  1. I feel asleep and the power went out for a couple of hours. I figured the pool equipment was a solid block of ice so I didn't mess with it. Power came on and the pumps are running. Have 3/4" to 1" ice on the pool except for where the sun deck bubbler is
  2. Update. Looks like we're rolling the dice here. Not on damage, but how much. Not sure how thick it is, but I would guess not that thick... YET
  3. No worries from me. I already learned this by being a little bitch and calling my cousin yesterday. He's the installer of the systems.
  4. Mine had been cycling like that for over a day. It freaked me out at first. Worst comes to worst, you probably have the option to switch to emergency heat which will bypass the outside unit in favor of heat strips that the inside blowers will move the air over. Very inefficient and power consuming but should work to minimize the temp drop
  5. Are you a heat pump? If so, it's the unit trying to defrost. It will run the "AC" for about 10 to 15 minutes to heat the outside unit up and melt the frost from the fins and the unit. Hopefully, it will allow the heat to work again
  6. Pflugerville area
  7. Yeah. I'm thinking this is not good. The pump is running full speed. Not exactly sure what can be done at this point
  8. Now what the fuck do you do? Pump running full speed. Do you try to keep it broken or just let the top freeze over?
  9. You can order the incandescent green cord light on Amazon for either next day or second day delivery...or, at least you could a couple of days ago.
  10. You missed Pflugerville ISD (about 25,500 students) which is the second biggest district in Travis County and, at least anecdotally, one of the highest percentage of infected. Cousin's kids getting exposed and quarantined several times each already. Don't know how or if that would affect your numbers
  11. Just make sure to use the fucking rebate as it expires fairly quickly. Ask me how you find out when you misplace the card for a couple of months.
  12. She was dating Ray Benson for a while. Sat a couple of seats over from them backstage at The Last of the Legends tour with Ray Price, Willie and Merle
  13. Has anyone watched The Last Narc on Amazon Prime? I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but holy shit, they have what seem like some fairly heavy hitters backing up the possible CIA involvement in the torture/assassination of Kiki Camerena. One would think that they wouldn't attach their names to something like this without a very firm belief. It's only a four part documentary that runs less than four hours. They have interviews with the people that were supposedly involved with the kidnapping and torture. And I guess I should have searched more...already in the Prime recommendations.
  14. Just asking a theoretical question because I see both sides, but is taking the tax hit such a bad idea at this point? There are rumors, strictly rumors at this point, that higher capital gains rates are being considered (the 20% rate is lower than the more "traditional" rates of 25-25%). Also rumors of much decreased estate exemptions (possibly as low as $3.5 million down from roughly $11.5 million) and the repeal of the step-up basis (which would really hurt the long-term benefit of 1031 exchanges). Now getting those passed might prove impossible, but you never know. One thing that can be stated with reasonable certainty is that tax rates will go up in the future. I know lots of people that have 1031'd millions of dollars of land that are now considering selling and taking the tax hit to avoid issues (possible) for future generations.

  16. Ameros and gold bullion with Louie Anderson
  17. We might be officially off the rails when it comes to market balance. Put an offer in on a house for clients this weekend. It went on the market on Friday morning and by Sunday afternoon had 78 offers. People are offering 20% over asking and waiving the appraisal termination. There is absolutely no supply on the market. For example, after this weekend, the Pflugerville MLS area that had around 260-280 houses for sale usually, has a total of 9. Unless you have a mountain of cash, you aren't touching a house for the near future that I can see.
  18. You dramatically increase your chance of the blue screen of death

  20. I love looking at y'alls pictures and wish I knew enough to justify a nice camera. As it is, I took this picture during the snow storm with my phone. I'd love to get it blown up but the quality just isn't there. PS...I also have no clue how to upload pictures, so if the size is too big and the site doesn't adjust let me know how to fix it.
  21. It could be a matter of numbers. I bet Dove Springs had maybe 150-200 people in line when we got there. This was right before they opened so it's a lot easier to check things than at Delco. My mom had a 1:30 appointment but we didn't really have anything going on, so I told her we'd get there early and see what happened. Got in line at 11:15 and she walked out of the waiting room door at 12:25. The line was getting shorter as the day went on. By the time we left, there weren't more than 50 people in line.
  22. Just checked with mom because I dropped her off then waited parked on the street. They did come by and check to see if you had paperwork while you were standing in line. She's not sure how closely they read it, but they making some attempt to make sure that you had an appointment.
  23. Yes. You had to show the paperwork to get into parking lot.
  24. One of the other sites for Austin is Dove Springs recreation center. It is smaller and very efficiently run. My mom just got through it in 1 hour including the 15 minute allergy wait.
  25. All you can eat Taco Bell. If they are taking me out, I'm taking as many of them with me as I can.
