  1. Richard Jones was one of the franchise owners of The Pit, there were several other owners, including a man named Troy Tucker who some oldtime Austinites know, and also my dad. In addition to the ones you listed, there were locations in Cedar Park on Bell, and one at 183/Spicewood, which was our family restaurant when I was growing up in the 70s/80s. As the franchise began to break up, Richard Jones decided to split and brand his locations with his own name, but there were several others, and of course a couple of them survived longer than the rest. Anyway, yeah, I ate a lot of Pit BBQ growing up. I was even in one of the television commercials.
  2. I get why he doesn't want to wire into his main home panel-- on an old house, bringing everything up to code can get expensive quick. But that doesn't mean he can't wire up a small portable panel like the one I linked. Then he'd have circuit protection on all legs of the distribution. I agree that the 3-way dogbone without any fused protection, could be problematic.
  3. OK... Yes. It's what davidg said above, he'd really need to run the 30A service into a small breakerbox that drives a couple of 15A/20A circuits. But now I'm worried about how much power he thinks he can actually draw from that genny? It's not going to magically deliver more than 3200W steady state no matter how many cords you plug into it. At 120V, that 3200W represents ~27A. Your two 120V outlets can already provide up to 20A of that, so you're not going to get a ton more out of the 30A, or vice versa. Anyway, something like the panel below would cover what you're thinking about. You drive the 30A service into it (be sure you're using 10/2 or better) and then split with 15A/20A breakers inside that box, to drive the new legs of the circuit. https://www.homedepot.com/p/PowerMark-Gold-40-Amp-2-Space-4-Circuit-Indoor-Single-Phase-Main-Lug-Circuit-Breaker-Panel-TL240SCUP/202978667#overlay
  4. Yeah my app has been telling me it's raining at my house since about 5. It is not. It is not raining. There is no rain. It is zero rain, nil, un-rain.
  5. FRED! That is all. Oh okay, that's not all. Max, his car, and his engineers are just on another plane right now. Truly remarkable.
  6. I don't disagree but this is the chicken fried steak thread, good sir. The salisbury steak thread is over there ----->
  7. L-C-A, All The Way! Had to taunt my McCallum friends after that shellacking. Ed Small is pretty, pretty good.
  8. Cedar Park 29, Cedar Ridge 7 Timberwolves are back, baby! (or maybe we just don't suck again?)
  9. The server knew you had ordered incorrectly and fixed it for you.
  10. I've had zero good experiences at Micklethwait, but even if I had, I wouldn't suggest it for a client dinner when it's 100+ outside. Agree that both Terry Black's and SS should be good for your beef rib plan, so whichever is closest and is serving beef ribs at your desired time, is the one I'd do.
  11. Solve two problems at once. Put all the bikers on stationary bikes connected to electric chainsaws, and have them power the crews cutting limbs. I should run for city council.
  12. Their sound was terrible. Not kidding when I say it felt like my ears were gonna bleed. I've seen other Rush shows that were great. The sound on that one was awful. Quite glad I ditched.
  13. Eh. I saw Living Colour live at the Backroom and they sucked ass. Absolutely the worst band I've ever paid money to see.
  14. Faith No More opening for Billy Idol in 1990 I think. Both were good but Faith No More brought it. Candlebox opening for Rush in 1994 at the Erwin Center. This one is kind of a forfeit though. Candlebox killed it, but Rush didn't really have a chance. For some reason their sound engineering was so bad, it made my ears almost bleed. I had to leave after a few songs. I'd heard Rush before and it was a great show.
  15. Yup. It's one of the reasons we really needed to get out of the B12 after one year, like all the other teams that left managed to do. Three years has given them way too much time to amplify the fuckery,
  16. Hey y'all remember when that weird energy drink I'd never heard of became a fake sponsor for Haas?
  17. I specified they were making more on their Tier3 rights than Texas. Nothing else.
  18. Before the LHN, several schools were making more money on their Tier3 rights than Texas, because almost every Texas game was selected for B12 broadcast which was already covered in the Tier1/Tier2 contracts, while other schools regularly had games slipping all the way to PPV, where they retained 100% of the revenue. Funny how none of them ever mentioned that though.
  19. They can't even be original, the Czechs beat them to it centuries ago.
  20. Looks more like a lion rampant, to me.
  21. Fan fiction is wild, weird stuff.
