  1. Related question -- what exactly is heat tape? Can someone provide a link to HD or somewhere that shows a specific product? i see something called Frost King Pipe Wrap Insulation Tape...that what we're talking about here?
  2. We're in South Austin and it's almost freezing now but doesn't look like it's going to get much below 31 or so until Friday night. Does it make sense to cover outside faucets/pipes, drip interior faucets now or does that probably not need to happen until we get down into the 20's tomorrow night? i typically don't do anything if it's just a light freeze for a few hours. was planning on waiting until tomorrow
  3. It has a blue box on tomorrow but says none available. Does that typically mean they’re full or will they continue to trickle out? Thanks for posting
  4. Both my kids have gone there their whole lives. Bell is our doc but we’ve seen Dobson several times too. Everyone in that office has been so good to us over the years. Good lord.
  5. Bernard how did you get her signed up? We're in Austin but willing to travel. Thanks for any info you can provide.
  6. yes under 65 and did say i had insurance. i'll start calling around too. thanks
  7. I pre-registered through APH a week or so ago but haven't heard anything. i haven't had time to read through last several pages but is consensus that it makes sense to start calling HEB's again and see if they have any and you can get a slot?
  8. I'm in 1B and just registered via APH so now I guess I just wait for them to contact me to set up appointment? Anyone have any experience on how long it takes from registering to getting contacted to make an appointment? I don't understand why they took it out of HEB's hands. Seems like a lot more folks were getting shots when they were involved and now all I read about is appointment cancellation, long lines, etc.
  9. I don’t know anything about photography but enjoy this thread. Help me understand what you’re doing with that mannequin in all of your pics. Is it a subtle lighting thing or some other technique type thing?
  10. Yes my grandmother and everyone at her facility got it yesterday afternoon via cvs pharmacist that came onsite. My mom and dad were there visiting (they wheel gm out on the porch to visit from a distance) and the owner offered them 2 extra they had left over so they got dosed too. CVS guy said meet him back there on x day for shot 2.

  12. Thank you. Dad no. Mother has a shellfish allergy. Maybe that was the issue. I told them to both get proactive about getting on lists and dual trac that with reaching out to allergy doc.

  14. My parents’ primary care doc is telling them to “wait for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine” Has anyone else heard this advice or know the basis for it?
  15. Have a bunch of pheasant and quail they I’m wanting to grill. Thinking bacon wrapped with cheese and jalapeño. So I need to marinate the birds?
  16. You post a lot of these and they’re awesome. Really interesting. How common are abandoned churches like this and where do you see them (urban and rural)? What about other abandoned places? How long til the vandals come? How long til nature reclaims? Just curious. Appreciate y’all posting your pics.
  17. Any consensus on proper age for a boy to start shooting a shotgun? Been talking to him about him about gun safety and he’s been around my shotguns and rifles a bit but more interested in him physically handing the kick part of it. Haven’t shot a 410 in decades so don’t really remember how it kicks if much at all. Boy will be 8 in the spring but he’s skinny skinny (unlike his daddy).
  18. Voted mid-morning on Friday at South Austin Rec Center. In and out in 20 minutes. Maybe 5 in front of me and 15 behind when leaving. Straight D for me and, from the looks of it and if I was guessing, for most if not all of the folks there. I was surprised at how good it felt and how emotional it was for me to vote against that sack of shit and all of his R enablers / hangers on. In past I might have voted for an R or two down ballot (judges I practice in front of etc) but not this time or ever again. If you have that R (and maybe even more so if you acknowledge that he's a POS in private but are too scared to drop the R) you're dead to me.
  19. Totally get that. FWIW, we went during COVID times this summer and stayed at an awesome place in Tesuque that we found through this outfit: https://www.twocasitas.com/ It was during the quarantine and we just cooked at the house and did curbside and their version of favor (fetch I think) for places in Tesuque. They only have a few places to eat but they're all really really good. The house we rented backed up to a nature preserve and we spent a lot of time just hiking out on the back 40. Also nice that Tesuque is on the ski side of SF.
  20. This is what we've been doing as well. Skiing is fine for our needs (kids under 10 and wife and me just cruising blues) and Santa Fe is a great town for kids and adults. We love being able to go from the in town Santa Fe kind of southwestern vibe to an alpine scene in 30 or so minutes. Also an easy one day drive from Austin (can get to CO in a day too but those extra 4 or 5 hours are where you really start to feel it with kids) and we usually get there in time for supper and a stroll around the Plaza). We love the 4 Seasons, La Fonda, and Inn at Loretto but there are also a ton of good houses to rent (some secluded in the hills right outside of town but only 5 minutes away from the plaza).
  21. I've asked this before on TOS but it's been many years. I have a sub that I need fixed (hands and date don't turn when turning dial after pulled out) and an air king that i need to get a new face on. Is there a good Rolex repair shop in Austin? Should i go through an authorized dealer in Austin? Regarding the sub -- I'd lost it for over 5 years ago (thought our toddler did something with it or a contractor took it) and, yesterday, while cleaning out a few extra rooms, found it in a random old shoe box!
  22. We got google mesh and it’s night and day. Super fast everywhere in house with fiber router and the 3 pucks. Not my strength and I set it up in 10 minutes.
  23. Everything on their menu is awesome. Their fajitas are great too.
  24. did they make it home?
  25. that's what i did and it worked well. thanks!
