  1. Went out to check my hose bibs around dark and 3 out of 4 were frozen. Quick hit with the blow dryer and 2/3 were operational again in no time. Wrapped the fuck out of them and built shelters around them. Been dropping my faucets inside like a mother since Friday night. The one that wouldn’t unfreeze is supplied by a line that runs in the attic above the garage (which is uninsulated) into my spray foam sealed attic above the rest of the house. Hit it with the laser thermometer in the attic above the garage and the pipe wrap was showing 16. I guess I’m just hoping the pex can handle it at this point. Fuck.
  2. The power grid is getting slammed... ERCOT forecast has demand exceeding supply tonight at 9. Urging customers to conserve electricity to prevent rolling blackouts. Unplug/turn off shit you’re not using.
  3. Drinks aren’t already frozen? Otherwise, you should be drinking them now so they don’t go to waste when they inevitably freeze and explode.
  4. As long as you can keep the equipment running, not needed
  5. Regardless, seal the damn wounds if you cut your oak trees.
  6. Be sure to turn off your water heater if you plan to drain the lines.
  7. I thought the state mandated that the provider could not ask for proof. 100% honor system. Quick, someone get governor hot wheels on the line.
  8. Wilco presser today said FHS will be reaching out for 2nd dose scheduling, not the county.
  9. 2 weeks since my first poke at FHS. 3 family members also at 2 weeks from a FHS poke with no email regarding 2nd appointment. Not freaking out yet but the comments made today during the WilCo press briefing are saying this is normal.
  10. Cedar is high again. Make it stop!!!
  11. I was asked which group and what pre-existing condition qualified me for that group. No proof required.
  12. Yes. Otherwise there’s another lengthy line you gotta go through for paperwork.
  13. Could the new strains be increasing hold and starting to drive up the new case totals?
  14. Yes, 1st shot of Moderna last week at Kelly Reeves in Austin. 1B group. Super streamlined, took about 20 minutes total and never got out of the car. Had a headache, general tiredness and sore arm the day after.
  15. If you had a strong reaction to the first shot, you might not have much on the 2nd. Running theory is you may have been exposed previously and the 1st shot triggers the immune response. That or the second shot is really going to kick you in the balls.
  16. Oh I’m certain it’s political. Just not seeing enough people calling that out.
  17. This is good news: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/01/29/moderna-asks-fda-to-allow-more-doses-in-each-covid-19-vaccine-vial.html Moderna is seeking approval to put more dosage in the same vials because the manufacturing process to fill them is a bottleneck. Ups from 10 to 15 doses.
  18. The Wilco FHS hub has been going through their entire allotment in 2-3 days for the past 2 weeks they've gotten shots. I haven't been following APH's numbers as closely but they appear to be moving a tad slower. Might be due to their ridiculous internal prioritization policies.
