    Ts&Ps to everyone's pools. This time last year, I was writing down an entire flowchart of what to do if things went south.

    And south did they go

    it was last week. I was there two days I had Velvet Taco, Perry’s Steakhouse, In-N-Out (never had it before) and then Terry Black’s on the flight home.

    was a cool trip. hung out at Caroline’s after dinner. took like a 4 mile walk on the river trail on Wednesday.

    none of the places were really my choice - it was all work driven but I had no complaints.

    You went to a Dallas taco shop, a Houston steakhouse, and a California burger joint.

    Austin food is trash so I can’t blame you too much.

    No culture, whites making tacos and Asian fusion, copy cats everywhere, overrated and saturated on all fronts.

    whites making tacos is everywhere in America but you don’t need to worry about that if you just go to Suerte

    Also the only Asian place I’ve been to is Kemuri Tatsu-ya but that’s the closest thing to the street food I had in Japan from any non New York or LA city I’ve been too

    The good food in Austin is good. Every city has mid places with no culture though.

    a lot of the guys I work with ate at Javi's, which is outside the city a little bit but close to our jobsite. I got dragged to In-N-Out instead that day.

    Depends on what area of the state. Dallas will go below freezing tomorrow night and will not get back above until sometime Friday, maybe. High is only 34 on Friday here.

    Supposed to be sunny on Friday, so hopefully that melts any ice that comes before. A real kick in the balls for people with kids in daycare though

    Funny enough, my mother in law comes to watch our kid during the week and her husband caught Covid on the 16th, so she wasn't able to come that week, then she tested positive on Sunday the 23rd. So she didn't come that week. She tested positive again two days ago, so for the past two and a half weeks we have been working shifts while he is awake and lets just say that shit sucks balls.

    It is pretty funny though as he is now talking a lot more so he likes to just scream at the top of his lungs when he gets excited, so basically if either of us are on conference calls, people end up hearing it. Luckily most of mine are internal and no one really cares but its been interesting.

    My mother in law's quarantine should be up for her to be able to come over and help on Thursday, which probably wont happen because of the winter weather.... So looking like its going to be next week now, lol.
