  3. Came out great. The garage is full of boxes etc from moving, but i have these two photos I took a while back.
  4. Recently done through builder for under $4/SF. He used Xpedite Coatings (Houston).
  5. HBH sells frozen bones with lots of meat on them.
  6. Well, my facebook friends gave more, but less witty, answers. Enough of them said "my first gen echo works just fine," that I will roll with the new ones that have been stored for the last 5 years. If they have an issue, there is always prime day 2023....
  7. More Harvey Drama.... Five years ago, I bought two first generation Amazon Echos to be gifted to my kids for their September birthdays. Of course, Harvey came along and the unopened Amazon box ended up in storage instead. Fast forward to now, the Amazon box has come out of storage and 4th generation Echos are 40% off for Prime Day 2022. What to do? I assume the successive generations have made improvements. And, Mr. Google suggests that the first generation Echo may no longer be supported by Amazon and may have issues. An Amazon chat bot assured me all generations of Echos use the same firmware and they will work just fine. But, she also encouraged me to buy new ones, because, well, just because.... Anyone out there with a first generation Echo, or who has recently traded up from a first generation Echo, who can advise whether to keep and use the two we already have, or to take advantage of Prime Day and get two of the current model? Thanks.
  8. In 8/2017, we lost it all in Harvey. I have beat on my wife that the personal property insurance money we have been holding for this day is also for the kids' lost shit. And, with her sort of buy in, I then promised my son (about to turn 15) that his day would come. Well, we are here - moving from rental squalor back to our own home within the next few weeks. So, it is time to get my son a real gaming computer.... I will buy this, not build it myself. But, I am OK with a custom build and am not limiting myself to some preconfigured Dell, etc.. What are appropriate specs? I am not looking for minimum specs. I want him to be blown away by his upgrade, and for it to get him through high school without need for significant upgrades. But, I'm also not springing for the latest $1K + graphics card. Thanks.

    They do a nice job at a much better price during Houston Restaurant Week.
  10. I can't say I'm disappointed, because that would have required higher expectations.
  11. Just renewed at $5.99 ($7.77) for 12 months with no fuss at all.

    Had a terrific dinner last night at Amore. Chef/owner was at Da Marco for 20 years. $35 corkage.
  14. Day trip from Venice that you might pair with a winery - Ravenna.
  15. I love mayo, but would rather choke down a dry sandwich than consume the tiniest amount of the abomination that is falsely named miracle whip. But, if Quinn Ewers likes miracle whip, I will allow it.
  16. Our construction project has about 115 recessed light cans. The builder is about ready to buy and install LED retrofit trim kits. Our job specs call for Halo, with which we were very happy in the old house. The builder is pushing Nora, because it is what his supplier pushes. The specs are comparable, other than lumens - Halo is 940; Nora is 1100. Agreeing to Nora will save about $750. But, I've never heard of Nora, for which the few reviews I can find are pretty mixed. Does anyone have experience with Nora LED trim kits? If it matters, the specific models in question are Halo RL56099S1EWHR and Nora NOXTW-5632WW.
