  1. Okay, question for those in the know...or just have an opinion. I bought three cans recently (.22 and 9mm for fun and plinking) and an Omega 300 for the bigger bore. Currently, I only have .223/5.56 rifles, but would like to add something a little stouter, yet stealthy. Would probably do more subsonic than anything. Which would you do, .300BO or .308? Mostly hogs and, maybe, a 'yote or three.

    Nothing on the wolf yet. Suppose it's some type of symbolism of the wolfs at the door.
  3. I think you are okay watching...kind of an ethical question. However, I have heard that it is highly illegal to be listening in since neither party to the conversation has given permission (I believe that Texas is a one party permission state).
  4. But in a way, it really doesn't matter, does it? Once you are Covid+, the hospital has to treat you the same as someone who is worse off in the sense that they have to tie up the special wards and use the PPE on you. Or I could be completely full of Covid free shit
  5. I have the Orbi and have had very little issue with it. Of course, my 14.8 Mbps down and 1.17Mbps up probably don't tax it very much. Yeah, and that speed costs about $150/month east of Derkaville
  6. The rain has been so hit and, mostly, miss this year. I saw late last week that Camp Mabry is at 19.40" for the year and ABIA is at 20.96" I'm a little east of Pflugerville any my weather station is 13.60" for the year. The tank is dropping already.
  7. The touch are a nice concept but they suck after a while. Sometimes you have to touch it multiple times and then it'll turn off randomly. I think we have a Grohe.
  8. But isn't/wasn't there a big issue with fraudulent cashier's checks that led to the mass proliferation of wiring for closing. I seem to recall that (could be erroneous) banks were even placing holds of up to 5-7 days for cashier's checks to clear before they would release the funds and that made them fairly useless for closings that have about 3 days lead times with amounts.
  9. We are not having a pillbug invasion, but it seems the entire millipede population of northeast Travis County has marched on our house. The exterminator only cares if they are dying not preventing entrance...which might be impossible.
  10. I have the heater/chiller and I think it's a Pentair, but not sure. It really won't do much for heating the pool (we do have a fairly large pool at about 20 X 40), but it does keep it from getting bath water warm. I think I have mine set for 89 during the summer and it makes a huge difference compared to my sister's pool. My pool has no shade at all and it's able to keep the temp down. It really helps to run a split schedule if you can to where you are running the chiller at night when it can make the most use of the temperature differential between the ambient air and water temp.
  11. On a septic system so don't want to put water there. Just dump it on the yard. Live in Central Texas, so it's humidity central right now
  12. When I built my house, we had it foam insulated. We were having a hard time getting the humidity down due to the efficiency of the house and lack of AC runtime. My AC guy suggested that we turn down the speed on the AC to force it to run longer to reach the desired temp. That helped, but to supplement I bought a dehumidifier. It's just a smallish portable unit that'll fill up at 8 quarts. Some days it'll fill up 3 to 4 times depending on how diligent I am at emptying. Sent from my SM-G988U1 using Tapatalk
  13. But don't you think that a lot of the corona fear is the effect on the future earnings and that it is being baked into the cake...at least somewhat. All of the guidance that I have seen is downplaying expectations so it's not like the bad news will be a surprise
  14. Generally, new construction is taxed on percentage completion as of January 1st, based on whatever the basis the county assigns to the completion
  15. Kiviranta sent back to the Texas Stars this morning
  16. Also, the ag exemption does not require cattle to be on the property year round. That makes it a little easier on a rancher to not have to worry about supplementing a smaller place. He can rotate them on/off.

    Saw them about 10-12 years ago at the Mountain Winery in Los Gatos. It was a helluva show. They threw in some covers that you wouldn't expect. I would've liked to see them again, but haven't been out that way.
  18. Robertson back to the Texas Stars
  19. Assuming in Texas, you'll also have to check the box on the seller's disclosure that you received money from an insurance claim and didn't complete the repairs. While not that big of a deal, it can cause some buyer's to get extra cautious and pass or get overly nitpicky
  20. I'll beat the rush and suggest the Stihl Farm Boss
  21. Did y'all not have something set up in the divorce agreement where each spouse gets to claim a child (children)?
  22. One other thing while I'm thinking about it. You should always file a protest to get the evidence packet from the county. I can count three different people last year that were being evaluated significantly over what the county's own sales comparison data showed. All three people had to go in for the formal process, but they did get their valuation lowered to match the sales comparison number. In one case, they had the sales comp value at $235,000 (which was right in line with the sales comps that I showed them), but the county was going to assess at a little over $284,000. A five minute formal protest got it lowered to $235,000 but the owner still had to take off of work. The county knows that a certain percentage will never look at the data and they are going to rake them over the coals for as long as they can.
  23. Unfortunately, this is not a given. I know of one person last year that the county decided that they paid too little and had to be a sweetheart deal (it wasn't), and they didn't give them the purchase price. I believe that they then went in for the formal protest and got close to their price eventually. Dick move by the county.
  24. The answer to this actually depends on the value vs what you paid. If you paid less than last year's tax appraisal, I would send it in along with a copy of the ALTA (main closing document). There is a very good chance that you won't have to go through the protest process and you will get the valuation equal to what you paid. However, if you paid more than the assessed value, I would follow NMAS's advice.
  25. Don't know of a right of recission in Texas, so most likely (not a lawyer), your earnest money is gone. The survey money might get refunded if you the survey hasn't been done. Assuming you are in Texas, of course.
