  1. Ours is very basic. I didn’t want a big wall or water falls. I wanted the biggest pool I could fit with a lap lane. The long run nearest the house is a decent lap lane. The rest:
  2. True. I am in the Houston burbs. Our dig was one day. Took longer than necessary because of a tree stump.
  3. 16x40 pool w/ spa and sun deck and expanded patio / deck. $106k last September when we signed the contract.
  4. We are staying in Sonoma. We don’t mind going over to Napa Valley, but wanted to try other areas. Russian River, etc. Mainly just stuff on that side.
  5. Wife and I are heading to Sonoma next month. Can you guys provide some good spots do do tastings / check out? Also, food recs are welcome. We know Yountville and are looking to do more on the Sonoma side.
  6. And big TVs can bed had for cheap. I got a 58” for $275, delivered.
  7. Same. The outside TV and pool mean I’m outside most of the weekend. I have an umbrella right over the middle of the pool, so I can get shade and relax. We are really happy with our set up.
  8. I thought it was pretty brilliant when Duracell sponsored the car. it is some of the better marketing I’ve seen
  9. My current daily wear watch. It’s the middle size G-Shock.
  10. A lot of generalizations, but this is from the party platform: https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/creating-a-21st-century-immigration-system/
  11. Enjoyed the pool today with the wife. [emoji16]
  12. Great race from 2nd back. McLaren pick up 30 points today and slots themselves into 5th. Ferrari gonna Ferrari. Sainz “what’s plan B” ended up getting shafted with whatever plan B was. Nice to see Lewis back on the podium at the British GP.
  13. Albon is killing it. Nice to see him and Williams in Q3.
  14. He can still get second place tomorrow and keep his job.
  15. I got to tell him good luck in Canada and he acknowledged me and said “Thank you.” He did however miss my attempt at a fist bump. He loses a point, so 9/10 good dude / nice guy. He did take pics with some fans until his handler pulled him away.
  16. Congrats on the new ride!
  17. Again - you are looking at just points scored. That does not tell the whole story. George is not the better driver. Lewis had some shit luck with safety cars and pit timing. The Team ran different strategies for the cars.
  18. I have a very smart 12 year old… that is a fucking moron at times right now. I feel your pain. My new constant is being on him about wearing his rubber bands on his braces. He killed it the last couple of months. June - he’s a forgetful SOB.
  19. Cross Creek Ranch in Fulshear has a 55 and up section. West Park Tollway just got expanded to Fulshear. As long as she isn’t out and about in rush hour, it’s not bad.
  20. Hard tires only for Max. I’m enjoying this season. Beyond Max, there is a real tight fight happening up and down the paddock.
  21. I saw Albon in an interview saying that they told him on lap 20 he had a warning, so he was more careful on lap 21, another warning and then more careful on lap 22 and he had a penalty - even though he didn’t exceed track limits on lap 22. It was apparently from 15 laps earlier. He wants quicker notification of an issue.
  22. 83 laps deleted. Ocon with 30seconds of penalties. Dude just made his own track.
