  1. Hey @Troph we're neighbors!  We live on TC Circle.  Just finished turning the water off on the City side manhole.  All pressure dropped to zero inside the house but I noticed the hose bib closest to the street still had water flow.  I double checked the City valve and sure enough had turned it 180 the wrong direction.  Could have been bad if I hadn't double checked everything.   Good to have you as a neighbor.  Let me know if you need anything.

    You’re probably right but we aren’t likely to get it back for a while so I guess better safe than sorry.

  2. I have joint pain in both shoulders. Sort of a low grade hot pain that’s getting worse and more constant with time. Going on about two years now. Any recs for a supplement or cream? Anyone try cbd oils?

  3. I guess I’m dense or something because I don’t understand all of this overflow talk. My wife freaks out every time a big storm comes through and the pool level is full but it’s not a crisis or anything. The water just goes into the yard and drains off just like all the other water that’s not landing in the pool drains. If it’s summertime I’ll just do a few cannonballs and it will all be cool. I mean it’s not like they are intended to be a detention pond or anything.

    So we now have a dog named Catboy. Wife made the mistake of asking our 3.5 year old what she wanted to name it.

    My parents gave my older brother and me the naming rights to a white cat we had just got.  He was about 5 and I was 3.  Mom helped us by recommending that we think of things that were white like the cat. My brother and I wouldn't compromise so the cat was hence forth known as "Cotton Ice Box"...

  5. I have a friend that works at Big Daddy Unlimited which is an online buyers club. He tells me that they have good inventory on firearms and ammunition. You can get a trial membership for something like $1 for the first month if you want to check out their prices.

  6. How does one just scrape by for the duration of an engineering degree?  When I got mine, if you made it through the first two years then you were pretty safe from the flunk out / drop out scenario.  Of course only 30% or so made it to that magical two-year cutoff point.


    He was getting by until he wasn’t. Kicked the can down the road until he couldn’t.
  7. A 'friend' needs hundreds of gold and silver coins apprised and sold.  These are "standing liberty" 20 dollar gold coins from 1900-1920's as well as Mexican gold coins.  This is all being done legitimately through a family corporation and needs to be professionally inventoried, valued, and sold.  They need three independent appraisals to satisfy family shareholders.  Does anyone know how to go about this?  This doesn't sound like something you do at the local pawn shop.  Thanks.
