Just a quick post

There are some exciting developments developments behind the scenes. We have a backlog of reviews to post as well as a new review topic. We have replaced an old friend that has been providing us transportation for some of our content with a new ride. We will be talking about it and accessories for it in future post.

So stay tuned more to come.

Voodoo Doughnut

My first thought about Voodoo Doughnut is oh my Lord that’s a big doughnut. These thing are huge and they are awesome

These were so good with so much filling. I really wish there was one near home.

The Driskill Bar

We just happened to stop in the bar to grab a meal and drinks.

We grabbed a shareable app, pulled pork quesadilla. It was great. We also had some masterful cocktails that were very well done.

For entries we had the pork belly and beyond tacos. Both we t well done and incredibly tasty. I’m fact I should apologize because they looked so good and we were so hungry we ate them before grabbing some pics. If anything that should tell you how good they were.

New travel suit case

I forgot to pay this earlier but I picked up a new hard side suit case for this trip.

We were looking online and keep seeing Traveler Pro coming up on recommendation list. They apparently were started by an airplane pilot made for frequent flyers. The first company to add spinning wheels.

We picked the Maxlite Air hard side case, in blue. We normally do soft side so we just wanted to try without going crazy. We also decided to go with the large size to replace an old America Tourister. We wanted something large and light weight for our longer trips next year.

We have high hopes for this case. We will keep you updated.

Eurika!

Left the hotel and walked down 6th Street. The locals call it Dirty 6th. We quickly found out why. There is a large number of dive bars and homeless people within a few blocks. We walked around looking for something to eat and ended up going to Eurika, which is at the start of 6th bar screen.

The food and service is great. The staff was very helpful and they made some recommendations that were spot on. We grabbed two salads. The Cobb salad and the steak salad. They were both great.

The real treat however is there whiskey selection. I was able to grab a flight of local whiskey to find some new likes.

The Driskill Hotel.

Touched down in Austin and headed to our hotel, The Driskill Hotel.

This is a beautiful hotel. It’s the second oldest hotel in Texas. It has a charm and elegance that you just don’t find anymore. If you get a chance you should at least visit the hotel next time your in Austin even if you can not stay here.

Coopers Barbecue

OMG This place is awesome. We grabbed some brisket and sausage and are already planning on coming back and we haven’t left yet.

You order your meats by weight and they are so good you don’t need sauce. The sides are cafeteria style, and great.

You really need to come to Cooper’s when you hit Austin. Oh did I mention the prices are reasonable? No well they are.

Good food reasonable price, what’s not to like.

Upper Deck

Decided to stop into another local bar in town. Stopped into the Upper Deck. It’s been going for years. Tonight I know why. The service was great and friendly. It is a place that gives you that local bar feel. We picked up some wings and beer. The wings were good and the beer cold.
