  1. Damn, my argument with builder about concrete decking forms being a foot off from plan seems pretty minor. Other than several "the crew will be out Monday" turning into Wednesday or the next Monday, that was about my biggest issue which I just had the crew move the forms. Supposedly they charged him $700 for that 15mins of work but that sounded like a lie to me. The skimmer and a bench being off center are among the minor things we didn't have fixed. So glad to know we're done, and the water is perfectly balanced and clear (going trouble free pool method from the start) and ready for spring/summer. If the weather is right, planning a March Madness in the pool/spa long weekend to break it in.
  2. It was also kind of odd that the breakfast had no hog. That should make sense to you.
  3. Hopefully Shaka's mood isn't in part due to him knowing we're not where we need to be and will have a rough go tonight. Wife and I will be in the building same as all the other games we were allowed to. Fuck it...just got to hit some shots and will have a chance.
  4. It's also very easy for a team to say they have less than 6 due to contract tracing and nobody will say shit. Like maybe we should have played a 6 to 7 player Baylor team earlier this year.
  5. Username checks out
  6. I'm with @freyguy. I already have my own bins for yard stuff (fuck those paper bags). They try to sell this as a way to save on the trash bin by downsizing but then I have to go buy extra bins and bags for inside to collect it before putting in new green bin so it's probably a wash. I suppose we can tell who lives in the 'burbs in this thread and are just getting these...
  7. Yeah, but we weren't playing Saturday with 3 players so we just didn't have to announce that we were essentially paused as well. Whatever...ou still sucks.
  8. So the ISU and TCU games were because of us and not the other team or both? If we already caused two postponed games then yeah, I guess we should get back to playing as soon as capable. I've been thinking 2 teams bailed on us so we should have done the same to ou.
  9. Yep, there were several scenes I could tell justified having OLED HDR TV such as standing in front of a really bright window.
  10. The loss probably doesn't hurt our seeding in the long run but sure as fuck hurts our chances to win this fucking conference. Something we haven't done in a really long time.
  11. The 9.2 receiver will just have more speaker jacks on the back. You can just hook up your 5.1 and you tell the receiver at setup what you have connected. Your current receiver might even be a 7.1. Often the zone2 steals from the 7-9 speakers at least on budget ones. I not an expert or too particular. I had an Onkyo for years and now a basic Sony with 5.1. My LG LCD has enough HDMI that I only use the receiver as an audio amp. If you use video switching I would definitely get a 4K receiver but I assume all new ones are at this point.
  12. Should be in your contract. Mine was a "we try not to break anything underground but if we do, good luck with that" type of deal. I had a T-joint in my main water line to the house in front yard that developed a crack (noticed the ground was soggy even though it hadn't rained in a while). Luckily was just $200 to have somebody dig it all up and fix the joints.
  13. No fans currently. Likely need to get out of Austin 'stage 5' COVID before fans are brought back although they are announcing it on a game by game basis.
  14. I think this is the original... http://www.shaggytexas.com/board/showthread.php/113683-Is-HEB-open-today
  15. So, who's contemplating heating the spa to sit in while it snows?
  16. I have Google Fiber with TV so have the "network box" with built in wifi and had an old Netgear router as another access point upstairs. Shit's been getting more annoying about which one you're connected to and signal won't go outside to patio worth a shit. I chatted with Google in hopes of getting free Google Wifi system but they said I can only either have the network box or Wifi and since I have TV I can't have mesh Wifi. So since I had to purchase my own, I went with Eero because that conversation kind of pissed me off. Up and running like a champ now, every device connected to new network and wifi on the fiber box is disabled. Should have done this a couple of years ago!
  17. I'm guessing it's tied to Austin/Travis Stage 5 declaration. We were stage 3 and 4 for all of football season. Stage 5 went into affect right before Christmas and that's when they got rid of fans for a couple of women's games. This was just the first men's game since then. We've got a ways to go before we exit stage 5 as of now.
  18. Love the enthusiasm, but that 2008 team was the last team to play in the 2nd weekend of the tournament (as I'm sure you know). Until this team reaches that I'll just enjoy the ride from now until March. We did have a #1 ranked team in 2011? at this point in the season and it did not end well.
  19. Given that I think you know Chip, I sure hope you don't mean Live Oak.
