  1. Whelp. I know what I'm doing next month when the kids arrive.
  2. Necro bump so I don't have to start a new thread. My sons' rooms are on the opposite side of the house, and upstairs, relative to where our wifi modem is connected. Their Roku's are glitchy. I just ran a test and the rooms came in at 50 and 70 Mbps, which, from what I understand, should be more than enough to support a Roku w/o issue. Granted, I ran the tests with most of our devices off - i.e. optimum bandwidth. Assuming wifi strength was the issue, I just purchased an Eero 6. I was under the impression that I would just connect this to our current modem, place it in one of my boys' rooms, and, presto! - stronger wifi. Is this not the case? From what I've read (above) and found on YouTube, I'm being led to believe that I would need more than one Eero for a mesh system to work. I'd need one to replace my current modem, then another to "feed" off of it. TL;DR - Can I connect one Eero 6 to my current setup, place it in a room on the opposite side of the house, and enhance wifi strength OR do I need of minimum of two Eeros for this to work? @Twicehorn - Halp mountain bike buddy!
  3. What are the OU mods saying? I swear this feels like an "upside down Hook 'Em" setup.
  4. Only reason I know is because Shaggy helped me with my own similar ac issues a few years ago. My ac would turn off. When this would happen, the overflow pan would be full, which flipped the sensor. I'd have to take a bucket and drain it by hand. IIRC, there may have been a freon leak somewhere which was freezing the unit and backing it up.
  5. Wow. Vingegaard's back wheel was in the air before he recovered. That was a fun stage. I'm just ready for some Americans to graduate from domestique to team leader.
  6. That's what I was thinking, but isn't there a sensor that turns off the ac when the pan fills?
  7. Someone want to explain to my dumbass how this is going to work? I took my cell phone to a shop to replace a cracked screen. Guy said it'd take a bit and that he'd call me when it was ready. I got 2 blocks away before I realized my problem. Reminded me of this ...
  8. Damn. TN again? I may have to fly up there for that one.
  9. Ha! Took me sec. Thought it was a back brace. I mean, not the greatest part of town, but I think you'll be safe.
  10. Cross-posting from the MM thread. On Sept. 9th (Fri), Desoto plays SOC. I believe the Surly Dallas contingent should make an appearance.
  11. Friday, September 9th. Desoto v SOC. 4 Longhorn recruits. I'm going to this game. Anyone else?
  12. Here you go. 300 pounders, trannies, a chick with one leg? All in one 30 second Target ad.
  13. I forget which numbers go where. If you are parking at the end of Castle, it'd be the loop to the right of the parking lot. Not even a technical spot. Both wrecks have been within a mile of the parking lot in either direction. Hence the reason I haven't tried the black diamonds in a couple of years.
  14. Just finished. The season had its moments. A couple of things that I haven't seen mentioned. Weird that frat boy, bball dude was prominent at the beginning of the season, then disappeared only to die because he was laying on a fault line. Weird. Also, I try not to be the guy that fixates on a minor detail when virtually nothing is realistic but, how the hell is there electricity in the upside down world? I know it's a stupid thought and not important to anything but... Wasn't a fan of anything Russian related. Music - awesome. Gonna be sad to see the end this/next year.
  15. Hit RCP - literally - last Friday. Wiped out big time going down a hill. I'm not sure what happened. I just recall flying over the handlebars and rolling. Not too much in the way of bodily damage; however, I have now wrecked pretty hard two of the last three times I've MB'd.
  16. Dang. Started the thread and haven't been able to read because I'm always a day behind. There's been some hits and some misses this year. The stage in which Pogacar lost the lead was pretty cool. There's more Americans than normal. Sucks they haven't done much considering how often one is in the break.
  17. Looks like the Boys may have signed Malik Jefferson. At least according to the text I just received.
  18. I'm cool with heights as long as I'm strapped in. I.e. there's not a roller coaster on Earth that truly scares me. That being said, I don't think I'd be able to look over the side (down) of a 4-story building. FYI Y'all would love the movie, "Break".
  19. Lol. Somewhere on this thread I pointed out that my wife (and kids) will leave recycled items at the base of our back door. If you open the back door to the porch, the large, Rubbermaid recycling container is right there. I measured. 24 inches from the "settling" spot to the container on the other side of the door. This morning - 2 aluminum cans, 3 cardboard boxes, 3 plastic bottles - 2 feet from the container.
  20. Except that we may be in Hot Springs this year on TGiving. SIL is all yours.
  21. Quick update as I don't have shitall else to do right now. /Teacher on summer break 1. My SIL dropped her two dogs off at my parent's house before she flew (Disney). She flew back on July 1st; we returned on July 7th. Come to find out, she never picked the dogs up. She had tested positive for Covid, so that may or may not have been a valid excuse. She had very minor symptoms; however, I am under the impression that dogs can contract Covid, so that may have been her reasoning. Regardless, she didn't notify either of my parents. After a week, my mom just took them over to her. Still no job. She's down to about 3 weeks before her disability runs out. I have already made it perfectly clear that there is no way in hell she's going to end up in my house. Wife agrees. 2. This'll be fun. Long story short, my wife's cousin may have stolen or manipulated their grandfather's will. He passed in 2021. The cousin and his wife just bought a brand new house and $60k+ truck. I jokingly told my wife that that's where the will money went. She said that probate (or whatever it is) generally takes at least a year to get settled. Come to find out the cousin is now claiming that she wasn't in the will. Without turning this into a 2-page post, just rest assure that there is absolutely no way that he would have left her out of his will on purpose. My wife is looking into attorneys, so I've got that drama to look forward to. Fun side story. My wife's grandparents got divorced 60 years into their marriage (in 2017) because the grandmother's sisters kidnapped her. From what I understand, grandmother got put into the hospital. Her sisters were bringing food to her. The doctor asked that they stop because she was put on a specific diet. The sisters assumed that the grandfather's side of the family was trying to alienate them, so they convinced grandmother to cut off contact with grandfather and, eventually, divorce him. It was actually quite sad. Both grandparents were old and in poor health. Neither one really understood what was going on. They were just listening to those that they trusted. I have no idea how my wife is so normal.
  22. Lol. Y'all are going to love the new Target swimsuit ad.
