  1. I saw them frequently enough growing up when we’d go to Rayburn, but like I said, never seen them the last 16-17 years living around Houston. Cool to see them. It plopped down on my roof loudly. Hope those talons didn’t fuck up my shingles.
  2. I’ve lived in the Houston area for 15+ years and haven’t seen a wild bald eagle in the area ever. Lots of hawks and osprey. Recently I’ve seen several near where we live SE of houston, including one on my roof, and we saw one off 290 outside of Houston on our way to Austin a couple weeks ago. Has something changed?
  3. Still wouldn’t be the dumbest poster on surly.
  4. Did we have more solar go online since this summer to achieve this record? Because i wouldn’t think the cold would make up for the loss of 4 hours of sunlight
  5. I thought I saw a ventilation fan a long while back but don’t in your latest pictures. I don’t think the air would turn over very well down there, so you should hook one up. Also might not be a bad idea to get an o2 monitor. You can get them for about $100
  6. I did not even realize that button was there and must have accidentally fat fingered it. Thank you!
  7. The tooth just to the left of my two front teeth had to be removed. It’s been out since thanksgiving. My dentist convinced me that being in the front a bridge was the way to go instead of an implant because they said it would like better. What are your thoughts on bridge vs implant? I was shocked yesterday when I found out it was going to be $4k after my insurance covered their part.
  8. @immamac is there a new layout setting I need to modify to get the large grey boxes to stop showing up?
  9. We gutted a run down house and are almost done and ready to rent. It’s been a long 2 years. It’s in Brazoria, and it borders a large ranch / wooded area, and the owner is very nice and said he doesn’t mind if the kids play and hunt and build on it. When it finally got the point of having electricity and water turned on to outside faucet, the kids started coming and doing “camping” trips. The first few were semi legit camping with no plumbing, lights only, slept in a tent or mosquito proof hammock. Granted we now have electricity, running water, carpets, refrigerator etc and it isn’t really much camping, but when they go most of the time they are out in the woods and come back covered in mud after building forts or hunting squirrels with their BB guns. We have a campfire all day, and at night we’ll roast marshmallows and tell stories. When we do watch TV, I’ll drag the TV outside and we’ll watch scary (for 8 and 10 yo) movies in the dark by the fire. I think it’s been great for them and is. Im actually a bit sad that we’re about to be done and find to rent it out. We’ve kind of kicked around moving there, but I’d have to change jobs and the schools system isn’t great from what I’ve seen.
  10. @PvilleStang how do you deduct your time from your taxes, or was that a figure of speech?
  11. If in a full on assault we would mop up Iran, why would they be trying to provoke us? It makes me afraid they know something we don’t, along the lines of finding out that Super Power Russia wasn’t really that Super.
  12. Did you let him watch daredevil? It’s not like DD all the time, but it has its moments
  13. Picks up in ep3 quite a bit. Fisk is such a bad person.
  14. It is different, that’s for sure. I’m only 2 episodes in. I do enjoy. It also feels a little like watching a foreign film because so much of it is signed and subtitled.
  15. I’d gotten down to 193 last year, but I’ve been up around 205 for a few months now. I’ve been this weight before (5’8”), but really bad thing this time is my pants are about to be too small. I’ve cut back (pretty much stopped non body weight) on squats and deadlifts, and it has kept back issues down, but my 205 now is much less muscle mass. If I’m going to be this weak I need to drop at least 25 lbs. My self control has been terrible, so doctor has me set up to try some ozempic. Day 3 of diet. We’ll see how this goes.
  16. I typed your thread title in Google without your bullshit stream of consciousness and got better answers than what you’ll get here in a few seconds.
  17. Seemed like the best thread for this. What was MobilOil credit union is now Rave Financial. I can get a 1% balance transfer that has a 5.9% interest rate on it forever. So less up front, and lower interest on something I plan on taking a while to pay off than the ones that go to 18-30% after 12 or 21 months. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good balance transfer card? Maybe I’m thinking of it wrong and bouncing a long term debt around at 3% every 12-21 months is better than my 5.9% interest. Any unicorns that are 0-1% transfer fee and no interest for a 21 months and still low after that?
  18. Does giving handjobs to yourself all the time make you gay (nttawt)? No? Then carry on
  19. Until this post I just assumed you were in BFE on your property somewhere, but you’re right by your shop / house. So is this going to actually be used for something? How deep are you going to go before you turn and make a space to walk?
  20. We had Hulu + live up until yesterday. We only get it during football season. Has been fine. We’re back to Hulu/Disney trio bundle for ~25/ a month now plus Netflix.
  21. A i mentioned in my post, the guy is also my RE agent. Sold our first personal home, bought our second personal home, had brought me a couple deals for rentals, and he’s the first person I contacted when I wanted to list a lot recently. His rentals mostly pays his employees, and they are essentially advertising / networking / relationship building for buying and selling hom
  22. We are Sarks redemption school, why not be Beards?
