  1. Following up on the previous post above…. Cody Pools called me today. They are paying for core sample testing on every pool they built with concrete from that specific subcontractor. They built around 200 pools with that company’s concrete and are core testing all of those pools, including mine at $8000 per test. So far they’ve tested 20 pools in that group and all 20 have been found to have ASR. All 20 are being demolished and rebuilt. That particular concrete business has now gone bankrupt and their insurance company has stopped paying for those core samples and pool rebuilds. Cody Pools’ insurance company has now taken over paying for it all, probably while fighting with the concrete company’s insurance. The core sampling is moving slow and they probably won’t get to mine until late this year, unless cracks develop before then. Cody assures me the insurance money is there to rebuild every one of those 200 pools that are likely affected. But I’m worried about policy limits running out before they get to mine. Hopefully they can subrogate some of that from the concrete company’s insurance to decrease the chances of that. Good times ahead. Guess I’ll hold off on building the covered patio next to the pool. Gonna start a list of all the things I’ll do different on the second one.
  2. I got an email from Cody Pools today saying that mine was built with concrete from the subcontractor that built all these ASR affected pools. Mine was built two years ago and I don’t have any evidence of cracking in the shell yet but it’s also covered up and I haven’t been in it since the Fall. I’m going to give it a good visual inspection when the water warms up. Cody didn’t offer up any testing or anything. But reaching out to let me know about it was at least a good gesture. I can’t imagine this will go smoothly though if mine starts cracking.
  3. Not only did you click it, you posted it here for a few thousand other people to click it. Don’t give these wannabe self-proclaimed journalists a voice. The coverage of sports and social media in general would be better off if 3/4 of these dickheads had to go get a real job.
  4. I didn’t say he looked better or worse than Maalik last year. Just presenting a data point that says spring games are not all that indicative of performance in real games. No pressure, no threat of being hit hard or tackled at all, free to take risks since the mistakes come with no consequences, etc… He looked amazing today and I loved every minute of it that I saw. Doesn’t really mean shit though. We are in good hands when his time comes.
  5. Arch looked great today. Of course Maalik Murphy wrecked shop in the same game last year.
  6. Sounds like Mom had a Bad Attitude.
  7. I wish y’all would post movie/show names and character descriptions with this shit. Bunch of random faces..
  8. Why is it so expensive to check for this with core samples? And at what point after a build would you consider yourself safe from it if no cracks have developed? Seems like most of the problems have been seen in the first few years.
  9. Maybe that’s what happened to the guy out in the park.
  10. The only footage I saw was from kind of far away, but it looked like he burned for a while. The first comment I saw… “Break out the marshmallows!” Lol
  11. Over-priced for sure, but not bad tasting. At least TD has some ingredients you might find in Mexico. And Circle C milfs are my jam.
  12. Biden could say that his uncle was the Star Fleet Commander in the Space Force during World War II and wrote the song, She Drives Me Crazy while getting a blowjob from Emily Blunt when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor and it would still be better than calling the fallen veterans suckers and losers.
  13. I watched. He never said his uncle got eaten by cannibals.
  14. Quoting what someone ALMOST said… that’s an interesting take.
  15. Torchys is garbage. Their queso is good but so is the queso at plenty of other places. Everything else on the menu is just cheap dogshit ingredients on cardboard tortillas I’ve only had Velvet Taco a couple times and it isn’t great. It’ll do in a pinch, like when every other restaurant in Hobby Airport is under renovation or between ownership. I guess their gimmick is to put non-taco foods into taco form. Meh. The Indian food one is ok. The brisket one isn’t.
  16. The water can get a little muddy on that since Fed Ex carrys the majority of the US Mail in the air, soon to be UPS though as they were awarded the most recent contract.
  17. Maybe for some jobs but not his. Don’t do this. It’s not the employer, it’s the FAA. Xanax is an automatic disqualifier for your FAA medical certificate. We can’t even take prescribed ADD meds. You’d either have to lie to your next medical application, which opens up another can of worms with that script out there, or go through a lengthy process of proving to the FAA that it was just that one time because you get anxious in metal tubes, which isn’t going to go over well or be quickly resolved. i’ve got nothing to help you through that MRI though, maybe some melatonin? I get a little claustrophobic sometimes and I cannot sleep in a sleeping bag zipped up no matter how cold it is, but for some reason the MRI machine hasn’t bothered me.
  18. Well it’s not OJs house.
  19. That’s a lot of brown.
  20. There’s at least one, possibly two, surly posters, dealing with this in the pool thread.
  21. Half your buddies are going to pull a hammy in the 40. I’d give up on the bench and maximize your efforts into the other two. A long term stretching routine is key here. You should also be laying the groundwork on some sort of sabotage plan. If your friends are like mine, cheating is not only encouraged but expected. Laxatives in their food would be a good start. Nobody’s gonna put forth a full effort on the bench when they’re on the verge of shitting their pants.
