Tailgate

South Austin and just had about 20-minute power outage. Back on now. Went outside to potentially cut off pool to save equipment...but it came back on in the process...it’s nuts out there...and obviously likely going to happen again.

It’s cold as heck outside but is there a box outside with controls? That’s what I have to do when I have remote issues. At this point I’m just hoping for minimal damage here...trying not to imagine entire pool freezing...that’s my worry with any power outage. I already found one pipe frozen that lets water in when pool drops to a certain level...so as long as I can keep water moving through the pool without freezing...I will be happy that’s my only issue.

Nada. Serious trouble could be ahead...do not run your pool heater in freezing conditions. Visit troublefreepool.com and you will find many threads currently. I’m running my pumps 24/7 praying nothing freezes...even the water features. That’s what is recommended...just keep your water moving.

Just saw an email fly by. Yesterday was HEBs second highest sales day ever behind the pre covid mania.

Yeah...tonight’s the big test.

Built a few years ago...happy with all decisions especially going 4’ 6” depth all throughout the pool. I’m an old and kids are away in college...having parties with adults is great...ton of space to roam and the games of horse in the pool are nuts. Also, check on the smooth finish...think ours is called wet edge. Feels great on feet and when sitting in spa and ledges. I would have done one thing had I known with my spa. I would have put jets coming out of the seating area behind your legs...I just have them where they hit your back and it’s still great and you can put your legs up and sit sideways to get a leg “massage”...but would have totally added a few more for that. The thing I would have done with the pool is smaller spill features. We have two 3’ wide shear “waterfall” features that look awesome...but they are ~three feet high and when you are in the pool with just a couple people it’s a bit loud due to the height and speed of the water hitting the pool. But glad you can get one in...was very lucky to have this during the pandemic and lockdown mode...and when it is 100 plus degrees. Have fun with your build...and check out troublefreepool.com. When I had questions...serious pros would chime in. They will give you feedback from start to finish...posted pics on there during build for certain feedback. Also, if you’re in a really hot region and/or your pool will get direct sunlight for a lot of the day...check out Glacier Pool chillers. My neighbor did a ton of research so I grabbed one too...game changer in hot summer...and cost to run it is a fraction of the cost of standard chillers.

Yeah...it was but still damn good.

Jumped on the DGB train today. Any Crypto fans have thoughts on the “core” 3-5 holdings in this space? I have some BTC...so now just these two. Stock wise I’ve got MARA and RIOT but I do like holding the actual currency.

Started following CCIV and RBLX after a friend mentioned them. RBLX is an interesting one. Not trading yet but will be soon and apparently has a big following with kids gaming. I’ve downloaded the app and played a couple games. There is also a Stocktwits ticker thread on it.

Didn’t have time to look for another thread. My hero cooks a damn good steak. \m/

Yeah...I’ve been screwed every time I tried the play weed stocks...it has to be a long hold strategy IMO with just the best companies. I’ve almost given up...even SNDL today is a ping pong ball...and not in the right direction currently. Today I am sideways thanks to MARA and RIOT.

I saw a good article on why Apple should add crypto to it’s wallet. The user base would instantly be nuts.

Have a trip to California coming up in the next couple weeks. Was there right before the COVID storm hit last year and luckily brought back a good supply of flower, pens and edibles. Literally down to my last 1/8th of flower and pens are drained. Can’t wait to restock.

Where can I get a handler like this? The GOAT!

SNDL....damn....glad I held.

My mom finally got scheduled for one Thursday through APH this morning.

When he’s asked what Super Bowl ring is his favorite...he always says “the next one.”
