  1. I missed that. Good to know
  2. Not really, they are stupid devices. But this will help turbo fuck the brace laws, which were bullshit, so yeah necessary evil I guess.
  3. Someone with EFILive could do it in a min and would probably be pretty cheap.
  4. Wasn’t he a sheriff for about a decade in Fort Bend? Certainly doesn’t exclude him from being a carpet bagger, but there’s more egregious examples I’m sure. I’ll need to see how he cooks his brisket to be sure.
  5. That’s almost exactly how my bay boat rides (but on pad and not straight keel). The pad is about 12x18” and once it’s on it, it’s as smooth and stable as can be. Unfortunately, I’m about 2 mph slower than when the chine walk starts on that hull. Will be something I’ll have to cross when it gets repowered, but #absolutelyworthit
  6. Meh. No worries here. I’ll never fault anyone for passing along what they can to their kids
  7. Step daughter. And being gifted the first 2 in Austin and another abroad from her side definitely helped. Otherwise, I’d assume he’d have had to work past the age of 30.
  8. Pretty sure he’s referencing the real estate cooling off. Also, my FIL informed me a month or so ago that my BIL bought a cabin on an island in Maine to go along with their other vacation houses.
  9. They are free to find employment that pays them their “worth”. Or to find a place they can afford to live (but I WANT to live in ATX or Nashville!!1!). Most people understand if you don’t want to work in fast food, skip the neck and face tattoos and attend a couple of community college courses. Voila! You’re now certified to work the desk at the minute clinic or secretary in Corp USA or whatever he fuck is between fast food and college educated. It’s pretty fucking simple to understand, and deserve doesn’t have a lick of shit to do with it.
  10. Not really. I commented that it’s not atypical to do it stateside and you suggested I read slower. You even capitalized DON’T. Commenting on something you don’t have a clue about is surly pastime; would be too much to own it I suppose. I’ve got some examples of people doing construction like we do here from all over the world if you want? But but but in Isla Muejeres.
  11. Here’s a few where trucks, poles, complete removal were used. Corpus to Mount Belvieu Marietta to Brunswick
  12. Well, I hired bucket trucks to lift lines, including using poles, for a fuck ton of moves for the better part of a decade. So maybe talk about what you’ve actually done or go fuck yourself?
  13. I need to do this but it is 3rd level of hell hot right now and I’m not sure I would make it.
  14. We do this here, too. Bucket trucks and 1x4’s strapped to the top of high loads is everyday stuff in heavy haul
  15. I’ve switched cable/dish/internet a few times over the last 11 years we’ve been in our home. Every one of them just left their shit there. It’s on my to do list to get rid of a few of those boxes. They are hidden from street view but it still bothers me.
  16. Just got back from 3 days at Splashway. My body is broken. My liver is broken. Camper did great. Had a tiny spot deep in the transmission wiring harness that was causing all my issues; truck was back to its old self after I got that sorted. Concan next on the calendar, can’t wait.gif
  17. Like his style from a vid or two I’ve seen on him.
  18. I had a 5.3 go just under 300k without motor issues. Have had a 280k and 130k in 6.2s without motor issues. I prefer the 6.2 for the extra oomph but they are millions of the 5.3s on the roads.
  19. I still remember when I realized a 20’ stringer is ALOT better than an 8’. Never cared for the doughnets. But a few visits from the man in the grey suit (or slacks) will fix you up right quick. A couple of years ago we were offshore on a super calm July day, and the heat was getting out of control. We stopped in a random ass spot to grab beers and splash some fuel and I decided I wanted to cool off in the water like the million times I did growing up. As I’m about to jump off the bow the biggest hammerhead I’ve ever seen swims right along the port. Fuck. That. We weren’t on structure, no platforms within miles. Just some spot ~40 miles offshore. No idea what the odds on that one is, but my happy ass stays in the boat when offshore now.
  20. Floater near the mouth. The money wasn’t even the driver at the time, although the wife wouldn’t have been happy. They were 35-50k forever, and I just assumed it wouldn’t make a jump like that. Boss’ SIL bought into one last year, 225k. Too much for me for something you can’t insure that gets damaged that much.
  21. That’s probably right on the faucet. Your setup is pretty bad ass. Wish more could do that, we need some help on water usage.
  22. Mine runs at 5.5G/min. I tested it a year or so ago because of a commercial pressure washer I had needed 5 to run. Don’t know if that’s common or not but assume so. We have a 4500 or 5000g cistern system at the family place in Bandera. It is nice water. I was living up there once when it didn’t appreciably rain for something like 300 days. I trucked water in a few times. Something like @troph has seems like normal life wouldn’t be interrupted.
  23. Ive got one better. Within the last ~7 years, I passed on a cabin in Baffin for 35k. You know, the ones getting 100k just for the permits now... I will never forgive myself or the buddies I pitched it to.
