  1. Agreed. Now y’all who’re without sin can cast the first stone but he’s flesh and blood just like the rest of us. I enjoy watching all sport but Tiger at his peak is the best of all time for me.
  2. power was out for about 50 hours but been on but for a few short outages since early yesterday morning. having pressure issues with water now but other than that water has been good the whole time (pressure and hot/cold functioning). dripping inside and wrapped outside. if i continue to drip and no other obvious issues bw now and going above freezing for good tomorrow will i make it through unscathed? tldr if water continues to function are you out of the woods once it gets above freezing (meaning not vulnerable to busting when warming up since you've maintained flow the whole time?)
  3. Final question then I’ll stop the thread jack. Just turned off gas and fire immediately went to smoldering. Wood is kept in a place that it typically dry but the hell blizzard someone managed to get way under the porch and cover the stack so it’s a bit damp. So options are keep burning hot with gas rod lit or turn off and try and make to to friends’. Thoughts?
  4. I’m sorry I snapped. Just stressed out. Thanks to all with suggestions. My concern with turning off gas is that it won’t burn as hot and will be smokier but I will give it a shot. Thanks to all and sorry again. Just a bit on edge with all this bullshit.
  5. Fuck you bitch yes I’m fucking serious. This is an incredibly stressful situation and I’m weighing keeping my family here for the night sitting in a room that seems like it’s getting more and more smoke in it or losing them up and trying to get to friends which is also very dangerous as we’re in a hilly neighborhood. In normal times if I feel like smoke is coming back in the house we’d just open windows turn on fans not camp in front of the fire etc. none of this are options now. Fuck you and your lame ass tired unhelpful response.
  6. Flue is open and have been burning a fire since Sunday night. Just feels like the smoke as gotten progressively more present inside the living room in the past few hours. We typically don’t sit in the same room for hours and hours with a roaring fire so just paranoid.
  7. I have a fire place with a rod across the bottom. Turn the gas on light the gas coming g out of pipe. Burn wood. I’m (1) concerned it seems to be getting a bit smoky in our living room and (2) worrried about us being right in front of fire place for hours at a time while that propane is blasting through that pipe and burning the wood. Any thoughts / help on those issues? Does it merit leaving house trying to get to friends?
  8. basically our situation. Gonna wait until warmest part of the day and try and 4WD it out of the hills and get to friends place. I’m more pissed / feel more helpless than I’ve ever been but then think about so many out there less fortunate who are truly facing life death situations. Just an amazing breakdown on so many levels.
  9. Going on hour 28 with no power in Barton hills. We all slept on floor in living room in front of fire but with these shitty original construction windows it can't be much above freezing in this house if at all. Down to barely any power on phone again but will go charge in car in a bit. No internet. No hot spot. No computer power. Neighbor tried twice to get out yesterday and just slid back down hill so stuck here. No telling how many across Texas died last night. Maddening. People need to go to jail for this.
  10. Anyone been out in central Austin today? Lost power over 12 hours ago and considering hotels but don’t know if I can get to one.
  11. Same here in Barton hills.
  12. Think I’m going hand-warmer, noodle, towels, plastic bag, tape and just hide and watch.
  13. I’m using noodles. I have some hand warmers from skiing. Would putting a few of those inside the noodles make a difference? Also I feel like I’ve seen conflicting theories on outside water spigots. Drip them or don’t drip them?
  14. Oh. Central American and whatnot
  15. 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?
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. 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.
  19. Bernard how did you get her signed up? We're in Austin but willing to travel. Thanks for any info you can provide.
  20. yes under 65 and did say i had insurance. i'll start calling around too. thanks
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. 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?
  24. 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.
