    Doing the same.

    Live I thought it was risky too. I think I remember seeing the replay and he purposely threw it low. Looked like a good, smart throw but I had several beers in me. I’m wanting to watch the replay, but waiting until this weekend is over. Damn, this weekend was fun

    I don’t think so. FSU was his OU in ACC. Tulane, who cares. I believe his only 2 conference championships were with us. No idea what @closetohumpingis talking about.

    I have a surf boat with all the lights. When I run it’s just nav and anchor lights. When it’s a dark night with no moon any light can cause visibility issues. The deal with underwater lights is that as you hit wake your lights actually pop out of the water and the person behind you gets a full blast of those lights. On a calm lake it’s no big deal. On Travis it’s a major issue. Those underwater lights are constantly popping up blinding the person behind you. Underwater lights, tower lights and cabin lights is just a minor nuisance. What really bothers me are the boats running with their docking lights on. So many this weekend and they aren’t all renters.

    Man, I truly appreciate your response and @TwiceHorn. The feelings I have are minor, but just always there. Just can’t fully love anything. I’ve opened up to my wife recently. Especially about my difficulty falling asleep. Just random things from my past pop in my head. Even when I’m actively trying not to think. I try so hard to just relax and not think. Nightly, I get to a point where I’m about dead asleep then something from somewhere pops in my head and I’m wide awake for hours. Every night. I don’t know what it feels like to be well rested. I started a new job about a year ago. Things are going really well. Been busting my ass and getting a lot of accolades. But I’m tired and it takes so much effort. I guess I’m trying to bull myself through this like I’ve always done. We are building our dream home. I see so much excitement and energy in my wife and wish I could have that.

    Yeah, reading that it sounds like I’m on the edge. I’m not. I’ve lived with these feelings since I was a young man.. I rarely post here but there are several threads on here that are great. Just wanted to share how as we go thru life it can get hard. A lot of us share these feelings.

    I don’t even know how to write this. Don’t know why here. For as long as I can remember I’ve been fine with meeting my end. I’ve done a lot of stupid shit. Pushed things as far as they could go. Got in a lot of trouble. I found my dad dead at 32 years old. I was nine. Joined the marine corps and did a lot of fun stuff and pushed everything to the limit. Since then I have married the love of my life, had 4 kids.. 3 boys and a daughter who are better people than I’ll ever be, I’m very protective and have had to learn to let go. But they are getting older now. Youngest just graduated high school..I’ve battled for 20 years to keep it together. I’ve provided a great life to my family. I have everything you could ever want. I do love my life and would never take my own life(like my sister did). But why am I this way?

    Water spigots on all 4 corners. Won’t have to drag a hose around. And if your driveway is like in that pic do a sport court and go full court basketball. Probably tennis combo too.
  9. FizzleFish
    Yep. I mean our washer and dryer are always full of my wife’s clothes. This way I can just reach in, grab, and toss to her side of closet and load my shit up.

    Well, when I suggested the dog wash I was imagining almost a human shower with a basin and half walls in the corner of a utility with a wand. Not a sink. So we agree on general concept. It was just something I looked into with this house but didn’t put a lot of thought into because our dogs are all on the older side of life and we aren’t getting any more. So I didn’t design any of that into this house. also, I’d look into the smaller washer/dryer stackable you could do in master if it worked for you. I didn’t look into it too much but thought it could be a good idea.

    Good point about dog wash in garage. I didn’t think of that. With 6 garage bays he can put in an automated dog wash. water line for 2nd fridge if you want. Water and drain line for big ice maker if you need one (we added one because on weekends we were making trips to store just for ice. Can stock up on beer and food but not ice without a deep freeze). last house we had a switch on our pantry door that would turn the light on/off when the door was opened or closed. Very convenient and it never gets left on for days. Need to see if I can work this into the house we’re building now. Pantry is barn door and I blew it off that it couldn’t be done. But this thread got me thinking about how convenient that was.

    No outlets in kitchen backsplash. Look for hidden under cabinet outlet strips with usb. If you have a walk in pantry do a counter and outlets so all your small appliances can live in there. In master bath do an organized drawer with power for all your wife’s blow dryers, curling irons etc. get them off her counter top. if you have dogs add a dog wash and pull out dog food/water drawer in utility. deep drawers on lower kitchen cabinetry. Floating cabinets in bath with lighting underneath.

    Was really nice out. Took advantage of it and checked on the boat. All good.

    I’ve now seen this a few times. What is this? I mean I know thru the comments it’s for irrigation but what’s it called. I’ve had several homes with irrigation and never seen this. Building a home now and working in some stuff I learned this week.

    I bet. Twice over summer we are hanging out grilling and one cruised by and the rolling waves follow minutes later. I Look over at my buddies slip and I see the ass end of his boat at like 30 degrees. Second time same scenario but the bow was sitting way up. Both times it was welds that failed. Both are top of the line lifts. I don’t know how my buddies boat didn’t slide down the bunks and bury the bow under his deck. It was crazy. Second time was old news. In both cases we were able to rig them back to level. Took around 20 people. Majority to weigh the lift back to level. I think they’re coming from the reserve marina. At least according to my friend. He said the dude that sells them does the demos out of there. They’re responsible for the damage their wake causes but proving it is another thing. We have hundreds of surf boats surf by right off the marina and it’s a minor annoyance. Have you had anything break?

    Nice. I like that you went with wheels to match the paint color.

    @troph we are up in the same area of lake Travis. I’m north shore though in Lago vista at Waterford. Who else is up our way? I can’t keep track. The reason I’m asking is because we are having major issues with the 50’ yachts that have exploded in the last year. Their rollers are tearing our marina apart. I’m curious if y’all are seeing the same thing? It’s very common that someone has one of the bolts that attaches their lift to the marina is sheared off. I mean one time they rolled thru and the 37’ foot formula next to us destroyed his anchor light and tower when it hit the marina roof. After that bitch rolled thru the entire marina was soaked in water as all the boats rolled with it. I have so much more to say on this.

    yeah my son is in a student apartment in san marcos. Their power went out monday morning and stayed out until thursday around noon. then quickly off and been off since. When the power came back on it broke something. What? We don't know. Can't get any information. They're nice new apartments so the lowest temp indoors was around 46. I was going to go pick him up yesterday but he assured me he's fine and didn't want to chance it. He's tired of the dark (no candles) and cold food. I found an asian place that was open and they delivered he and his roommates dinner wednesday and yesterday. Hoping tonight is the tonight they fix the problem.

    When I see a cruiser yacht in a slip, I’m like that’s a phat ass. I’ve never looked at the specs but that brand appears to be a lot wider than others in the same length.

    panic lead to A run. There were lines to get in to groceries from what I could tell. So more demand on that one day than probably several days combined. Probably lack of stockers and products to refill the shelves.

    Now your rocking. Just sleep in a ventilated area. We would hate to lose you to your own gas after all this.

    My wife is great about this. She doesn’t touch it ever and asks me to adjust it if shes hot or cold. Most times I don’t even adjust it and say that I did. Time passes and she doesn’t bring it back up. I think she’s catching on though after a dozen years as she’s called me out on it. While this is going on I’ll adjust the temp via my phone app and then tell her to go check the thermostat. Now lights and open/cracked exterior doors, that’s a different story.
