Mighty fine

Guy at the store told me '59. I'm going to look up the serial number here in a minute Edit: confirmed

Picked up a pre-64 model 70 in 264 win mag today. Merry Christmas to me

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

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.

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.

Ah, I figured it out

Under high pressure, goes BOOM

At first I was intrigued, but that accounts handle and lack of link suggests fake news

This one caught me off gaurd

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

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

I carry the 365 xmacro tacops with an enigma holster and am pleased with how easy it is to conceal.

Here I was assuming you were either a lawyer or an engineer. Now I know, you're the BD guy

50% is high. It's been awhile since I looked at the averages, but I think net evap is on the order of 30-40 in/yr. But you're correct, ASR has the potential to cut those losses dramatically. That said, one of the technical challenges to ASR is protecting your stored water bubble. If the groundwater gradients are too steep (relatively high lateral movement), this can cause a portion of the stored water to move beyond the capture radius of the well, and that water is essentially 'lost'. On the most recent asr Class V injection well authorization I worked on, losses do to groundwater movement came in around 25%.

For sure. And it can be a hard sale as it's not a new water supply but just firms up existing supplies.
