  1. https://hydromet.lcra.org/
  2. The Edwards and outcrops of the Trinity should see some appreciable recovery from this event. Down dip sections of the Trinity not so much.
  3. Guy at the store told me '59. I'm going to look up the serial number here in a minute Edit: confirmed
  4. Picked up a pre-64 model 70 in 264 win mag today. Merry Christmas to me
  5. My brother picked this up as a 6th birthday gift for my son. It's Birmingham Small Arms falling block .357, made in Australia. Don't know very much about it yet, but a pretty neat little gun
  6. Just a data point not wholly related to the topic, but a person can easily get sucked into a relatively small diameter gravity main. In 2020, there was a guy in Austin working in a manhole that was flowing and sucked him into a 18" line where he went for a ride until his body was recovered a few miles downstream at the plant.
  7. Between Wharton and Bay City. During the initial filling, a good bit of seepage discharge was observed on downstream side of the reservoir. A bentonite cut off wall was installed at beginning of construction, but there ended up being some sand pockets that weren't effectively cutoff which lead to the seepage issues. I know they're installing some relief wells to mitigate the seepage issue. I don't recall if they also ended up driving sheetpile on the interior of the ring dike.
  8. Under high pressure, goes BOOM
  9. At first I was intrigued, but that accounts handle and lack of link suggests fake news
  10. This one caught me off gaurd
  11. They'll have access to sufficient water once the Alliance Regional Water Authority finishes out construction of their Phase 1B, though the next phase will probably be coming up sooner than originally planned
  12. There's enough empty volume in Buchanan such that they don't have* to make releases. *subject to LCRAs management plan for the highland lake system
  13. I carry the 365 xmacro tacops with an enigma holster and am pleased with how easy it is to conceal.
  14. Here I was assuming you were either a lawyer or an engineer. Now I know, you're the BD guy
