  1. Mcconnell has no problems today.
  2. Clearly this will help to continue to drive economic growth for years to come.
  3. Sp500 futures only down 20 points. Clearly no big deal if Americans pay 5 to 25% more for our limes and avocados.
  4. I don’t get the appeal of Kemah.
  5. If it would fit....Galveston would be cool. My son and I slept on the ship overnight as part of a Cub Scout event last fall. It was a good event. Many of the parents who had been to the Lexington commented that the experience on the Texas was far superior. My son loved the overnight event.
  6. Except for Some potential on May 30th, I guess the rain is over for the summer in Austin.
  7. It’s interesting that with S&P down another 75 points today, VIX is still only at 21. I would have expected a higher VIX.
  8. I think I am in love with El Niño.
  9. 78757 is full of sunshine. Bust on the rain. Try again tonight/tomorrow.
  10. Any ideas on where in Austin I could find a general 15-15-15 or 13-13-13 granular fertilizer for fruit trees? I am not seeing anything at Lowe’s/Home Depot on their websites. Tractor supply seems to have some but nothing is showing in stock on their website for the Cedar Park store.
  11. Markets seem to completely ignore what Trump says AND does. This bull market is going to have to see sustained downturn before it gets scared. And as long as Fed doesn’t resume the path of raising interest rates....the party lives on.
  12. Anything going to make it to the Governor for signature outside of this marijuana? Discussion. Change in property taxes? The education bill ?
  13. What is actually likely to pass both Houses and be signed by the Governor?
  14. Bring on the rain overlords. All the way through July. No complaining here.
  15. Guessing a type of oxalis like oxalis triangularis or oxalis regnellii.
  16. Wanted to put down an application of lawn fertilizer this past weekend. All the stores around me were sold out of milorganite. So I went with a liquid application of Hasta Gro Lawn by Medina. Never used it before. I am interested to see how it goes.
  17. Yep this. The girl shouldn’t care about the ring.
  18. That looks like a shitload of work for just a party barn.
  19. I generally flit southwest. I flew AA today on a 2 leg trip for the first time in at least 5 years. Both legs were delayed. Yippee.
  20. Out of curiosity, how is the state paying for this? Will this money he paid directly to the school district by the state? Is it a 1 time annual payment or is it spread out ?
  21. In following up to my above post, my yard is completely overrun with crabgrass. It’s weird seeing as it’s only February and I put down preemergent in October. I have a St Augustin lawn with large mature pecan trees. I have decided to avoid anything with atrazine as a post emergent herbicide. I am looking at buying Tenacity (Mesotrione) which appears to be one of the few post emergent to control crabgrass in St Augustin. Anyone have experience with Tenacity?
  22. All right. Let’s see the terms of this negotiated deal. Let’s see both sides of Congress pass the legislation. And then let’s watch Trump sign it.
  23. If Congress came to a compromise and passed it and then Trump vetoed, sure Trump would own the next shutdown. Congress could fund every department except DHS and then continue to negotiate on DHS. But if they just do nothing, that isn’t a winning position. Hell, just pass another CR to avoid the shutdown.
