  1. Both for our gutter work & roofing, I've had customers tell me they got a referral via NextDoor.  Where we live, it's often 1/4 mile or more between gates so it's not like I can get on there to respond to comments or referrals... & Even then, I have figured out that it's limited to the area where YOU live & even if I was on ND, I can't connect into other areas or neighborhoods.

  2. Let's all make some guesses as to who will play AJ in the bio pic.  You all know it's eventually gonna be made.

     

    & As to the "what's he like off camera" + "what does he do for fun", can you imagine him on a boat, 50 miles offshore & hooks into a big whatever... "AAAAAAA!  I'm reeling this fish!  I'm going to drag it from the primordial depths of the briny deep & after hours and hours and hours of laborious effort, I WILL boat this fish!  I WILL filet it, from the tail of this fish all the way through it's soul & to the edge of the gill flap!  I will make many, many meals from this ocean dwelling creature!!!"

  3. Spoke briefly last night with Hornian re: durable POA, etc. & my mind drifted into an unfrozen caveman roofing contractor mode.

    I need to call him back.

    As to Judge Roy's ?, we are hopefully today or tomorrow getting her into Hill Country Care out here in Drip on 290.

    Odd thing, she is a patient, on 4th floor, but from a financial status is considered an "observation" status & that doesn't count towards the 3 night stay qualification that is apparently an automatic qualifier for ins. to pay.

    In the last 3 years, I've done 130 miles of Philmont back packing hikes

    1.  I don't know what's up with the Shag 2.0 site, but I don't seem to get any views on pics that are probably Tapa uploaded - all I saw on yours was (is) "02IAWst.jpg" & "qb9WST.jpg".

     

    2.  Philmont, eh?  We welcome you to join in @ the "General Scouting Thread" over in "Help".  Always happy to have an other Scouter over there.

  5. I'm in need of a 4 person tent... something that will easily fit the Cabela's cot I have.  Obv. this rig will be for car camping, not backpacking, so I can afford to ask for stand up height which will add to the weight.  A vestibule  or awning is a nice feature but not a requirement.  Probably a 3 season, no need for an Everest rated rig.

    Any product suggestions?  I'm kinda wanting to avoid the Wal Mart / Target brands & get something that will go the distance for a few years.  I've seam-sealed the 8 or 9 year old Eureka! that I used all through our Cub Scouting years, but it's just not working any longer (the seam tape from the tent floor + the fly are coming apart).

    Before long, I'll also be looking for a good long haul day-pack vs. a full on internal frame packer.

     

    Thoughts?  Ideas?  Suggestions?

    PS:  My dog just let out a horrific fart.

  6. Taking a beating with my Mom issues & having a shit show with getting records xferred to the nursing home, trying to get inspections & quotes, PLUS actually doing the work (which is the part I get paid to do).

     

    Move fwd to tomorrow & I have 2 kids to get to school (I do.the drive for TL;DR reasons), reinspection meeting near Manchaca, baseball practice for the boy, a gutter meeting @ 1900 (after practice) & maybe somewhere in the middle of this I'll either have word mom can get into the nursing home or I'll get a gibberish call or text & she is on the ground again.

     

    Here is the last text she sent me around 0700 Sunday:

     

     

    I guess leswanMm

    cv delmmpimnn

    cc Czech

    Llll

     

    Let's see if I'm expected to make dinner tomorrow night.

     

    Fun times.

  7. Been here @ South Austin Medical Center ~1.5 to 2 hrs. now, went to her house immediately after the campout & was @ her house approx. 4 hours after the neighbor's assist. Sidebar, he's related to Anastasis & am grad but in reference to 2%er, he''s proudly .0000002% & says he gets more shit from family & other agroids than Longhorns.

    Mom called me 2 hrs. after I left reporting chest tightness & radiating arm pain, so I drove her here (30 min. drive 1 way, + time to load, 45 min. to SAMC).

    Could simply be residual muscular problems from the driveway fall Friday night & exacerbated by the 2nd fall Sat. overnight.

    Obv. we have to wait on some labs & they have run x-rays again & she is in for a CT head, neck right now.

    Ran a strip & EKG seems OK.

    That's all I know as of now.

    Fun times.

  8. I need info / costs / what to do for a durable Rx POA.

    The sooner, the better.

    Mom had a fall in the driveway Friday afternoon while I was prepping for a Boy Scout campout & again last night while inside the home & I was still camping.

    1st Was eventually a 911 call & transported to hospital, broken top connective cartilage @ ribs.

    Today's early AM fall had her stuck on the ground for around 5 hours until until I could get there to assist & even then, it took me + the next door neighbor to get her up.

    I need to kick someone in the ass over @ records @ South Austin Hospital so they will forward her info to the nursing home & I can get her admitted... been since last Thursday when they received the signed release & as of C.O.B. Friday, still nothing sent to the nursing home.
