  1. We have ADT and I've been happy with it. Scared off a burglar that tried to enter through a side door, so I'm sold on having a system of some kind. But the ADT price has crept up to $45/mo at this point which is too damn high (like the rent). Is Simplisafe a legit alternative? I know Google/Nest has an alarm product too but don't hear much about it. Any other recs?
  2. Any surly golfers have a GCQuad? Let's put a game together.
  3. GhettoDreamz...DiamondRingz...Money, Hoez, Clothez and all those FancyThingz
  4. yourname@gmail.com is the same address as your.name@gmail.com Setup a filter in gmail so the your.name stuff skips your inbox, is archived, deleted, whatever. You still have the convenience of having your email in one place but the spam never bugs you.
  5. Rick's was our spot back in the day since the door guys weren't too strict. Good times.
  6. Tyler Lee alumni checking in. The school was actually quite progressive in that they dropped the Rebels name and flag, and adopted the Red Raiders in the early 70s, long before it was fashionable. I don't get back much but still believe parts of east Texas are the prettiest that the state has to offer. Hwy 69 from Tyler to Jacksonville is beautiful. I just wish Tyler would ban franchise restaurants. Holy shit - enough already. Very few family owned joints.
  7. I think the county appraisal district and the county clerk will withhold/redact your information from searches upon request. Just ask the question. Solves most of your issues it would seem.
  8. Pump sits in crate and is strapped in using a motorcycle ratchet strap since the pump's motor is so "torque-ey" I didn't want it wiggling around underwater. There's also a 10 lb. dumbbell in the carton just to weigh the kit down a bit. 1.5" PVC coming up to a tee with another 1.5" PVC running laterally above it. About 50 holes drilled in the lateral piece that spray water up at about a 45 deg angle and outward about 15' back into the pool. I made the lateral piece removable with that rubber connector just to keep the kit more portable. Link to pump (1hp version): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017TWW1PI/
  9. Can you post more info on the Pentair chiller? Link or model number maybe?
  10. Same situation on trees for us. I tried the misters that you put on the returns. Didn't work well and I was concerned my kids would break one. I built a different one for about $75 that works off of a submersible pump. I ran it overnight on Tuesday and got a 6 degree drop the next morning. Will post pics if anyone is interested. Probably run it twice or week or so during the summer.
  11. Not sure if serious but if so please shoot me a PM.
  12. Any surlies deal with ocean freight? Looking to move a container of "product" from Brazil to Houston. On a container ship, not a submarine or cigarette boat.
  13. His takes are solid and I listen/watch him sometimes but something about his delivery was bothering me. I finally decided it was the over-cursing. It made me seriously evaluate the amount of cursing I do and whether or not people found me as annoying as I found him to be. Not sure that was the message he was trying to get me to absorb but that's what happened. But what if that was his plan all along? mindblown.gif
  14. Are we talking a focused non-terminal repeating phantasm (class 5 full roaming vapor) or something else?
  15. I did this homework project last year and came to the conclusion that I needed a Speed Queen TC5000WN. Then I never pulled the trigger. Look into that one and see if they made any updates/improvements for the 2020 models. Edit: please post your findings.
  16. I have eero and it's been great. But they just got bought by Amazon, which I wasn't thrilled to hear.
  17. None of the embedded Youtube videos are playing for me. I can see the "cover image" of the YT video but it never plays.
  18. Posting this one for the drivers. An older cut but still good. https://youtu.be/NaR3Muj2S_s
  19. It really is mind numbing how screwed up the medical billing process is. So much smoke and mirrors and you feel like they're trying to trickfuck you for thousands of dollars in my case with zero explanations available.
  20. Had to put a kid in the Dell ER 18 months ago. The bill comes and it has some charges on it for doctors we never saw and procedures we never got. Called in to Dell to attempt to get an explanation for the bill multiple times but nobody with a brain would ever talk to me. Was promised callbacks from a manager that never came, yada yada. Fast forward to today and we've been sent to collections. I understand how that game is played and I'm capable of handling a collection agency. My question is - are there any ramifications back on the Dell side? I don't want to show up with a sick kid someday in the future and be turned away because Dell now thinks I'm a deadbeat.
