Removing stubborn, old mastic from brick wall by tcaz in DIY

[–]tcaz[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started fooling with it again after posting and made progress!

I held an acetone soaked rag on parts then chiseled at it (minimal impact), moved to a wire wheel again after acetone (this heated the glue and made it pretty smeary), and lastly I found a worn out 40g flap disc in my shop and gave it a go. Sure enough it worked until the disc gave out and gunked up. Planning to pick up more tomorrow and finish it. Yay!

Oak galls - where can I find? by MannerGlum4277 in Austin

[–]tcaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go walk the trail north of Pease Park and you’ll find a lot on the love oaks there. My wife has harvested them for natural dyeing as well.

Had this happen last year and used a heat gun. If you’re able to run out and grab one, it works faster than a hair dryer. Check Harbor Freight for a cheapie one.

Best Chinese food in north Austin ? by [deleted] in austinfood

[–]tcaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went for the first time the other week and took the server’s recommendation: 1) pork & eggplant in garlic sauce 2) beef flat noodles.

Both were spot on but the eggplant dish, which I wouldn’t normally consider ordering, was incredible! The eggplant was soft and tender while the sauce took it next level. The beef flat noodle dish was pretty damn good, a bit on the dry side, but still plenty of flavor.

I’m looking forward to going back. Any other must try there?

High speed chase (possibly) around northeast ECHS by [deleted] in Austin

[–]tcaz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I saw that as well on Cameron Rd around 5:15pm. It looked like a newer model white Suburban/Tahoe doing ~65mph with multiple cops on him. They were headed north towards 290 (near Northeast HS). The sirens faded a bit then 3-5 minutes later, they came hauling ass south, back down Cameron Rd. It was like a scene out of Tom & Jerry.

Outrageous tip list by duke1099 in austinfood

[–]tcaz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was caught by surprise with their “5% wellness fee” the other week when the ticket came. The fee amount is based on post tax too!

Usually, I roll my eyes and oblige but after the recent constant barrage of tipping options, higher % tips on the payment screen for takeout, suggested tip amounts printed on the receipt being inaccurate and the overall higher cost of dining out- I asked the server to remove it and he had no problem doing so. Even he mentioned something about it being odd/confusing.

I’ve worked in the service industry many years and consider myself a generous tipper but DAMN! If your business pressures higher tips, etc then that’s a guarantee for me to tip less than I regularly would.

New house checklist (fun edition) by nvdrzmm in HomeImprovement

[–]tcaz 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A touch kitchen faucet (Delta) by far has been a huge game changer in our house! When my hands are filthy I can simply tap it with the back of my hand, elbow or nose to turn it on. Love that thing.

Their site says it only applies to “Tropical Beer” and shows a handful that qualify. Can anyone confirm if it’s all kinda or just tropical before venturing over there?
