    I did - electrician put in the lock-out switch on the breaker box and then connected the external socket where I p-lug in the 240V cable from the generator. And the lockout switch is what keeps the power from back-feeding up the external wiring to the pole and is required by law.

    Here's an old post I put up after the freeze about connecting a portable generator to your fuse box to power the house. I can use propane, gasoline or connect to the natural gas line by the dryer if needed. (post 394)

    Yea, I told mine that if they want to go to UT, get good grades and shoot for grad school...

    Sorry to derail this thread so this will be my last post here and any further ones will be on the Surly kids who didn’t go to UT one… Yea, never had been to Fayettenam until last year but the old town by campus is great and reminded me of Austin the the 80’s when I attended UT and will probably buy a house there for the kid to live in next year. @irishtexan - yea, kid does manual labor as a job now and benches 300# at18 (no ‘roids) But won’t need to swing a shovel as he can use his trust fund to hire someone to dig a ditch for him if needed…

    That was the exact expression I had when my kid asked a few years ago if he should follow my career (and his grandfathers) as a E&P geologist… 😂

    Graduating top 10% but wants to do supply chain and the Walton School ranked pretty good and they are giving him money. Didn’t want to go CAP route and then risk not get into McC business school… Can get a Masters there in 5 years (actually closer to 4 with all the AP credits he has going in…) A third of the undergrads there are from Texas…

    Ha - My kid is going to pig in the fall and I told him I'm putting a hog sticker on his car because of Texas tags...

    You know, that's at Ol'Miss, right? I'm sure he'll have a job lined up from daddy or one of his buddies dads who thinks what he did was great...

    The only thing I recall or paid attention to of those the protests/tables on the West mall at that time was Sister Sally preaching about how sorority girls evolved into sluts and whores... (I stopped to listen for pointers...)

    My aggy BIL is texting that the video I sent him about the protest in CS is a fake video...

    I'm not sure Protestingpropertytaxes.com is still alive - I just put in my address and it just spins... (And I had paid for a yearly report but haven't gotten one this year...

    Bidet Meta Threas

    Grimas replied to luke duke's topic in Lulz

    Look on Amazon for a portable one - it's just a water bottle with an extended neck that you fill-up and squeeze. I take it every time I travel... (and my own roll of Charmin super soft for the final wipe as most hotels have cardboard especially when you are used to a bidet at home...)

    They changed to a new system and you couldn’t upload your data until January. There was a glitch in the system that rejected a large portion of those submitted between January and early March - most regarding issues with signatures the system couldn’t recognize and the system was locked until mid-April so you couldn’t make corrections. Many schools still haven’t received the FAFSA from the site so can’t send out their letters to students and the May 1 date most schools want the students to accept is fast approaching…. The form itself wasn’t the issue but we have friends who actually need those financial aid forms to chose where their kid will go because of cost and need for the financial aid. Mine aren’t getting crap beyond their merit scholarships so it really doesn’t matter to me other than having a nice summary before I start writing checks…

    Uh, create a new thread? (oops, blacklab beat me to it...)

    I assume this is for all schools but ours has an option for graduation where you say you aren't submitting a FAFSA form as an alternative. I don't expect a dime for either of mine but one thing I plan on doing is having both of mine take that $5K government loan (in their names) so they know they have skin in the game (and I'll pay it off when they graduate...). We also need the FAFSA for a private scholarship that they apply for in August...
