  1. But fumble actually had a pretty good write up overall on the root causes. We’ve taken a shit load of what used to be baseload power & replaced it with Wind & Solar - majority wind. The forward prices don’t justify building any new power plants no matter what fuel they use. Coal ain’t happening… the natural gas supply in Feb wasn’t as simple as you imply. A huge portion ( we will never know the exact %) of it going off line was due to the processing plants & compressor stations having their power turned off by ercot, so this compounded the problem. Now, all of those facilities should have been labeled “critical facilities” & never lost power. Supposedly they fixed that issue. Like some people said, we were minutes away from an even bigger disaster, if the transmission lines would have been damaged. The Texas grid was never designed for peak load in February, it’s designed for July / August. This summer if it’s 100+ & all the thermal plants are on ( we always have a few MW offline, something is always broken) & the wind dies across the state, we are fucked. We just don’t have enough thermal baseload anymore, and like he said above, lots of states are headed in this same direction. So, you want to solve the issue, the answer is higher forward prices or Ercot pays companies for stand by reserves ( which probably means higher prices) & new thermal gen will get built Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  8. Closing on my Refi tomorrow & going over the closing fees. Couple questions for the people in the know on this stuff- they have stuck a fee of $350 for a escrow fee to the title company ( this was not in the loan estimate docs, nor did I have to pay that fee when I did the original purchase. Is it a legit fee? How about the Tax Cert to the Title Co $86.50 Thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Relative listed their house in prosper yesterday for 499k . As of this morning she had 65 showings scheduled & 1 offer 35k over asking w/ free lease back, etc all in her favor. Crazy out there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Yeah, I assure you there hasn’t been any $2 trades, stare at the damn screen all day long.... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Don’t worry about state sponsor if you are in Texas. If you go with Fidelity just choose one of their age based portfolios - only Fidelity Funds, a mix of active & indexed, or just Fidelity Index funds. The Index only funds have the lowest internal cost of the 3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Where in the hell are you seeing $2 trades? Everything in the forward curve is basically 2.50-3.00. Remaining summer avg is 2.66 & winter is 2.92 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Herbie, where’s your place ? We are down 114 from him, if that’s the guy you are talking about. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Give it a chance, looks like all mine is coming back & going to make it, but I’m in Houston. Looked dead as can be until a few days ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Yeah, last time it was a west coast group that bought it. They had some really nice plans for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  16. Speaking of Lakeway / Lake Travis - anyone heard any rumors on what’s going on with the Covert Ranch ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. What should a appraisal cost on a refi in Houston on a house that was purchased less than a year ago - 2 story, approx 3500 sq ft ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  18. Speaking of Troph, have you seen / is that Azimut still out on Lake Travis ? Was a 60 something. I don’t think I’ve seen it the past couple of years. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  19. You think you the resort areas are struggling now?? Since you hate us, wait & see what would happen if no Texans went to the resorts or sold all the property they own in CO... what type of shape do you think they would be in then? How in the fuck do you know what I give a damn about? Didn’t say anything about wearing a mask, just asked if restaurants were open. But you chose to make assumptions. To get this back on track, wife just got back from Crested Butte, had good snow, light crowds, and some of the bar / restaurants were open for eating / drinking inside. Lots of take out & to go . The people there seemed just fine accepting $$ from Texans. If you own a house there & are from Texas you are still allowed to use it, as much as Chew doesn’t like that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. A lot of fucking people still want to go out & live their lives & not be locked in a closet. Not everyone’s idea of a vacation is to eat all their meals in a resort room. Thanks for letting us know there pandemic going on Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. Damn, what part of Houston / where ? Most everything I’ve seen goes pretty quick right now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  23. He’s headed towards your house, pic is right across from Angel Bay. Come on Troph, you should know that Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  24. Anyone actually seen lots of dead low fence axis? Reading conflicting reports, that lots of the dead axis people are posting pictures of are from breeding facilities. Going to try & make it to the lease this weekend & check on things. We are by Stonewall & have ( hope still...) a pretty good size axis herd. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  25. At least it’s a marina with a break wall, try having your private dock out there. It’s like being on a amusement ride sitting on your dock on a holiday weekend. No way any regulations are going to happen / possible. It gets worse as the lake level goes down & the lake gets narrower . We are in between you & troph. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
