  1. These tools are so insufferable... If you look carefully, his trailer hitch cover is a longhorn with sawed-off horns dangling on the side. Dork.
  2. Was coming to post this So good...
  3. Meanwhile the rest of us
  4. In that same vein, the number of 100-degree days is expected to quadruple by 2036 compared to the 1970s and 1980s, with more 100-degree days expected in cities. The report found that extreme monthly summertime temperature trends imply an increase of about 2 degrees over the past 50 years. The coolest days of the summer are also expected to continue getting warmer. What do these trends indicate for future wildfire seasons? Nothing good. The report said overall, the area of the state commonly impacted by wildfires may expand eastward. At the same time, higher temperatures will likely allow very dry conditions to develop earlier in the year, extending both the spring and summer wildfire seasons. https://www.kvue.com/article/tech/science/climate-science/texas-hotter-wildfires-climatology-report/269-483d3038-e623-406b-b0e3-b322c0766d35
  5. Oh, you're one of those...
  6. If we can just get these storms to take a little chill pill and focus on dumping 2" at a time here and there, that would be great.
  7. Reminder, never live north of Travis County.
  8. Some doofus in Leander might get a couple of drops
  9. Lake Buchanan watershed killing it today. Meanwhile Lake Travis
  10. ...and people wonder why I haven't been to Florence in 20 years. But I digress... Bologna's next match is against Genoa. They've had their best year in a long long time but I think Juventus is going to pilfer their coach. I may have been born in Bologna but I root for Juve.
  11. Yup... if you head south towards San Vito Lo Capo, I would say https://bagliodonbartolo.com/ If you go to Trapani, I'll see if I can remember where we ate. Same with Marsala. You can never go wrong with porchetta
  12. One upside of my son thinking of a major that is not business or engineering. Then again, not a major that will lead to a high paying job. Eeesh.
  13. Agreed. Deep Eddy is essentially a cold pool which serves a purpose but BSP is special.
  14. No. I remember it being seamless. The power would come back on, you would hear the "clank", the generator would run for a couple of minutes and cool down and then all would be back to normal. We had it installed through Reliant back in 2018 so there's no telling what they charge now but they handled everything... all turnkey and the permitting process was a piece of cake since they had all the connections with the city and CenterPoint.
  15. Mine were about 50 feet from each other so we had to run a trench from the meter to the breaker. Didn't help with install costs but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. We had an automatic transfer switch installed as well. Power goes out... "clank!" count to 7 and power is back on.
  16. Thinking back to last year when it was 100-something or other and I was at BSP with the family... just hanging out, enjoying a midweek evening swim. Anyway, we're in line for the diving board and we start talking to these two Irish guys who were passing through the city. The couldn't stop talking about the pool and how much they loved it. Its really the best... can't visit Austin without going there on a hot summer day. Nothing like it.
  17. Houston... Dallas... do yourself a favor. Go buy tickets for Idles for tonight or tomorrow night. Amazing show! I'll see if I can post a video or two later but dude...
  18. I don't know what it is but in my head, Gin Blossoms and Soul Asylum are the same band. Maybe. Sometimes.
  19. We had a 14kw with a 2400 sq foot house in Houston. We could function like normal although I would usually conserve a bit so we didn't push it.
  20. Every time someone says, "We deserve what we get" Nah man, F that. We don't deserve what we get. That is fatalistic. We deserve better.
  21. Agree and that's not unique to that venue
  22. I know there's a cost difference but when we did whole home in Houston we went with Kohler over Generac. If you can swing Kohler, look there first. Talk to electricians and they will tell you they would pick Kohler for themselves. Everything I've always heard is Kohler costs more on the front end but it more reliable, easier to maintain, better service, etc. I loved our Kohler... loved it. Would go that way 1000% again.
  23. I have zero interest in knowing how much you make or anyone else.
  24. Keep it open for now
