  1. Brew is correct in that they don't use averages. They prefer to use median values to minimize the effects of the outliers which are usually to the low side (foreclosures, distressed houses, etc).
  2. My dealings with Travis CAD has pretty much been the exact opposite of your #2 in the first part. They strictly looked at numbers and had no common sense when it came to individual properties. In one protest that I was helping with, they were trying to tell me that this whole subdivision had 5,000 square foot one stories on 9-10,000 square foot lots and when I tried to point out that there was no way with impervious cover restrictions and setbacks, they told me just to go to the formal because they wouldn't discuss anything further with me.
  3. Was playing the big DeMarini tournament in San Antonio (probably around '99) and pretty far into tournament. My team had 2 former UT baseball players, a former Baylor player, a guy that played AAA ball (CSF with Augie), a guy that played for the Mets and a couple of former UT football players. I was pitching and caught a bad hop line drive off the pitching rubber in the mouth. People heard it a field over. Fractured jaw, but not the usual fracture. The jaw fractured at the front edge so my front bottom teeth were still in the bone but the bone was floating. Three oral surgeries (including an apicoectomy to stop an infection from spreading where some type of cow bone derivative was used) and three root canals (the dentist didn't use anesthesia, he said it wouldn't help) later, my teeth are almost as straight as they used to be. The worst part was when I went back to pitching, I didn't have the same reflexes. My first instinct was to protect myself and balls got by that I used to pick. Had to move to the outfield.
  4. Just have to work your way around the foundation to keep it somewhat uniform. Really sucks if you have to walk into the wind.
  5. My sprinkler system has a separate foundation zone tied to a moisture sensor. I think I have a minimum moisture content of 19%. Once it drop belows that, the sensor will allow the sprinkler system to water via the buried drip lines. I have two drip lines buried 2 feet out from the slab and then 1' and 2' down.
  6. Just out of curiosity, who is the service through? I am pretty much stuck with satellite or line of sight microwave (which I have) and $110 is about what I'm paying
  7. You really need to check on bandwidth limits. I think HughesNet has a 20 gig cap and you'll get to the easily if you watch Netflix or stream much content.
  8. Are you talking George Strait in Vegas? If so, I believe REK and Lyle are opening for him again. They put on about a 45-60 minute show swapping songs back and forth. Not as good as either in concert, but George puts on a hell of a show still. I saw him in December and February and they blew the sound board in December with a gun shot effect during Folsom Prison Blues
  9. Pulling for Hossler but it's hard to go against Poulter in match play Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk
  10. Also should watch out for the hidden little things like small fruit seeds and the like. It isn't the septic tank that is so much of an issue, it's more the little stuff that doesn't dissolve/break down can get into the drain field and plug up the lines there.
  11. No change in valuation. That's the advantage of living in the country I guess. Just waiting for the big one to come though. Office valuation up 33% and valuation on my dad's old house is up about 28%...really need to sell it
  12. I started feeling a little dizzy and nauseous but I've been afraid of heights since a wee lad. Do not even like glass elevators.
  13. In your case, probably not. No one is home during the weekday/school day, so we let the temp rise. It'll be cool again by the time anyone gets home, so you save the money by not having the AC/heat run when no one is home. The wireless part is nice in that you can be in bed or the media room and adjust things without having to stop whatever you are doing.
  14. I'm just north of Manor and my weather station is reporting 3.19" since midnight
  15. Have an aunt that has a condo at the Sandpiper. It looks like it might be June at the earliest before they'll be open. They are just now getting the roof repairs inspected and can start on redoing all of the interiors. All of their damage originated from the bay side as they got the "other side" of the storm.
  16. The only time I broke 80 was at Kizer. Late December, temperature about 38 degrees and the wind blowing about 10-15. Had to walk because it was too cold to ride and playing from the tips. Parred 18 with a long putt to shoot 78. Can barely sniff 90 now.
  17. No cool story, just a picture of my gate
  18. Just need it to hold together until it gets over my tank...maybe I can make it through the summer then
  19. I have two Honeywell thermostats that are wireless and have an android Honeywell app to control them from anywhere. Something like this
  20. I have the 9+ and I was coming from the S7 Edge. There is no comparison between the phones, the 9 is so much quicker and smoother. I have no issues with battery life (not a power user) and the camera is so much better. I also bought a cheap wireless charger on Amazon so it just sits on it while at work, even though it's not really needed. I'm on ATT if that matters to anyone.
  21. I wish it was only $400 when we bought it 3 years ago I still say it's worth every penny
