  1. 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?
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Think I’m going hand-warmer, noodle, towels, plastic bag, tape and just hide and watch.
  6. 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?
  7. 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?
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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.
  11. Bernard how did you get her signed up? We're in Austin but willing to travel. Thanks for any info you can provide.
  12. yes under 65 and did say i had insurance. i'll start calling around too. thanks
  13. 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?
  14. 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.
  15. 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?
  16. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. 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?
  21. 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?
  22. 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.
  23. 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).
