  1. I was told that it related to the heat generated under the floorboard and it would make it hard to keep your feet positioned correctly. I guess lack of insulation or something, but that was from an old man teaching drivers Ed in the early 80s.
  2. Khudobin looked pretty good in goal tonight for the Texas Stars. Gave up a few rebounds but only gave up a power play goal. I figured they would concentrate on developing Murray, but I guess khudobin is one injury away from returning to Dallas.
  3. Stupid medical staff couldn't park the cart to be easy to get on it. They parked 15 yards away and facing the wrong direction but it is OU so would you expect anything less
  4. Hopefully things get better after that performance last night. Not that many new faces and looked slow and disorganized.
  5. Okay, looking for pointers. "Won" 2 tickets to Monday's practice round and airfare in a charity silent auction last night. I know we need to get on the hotel really quickly, so that'll be today most likely. Is there a shuttle system that runs around or do you just walk from the hotel? Not sure that we'll play any golf while out there, but other tips are appreciated.
  6. I hate this bullshit. Might have told this story, but I got roped into a lawsuit because the plaintiffs were about to be summarily dismissed. They needed to bring new people in to keep the lawsuit going and I got the call. Our E&O refused to cover because intentional fraud was alleged. Had about $18K out of pocket before the first deposition. At the deposition, the plaintiff actually admitted that I had done nothing wrong and handled the whole situation both professionally and ethically. They dropped me from the suit that day. My attorney wrote to the insurance company and threatened them with action if they didn't cover the costs since it should have been defended from the beginning. He got an extra couple of grand from that letter when the insurance company agreed that they should have been there from the beginning. In short, fuck bullshit lawsuits.
  7. Khudobin had been assigned to the Texas Stars but not sure how much he'll play. I would imagine they are going to try to develop either Murray or Scheel.
  8. Just be careful of utility easements (if putting on slab, not an issue if on runners), city codes and HOA restrictions and pre-approval. None of those usually matter if the structure isn't visible over the fence, sounds like you are going bigger this time .
  9. From my experience, we are already at stage 6. Have knowledge of 3 land deals in Elgin (well over 600 lots) that have been terminated in the last couple of months and at least 4 others (several of those involved corporate owned rental property subdivisions) in Pflugerville. I was involved in several of them and the developers/builders are headed for the hills right now. Personally, I'm thinking it will be 2024 before things start to improve but that is just a gut feeling, can't really explain it.
  10. Sorry for repeated posting, but when you say corral, are you talking about keeping horses? Very seldomly will horses be allowed as an ag exemption qualifying animal. They are considered a hobby.
  11. No clue what happened with that edit, but I added "tax" to the property shortfall so that it'll make more sense.
  12. I'm assuming that agra approved means ag exemption? If so, you really aren't going to find one that small. It was common for it to require at least 10 acres but with property shortfalls, appraisal districts are trying to get rid of "gentlemen farms" and the required acreage is trending up. The other issue is that they won't guarantee that an ag exemption will carryover from seller to buyer without reviewing things.
  13. Hericane is right up there with Typhoon Mary
  14. Yes, but by taking in "Putin Puppets," you open your own country to the bullshit that they'll bring with them. Look at the graffiti and issues in Spain and other European countries that the Russian sympathizers are already causing. You open the floodgates to severe division within your own borders through person to person disinformation instead of social media. If I thought there was a chance of quick de-programming, maybe I could see it, but I don't think that'll happen.
  15. He thinks it means that the foreign freedom fighters sentenced to death have been released. You have to read down through the replies.

    Getting old sucks

    My knees are the same way when I don't drink enough water though. Of course, they are also the first things to hurt when I get some sort of infection.
  17. Dallas Stars are going to be having 3 training camp days in Cedar Park. 3 sessions on the 22nd and 23rd and then a scrimmage on the 24th. I believe the tickets are free but have to be claimed online.
  18. I'll take them if they are still available
  19. You should be able to specify in the listing agreement that you will not allow dual agency and make that a prerequisite for listing the house. You could allow an intermediary which is the form that the same office representation takes in Texas. Essentially, the broker/designated broker is the intermediary and then you have your agent and the buyer has theirs. The agents should not disclose anything to each other anything that is not required.

    Starlink

    Well, the dream is over. I'm canceling Starlink. Went out on Tuesday at 5pm with clear weather and no electrical issues (that's a whole 'nother story and fight with Oncor). Haven't been able to get it back up at all. Starlink had sent a replacement router and it worked perfectly for 2 weeks, and then poof. Verizon home 5G is not available just east of Pflugerville, so I guess I'm going back to Rise Broadband. The thing that really sucks about Starlink is no technical support. It takes them over 24 hours to contact you by the app or online account, so no real time assistance. Here's the kicker. It took me three tries to get a ticket submitted online (had to hotspot my phone to my laptop because I couldn't do anything via the browser on my phone) because you can't submit anything through the app if your system is down.
