  1. Technically piss AND "forever chemicals."
  2. I mean, I'd press charges too. But OP seemed to be looking at all sides and I thought someone should point how preposterous awful TYC has becomes since Prof Dawson died. The leg don't give a shit, and what was once at least trying to reform kids has basically become a Russian gulag.
  3. I clerked with Travis Fo Juv Public Defender... and I have nothing truly substantive to add. I guess if anything, don't discount how utterly awful TYC conditions are. They are overwhelmed, under resourced, and a stain on our souls as Texans. There is a non-zero chance she would be raped by prison guards and unable to have an abortion. It has happened before, and will happen again.
  4. 👀 https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/28/americas/brazil-indigenous-man-in-the-hole-death-intl-hnk/index.html I salute you, mysterious indigenous hole digging guy.
  5. Is this where I ask if wing T and slot T offense popularity affects CFB recruiting?
  6. Update. I'm at like $250 or $300 in materials. Will it turn out okay? I dunno. Am I doing it? Yes I am.
  7. That's what I was thinking. But h2o already in the main channel only has Lake Livingston?
  8. I know I could track this down... but it seems like there could be another big reservoir on the Trinity besides Lake Livingston. Bottle all that Dallas flood water and see about doing something useful with it. (I know it Graves is rolling in his grave, but that's a lot of water that isn't very productive. And Yes I know the Trinity is not the Brazos).
  9. Texas CARES study follow up this week. Still haven't had the 'rona (despite wife a teacher and kids in school). Moderna booster was early December 2021 and still have antibodies >2500. I expect to catch a case in the next couple of months - maybe I can get a second booster before that.
  10. Fwiw I started experimenting with strut for a rack. This is just one 10' cut in half with a hacksaw, and some camper clamps hiding it down. GMC canyon SB (Pictured next to hole)
  11. I did some math and realized if I did that whole area it would he like 20 80lb bags. So I made the bond beam a little smaller. It's 7.5" around, so good for an 8x8. Eight bags. Mixing concrete by hand really sucks. My hope is that if we get a lot of rain, it should be buttoned up pretty well.
  12. Yeah, I think I can get a cheap metal rack for like $180, but they seem pretty meh.
  13. Anyone here built a ladder rack or overlanding set up out of unistrut/superstrut? I am thinking about making something for my canyon. Nothing fancy, but maybe something to help carry 10' lumber and kayaks and such. Also: I'm cheap.
  14. Truly the canon of hole related music is deep and vast. We shall never find the bottom, but shall endeavor to keep digging.
  15. It's been a minute since I was up at the ranch. I started on concrete forms. I'll do a real basic ready mix pour. I figure it will help keep rain from washing inside, and will be a nice weight spreading surface for when I put in sets. I am the world's crappiest carpenter. Nothing is entirely level yet. Nothing is exactly square. Everything is a fucking rhombus! I fucking hate rhombuses! At this point I think I'll tinker a bit more, stake it, and when I pour I will attempt to keep level the places where the header will rest. The other portions I will try to shape to keep water out of the depths.
  16. For sun: Men's Columbia PFG Burnt Orange Texas Longhorns Terminal Tackle Omni-Shade UPF 50 Long Sleeve Hooded Top
  17. It was a very Austin disaster. Longtime vendor lost contract. Which, fine. So they took the train and the track, arguing it was theirs. It was, and evidently this surprised people. New vendor is in and after a long train free period (but covid ridden world, so not the worst timing) I think it's started or nearly so.
  18. If I had more money, I'd build one of those ride-on 7.5" gauge trains at my property. Puttering along, beer in my hand. Bliss.
  19. Fwiw: how much did we enjoy our vacation? So much that we have booked (refundable, but still) a week on the beach near Newport (Otter Rock) next summer. And my ex-SIL and her kids (my kiddos cousins) are going to stay next door. The only place we have ever returned to is Leakey/Frio (which barely counts as travel in my book). Usually we are hitting national parks or destination tourist cities (NYC, DC, etc).
