Anyway, we were right across the street from Loro, so we ended up going there. It was... pricey. We had the pork belly, the smoked prime bavette, and the chopped brisket sandwich (sliced brisket not available until 5 PM). All of it was good, but nothing so great that it makes me want to go back. Honestly the chopped brisket on the sandwich was the best part of it, makes me wonder how good the sliced brisket might be. But I'll likely never find out.
Next time, I'm definitely insisting on Leroy and Lewis. Thanks to all for the recs.

Agreed. Too bad Shaggy decided they wanted to live with their dad after the divorce.
I don't like the rub that LA uses on their brisket or beef rib. It's cooked perfectly, but it just tastes off to me. Worse than off, to be honest. It tastes BAD to me. I tried it twice, no desire to go back.
On the other hand, I absolutely love the way John seasons his brisket. IMO.

Wait, you need a reason to drink beer before noon?
I sure as hell don't, and sitting around in a line on an East Austin sidewalk is not the way I want to spend my breakfast beer time. The lake, the golf course, my backyard, those are all infinitely preferable morning-drinking spots, rather than hanging out with a bunch of hipsters/tourists who are in it mostly for the instagram experience. I can live without that.
Which is why I like preorder.
But, it takes all kinds, so here's to you, Mr. line-squatting morning drinker!

Parking is funky because there is a climbing gym that also shares the lot with the food trailers. May have to get creative on a Saturday.
Thanks, appreciate it. I'll have the kids in tow so if parking isn't easy, I may have to bail. We'll see when I get there.

Texas BBQ tend toward sspare ribs because they are way better than baby back. Yes, that's just like, my opinion, man. And, most of Texas, too.
Finally gonna be in South Austin on a Saturday for lunch so I'm hoping to hit up Leroy and Lewis today. Anyone know how the parking is? Looks like it's tucked away in some commercial buildings or something?

I've never had "consistently horrible service" at any of them. I've occasionally had spotty service at all of them, but really no different than anywhere else in this city.

How does one install grommets? I could google I suppose.
Grommet tools. Basically cuts a circular hole in the fabric, and then clamps the rings on either side of the hole. They snap-lock in together, holding the fabric in-between. But yeah, a quick google search and video demonstrates it clearly.

Growing up, Saturday morning breakfast was often my dad making scrambled eggs with chorizo. Not in a taco, just straight on the plate. When I smelled that, I knew it was time to get my tail moving. And that's still one of my favorite breakfast foods of all time. In a taco, straight, I even like it on a piece of toast.

Yup. Not many places open for evenings, and fewer still on a Sunday evening.

For the first few years, Tyrion was the consumate anti-hero. Then he got whiny and boring. For the last few, he's been a non-factor - a waste of air time, and giving him this fucking speech where he suggests that another do-nothing waste of time become the king was a massive let down. Fuck these fucking writers. They were truly weak.
Jon giving the impassioned speech would have been far superior. But maybe the writers couldn't figure out a way for a fighter/rebel to recommend a mealy mouthed fuckhead should be king.
How about Jon escaping from his cell, showing up at their little "summit", chopping off Grey Worms fucking head and telling everyone else that they've gone thru too much to hand over power to shitheads and foreign armies. He challenges every one of them to pick up a sword and take him on to prove that they have what it takes. Sansa is the only one brave enough and smart enough to see what he was doing. When she stands up and draws a sword, Jon kneels and says "there's your new Queen" and walks off.
Anything would have been better than the shit they fed us in Episode 6.
Fantastic!

Yeah, don't think it would react well with explosives...and those loads going in the water are probably going to really fuck up that river. I caught a lot of catfish in that area (closer to Muskogee).The fertilizer in there is not the kind that explodes. And as bad as it is in water, yeah. Plenty of water to dilute it.
Heck, those river banks will remain lush and green for centuries because of it!

Good, but I don’t understand how Arya has jaime’s face if Jaime isn’t dead. Other than that, much better ending.
Yeah, that bit was off. I also don't think we need the white walkers to freeze the bay at King's Landing to engage the Iron Fleet, because if they possessed that power, then they would have done it millenia ago to simply freeze the ocean and walk around The Wall.
But in general, all of that sounds much better than what we got. It's actually pretty close to how I wanted it to end-- and expected it to end-- about 3 seasons ago before the show runners completely lost their minds.

Eh, Lewis could say, "Ferrari has absolutely no chance at all" and it wouldn't change the outcome.

So does this one have to wait until September like a lot of state laws, or could it happen sooner?

Why does my sister always schedule her birthday brunch during the 500?
Because you touch yourself?
No, seriously, my folks were always trying to do stuff on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend as well. So my brother finally put an end to it by hosting an annual Monaco Grand Prix/Indy 500 party at his house. We do Euro breakfast and Champagne and watch Monaco (delayed until about 10 AM) and then go immediately into American lunch and beer whilst watching Indy.
Perhaps you could offer to host her at your house, with the race being on your televisions throughout the event, of course?

They needed to burn those ribs a little longer.
Lots of sugar in the rub and plenty of heat gets you this. I don't know if that was their particular recipe for success, but I've seen it a hundred times.

Agree. Tyrion should have been dead, not nominating Kings while in shackles.
I'm fine with Tyiron living, since the only reason he's shackled is because he committed 'treason" against a dead tyrant who wasn't ever really a monarch of Westeros anyway.
But definitely think Jon Snow should have been the one nominating Bran, if we're forced to endure the kingsmoot plotline. Or better yet, Jon just drops the mic and walks away to the North and lets the 7 kingdoms sort themselves out. His Watch is done and everyone else can GF themselves.
What's really frustrating is that most of the ideas floated here over the past 2 months would have been better and more consistent with the first 5-6 seasons of the show than what we ended up with. And we're just a bunch of assholes on an internet message board.

I've been working on our guest bedroom, it's basically been a junk/storage room for the past several years, since we moved into the house. But I've had grand plans for this room, oh yes I have. I'll x-post some of this to the mid century modern thread, too, since there's a lot of MCM pieces and influence in my design.
I built this large wooden headboard/wall art piece out of construction lumber, with a lot of help from my 9yo son and 11yo daughter. And then I let them do the majority of the staining/finishing themselves as well. They had a great time and learned a lot, plus the piece looks pretty good.
Floating sideboards for a cleaner look, with 7 coats of spar urethane on each because I don't trust my guests not to put drinks directly on them without a coaster! And this chair is now my favorite place to sit in the house and read...
The reading lights are wired through the headboard and placed on separate remote-controlled switches.
This was an odd niche on the opposite side of the room, so I added the built-in desk, made from a hollow core door with birch veneer.
