    I was team insulated cover for my outside taps.  The one on the N side burst or had a leak.  The tap is covered solid by ice in the shape of the cover.  Do I need to turn off water main at street before I use water to unfreeze block of ice surrounding tap?  Then turn back on to see what kind of leak I have?

    This happened to my Dad. Ended up being an old cover and water must have got trapped in the cover at some point. I chipped the excess off and then covered with a towel and poured boiling water to defreeze. Flowed fine after a bit, no leaks. Good luck.

    My cardiologist sent an email saying they would vaccinate according to the CDC schedule. When I responded to add me to any available standby list they told me they aren’t actually vaccinating anyone. Wtf. That’s a strange series of communications. Back to relying on H-E-B again.

    Reading the HEB link above, sounds like they provide vaccines via doctor's office orders first and then will go general 1B public appointments. So there is an advantage of having your doctor call it in for you I think.

    I used to have progressive.  I assume they were good, luckily I only paid in. There’s a guy on 2cool that tons of people use. If I can find a minute, I’ll try and dig up his info.  

    That guy is with Charter Lakes, it's who I went through to get insured by Chubb.

    My FIL has crepe myrtles around his pool and it has caused him to go insane. He is outside all day skimming for blooms.

    *a couple weeks ago he wanted to cut all the potential blooms off. We forgot and now he’s pissed b/c they’re bloomed our and all in the pool.

    Dear lord this. Keep the crepes at least 25' from the pool.

    Anyone heard any news about Austin area boat ramps opening after the stay at home order expires today? I've called a few different parks offices and they either don't answer or don't have a clue.

    I was on Georgetown last weekend and all ramps that weren't full were open.

    I have gotten three warning letters in 25years for leaving my garbage bin up by the corner of my garage a day after pick up. The letters even include a photo of the offending can. Said can always resides in a storage shed behind the privacy fence on the side of my house. Half the neighborhood keeps theirs parked 24/7/365 in full view on the side of their houses. 
    Fuck the Brushy Creek HOA.

     

    I mean, we pay $97 a year. It's not that bad.

    No, I have a half ton and I didn’t like being in 2nd gear at 4500 rpm going 35 mph all the way up dead Indian pass because it didn’t have the torque to stay in third. 
    if the 3.5 and 10 speed could handle it better, I might look at them but I’m thinking I want the 6.2 for up the mountains and the beefier truck for down the mountains, especially if we end up with a 6-8000 lb camper in the near future.

    Mountains are a different ballgame entirely.

    Yeah, turbos work much better.

  8. I just caught up starting Aug 20th and this downfall is like a screenplay. I find it hard to believe someone in your position hasn't seeked out medical care. No offense man, it's just hard to process/believe.

    To add, I entered rehab via ambulance.

  9. The boat was 20 yards off the shore so I somewhat understand how the crew got lazy. 

    Did a 60 hour tuna trip out of San Diego that had this set up with 20, and there were always at least 2 awake. After trolling and catching for long ass hours straight those bunks are extremely comfortable. RIP, shitty way to go.
