  1. Yup, out on Lake Nac. What have you seen over there? We have some friends that live off of Appleby Sand that have been without power the whole time since Monday.
  2. Welp, our power went out for good around noon after the freezing rain coated everything in a nice layer of fuck you. I just shut off our water at the street, figured with no heat inside the house I was bound to have pipe issues. I’ve got all the faucets opened up to bleed pressure and hoping for the best. Deep East Texas Co-op sent out a note saying the line damage is worse than after Katrina and Rita blew through and it might take 3 weeks before they can get to all of the repairs...
  3. We’ve been lucky so far here in Nac with the power more up then down. The fucking freezing rain this morning has changed that. The power started flickering and going off for a few seconds before going full off around 10 am this morning. I’m sure a tree is down over a line so it’s likely going to be a few days before the trucks can get out and fix it. The weight of the ice is causing big limbs to fall all over the place. I’ve got a couple of 100+ year old pines in my yard that I’m hoping don’t take major damage. My one hose bib that I couldn’t thaw yesterday with a heat gun freed itself with the increased temp today. I was walking past it and noticed water streaming out from my reinforced cover. My heart sunk while I started tearing through the layers of shit I had put back over it after my last attempt to thaw. Luckily it was just my dumb ass not closing the valve all the way and not a burst pipe in the wall! A small bit of good news, I’ll take it.
  4. I sold almost 50% of my FPVD at .076 this morning for ~400% profit. I’ll diamond hands the rest of it. Had an order fill for more TSNP at $1.05 this morning too. Really hoping that one gets its shit together soon. I don’t mind holding it long term but I’m pretty lopsided with too much of it in my STONk account.
  5. Lake Nacogdoches checking in here. We are on Deep East Texas Electric Co-Op and they've been doing rolling brownouts pretty regularly. The first few times we were out for 15-20 minutes, then 30 minutes each and then this morning we were out for almost 90 minutes before coming back up. But it has always come back and has been more up than down, so I applaud them for their efforts - whatever the hell they are doing. I've been dripping/streaming every faucet in the house and haven't had any inside issues so far. On the west side of our house I have two hose bibs that are frozen up and one of them that is on the other side of the unheated garage wouldn't free up after 15 minutes of a heat gun right on it. I re-wrapped it and am hoping for the best when it thaws out. I think all of my hose bibs are connected to 3/8ths copper lines so maybe they have a little more "give" in them than PVC? It's really sunny and about 24 here right now and I'm thankful for the sun! The snow is light and fluffy and has made for much better sledding for the kids than the last snowpocalypse.
  6. A decent Reddit post on FPVD. It contains a lot of the same information that RC has already provided in this thread, but I do like the links to articles written by the FPVD CEO.
  7. I've been trying to add to my position as well, but I was greedy with my bid and now I'll end up paying more. But if it is what you say it is, then I love it.
  8. It's nice to see TSNP rally this afternoon. Looks like it bounced off of $1.25 again today.
  9. My funds became fully available this morning on Schwab, so it took a full 3 business days. Watching this morning to get into XMET and PFMS. Not being able to trade these on Vanguard last week has cost me some $$$.
  10. How's the Toto treating you?
  11. New stock posted by SuperDuper a bit ago. It shot up and was briefly halted after the tweet. I took a nibble and might get some more if it pulls back after this initial burst.
  12. That all sounds correct to me. I'd only use USDC in this scenario because I wouldn't want that much exposure to crypto swings in what would basically be a savings account. That slice of the crypto space seems like the wild west to me, but that could just be my fear of the unknown. Are there any regulations on reserves they would be required to hold to cover both sides of the obligations you mention? 8.5% just seems too good to be true.
  13. I bought a few shares of VDE - Vanguard Energy ETF as a way to go long on energy. I agree with the Dr. in that we are still on the front end of this bull run for energy prices. The dearth of E&P capex and demand normalizing are coming home to roost.
  14. TSNP bounced off of 1.25 yesterday, bounced off of 1.26 today. I added to my AMYZF position at 1.11, and am still waiting on Schwab to fully recognize my funds from Friday so I can get into PFMS.
  15. This is intriguing to me too, but what are the downside risks? I don't see how you can make 8.6% without taking on some decent risk - it's not FDIC insured, so there's a chance BlockFi defaults on their loans and you get left with $0? What else?
  16. Same. Having Cano Petroleum as a former client may have permanently tainted my view of waterfloods. I always thought they really needed $75/bbl+ prices to really work, but that's probably an outdated notion as well.
  17. Welp, trade executed - another 5,000 shares at $1.25.
  18. Well, you can thank me for the buying opportunity I guess.
  19. Nice to see TSNP shake off these big dips so far today. I put in a buy at 1.25 this morning, but it doesn't look like it will pull back that far.
  20. Vanguard won't let me put in a buy order for SNVP:
  21. Same here. I got in at $3.99, so it's only up a measly ~65% atm.... Took for f'n ever too, since I got in all the waaaaay back last Thursday.
  22. You're right. Thanks, I just needed someone to grab me and shake me a bit.
  23. If I could pos rep this twice I would, f'n love this.
  24. I originally had a limit order to sell ~40% of my TSNP at $.80 to be fully playing with house money in the stock going forward. I canceled it yesterday when the stock started going bonkers. Undisciplined af, and hope I don't regret it. If it pulls back significantly after touching $1 I think I'll add to my position instead.
