  1. on mom’s side or dad’s side? I know the mom’s side.
  2. you and I have very different neighbors
  3. Smart shanked Sark at the SEC super sessions.
  4. personally, I blame it on poor eye sight. It’s dainty. also, what are we looking for it?
  5. You can usually find a wrench that fits. You just can’t torque it as tight.
  6. Not if the pilot is Maverick.
  7. Eventually the Europeans will be able to produce in the numbers Ukraine needs, but it will take years. And since 2022, those numbers have not increased much.
  8. A better question related to @atomheartbevo's post is how many Ukrainian pilots have we trained at this point? Did the training stop when we stopped supplying weapons or did it continue?
  9. I don't think the US has been prepared for the trench warfare type stuff that Russia and Ukraine are embroiled in. We have a lot of sophisticated stuff in storage, but I bet our basic artillery shells are pretty limited and may not fit eastern european weapons. As for advanced stuff, we only have 410 HIMARS but production is ramping up. I think we gave Ukraine 20. Another 20 HIMARS would be great but the ATACMS cost $1.5 mil so we will never be able to give Ukraine what it needs.
  10. I didn't know it wasn't open any more. Is it going to be in the Galleria area again? I love me some moussaka - Plus, I am friends with their cousins of the same last name (who unfortunately are all aggy).
  11. I miss the baklava at Antone’s. Are there any stores left in Houston? Once they changed the bread, things went downhill. And who was the last great Greek player in college football?
  12. Are we going to be better this year than last year?
  13. We did go all in on Crowell and still lost out.
  14. They look to be in great condition. I'm sure they will work flawlessly. But, I'm sure they will make a nice fireworks show when their storage site is hit.
  15. Shark Chases Teen to Land After Mauling Him Off Popular Beach July 12, 2025 by David Jones A 16-year-old boy was severely injured in a shark attack off the coast of Cabarita Beach in Bogangar, New South Wales, Australia. The incident occurred on a Sunday afternoon, just before 4 p.m., and was captured on video, showing the nearly 7-foot shark racing towards the shore behind the teenager. The shark inflicted severe injuries on the right side of the boy’s body, including his leg, hand, and arm. As the shark continued to lurk nearby, bystanders rushed to the boy’s aid. The video footage shows the shark’s fin visible in the water, adding to the chilling scene. In a heroic act, a good Samaritan punched the shark, keeping it at bay while others carried the injured teen to safety. Using a surfboard as a makeshift stretcher, they managed to transport the boy away from the dangerous situation. An off-duty paramedic from Queensland was among the bystanders and quickly applied a tourniquet to the boy’s wounds to stop the bleeding. The boy’s condition at the time was not clear, but he had received immediate medical attention even before the lifeguards arrived at the scene. Stephen Pearce, CEO of NSW Surf Lifesaving, spoke to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation about the incident. He was unsure if the boy was with friends at the time of the attack, but noted that a tourniquet had already been applied to the injured limbs by the time their lifeguards reached him. Following the initial treatment, paramedics arrived and airlifted the teenager to Gold Coast University Hospital. He was reported to be in serious but stable condition.
  16. I don't own one yet but I wonder if it is better to save a ton of money with the Thor icemaker and when it breaks, it isn't quite the money pit. https://www.burkett.com/blog/post/how-to-know-when-to-replace-your-ice-machine Ice machines are a staple in every commercial kitchen. A good ice machine is the difference between foggy cubes and a crisp, refreshing drink. Sadly, with every piece of equipment comes a lifespan. With proper cleaning, a quality ice machine will last around 4 to 5 years on average, sometimes even longer. So how do you know when it’s time to replace your ice machine? The first thing you need to do is locate the problem. When your ice machine is on the fritz, there are two main reasons: either your ice machine has been overworked, or the filter has. A filter is less expensive and easier to replace, so let's start there! The Filter Manitowoc AR-10000 14,000 Gallon Arctic Pure Water Filter You want your customers to have the purest ice, right? The first step toward pure ice is a good filter. Ice filtration systems are simply water filters in your machine that filter the water before freezing. Your unit may require between one to three filters, depending on the size of your ice machine. Routine Replacement These filters should be replaced every 6 months to reduce wear and tear on the machine, ensuring your unit is working as intended. The act of replacing your filter is so important that Ice-O-Matic even offers an extended warranty for doing so! If you purchase a 3-in-1 water filter with a new Ice-O-Matic machine and replace the filter every 6 months, the warranty on the evaporator is extended from 5 years to 7 years! Learn more about water filters and why they're important to your ice machine with this blog post. Know the Signs Without routine filter replacements, you may run into issues more unappetizing than a worn down machine. Does your ice have a bad taste or odor? Is it cloudy or off-color? Knowing the signs your filter needs a little TLC will help you catch any problems and take preventative steps in the future. Mineral Deposits: Municipal water companies only remove contaminants that are harmful to human health. Many dissolved minerals are not harmful, therefore are not removed. Mineral laden water results in ice that appears cloudy and can make a drink smell and taste unappealing. Slime Build-Up: Slime build-up can result from a poorly maintained ice machine. Ice made from a slimy machine will appear cloudy with a slight yellow, green or red tint and can cause illness, especially in those with weakened immune systems. Chlorination: Chlorination is the process of adding chlorine to water in order to treat it and kill harmful germs. Residual chlorine remains in the water supply giving the water an unappealing taste. Mineral deposits from hard water don't only collect in your filter and cause mineral laden water, this build up of scale is harmful to your ice machine as a whole. This brings us to our next stop in your ice machine journey! The Machine Scotsman Meridian HID312A-1 Countertop Ice Maker & Dispenser We already mentioned that the average lifespan for a commercial ice machine is around 4-5 years. However, your ice machine works hard day and night and sometimes it gets a little worn out. We can definitely relate. There are multiple reasons your machine may not be quite as efficient anymore. Heat. The enemy of ice. If your kitchen is consistently hot, it's very likely your ice production has dropped. When the ambient temperature heats up, so does your water, forcing your ice machine to work even harder to produce your ice supply. Dirty Condensers. A dirty condenser coil is one of the main reason for service calls. A condenser coil that is dirty, slimy, or grimy will prevent warm air from filtering out of your machine. What did we say heat was again? Scale. Build up of mineral deposits, or scale, is a big cause of ice machine failure. Make sure to clean the machine consistently, as well as replacing your filter every 6 months. All of these obstacles can wear down your ice machine and cause that average lifespan to start declining. A good rule of thumb is if you've noticed an uptick in your service calls, it's probably time for a new ice machine. What next? Is it time to replace your ice machine? If so, the next step is picking out the right machine for your business! There are endless options between brands, air or water cooled, ice shape, machine size, and so much more. Let us help you find the perfect fit!
