  1. i have the quad DE and i do a cleaning in spring and fall. it's super easy. i've never done the backwash
  2. i'm an idiot for not reading it correctly. never mind me
  3. i also have the utah plan for my 2 girls and have been pretty happy with it.
  4. we ended up buying in San Antonio, the Jeep Wrangler Chrysler San Antonio one. just look up inventory, call them up for best pricing, and choose the one that gives you the best price.
  5. 6 and 9. Thinking of heading out Sunday for a few hours, not the entire 3 days
  6. Just got hooked up with some tickets. Never been. Tips/ suggestions? Thinking of taking my two kids - assume it’s no problem? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. this whole "we want open borders" is so fucking dumb. Again, speaking as a formerly undocumented immigrant, and having conversations with my group, no one supports this shit. contrary to what most of the racists would have you believe, the vast majority of Mexicans would rather live in Mexico than to have to move to an entire new country where they don't understand the language, don't have their food, leave their families behind, etc. The vast majority of my extended family still lives in Mexico and would never even consider moving to the US, much less illegally. My family did not immigrate because they were refugees or fleeing from natural disasters or war. It was an economic situation and the hope for a better life (like the mast majority of Europeans who immigrated to this country). A good first step would be to create a temporary worker's program. You're given a SS number and pay into FICA, SS, and Medicare, and can work a maximum of 6 months in the country. You're allowed to travel back and forth to visit your family in Mexico / Central America whatever. You must stay out of legal trouble or your pass is revoked. Said worker contributes to our economy, paying taxes, and sends money back to his family. THen lives the other 6 months in his own country. After 10 years, you qualify for citizenship along with your immediate family. For those undocumented folks that have been here 10+ years, put them on a path to citizenship. Ensure they've paid taxes (my parents did so even though they were undocumented), you pay a fine, and get on a path to citizenship. But no, the GOP and racists would never go for anything so sensible, because it's racism that's driving these policies at its core.
  8. like others said, you're missing the point, probably willfully. you're the type of Karen that LOVES to complain about all the illegal immigration, but have no problem using them for cheap labor (the very fucking reason they're here in the first place... if there were no jobs, they wouldn't come). Just like Trump, railing against the illegals all while employing them at his own resorts. and the doctors and lawyers and white collar professionals will come... speaking from experience as a formerly undocumented immigrant who graduated UT and does very well for himself. Most of my friends are like this, first generation Mexican-Americans who have graduated UT and doing great things.
  9. typical asshole who complains and bitches about immigrants, but has no issue hiring them because they will do the job better and cheaper. quit being a hypocrite and hire only americans and pay them much more, with a check
  10. no idea... they seem useless and a waste of space
  11. well that explains why i see those fuckers on my deck and pool but my yard is untouched as i have zoysia.
  12. oh shit i hadn't connected the dots. Yes, congrats @Patricio Swayze!
  13. the commute coming out of buda will eat him up alive, but he will be able to find something decent in the $450K range. he won't be able to get jack shit anywhere in south austin for $450K. he can always look in round rock or pflugerville off 130. the commute isn't that bad on the tolls, and he should be able to find something ok for that price range
  14. @cactusflinthead i have a bunch of those caterpillars. so far they're not attacking my lawn, but what do i need to spray/lay down to kill them?
  15. that's the advice I got from troublefreepools and that's what I went with. don't get your panties in a wad
  16. I'm saying I didn't want to put my pump through the work of draining an entire pool and risk anything going wrong. Spend $50 to rent a submersible pump from home depot instead, and it drains at a much faster pace than using the waste function on the filter/pump
  17. i did this in the spring and it was easy. go to home depot and rent a submersible pump and do it this way. you don't want to use your expensive ass pool pump to backwash all that water.
  18. Sanborns has the best goddamned pan dulce in the world. The conchas are to die for. they also sell Cuban cigars which is nice Dude born in Monterrey checking in... will add more later
  19. seconded. amazing knife. also use it to slice bread
  20. More like later today but yeah Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. damn i love portland. went there in 2017. need to get back there soon
  22. that quote is fucking ridiculous. 1000 sq ft is nothing - wife and i did 7 pallets of zoysia on my yard (3500 sq ft). what i did: lay down pre-emergent and water it in. put lawn mower on lowest setting and mowed it all after the pre-emergent set in (gave it a few days) go back with the weed eater and took it all down to the bare dirt. Fill in with top soil as needed to make it even order pallets of zoysia from grass outlet (they'll deliver it). I think it's about $230 or so per pallet of zoysia. one pallet covers 450 sq ft or so, so you'll need at least 2. lay it down, add fertilizer, and water the hell out of it for 2 weeks. just saved you $6500. P.S. Nice truck - have that same exact one.
  23. says the Trumptard begging for money to pay off $2500 in loans. don't be poor bro
