Mackieman, a new chain is invading central texas with chicken strips, it is Raising Cane's
If you have a bush's near you in AUS, FORGET IT! It is nothing compared to Bush's Chicken strips.
Review:
Chicken strips(only kind of chicken they have) - B they are a little on the small side which is fine, but the breading is a bit soggy and not as crisp as I'd like.
coleslaw - Horrible, I had to add salt and lemon juice to make it edible, and it is the diced style which is not my favorite in the first place. Good thing it comes in such a small container. (3.25oz container)
fries - crinkle cut, actually they were good
Cane's Sauce - their special 'secret sauce' it is a very high on black pepper Louisiana style remoulade that is really nothing special, I MADE it special however by putting Smoked Chipotle Tabasco and a hint of agave nectar, that kicked it up a bit and made it quite nice, however for the fat content there, might as well just have ketchup.
Texas toast - what can I say it is Texas Toast.

For Marriott, it works a little differently. Essentially, you sign up for it, and your guests buy you stuff that you've added to your list. Marriott then gives you a gift card for the amount that people have given that you can use any way you choose, meaning you don't have to actually do the stuff you put on your list. While it doesn't help your immediate honeymoon needs, it may come in handy down the light.

It was a nice "ride" and a good reason to get out and socialize a little

Good Evening Box.
Question for the more technically minded among us:
Our IT people sent out an email today warning us not to let the battery on an HP laptop discharge all the way down to 0%. They claim they received some sort of bulletin from HP that this could potentially cause damage to the laptop and/or the battery. Anyone ever heard of such a thing?

Also, they're running a promo that if your account reaches $1000, Marriott will give you another $100. Plus, people who donate will get 20 MR points per dollar spent. It's a great way for folks (like me) who would like to get you and Copa Connection a little something to do so and further our own travel ends.
As far as getting us anything, I have nothing else to say right now but thank you for the thought. I will at some point yet TBD know whether or not there will be a Box wedding contingent. If Teh Box's attendance at the wedding itself INP, there will certainly be an event in its place.

CLL isn't all that far if you make it across the swamps
