If Surly had a yearbook, you’d win “Most likely to stare at an eclipse without protective glasses.” -
2024 Solar Eclipse - never too early to get ready
Eastwood replied to Wally Fairway's topic in Daily Texan
The clouds parted for us for about 10 seconds, which was just long enough to see the diamond ring. There was a layer of wispy cirrus, so I didn’t get to see any solar flares (if those were visible to the naked eye). Those 10 seconds sent a chill down my spine, I’m not going to lie. My day was extraordinarily busy up to that 30 minute window I blocked off and after, but I was traveling for work that evening and somewhere around 10 pm on my drive, I finally process what I saw and it hit me like a ton of bricks. Seeing a natural wonder so cosmic and rare has had a profound effect on me. Having experienced both the 2017 eclipse and this one, I will 100% vouch for the sentiment that the difference between totality and the fringe of totality is so, so vast. That additional 0.9% you get in totality is absolutely insane. -

Hole in the clouds broke just around the sun during totality. Talk about luck. Glad I made the time for it. -

Clouds came back with a vengeance for me south of Austin. T minus 1.5 hours to main event. Bummer. -

Extremely bright where I am with a good bit of cloud cover, but some blue is starting to break through. Seems like the sun might be burning away some of the cover. -

All Encompassing Mortgage and Real Estate Thread
Eastwood replied to UTPhil2006's topic in 6th Street Journal
I have extensive experience in this industry and lump me into the camp that thinks this is the right move. The industry brought this on itself, a handful of the realtors I've ever worked with were worth the 6%, and even though it sucks for the hard workers, this industry will be a lot better after an adjustment period. It's time for the industry to become a meritocracy where good work really stands out, not a volume business where any Dick and Jane can get a license just to have access to the MLS and force escrow officers to do 90% of the legwork with the seller or just have access to the lockbox to let buyers in. The good ones who actually do this as a career and not a side gig need to hang in there. Once the dead weight is gone, there will be a lot more listings to go around. -

So many factors that play in there. What is their current net revenue interest (NRI) for the working interest owners in the existing production? If new leasing is going to take place, what royalty will the Lessors get in the new lease? If it’s 25%, will the operator be okay with a sub 75% NRI if they convey out an ORRI? And if it were me talking, not legal advice or anything, I’d push for ORRI over WI where possible. WI can be a headache from getting billed and having to elect into proposed operations, liability, etc. ORRI is free of those headaches, mostly.

I hope he can make to the stage in comfort, but if that isn't possible, a peaceful and painless transition to the end. Hook'em, Steve.
