-ding ... Seriously though, How is your laptop not getting destroyed by all of that windblown salt air and sand?

    One hotel not being mentioned is the Harbor House at Pier 21.  I stayed there last week and the rooms are very nice and the location provides quick access to all the restaurants near the Strand.

    that is extremely helpful, posrep. 

    it just seems like it should be an easy part to find as a standalone.

    If you end up buying that pump with the filter that you need, I recommend that you keep the pump just in case.  The pump in my machine went out last month and I was able to replace it in about two hours using YouTube as my guide.  Damn near had to take the whole thing apart to get to it.

  3. I saw the Eagles in San Antonio around 1994 with one legged Mike from Paris, Texas. Mike had spent a few years inside the grey walls of Huntsville. They said Mike, it’s your lucky day - we’re getting you a new leg and you get to pick the color!” Mike surveyed the medical brochure and pointed at the brown leg. They said “Mike, what the hell you want with a Mexican leg?” Mike thought it would be great if it looked like he had a tan year round. The Fucking Eagles man.

    Assumming you have a business/rent acct separate from personal...


    The rent house is in a LLC with other investments. The bank account is with Wells Fargo. I’m assuming she’s going for points but it could be the convenience.  If it is just convenience she could set up a auto bill pay through her bank.  Checks are becoming a thing of the past, but we aren't just going to eat a transaction fee.

  5. Based on the rec for Swappa in this thread I bought a mint Iphone 7 Plus 128 GB for $529 for my wife's birthday next week.  On time delivery was important.  The purchase and charge went through last Friday.  I just received an e-mail (Tuesday) that they didn't actually have this item is stock.  Refund pending. The seller was a merchant with hundreds of 5 star reviews.  

    So my experience with Swappa is 0 for 1 or 100% failure.

    Update:  Just purchased from Gazelle.  Mint Iphone 7 Plus 128 GB for $529 which is same as the Swappa.  Will post results.  

  6. I have a question regarding the timing range.  These charts all give a wide range from 1-4 hours or so.  That seems like a huge range.  In the 1-4 example, is the end product the same at the end of hour 1 as it is at the end of hour 4?    Traditionally it's the meats thickness that determines time but that doesn't appear to be the case with Sous-Vide.   And since it's vacuum sealed it's not like you can cut a piece to check if it's done.

    A good friend's brother went to grad school at UT in the early 00's, and he'd always crank these guys when he came home.  A total joke band, but hilarious and catchy at the same time.  I have to assume a few posters are aware of them.

    I used to catch Skunkweed every time they came to Austin.  They've played twice in the last year in San Antonio.  Go to their facebook page to keep track of future sightings.  They were all kinds of fucked up fun.

    I hung out a lot at Ego's when they had live music every night:

    James Ryder and the 420 Turnaround

    Guy Forsyth

    Bob Schnider / Scabs

    George Devore 

    Cotton Mather

    The Gourds

    Had a Titty Bingo bumper sticker but never put it on my car or heard the band
