  1. This is that cell about an hour ago. Wasn't sure if that was a hook at first, but yeah, watching this on radar has been something else
  2. No, grain elevator fires are due to combustion/ explosion of the organic fine particulate. The pole fires are caused because the mist adheres to the dust (not heavy enough to wash the dust away) that accumulated and creates a grounding path.
  3. https://www.kvue.com/amp/article/news/crime/travis-county-deputy-charged-with-child-sexual-assault/269-1eac2d0f-9522-44cb-acf5-dc0890579567 No idea if same guy. Name, age seem to match
  4. Not sure what got me started on it, but I went on kick sophomore and junior year of school where I read through all of McMutry's books outside of the Lonesome Dove series, and then went through everything Cornac McCarthy had put out up to that point. All my Friends and The Crossing have come to mean more to me the older I get. I re read them both evey couple of years.
  5. I generally agree with the last 2/3 of your post. I've thought about the first part a bit before and think you may be overestimating the referenced pilots access to such knowledge. For example, I doubt few, if any, F-4 pilots would have been aware or have the acknowledge to identify the SR-71 had they crossed paths in the early 60s.
  6. A buddy sent me these of the AN 124 at Bergstrom the other day. Pretty neat Have a couple videos he sent but it's poor quality; will share if anyone is interested.
  7. This. WUnderground, my equity trading app, and a few others were borked this morning. Un- installing the system webview did the trick
  8. Took the kayak down to bastrop yesterday to try and do a little fishing. No luck finding fish so I decided to paddle around a bit, then came across the remnants of these two. Have heard lots of stories of bucks getting locked up; pretty neat to come across it in the wild.
  9. The news is a little off. You automatically go into boil water notice when certain conditions present, such as low system pressure. The 24 hr bac-t test is used as a confirmation test that it either is or isn't present, so minimum boil notice duration is 24 hours
  10. I've seen it mentioned a couple of times about popping off the meter manhole lid with a screwdriver. I've found that the charging handle of a caulking gun is the prefect tool for this job.
  11. Not really. If the water completely fills the pipe (no air) and begins to freeze, it tries to compress the unfrozen water. But since water is not compressible*, and if it's not allowed to vent, you'll see a pretty significant pressure build up. The freezing water is basically running an uncontrolled hydrostatic test on the piping. I had always assumed it was a hoop stress in the frozen section. Thanks to TwiceHorn for his post a couple nights ago; after thinking about it, his (and phd's) explanations are on the money. *practical truth, not universal
  12. Likely has something to do with the additional fuel that would be required to maintain a stable decent once back in upright position.
  13. Fonda. Just looked at the map and realized not quite as far north as I was remembering. Was there for a family reunion with my wife family.
  14. The days around July 4, 2017 in northwest Iowa were possibly the most prefect in terms of weather that I can remember experiencing
  15. Regarding JoJo, this is spot on (especially for dogs with shepherd in them). In my experience, obedience training won't get rid of this instinct; you have to get more into the attack/guard dog training, and this comes with some other trade offs. She just said enough of this shit and laid down the law to Henry; you are correct in your assessment that Henry's got to go.
  16. Just got back to 78729 from 78749. North side of town has definitely had it heavier than south of about 2222.
  17. Article said he's stable and lucid. Will likely need a bit of rehab, but it's amazing how far medical advances have come on this. Not the death sentence it once was if you can get to hospital fairly quickly
  18. Following a couple of deaths from the bug at our local lake growing up, we all got in the habit of plugging our nose before skiing/tubing and jumping off boat houses for that very reason
  19. Hmm, interesting. Not uncommon in surface water supply (stagnant water areas). That the city uses groundwater is a bit of a head scratcher. Could be an 'old water' issue from water in dead end mains, but I'd wager its a contaminated ground storage tank at the bwa/ city connection (top of the head, non informed assumption). Good news, easily rectified (pending they can quickly id the source).
  20. When's the last time you were able to go grab a few beers with your buddies? Be sure to make sure she's aware of that.
  21. The pause and site redirect when clicking the link originally posted made the picture all the more funnier.
  22. https://www.khou.com/mobile/article/news/crime/six-former-hpd-officers-indicted-for-17-felonies-after-investigation-into-narcotics-division/285-ff7b5af3-53dd-4fd6-910f-981874701765
  23. I believe that's correct , or at least the general location
  24. Lots of headscratchers for me here. The biggest one being that this was in Mabank. Edit: I watched the video before reading the flyer. That makes a bit more sense.
