  1. This is essentially what I do with my well. I just super insulated the short line from the wellhead to the tank. Looks like it worked again this year. Flipped the power back on, turned the cutoff switch 45 degrees and got water coming out of the faucets and no apparent leaks. I don't have any sprinkler system tho as addressed above. Only problem now is getting the cutoff switch to stay on but I'll take that problem any day over busted pipes. I got 2 17 gallon washtubs, a large cooler, 2 large plastic containers, and various other plastic gallon bottles, buckets, pitchers of water for flushing and washing. Plus plenty of gallon bottles of drinking water I filled beforehand. It's still trial and error, but I heat up (I think) a 3 gallon pot of water on the stove for about 15 minutes for a shower. Empty that into a 2 gallon bucket and 1 gallon pitcher I set on the floor of my bathtub and that seems to be just enough for shampoo, conditioning and washing.
  2. Posting "DIAF" used to be standard operational procedure when discussing football, but now a poster is being "ripped to shreds and crucified" on a topic involving a mother and her children drowning- all on the forum where these discussions are supposed to take place.
  3. I'm mechanically declined, and I was told not to turn off my well last freeze, but I did cuz I'm hardcore like that, I do what I want and whatnot. Also tired of doing what I had been advised and still having pipes burst. Anywho, it worked! Bought an assortment of washtubs and plastic containers that I filled up beforehand for washing, flushing. Stocked fridge with drinking water. Not even sure if I needed to do this but double wrapped the line from the wellhead to the tank, stuffed some bags of old clothes around that, covered that with an old Gore-Tex sleeping bag (well, it's old now), then covered all that with Hefty Bags for moisture protection and aesthetic appeal. Opened up all faucets then shut off the well and drain off the pressure. I'll have my moment of truth in (probably) a couple of days when I flip the well back on.
  4. The 7-11 in Blanco has no water and I was told that applied to the whole town so I'm guessing water main break.
  5. The precipitation forecast made me think I could get up to Stephenville today from Blanco but once I hit some freezing drizzle north of Burnet the wipers and defrost couldn't keep up so I headed back home.
  6. Brett Favre would have stolen it anyway.
  7. Get Abbott on record weather he would favor a legislative enforcement feature based on the Texas abortion bill that would allow individuals to take legal action against companies or individuals they suspected of hiring illegals.
  8. I'm the King of the Worl*blub blub blub*
  9. Got upper management written all over them.
  10. You were a child reaching out brave and true For big things in the next room And I couldn't step into such open sky Where on the crest of uncertainty you loom I'm learning to hunt for you Say that you'll never run too far away Even with all the answers out there Where it's brighter but no one will care Half as much as I care about you I'm learning to hunt for you
  11. I'm not a telephone junkie If I'm inserting my coin I'm doing just fine. And the things in my head start hurtin' my mind. And I think about the way things used to be, knowing you with him is driving me crazy. Sometimes I phone you when I know you're not lonely, but I always disconnect it in time
  12. Can't you hear that rooster crowin'? Rabbit runnin' down across the road Underneath the Where the water flowed through So happy just to see you smile Underneath the sky of blue On this new mornin', new mornin' On this new mornin' with you Can't you hear that motor turnin'? Automobile comin' into style Comin' down the road For a country mile or two So happy just to see you smile Underneath the sky of blue On this new mornin', new mornin' On this new mornin' with you The night passed away so quickly It always does when you're with me Can't you feel that sun a-shinin'? Ground hog runnin' by the country stream This must be the day That all of my dreams come true So happy just to be alive Underneath the sky of blue On this new mornin', new mornin' On this new mornin' with you So happy just to be alive Underneath the sky of blue On this new mornin', new mornin' On this new mornin' with you New mornin', new mornin', new mornin' New mornin', new mornin', new mornin' New mornin'
  13. You'd know what a drag it is to see you
  14. "The only reason we never worked out was We didn't work out, it never works out" So good
  15. Also, that entire point I made before the music thing I posted could be wrong, but probably not cuz, hey. It's me.
  16. Way back when I posted a Loveless/Kevin Shields/MBV post and got a "well you're fucking wrong about this" post I responded to that was never reciprocated. So, just for the record and not that it matters, the starting point for shoegaze was pedal-free. And, the part that matters, beautiful
  17. Not as perty as that guitar *poink!*
  18. The Keith Moon of guitar exploding out of the tape from the start with that raspy midrange Hamer tone. Then at 1:28, a just barely off parrot of Zander's melody for the the first 2 measures. On the third, the melody's still there but wonky. On the forth, the wings are off and the plane's on fire. Then every instrument is in sync. Beautiful
  19. ...into scat porn
