Yes: Pools are worth it....
I think I'm sick of my polaris. Anybody run a robot cleaner?

Broken Irrigation Wire?
Those are irrigation wires. Probably for a zone that wasn't used. If all your zones come on don't worry about it. Red wires are for individual zone valves and the white is the common, so they won't be tied together except where they terminate at a valve. Also, do not use regular wire nuts underground. You have to use the blue ones that have waterproof jizz packed inside.

Luke Armstrong (Lances Son) Seems a Bit Rapey
"The affidavit says 21-year-old Luke David Armstrong sexually assaulted a 16-year-old after a party in south Austin in June 2018. He was 18 at the time." This is modern journalism.

My little tub o' love Zoe weighed in at 141 today. She thinks laying on the floor at the vet is for peasants so she sits on the people bench.

We're getting older, so let's reach some conclusions about gin
I agree there are flavor differences in vodka. Since they're all cut with water it only makes sense.

Bourbon is grain alcohol. The reason vodka has no flavor is because it's distilled to ~94.5%. Basically pure ethenol, which has no flavor. Whiskies are never distilled above 80% or so to retain most of the natural flavors from the mash ingredients. The rest of the flavor comes from the aging process. Gin almost always starts out as a neutral spirit just like vodka, then the botanicals are added back in using various methods. Some of which a basic infusion at the end of the process. So yeah, gin is flavored vodka.

I tried Wild June a few years ago and it was absolutely horrible. And I thought I celebrated gin's entire catalog.

America is in a sex recession
I'd like to think we as Americans could do something about this if only we would try, ya know? Like we could dream something, start a movement. Maybe instead of a sex recession, we could have a sex concession stand? You know like, yeah I'll have a frito pie, a blow job, and one a those blue sno cones. It's my dream anyway.

Texas athletes petitioning University to replace "The Eyes of Texas" and to no longer require athletes to sing it
You know what else is irrelevant? The fact the connection to Lee was mentioned at all. The ENTIRE FUCKING UNIVERSITY has ties to slavery and the confederacy. The 40 acres was donated by a Confederate officer. It's the flagship university of a slave state. For fuck's sake.

Sung to the tune of Barney the purple dinosaur: I love you, you love me We're a happy (multiracial) family We got blacks, whites, latins And Asians too With one strong voice we say FUCK OU! There. Unity! **Probably should add a couple more verses to include Pacific islanders, native Americans, LGBTQHLMNOP, the Arabs, those amazon pygmies, and the Jews.

Texas BBQ
Good, I had the jap sausage for the first time, but I think I prefer their traditional hot. Brisket was damn good, and the chop was better than ever.

Texas deep freeze carnage thread
I would replace the hose bib. They are cheap pieces of shit and there's really no reason to try to fix em. Adjustable wrench and channel locks, make sure you hold a back up wrench on the copper stub out. Full disclosure: I'm a plumber.

That I don't know. I've only used the two port body above, never had to put anything inside. One port for switch, one for gauge. But I'm a well pump novice at best.

Probably selling you the whole pressure switch assembly (body, switch, gauge). Not sure if you can get the just the body itself without going to Austin pump or someplace like that. And they're not real sweet on the general public coming in there, especially right now.
