  1. Another good rain storm right now in Central Austin.  lol at almost all the forecasts showing a dry Memorial Day Weekend just as recently as Wednesday/Thursday.  

    Are we still pretty certain the sun will come out today or are we looking at clouds all morning and afternoon?
     

     

  2. KXAN better bring Uncle Jim back out of retirement for this.  

    Although on second thought, he was filling in for David Suits on Tuesday and he predicted less than 10% chance of rain for today.  

    So maybe the game has passed him by.  Who knows.  

    Turn my fahking power back on.

    Sorry @Chet Steadman, you had to take one for the team.

    I stand by the post I made back in February when I went 98 hours without power.  

    If this lasts more than 18 hours, I’m posting Adler’s cell on both Surly and Reddit.  

    FAAFO

  4. So what’s the actual latest?  I went back in September and nearly consumed a double LuAnn expecting it to be my last but so far, everything appears to be business as usual.   

    They’re likely going to end up keeping the better performing units right?

    …right?

    I can believe that.  I have noticed mentions by various Trump-supporting relatives/etc. have dropped way off.

    Holy shit, kids unwrapping fucking toys on YouTube and Instagram are getting traffic that makes Trump look pathetic.

    And a competent web developer could have built a simple WordPress site with more functionality.

  6. My favorite part of this list of nearly fifty potential sites, is that the city has left open the possibility that the final determining site, may not in fact, be included on this list.

    I guess the next list will include elementary schools and retirement homes.

    That bullseye needs to move northwest about 80 or 90 miles.

    That much rain in the right spot would take Lake Travis from about 659’ to 685’+ in about 72-96 hours.

    I love Pinthouse, and I know this is a thread about pizza, but charging almost $20 for a 4-pack of Jellyfish or Training Bines at the grocery store seems a little ridiculous. That's basically what it costs at a bar. 
     

    I think my favorite go-to beer of any Texas brewers is St. Arnold's Art Car IPA. Damn near perfect IPA imo.

    And Tony C’s has it on draft.  It’s my go-to.

    Again, Prop B didn't address homeless along trails because that was always not allowed. Cronk didn't enforce the ban because of Corona. Council never legalized camping on trails and parks.

    I wasn't making a comment about Prop B.  I was making a comment about the raging fire that lasted over half an hour this morning which was caused by a homeless camp positioned on the middle of the Hike & Bike Trail.

  10. Purchased a home a few years ago which was my first with a pool.  The home was completely gutted and remodeled a couple years back but the pool was largely left untouched.  Aside from relatively new plumbing and piping, it’s not a stretch to think the pool itself is all original from 30+ years ago.  It looks great from afar but upon closer inspection, it’s hurting.  Big time.  Small cracks everywhere in the plaster which, combined with the seemingly never-ending pollen, makes it nearly impossible to keep it looking clean for more than a few days at best.  The Polaris can’t get to the higher walls and cracks which are always full of dirt and compounds on itself.  The pool guy can barely keep up.     

    I knew when I bought the house the pool would have to be redone sooner rather than later and I can’t imagine going more than another a year or so without doing it.  But, I don’t even know where to begin?  It’s a large pool (16k +/- gallons if I had to guess?), all plaster aside from the tile edges.  I’d love to do a tile throughout but given the cost savings, I may stick with re-tiling of the perimeter and a new plaster.  

    Generally speaking, what does something like this even cost?  Given everything which has occurred in the past few months am I better off investing in one of the super high-end Polaris’ or Dolphins to hold me over until things slow down next year or does it look like this may go on indefinitely?  Are companies even doing this now or are they too busy with the big six figure construction jobs? 

    Help me, I’m dumb.  And I have no idea what I’m doing   

    @mchookem looks like you just went through something similar?
