  1. We are at the tail end of negotiations with insurance companies. We will not be made whole but it should be enough to make rebuild feasible, which is sadly better than a lot of folks. Gunite is less susceptible as I understand it but it can happen. It all has to do with the mix including size and type of aggregate material etc… our rebuild will be gunite from a company that works with an engineering firm to test their mix design for ASR reactivity. My pool builder setup a call with the company owner so I could ask questions to get comfortable that this would not happen again. It was a really good call.
  2. Spent 6 months in both Iraq and Afghanistan providing air base security with the Air Force so no direct combat for me and will defer here for that first hand knowledge. While I was not in direct combat one thing that stuck with me after the deployments is just how much of it makes you say WTF was the point of all this (except of course the shared struggles of deployment with the brothers and sisters serving alongside you)? Sure there are major operations and missions such as killing Bin Laden and other HVTs but in between all that there is so much bullshit and unfortunately pain and suffering that only leaves you with more questions than answers. I think this movie did a good job illustrating that. At the end you just kind of ask WTF was all that for?
  3. Walton Goggins is one of the best TV actors of all time.
  4. Yes the only fix is rip out and rebuild.
  5. Unfortunately we are dealing with it now. Look for white lines (these are the cracks) visible in the pool. We noticed the first crack in the spa bench. The dark lines are all the cracks so far. The only way to test is to have cores drilled out and sent to a lab for testing. We did not do that only because it’s obvious because of the visible damage.
  6. Rori is back. Video at the link. https://x.com/texaswbb/status/1909980365210464716?s=46
  7. You think his family will let him go to Cleveland… Ha.
  8. Use some of that Chavez money here!
  9. I seem to recall a certain CFB coach saying this recently. Just can’t quite remember who…
  10. This game screams Chavez as the missing piece. Need a consistent deep threat that can open up the inside.
  11. If Blue and Bond run that slow they need to get their head examined for saying they are going to break Worthy’s record.
  12. FOX 7 had a news story about measles vaccination rates, which included a chart to data from Texas DHS that allows you to search by school district. I sense a trend among the lowest rates of vaccination against measles. You can find the full chart here. https://infogram.com/mmr-vaccinations-1h1749wny3mdq2z?live
  13. Trey took an arm to the back of the head.
  14. Wemby is apparently doubtful with an illness for tomorrow. That sucks.
  15. Buckle up folks.
  16. Enhanced standards of conduct: The federal workforce should be comprised of employees who are reliable, loyal, trustworthy, and who strive for excellence in their daily work. Employees will be subject to enhanced standards of suitability and conduct as we move forward. Employees who engage in unlawful behavior or other misconduct will be prioritized for appropriate investigation and discipline, including termination. 3rd world loyalty tests.
  17. They know what time it is.
  18. Just wait until the Democrats are back in the oval. Time to really focus on “well regulated militia”.
  19. Lol. You think there will be such a thing as the NFIP once this administration gets their hands on it.
