    Unfortunately I think I’m in the same boat. Would you mind if I reached out via PM to pick your brain?

    Absolutely. I’ve heard there are up to 1,000 pools in central Texas with this issue. Feel free to PM me and anyone for that matter with ASR questions. If your pool was constructed from 2018-2021 with shotcrete and you have cracking…it’s a possibility.

    I hate you all. This is beautiful, and I'm a petty, jealous man right now. 

    Thanks. Having a pool ripped out of your backyard with jackhammers for months was not a fun experience…windows shattering on other side of house from vibrations. Was unreal watching. But happy with outcome.

  3. Well, I’ve been avoiding this thread for almost three years.

    My pool was constructed with shotcrete that caused ASR. The shell started cracking. After a year empty and another year plus with an attorney and a settlement…last weekend we finally filled the new one.

    The only cure for ASR is complete demolition of previous pool/concrete etc. The post demolition photo is attached. There was a pool that looked similar prior to this demo.

    It wasn’t worth it for the last few years…but we finally have our pool/backyard back.

    It was nice to tweak a couple things but damn…feel sorry for the 100’s (possibly a lot more) of other people who had this issue but discovered it later and may not settle/get anything.

    Cray cray.

    Looking forward to another hot summer.

  4. They said there would be no math.

    For you Casio Databank fans/math wizards….what could happen if ETFs and regular BTC crypto platforms obtain all existing bitcoin? Or will price keep going up as the chase goes on? Always sellers?

    My interest was peaked when I was told it was finite (21m).

     

    EDIT - Google is your friend

    As I said before, could go to $1 million, could go to $0. I completely see the bear case and the bull case. I've seen enough to think there is something there and want some exposure, but I'm not putting my life savings into it.

    I do think that it's getting a little long in the tooth to call it all nonsense. Now buying in at these prices may be nonsense, but the bitcoin idea seems to have some solid points to me and the pool of people that want a piece continues to grow.

    Find a brokerage that will let you buy IBIT. Put as much as you want. I wouldn’t try and time it, like anything else.

    He kept the team together and got it to the Elite Eight for the first time in 15 years.

    He absolutely earned the job.

    Did he earn a five year deal? Well, there we're in sort of a gray area.

    Hire fast. Fire faster.

  7. I’m just pumped about Saturdays at DKR during football season from this year moving forward. There are going to be some epic matches here in ATX. I’ve waited many years, like a lot of us, for the type of schedules we are seeing now for home games.

    LFG!
