  1. So if one were to launch a stock sale for say, $3bn?  And then then next day, for example, sell 1/3rd of that stock...would that affect the rest the outstanding share pricing?  Just asking for a friend.  

    Guess your friend doesn’t have to worry anymore since that person doesn’t have to sell anymore …
  2. They are onboarding more alternative energy to blame this coming summer and winter.  So as an excuse to roll it back and pay more for LNG.  There’s also a side angle play to permit new SMRs which I’m cool with.  I’ll go a typical long diatribe about it all later.  But it’s a mid-term con game with regard to batteries.  

    What the fuck are you talking about? Rolling back renewables to pay more for LNG? Last I checked no one in Ercot is buying LNG. & no one is rolling back renewables any time soon, they are more of the grid everyday.

  3. Haven’t seen anyone mention it, but if you don’t already have a Rollover IRA & you create one it will potentially screw you if you do back door Roth Conversions. If you already have one, then you should already know this. It’s the 1 big downside to rolling over a 401k to an IRA.

  4. Anyone have insider info on White Water Midstream? Got a job possibly lined up with them, but not sure if I want to leave my company. Being in this business for almost 20yrs, I always see these midstream companies being gobbled up by the big dogs once projects are done. My employer now is known for scooping these assests up. Just conflicted since I don't know a ton about them. 

    They seem to good at what they do. They’ve built their pipes on time & customers seem to be happy with them. They have some other projects in the pipeline. I was impressed with their execs, when we met with them.

  5. It’s the transition from the sun going down, but it’s too hot for the wind to blow.
    Forced outages aren’t high right now.  It’s just fucking hot at the end of a fucking hot summer when units have been running full blast for a long time.  Based on day ahead prices, anybody capable moving electrons would be doing so.  The projected demand is looking to exceed the previous record.  Not sure how there is market manipulation at record demand.

    This is it. Shit has been running all out for 2 months straight now. I know a portion of you don’t like to believe it, but shit breaks when it’s 105 out every day & you are running all for days on end with no maintenance. It’s all about the wind, when it fails things get tight on the grid.

  6. Tbone, I’ll throw out a different idea, just to check out. Have you researched to see if there are any boat clubs in your area? I looked at Freedom, but doesn’t look like they are in AZ. You don’t u e to jack with any of the things you are worried about, a slip or storage, trailer parking, or what type of boat you want. Most of them have ski / surf boats, runabouts, & pontoons. You can use a different one each time you go out & figure out what works the best for you. Biggest drawback is you have to plan ahead some & probably can’t keep the boat out all day - most are 1/2 slots. They have gotten pretty popular around here & in FL.

  7. Just wrapped up the haggling. Going to pick her up Saturday morning since it's out at a dealership way out in the sticks.

    Mind sharing how much you got off MSRP? I’ve started looking, but going to try & hold out till Oct, have a 2013 KR w/ 153K miles & it still runs great.

  8. I was on a client call and it was so effing loud and I said wow that’s scary. Later I find out from my wife and son who showed up first and called 911 that that scary sound was lightening around the corner incinerating a house. 

    Was that on your street ? Or over off bee creek ? Heard there was in The Hills the other week that the same thing happened to.
  9. Anyone know of any good rim repair places in Houston?  I would love to tell you my wife did it, but alas.  I got over a bit too far when someone decided to jump their lane due to a fucking street parker. 

    Check out Rollos, on Bissonnet

  10. Moving to the Nottingham Forest area soon. What are some of the places I'll be eating at? 

    Assume you have kids and are moving for the schools, if not why are you moving out here…

    Monarch is the bar actually closest to you, you can ride up there in the golf cart. Ninfas, wasn’t mentioned above, but most people go to Los Tios or Ninfas now for their Mexican fix. Looks like there are a handful of us over here.

  11. That’s only a 12 footer. #2 PT wood still isn’t cheap. Can’t imagine a 16+ foot trailer, but it would be easier to bend the wood. My all in was about $220.

    Got a 16ft’er I need to do- how’d you get last few boards in ? Bend them with a jack ?
  12. I’m not going in that other thread, but I heard this today. Mass shootings make up less than 2% of the people killed by firearms, most of them are killed by pistols. So how about a Mandatory Felony requiring time in prison for anyone caught with an illegal pistol?? That would make an impact on the deaths, but I guarantee you a certain political party that advocates for gun control wouldn’t go for it, b/c they would claim it’s racism or something along those lines.

    No mention in the media of the 7 teenagers killed over the weekend in Houston, by I’m sure people who bought the guns legally & follows the laws.

    Not much mention of the 25 people in Chicago shot, 4 of them fatally over the weekend. Chicago has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, doesn’t seem to make Jack difference there does it…
