The great thing about surveying well away from Austin is the local food. This was lunch last week in La Grange, Texas:
it was nearly perfect. The bread was from a local bakery (Weikel's in La Grange) and both the slaw and the potato salad were nearly the best of the lot I've tasted in a long career. I won't tell you where this fare was, but I'll post the coordinates in a Custom Projection:
N = 5,000.000
E = 20,000.000
Note that units are US Survey Feet.
Now that's funny!
Kent, that's quite possibly the funniest thing I've seen you type in 12 years! Good job. It would have been better if the ribbing had pictures of ribs in it though. 🙂
It would be even better if you got some BBQ sauce on it but I'm sure it is still good. The best place is Kansas City and get the brisket or anything BBQ for that matter.

I was thinking the same thing, it looks kinda dry to me.
Those coordinates are too small. Now you can only go a mile south, think of the food you'll miss out on.;-)
Only if you like sugar as a BBQ sauce.
IF
it's got that sweet Kansas City sauce, I'd rather have mine dry. If you want GOOD barbecue you need to head to Carolina (North that is). FIRST it's gotta be pork though. "If you're gonna have barbecue - a hogs gotta die".

:good:

You can go farther south, those would just be negative coordinates....but I thought all coordinates in Texas were negative. (hmmm...maybe he's up in Oklahoma)

hmmm.... let's see, (using 0,0 as an origin), {punch,punch, punch, calc, calc, calc, scratch, scratch, erase, punch, punch, calc. scratch...] aha!
That's N = 5,000.010, E = 20,000.040 international feet. now I know where you are. er...you didn't use rtk did you?
Of course don't know how all these guys got so far north with their pork, and sugar, and bbq. I thought texas was cattle country. They musta' been workin' in meters. :'(

Oh, that would be in a different Custom Projection.

Kent, I think you erred with those coordinates. When I plug them into my data collector and press the button to navigate to them, it tries to navigate me towards one of my projects....
yuk-yuk...
If you want ribs, here's the place to go. http://www.dreamlandbbq.com
I guess I'm a glass half full/positive type. I could never go negative.;-)
One small scoop of tater salad, one slice of bread, one small scoop of slaw, and a few slices of meat??? Those are pretty small portions, or was that just the appetizer?
Oops, sorry. That was probably from the "senior menu". 😉
Wow....It looks like they deliver all over the country, including Alaska and Hawaii. Must be pretty famous...
Dreamland is the best of the best, but Interstate in Memphis runs a close second. I always prefer those who put the sauce to the side and let the customer decide. Interstate's ribs needed no assistance, fall off the bone tender every time I went, and just fine without any of that nasty tomato sauce.
A good also mention is a local franchise in North Carolina, seem to have a thing for buying up old Wendy's restaurants. I can't remember the name, but as something different, their vinegar based BBQ was incredible. Their coleslaw was the best I've ever had, really ticks me off I can't remember the name, yet another example of CRS syndrome.
The best of the best of the best were the pork steak sandwiches I used to get at a convenience store in Hayti, Missouri. Heaven between two slices of white bread, I kid you not.
I've also heard tell theygottalottaprettywomenthere.......
Confirm or deny??
