I’m just going to go ahead and make the non-scientific claim that Americans don’t know how to properly wear masks and all data collected regarding mask effectiveness in America should be thrown out. The amount of chin diapers and masks pulled down below the nose that I’ve seen every day throughout this past year is astronomical. And then you’ll see the few people who actually are wearing theirs correctly recognize a friend, and proceed to walk up and pull their masks down to have a long chat two feet from each other. I won’t even start on the aggy band cutting holes in their masks to play their instruments, bc well, it’s aggy and the bar is set extremely low for expecting anything resembling intelligent ideas over there. back on topic though, for the DFW surlyers, market street is another place to check if you’re looking for the vax. I called yesterday morning and they had plenty of availability at the Mansfield location. Was able to get myself and my in-laws appts. It sends you to the national call line, so they’ll look at all stores near your area and find you a spot if there’s one to be had

As expected, no sign of intelligent life

Literally just learning about ice dams. Walked outside to see ice forming down one of the cedar columns on our front porch and icicles forming on one of the porch overhang vents. Knew it wasn’t a bad roof as it’s relatively new and had been recently inspected. Glad I read about this and hopefully it’s just this spot. Will try and knock as much of it off as possible when I get home.

Island Lake (ILC). Only did one summer but would have loved to have gone back a couple more times. Beautiful area and very mild summer weather.

That. Teaching kids and teens how to mountain bike over the summer. Ranged from newbie classes to advanced kids wanting to learn how to pick better lines down the mountain. Pretty fun summer of riding trails in the pocono mountains all day, every day.

Too drunk to go back and look for your original post, but if the meat of it is that you’re going to shut off your water once the thaw hits, yes, turn your water heaters to pilot mode. My mom had her water cut off (by the city) and her water heaters were making gurgling/strange noises during that time that they were not receiving water pressure. I’m not a plumber, just have general knowledge, but that tells me that the heaters were boiling the small amount of water left in them. While that possibly may not have detrimental effects, it’s easy enough to shut off the heaters for a bit, just in case. It certainly won’t hurt, especially after we get back above freezing. Ended up scrolling back to look for your original post... again, drunk and have nothing better to do. Even if you’re wanting to shut off the main before the thaw hits, I’d definitely shut off the water heater when you shut off the main. With no water moving through pipes/faucets, it won’t benefit you to have heated water, so may as well shut it off and not risk overheating the water heater (as long as it’s insulated or in a warmed area).

Dfw surly-ites. While I would love to offer our spare bedroom, and would have no qualms in non-covid times, my wife is 8 months pregnant so we’re in hermit level social-distancing mode. That said, ANYTHING else one of y’all up here may need (propane bottles, wood, water, groceries, camp stove... you name it, we have it and are more than happy to help out any way we can. We’re in Grapevine, but I can run whatever y’all need over if y’all don’t have 4wd. Just pm me.

Ours has been running nonstop (haven’t lost power yet, thankfully), but still had a nice sheet of ice on top. Told my wife I’d break it up a bit later today. Went upstairs for my morning constitutional, and started hearing a constant banging sound from outside. Peaked out the window to see my pregnant bride whacking away at the ice with a pry bar. Haha. Ours still had pockets of water, so I don’t think it placed any strain on the tiles, but I’d imagine it’d help in your case, especially since it isn’t running. Couldn’t hurt, at the very least.

Looks like I’m not the only one here that needs to get my prostate checked

I was a mtb instructor in the Poconos one summer during college. Towards the end of the summer, the other instructors had sent out word that we were going to have a bbq for dinner that night. I was stoked, as I’d been up there all summer and was missing my Texas bbq. Showed up... hamburgers and hotdogs. Yankees fucking suck. All that said, Traeger (sp?) has made most weekend warriors believe they’re making bbq when they set a fucking box to a certain temp with electric or propane heat and a pellet smoker box. That shit isn’t bbq either. That’s wood chips in an outdoor oven. Fight me.

To be fair, he would be the closest to life-size in the whole game... provided you play it on a 48” or less tv.

These are all just terrible, these ideas edit: come to think of it... in a year or two and if things don’t go well, that may be a good nickname for the bunch. I don’t foresee that being the case, though

CTJ is Nolan??

Only took them 80 years and a seriously fucked up, covid-asterisked season to finally get it done.... put it on the wall

Intentional, or nah?

But did his QBs show some zip? I’ll see myself out

Sometimes it still hurts. You know how it is, man. It's like, you wake up every day and it hurts a little bit less, and then you wake up one day and it doesn't hurt at all. And the funny thing is, is that, this is kinda wierd, but it's like, it's like you almost miss that pain.

Does it though?? Why would we wait a full year to announce UM as the new coach from when we fire Herman and hold a press conference to introduce UM. We should really consider doing that around the same time as the other events.

That looks quite similar to, or may well be, a house in Southlake that I frequently drive past. It’s ridiculously stupid looking.... even among the other McMansions in the area.

Well, shit. Now you have me drunk pondering the moral dilemma of whether I’d rather be the dude who fucked and was then murdered, or got fucked and then had to murder someone for fucking me. Can I get an “option 3” where we just hang out, drinking beer and playing Call Of Duty? Because I feel like that’s what the last two guys on earth would actually do.

Meth’ll do that, I’d assume
