  1. reposting in this thread:
  2. this is how you interview:
  3. I'm up at the hole, so up 183 from Austin. No issues, cept maybe the rubbermeckijg at each swole river (South and Norrh forks of SG) and all them creeks. Mesquite creek near Lampasas county... damn!
  4. not sure it was mentioned above, but 1431 at Cow Creek appears to be gone. https://x.com/vileTexan/status/1941558771156910483
  5. Cow Creek is showing 14.32" since midnight. And it is still raining.
  6. I had not seen hydromet show Cow Creek and Big Sandy Creek so high. I wonder what the records are.
  7. I was in charge of 20 boy scouts mid June when a 80mph thunderstorm collapsed 3 tents. It was pretty bananas. But nothing like flood waters coming up. PK a release did mean kayak class was moved off the Brazos. Island camp was briefly... an island.

  9. small update. New bit v old bit: It did dig a little better. frame cover: Didnt dig much. Had to do some ranch tasks. Built a box for the tank cutoff and cleaned up cabin loft. Kids want to make it a backup sleeping area, and now.we have a bigger shed we can move junk out.
  10. it all hangs from the top, like a reverse skyscraper. If I added another set, the next set would probably need to be anchored into the sides. I think I could hollow out niches and cement in some bolts if I had to. But my plan is to try and make it to 20 ft, and then try to concrete it up in lifts (removing sets as I rise up). Once I'm at 20, I might try and go deeper straight down, but more likely I'd start going horizontal. If I didn't concrete up, I would wedge in some supports from the bottom. I think I could source some 48x30 baker scaffolding, and that might work. https://www.idahogeology.org/pub/Bulletins/B-21.pdf
  11. just a gnarly blister across my palm. I was being dramatic. The depth is still around 18 ft or so.
  12. May and June have been moist. A couple of times I was up and pretty much did nothing but pull out buckets of water and mud. Finally scout camp is over, kodd sports are on hiatus, and weather drying out. Hope to come up weekly the next 6 weeks or so. Fan set up, new ryobi spotlight (old crap ebay bulb fell and broke): Blowing air. A mouse had died and turned into a puddle of mouse. I scraped it into a bucket with a piece of leftover 2x4. I assume that's sufficient decontamination and I won't die of hanta virus maybe. The layer I'm at is very f'ing hard. I'm committed to knocking this down level across the whole hole. But 3 more feet of this is daunting. I did the jackhammer without gloves, and degloved some of my hand. Annoying. Rubbed some mouse puddle remains in it for good luck. Big red jackhammer got stuck, so I had to get out the small red jackhammer. Annoying. But I noticed the little jackhammer chipped the rock better. I think I need to sharpen or replace the point of the big jackhammer. About to check Amazon on what a replacement costs. Got out about 4.5 buckets in 2 hours of labor. Not great. A good day is 16 buckets. A great day is 24-30. My mask keeps fogging up, too. Might look into prescription sports goggles.
  13. is this the best twitter day since the 2015 DeAndre Jordan saga?
