  1. It would not surprise me at all if there was a Kids First (type) group at work in Humble ISD.   Back in August, there was a huge push to get back F2F.   They ended up with a slight suspension on that but then, almost out of the blue, the school board called a meeting on Tuesday after Labor Day (announced it on Friday but almost impossible to find any written announcement) with the goal to go back F2F full time for high school and middle school instead of an A/B schedule.   It passed, like 8-1.   

    And guess, what?   We're seeing cases almost daily at our high school now.   Nearly 100 in the district just since we went back F2F grades 6-12 (as of September 21.)

    I'm going to wait until the 19th. Texas Republicans have sued Abbott over extending early voting to the 13th. My concern is that they will determine some time after the extension period that any vote cast during the extension was void. I have the ability to wait until the 19th, so I'm removing all doubt that my vote will count.

    Good to know.   I was planning on going Day 2 or 3 of early voting.   Guess I'll wait until the 21st or 22nd.

    Did Eric just come out on Fox News? 

    Wouldn't that be something.

     

    As for Pancho's post with Alaska being a dead heat.  That place is amongst the most redneck, white trash places I have ever been.  It gives east Texas, Florida Man,  etc a run for it's money.  So for Biden to be virtually tied and Sullivan to be neck and neck, wow. 

    Small overall state population compared to Texas or Florida but it would be something to see Alaska flip.

    What used to seem like mathematical or theoretical possibilities in the past became realtoday. Down 15 , scoring 2 TDs, recovering an on-site kick and getting a two-point conversion only to win it in OT. What we witnessed tonight was nothing short of amazing. I am grateful for the the luck and the fight and the improbable win. \m/

    You do know we were favored by 19 points?

     

    Right?

     

    That means we win in regulation by 13-22 and not relying on a miraculous 15 point comeback.

     

    Right?

    My wife is an aggy (yeah I know) so I kinda hope TAMU does okay in this one to make up for the fact that she had to listen to me screaming, yelling, and crying from 2:30 to 7:00 today.

    You're going to be touching yourself a lot over the next few months.

  7. Can someone explain what's in it for Trump (and Republicans) to remove coverage for preexisting conditions?

    Is this a nod to the insurance companies?  I see numbers like 70mm Americans have one so why gutt it?

    As long as you cover your grill and keep it under shade your pellets will be fine. I'm down by you and haven't had problems, but then again my grill never sees direct sunlight.

    Can you define "never see direct sunlight"? 

  9. And now...  Pellets.  How long can they be stored and under what circumstances? 

    I'm in the Houston area and humidity sucks. 

    How much should I keep on hand and where?  It's not like I can have multiple 20 lb bags inside (in the house vs. In the garage) and I'm not even sure that would help all that much. 

    Assuming I'd like to cook every weekend, do I need to buy before hand or is there a way to store them outside in some kind "dry" container?

  10. Update:

    Next door neighbor and I were talking about this and he said "Try my internet connection"... Bam.  Full signal.   Ok.  Good news.  Then looked at my extender inside and swapped it with another one upstairs.  Full signal.  And the one I moved upstairs was at full strength.  Whatever.

    Drove over to a store selling Green Mountain, Traeger and Camp Chef pellet grils and spent a good while talking with the owner who knows a lot about them.  The Daniel Boone Prime WiFi was on sale for $699.  Pulled the trigger.  Need an insert top rack to increase overall cooking area if I want to cook for more people but I just increased my "normal" cook space by 50%.  Will try and put it together tomorrow afternoon, do a burner cook and then ribs on Saturday.

    Looking forward to it.

  11. Rip,

    That Traeger is a nice model that should overall do the trick.    It's a got a lot of space between the two racks (646 sq in lower and 240 upper.)   No WiFi like the Pro 575 or 780 but $50-$200 less than either with a lot of more space.

    If you want to cook this weekend, where do you plan on getting it from?   Unless you can pick it up local Amazon or BBQ Guys probably can't get it to you before next week.

    I'm leaning toward not going with WiFi now for two reasons:

    1.  Bang for the buck like Al said.  I like the idea of WiFi but I I also tend to be around the house when cooking so checking on it is no big deal versus using an app.  Maybe my inner cave man still likes to think that checking and doing a little tinkering is what makes cooking fun.

    2.  Wifi in my backyard sucks.   My router is in the front of the house and even with boosters (that I have tried) there isn't much of a difference.   The router is in the office and if I move it toward the back, it sucks in the office (where I work.)  

     

    Al, how does your Pit Boss do in cooler weather?  Are you in Texas or Iowa.   Id be curious how it does if you are in Iowa.
