Judging by the pile of cash…it looks like you got the same washer and dryer setup my wife did.

Hey now… Welcome to the forum.

So - this is the grilling section. You got a good recipe for those?

alright…that one bumped me to rookie. Lucky thread.

Lucky you. I’m a newbie who has been here since March 2009.

Sounds like you found a winner. I doubt you’d get anywhere near that much out of a 3rd…so no reason even looking for that one. Congrats!

And where did he get so good at Chinese?

Pretty sure @392heminut did that one handed with a 1911 on a first shot too, but I’ve been wrong before.

Played with the kids a bit, oldest (almost 11) finally learned to ride a bike today. Started building the mock-up for the fireplace hearth and cooked a few burgers. Happy Labor Day all. It’s back to work in the morning. Yay.

Any chance of saving the place is worth a little injen-uity. It’s definitely inspired me to be thinking more about it.

Wells don’t usually go dry (though they can)….so through the course of a fire it should continue to produce. If it were to go dry during an event like that it would be an amazing coincidence. Having it on a power source not connected to the grid will allow it to keep producing. I’ll have 15,000 gallons in the tanks and hope to add another 10,000 at some point not too far down the road. With the we’ll still running it should continue to put water into the tanks…hopefully at a pace at least close to what we were spraying on the house. I’ve been using a water wagon with a pump similar to what Magwa has set up. They’re great systems, but the gas tank on that motor runs dry relatively quickly. A generator, even a portable one can run 12-24 hours. A bigger gen with 100 gallon fuel cell will go even longer. It would take a hell of a battery system to run the pumps very long.

I want to get a generator or solar battery system hooked up that’s enough to run the well, and then additional pumps to run sprinklers around the house. Something that if we have to leave…we can flip on and hope it runs as long as possible. Having the well on the system would keep adding water to the tank and hopefully that thing would just continue to sprinkle until we got home.

Welcome from San Diego.

Wow man, I’m sorry to hear all that. Prayers for Elsa and your wife’s friend along with condolences for Buda. Diabetes is tough to manage and I see a lot of folks just pushing through it without the care and willpower it requires. Just eating what they want and shoving in more insulin to “cover” it. We can’t live their lives for them, but it sucks to see them getting destroyed. Diabetes is a nasty animal and just kills everything in the body.

It’s what came in the mail anyways…. @Robocop1051

I still have some smaller rounds. 4”, 10” and rabbit.

….with the exception of MattCross. He’ll hopefully remember I said arseholes and know I didn’t mean him….

Yeah…but the ones that don’t drink are OLD. I got pretty good odds there too.

Those arseholes? They’ll drink that away before this weekend. Chances of remembering that line are pretty slim. I’ll take those odds.

Won’t be the same. Need that pressure. Just shooting with a bunch of yahoo’s might not have the same feel.

I would love to do something like this someday, and I would be thrilled if I scored anywhere near as high as @BigNate - I suuuck. The lessons learned would be worth any humiliation I brought on myself though.

We have a bunch of big ones cores and ready to go for tonight. and one saaaad little jalapeño growing in a pot.

We had some jalapeños we didn’t water much one year…holy crap hot. From what I’ve read, less water equals more heat.

You can get both of those in the mail!? Amazon is amazing.

….500 blackout or 338?
