Parents of campers: I can provide non-airconditioned accommodations while your goblin-sized spawn can learn good Values through Hard Work in the Mines of Mills County. PM for details.

Avery got plugs or Hims hair pills? Looking good.

I respect your learned opinion. But I'm like Lincoln on this. McClellan, you're fired. Pope and Burnside, fired. Hooker? Fired. McClellan: Fired again. You either fight, or you sit down. I said I want plump and pretty women on the Little River. Not little women on the Pretty River. I want it all. Desal. Fanning county? More like Fan-flooded county. Big ass pipelines stealing water from Aggy and piping it to Sand Aggy. And then when they piss it out, I'm shipping the piss back to Waco. I'm going to pump so much water into Ogallala that the sand hills of Nebraska will flush down to Kanasas and make it interesting. Money? We got money. We don't spend it on education or health care, what the fuck is money for? Im gonna take Commanche County and make it a giant hole and fill it up. I like holes and fuck those sundown town racists. "Stop, Clever, stop! It's too much water!" Hell no. We filling this damn bathtub, and I dont care how many turds have to float to make it happen. Jacob's Well ain't just gonna run, its gonna be a fucking geyser. We will fill up DKR like the Coliseum, and Fozzy Whittaker is going to ski jump over Katy Perry's left shark. Twenty-five years ago I promised my drunken longhorn peers a lazy river to cirumnavigate campus, and now is the fucking time.

We need more projects like the (controversial) Austin injecting water into the cardoza aquifer. I predict there will be more of those in the coming decades. I want more. Take this surface water and pump it underground. Bring back to life springs. Liberalize cross water basin projects. Cloud seeding. Send more of that sweet Brazos water down from Palo Pinto to the Pecan Bayou. And then share Colorado water on down to Guadalupe, Frio, Medina, Neuces. Desalination with solar (who cares if it's interrupted power?) and pump it upstream. I want a verdant hill country, flowing creeks, people bitching their well levels are too high, caulking the wagon to ford the wide Pecos, plump and pretty women on the Little, houseboats on Amistad, canoeing through Boquillos canyon in November, catching minnows on the South San Gaberiel at the dinosaur tracks, jet skis on OC Fisher. Water abundance. Bring it. Drown me in it.

We can retire 2032-ish. State and teacher pensions. Year 1 would net about 110k gross (and that's 100% joint and survivor option, and 2% cola on ERS, a new option). We.can easily live on that and not touch pre and post tax retirement savings. On track for 7 figures. We would be about 52. Kids would be in college (529s funded well, at least for in state tuition). So earlyish retirement is possible... That had been my plan. But we could also retire and come back and work and save another $4 to $10k a month, and just stash it to pay for future grandkids daycare, college, etc. Feels kinds selfish to check out when peak earnings hits. I think I want to work 20-30 hours per week, and my wife's could permanent sub from Oct to April. Would be nice to hit national parks April/May and September/October. Maybe Colorado rental in thw summer. I guess we will just have to see how we are feeling when the time comes. My mom has dementia and is in memory care ($6300/mo) so I would like to make sure we could afford that (plus maybe assisted living for the other) for 1 of us should we need it. Don't want to be a burden.

All of TMs old camp culture articles are free too. I think it was the 1975 article that quoted a freshman woman at UT saying "I wint get into this sorority, I went to the wrong summer camp." that really clicked the camp to greek class/wealth connection for me. That one sentence explained it all.

The flood was 9 ft higher than the 1987 flood. I can see how a failure of imagination would mean not prepared for that level of insanity

not sure it was mentioned above, but 1431 at Cow Creek appears to be gone. https://x.com/vileTexan/status/1941558771156910483

Cow Creek is showing 14.32" since midnight. And it is still raining.

I had not seen hydromet show Cow Creek and Big Sandy Creek so high. I wonder what the records are.

I was in charge of 20 boy scouts mid June when a 80mph thunderstorm collapsed 3 tents. It was pretty bananas. But nothing like flood waters coming up. PK a release did mean kayak class was moved off the Brazos. Island camp was briefly... an island.

it all hangs from the top, like a reverse skyscraper. If I added another set, the next set would probably need to be anchored into the sides. I think I could hollow out niches and cement in some bolts if I had to. But my plan is to try and make it to 20 ft, and then try to concrete it up in lifts (removing sets as I rise up). Once I'm at 20, I might try and go deeper straight down, but more likely I'd start going horizontal. If I didn't concrete up, I would wedge in some supports from the bottom. I think I could source some 48x30 baker scaffolding, and that might work. https://www.idahogeology.org/pub/Bulletins/B-21.pdf

just a gnarly blister across my palm. I was being dramatic. The depth is still around 18 ft or so.

May and June have been moist. A couple of times I was up and pretty much did nothing but pull out buckets of water and mud. Finally scout camp is over, kodd sports are on hiatus, and weather drying out. Hope to come up weekly the next 6 weeks or so. Fan set up, new ryobi spotlight (old crap ebay bulb fell and broke): Blowing air. A mouse had died and turned into a puddle of mouse. I scraped it into a bucket with a piece of leftover 2x4. I assume that's sufficient decontamination and I won't die of hanta virus maybe. The layer I'm at is very f'ing hard. I'm committed to knocking this down level across the whole hole. But 3 more feet of this is daunting. I did the jackhammer without gloves, and degloved some of my hand. Annoying. Rubbed some mouse puddle remains in it for good luck. Big red jackhammer got stuck, so I had to get out the small red jackhammer. Annoying. But I noticed the little jackhammer chipped the rock better. I think I need to sharpen or replace the point of the big jackhammer. About to check Amazon on what a replacement costs. Got out about 4.5 buckets in 2 hours of labor. Not great. A good day is 16 buckets. A great day is 24-30. My mask keeps fogging up, too. Might look into prescription sports goggles.

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
CleverNickname replied to UTPhil2006's topic in Business and Markets
Anyone else hoping to downsize significantly in retirement? I have the ranch/hole, so I can still live my rural junkyard dreams. But a tidy 2/2 condo we can lock and leave sounds delightful. All I want is a washer/dryer, 2 parking spaces, and not hear the neighbors through the wall too much (well, prjmary on main to age in place). The kids can stay in a hotel or VRBO when they visit. Or if they have kids, we will stay in a hotel while they have the place. We can do yearly vacation rentals over the summers. I'll gladly given the kids the equity amd well enjoy the cheaper insurance, taxes, and upkeep.
