  1. Evo has $5 tickets on Tuesdays. Came out to 15 bucks for 2 tickets after fees for my daughter and I for next week. Right now Fandango is offering a $10 discount if you buy 2 or more tickets using Apple Pay with the code APPLEPAYTEN. Got our tickets for 5 bucks total. Will likely see it again in IMAX with my buddies if it is good.

    I need help on a rec for a pool robot that is worth a shit for my husband's birthday.  Budget is ~$600, but I can spend more if convinced.

    I don't follow this thread and my husband takes care of the pool.  It turns green every year and acorns settle on the bottom.  I want to help him and show him that I support him.  He's not into trouble free pool because "reasons".  It's 4' deep and 10'x40' (lap-style).  Will this work or is there something more reliable out there?

    sorry to ask, but did you get any help on this or left holding the bag?  

     

    so awful.  

    We are recouping some and coming out of pocket some. We shouldn’t have to but life is not fair. We have young kids and no neighborhood pool so it made the decision to rebuild easier.

    Since they’re tearing it all out, is there anything you’re doing different this go around in terms of layout/design?

    Kinda digging the splash pad w/ bubblers on one end, hot tub on the other, with the falls along the back length.

     

    We are doing the same design but chasing some colors a bit.

    That first pic is so perfect it almost looks AI generated.  Agree with Imma I would be fucking pissed.  Feel lucky we put a pool in back in 2014 in DFW before any of this was even a possibility.  I don't think there is nearly the problem up here with concrete cancer that seems like there has been in CenTex but I have heard a few stories.

    This was one of the professional photos our builder did. Luckily he has been a stand up guy during this process.

    I just want to say that I have been trying to incorporate 'innit?' into my every day vocabulary. I'm not sure how it's going. I think my wife would probably say not well. 

    Well thats not surprising innit. 

  6. Looking at taking the family for a short trip in June. Wife and 3 daughters between 14-8. We are thinking of traveling in on a Thursday morning and spending Thursday afternoon and Friday at the park with an AIRBNB in Terilingua. Saturday morning heading over to Alpine and Ft. Davis (lodging suggestions?) with the Star Party that evening. Heading home Sunday after lunch. 

    Only have a short window so nothing too long. Thoughts? What parts of the park should we see during our window? Having younger girls we are thinking easier hikes. Appreciate any feedback y'all can give. Wife wants to see Santa Elena Canyon for sure.

    Also, any experience carrying a handgun in the park? I’m planning to take a pistol given the remote nature of parts of the trip but not sure about inside the park.
