  1. We are sorta out near Spaulding, only east of Junction. https://www.socomuffler.com/ These guys fixed it and after about 1hr of total work pulling and installing the radiator, I am back in business.
  2. Location, amenities and price. I dont want to dox myself but imagine a place that is perfect for chad bros to go and not spend $500+ a night but get those amenities. Every single outdoor amenity you would want in a party house is in the backyard. A new group just showed up today. Already getting turnt up. The next two months will be fun. I checked and all but 5 days were booked.
  3. Not sure that matters in the 5 mile etj. The party is rocking to tonight and I ran into the renters at the corner store getting beer and other stuff. I went to get some tortilla chips for some nachos the kids wanted. Guess who grabbed the last two bags right before I walked in? You cannot write this fucking script.
  4. Essentially perfect reviews. She is U G L Y. Hard pass. I had my legal question pretty much answered and will figure out how to deal with the people going forward. It sounds like the folks are having an even larger party already today. They decided to park some cars in my front yard, mostly in the ROW but my wife subscribes to that idiot from TOS school of thought. She chased them off. It was a pretty bold move of them considering there is no curb and they parked fully in the grass front yard.
  5. Sounds like a rental is in your near future. I found a shop that still repairs them. I was surprised as shit. The dude said he will have it fixed by tomorrow. May not end up too bad.
  6. I had a suggestion from a friend to play the song they play at Disneyland on loop all night. Evidently that song will drive them crazy. Yes and yes. The issue is who is going to enforce the noise? Basically it comes down to me going over there when it gets out of hand and asking them to quiet it down. By then you usually have 5-10 drunk dudes and their dumbass birds crowing about how they arent being loud or whatever other justification they create and it turns into a shitshow. I would rather not be in a position where I have to try to quiet them every couple of days.
  7. Sounds like I will have a new vrbo that is conveniently priced slightly lower than them with more amenities. My wife wants to play the purge alarm every night they bother us. I could deal with the sound outside and not go enjoy my back patio on the majority of summer nights they are blaring whatever shit music they blare, but it has got to the point the kids are kept up at night since their bedroom is the closest to the chaos. We replaced the windows in our house with double pane windows thinking that would help, but basically we need to install thicker walls I think. The kids frequently come in scared at the noises they hear late at night. I go to 11 and go over and lose my shit, rinse repeat. Guess it is time to move.
  8. Again this isn't a renter in that sense, this is a vrbo type deal. They are gone by the time I get to court..
  9. So say we have a HOA right now and a majority votes to revise the deed restrictions to prevent short term rentals, I was told that isn't enforceable....
  10. For reference this is way out in the etj and not downtown where I would expect the kinds of crowds. If it were, I would accept it and rent myself. That may be what we do anyways, just thought I could get some feedback before we uproot and move to the country.
  11. Maybe a better question is, can you get a deed restriction enforced that prevents this action or does that violate some precedent in Texas law? I am one of many people dealing with this shit in the hood and would have support to add the restriction but someone said it was unenforceable. I am not sure if they truly knew or maybe they just stayed in a holiday inn Express. I told my wife the only things we can do are move/rent our house or go to 11 and mount the most epic soundsystem that only blares baby shark pointed directly at the offender.
  12. We have a home next door that has been a short term rental for the last few years and we have had next to every issue possible with these renters. We are on a run of 4 straight weeks of 2-3 days then a new group of crazy assholes that come in stronger than before. It is Texas and I assume the answer is deal with it, but wondered if there was something I could do to shut this shit down. I routinely greet the new people and tell them about the noise ordinance and to understand they are in a neighborhood that is quiet so please try to respect that. Mostly they are respectful but immediately turn it up and go apeshit. It is a Monday night and I assume I have a week of shit ahead. I think the answer is to move or to rent ours out to these asshats and move. I cant believe it can fly to devalue our property and peace because someone else decides to allow this shit. The owner/neighbor has been wholly worthless and refuses to do anything to quiet it, the cops dont do shit (I called them for the first time in my life because there was gunplay going on by minors and they did nothing). I am at a loss of what to do.
  13. I was clearing out a sendero for a feeder and knocking down cedar trees when I noticed the smell of burning anti-freeze. I evidently had a stick come through the front end of the tractor and punch a hole right through the radiator. I was trying to be very careful to lift all the low branches up and fold the tree over so this didn't happen. I did a shit job clearly. So I had to bring the tractor back home to take to the dealership. They informed me it would be over a month before they could get to it so I ordered a new one to install myself that may or may not be here in 2 weeks. This happened at the prefect time as well since I am expecting delivery of a new cabin in 2 weeks and I still need to finish padding out the area I am dropping it. If it ain't one thing it is another.
  14. This is a complete csb, but I had a badass picture on a game cam from one of the RANCH water troughs. It was a giant coachwhip. The water trough is 6' long and the snake was laying on the rim almost the entire length with another foot in the water drinking/chilling. It was by far the biggest coachwhip I have seen. There are several I have seen but shit this thing was awesome. I assumed nobody would delete the pictures after I told them to save them and let them go through the rest of the pictures. Alas, I have a wife and we have a stupid shit wives do thread for a reason.
  15. No that is all our wives. I got home today and picked up the 5 cans of diet drpepper she finished 1/2 of and just gave up on. I have 2 boys and a wife that I cannot keep up with cleaning. Buncha assholes
  16. This is my house as well. I have maybe one soda a month, but it never fails that I go to get one and there are none in the fridge with 2 cases sitting on the ground next to the fridge.
  17. Well they markup the part as well. And I would bet, based on videos, it will take me over 4 hrs. I am a very handy guy and do 99% of my own work on anything I can possibly do just to say I did it. I dont think 1k is an unreasonable amount of money to pay a shop for that work. For me it isn't about the money, it is about the experience. I like doing shit like this if I can. I just finished tearing down my ranch mule to clean the intake, adjust the valves, replace the drive belt, etc. The thing went from running like shit to better than factory and it was fun.
  18. How can you take videos off private facebook groups? I have to get one downloaded somehow and share it with the world.
  19. Yeah I read that doing both makes it bulletproof but I might just start with the stabilizer. I am 99% sure I can install it myself so it looks like it will be $500 or less.
  20. How much did that BDS setup run you? I want to get them installed. Also read somewhere that adjusting the caster would help prevent the wobble and premature wear on the suspension.
  21. This is poetic. Stupid fucker clearly has more money than sense and the gods proved it.
  22. I wont ruin anything but there is a section I got to in this game and played it something like 20 times before realizing the best way to handle it is a full on mad dash through everything. There was next to no way to map out the movements of the NPC's and they seemed to have dogs everywhere I went. You cant hide from those fuckers. I killed so many guys and dogs only to have even more show up. It was clear I needed to ignore the loot and just run Forrest run. And as far as the reviews, I give it a 9/10. One of the top games I have ever see/played.
  23. Good luck on that. It is the tensioners from what I read and is a wild goose chase that will cost more than it is worth. I just ignored it on my last truck and traded it in at 100k. They have to replace chain, phasers? Whaateverthe fuck. Basically a bunch of money for essentially a noise.
