Padre Day 2: Went down the beach 35 miles and camped and fished. Trolled a couple swim baits about a half mile offshore and caughtht a couple King Mackerels. Those dudes took me for a ride! Hit my rod with 20# test so I had to let them do their thing and wear themselves out while I pedalled like...

I took the week off to head down to Padre and do some fishing from the kayak offshore. Currently drifting back to the beach from 5 miles out with a nice signal so let's post a couple pics! Day 1- Hit up a platform about a mile from the beach at Mile 5 of Padre Island Seashore. So much action...

We run all our drains underground via 4" pipe to pop ups.

Yep, when you have a tight space between an existing patio and a pool you have to add mucho drains. Everything has to drain away from the house and the pool so it's either little 4" bowl drains or channel drains. We don't usually use channel drains unless there's a big oopsie to fix because the...

All that that backyard could handle. It might have been 9-10k gallons. Here's a normal size one I plastered last week. Looks nice, little swim up bar.

I have the deck guys coming back right now to at least attempt to backfill it properly. If it gets fucked they will have to fix it.

Finished that little play pool a few weeks ago.

They are used to hard work outside and digging in tight spots but those boys don't have to chase turds.

Those are my plumbing subs, their boss is also their uncle, but I seriously doubt it

This is what it looks like when the deck guys get sloppy and get wet concrete in the auto fill and overflow lines.

Every action that was perpetrated by governments during Covid was absolutely malicious. Why would this be any different? I don't "they" are all in on it. But "they" will damn sure take advantage of any hysteria to increase their own power and wealth. And yes, plenty of retards that will go along...

911/War on Terror: governments get to use their new spy toys on their own citizens. Covid: governments test the limits of fear based compliance and draconian authoritarianism. Aliens: governments get to test out their new deep fake/AI technologies on their citizens already knowing how far...

Look man, I want to know more. I want to believe we aren't alone. I want to be assured that there is a higher intelligence above our fake and gay species. But testimony isn't proof of anything and "Planet Earth" did not learn that we aren't alone. I hate being such a cynic but for fuck's sake...

You mean to tell me a 1 km high wall of water wouldn't still be 1km high after travelling a thousand miles?? What are you some kind of water wizard? You probably believe the moon landing was real. Fucking retard.

Umm....20 years from 1997 was 2017. Not 2027 as suggested in that tweet. Also that video looked fake as fuck. I love how their treating a "medical emergency" in a sinister, darkened room with flashlights. The more I look into this stuff the more it seems about as credible as flat earthers. That...

What if Plato writing about Atlantis was just the biggest troll in all of human history? Richat seems like a giant red herring to me. I definitely think there are ancient civilizations we are unaware of and our understanding of antiquity is completely fake and gay but the idea that thing...

Fake and gay.

My Dr recommended this for a colonoscopy. Non invasive stool sample. https://www.moncrief.com/colorectal-cancer-screening

I hate it. Made the mistake of buying a house together and with interest rates skyrocketing am kind of stuck here for now.

Have you ever tried to just sit still for hours on end? Lots of downtime sitting at the poker table. I suck at it but I shuffle my chips a lot. Better than looking at your phone and not paying attention to what's going on at the table.

Might be a genital wart from some bad pussy.

Lol. It's just a derogatory term nerd gamers throw at each other. No one here actually poops in a sock.

10-4. Just got it done and it was as low as it gets. I do a full panel once a year and will probably do a full cancer regimen in 6 months or so. Frenzied's link a few posts up definitely piqued my interest. Cancer is something I think about and want to do everything I can to catch it early if it...

Ya, it's an interesting thought that if a species was capable of that level of genetic engineering that "junk DNA" would be eliminated and the genome would look "cleaner" than a naturally evolved organism. Problem is, we are still figuring out what is and what isn't truly junk DNA. Just because...

I read the original post. Everything he described is just human/animal genetics, biochemistry, and anatomy with an alien twist. Lots of details sure, whoever wrote that should be writing bio sci-fi, it might be really interesting. But not a single one of those details are at all revelatory of...

I really want to believe but give me a break. 100% unsubstantiated words on a message board that any graduate level biochem student could come up with over a weekend. This isn't some amazing information that's too awesome to be a larp. Let's review a couple things. I know for a fact that Julian...

Absolutely yes.

Thanks for the heads up. Will be doing follow up blood work pretty regularly. Me and a couple buddies did a couple cycles of Gold's Gym test back in our twenties, I didn't have any bad side effects. Not worried about my sex drive at the moment, I doubt high T is going to make my old lady's fat...

@lurkingdirk Glad you got it caught early and getting it treated ASAP. I'm sure it will be ok in the end. Did my yearly blood work, my total Test was 258 at age 49. I'm pulling the trigger on TRT. Go in for my first butt pellet next week.

Every pool I've ever built was filled with a garden hose. It's not really as bad as people think in regards to a giant water bill or whatever. Have you ever really examined your water bill closely? 13k gallons isn't that big of a deal for anyone that regularly waters their lawn or has an...

You can buy salt at Home Depot or Lowe's. 13,500 isn't going to take all that many bags to start it up. Just read the directions on the bag to calculate how much. I've worked with all three major brands of equipment over the years, I highly prefer Jandy. Easy to work on/repair and reliable...

Go to Surfside if you want to hit the beach a little water is way better than Galveston. It's a half hour south of Galveston. Rent a side by side and drive on the beach. Weather is hit or miss that time of year, you might get sunny and 70's or cloudy, windy and 40's.

That's the one sticking up out of the tanning ledge. Variable speed pump so it runs at low, gentle speed and Foler speed.

Five returns, which is standard on every pool. One cleaner line, also standard. The other two or three pipes will be the nicheless lights. *Every pool also gets an auto fill/overflow. So every single pool we do will have 7 pipes in the walls minimum. When we get ready for plaster they are cut...

Wow, I wish I could dig in soil like that. The guys can really make some precise cuts in that red clay. Looks like they did a nice job. The way they braced the form board spanning the access ramp is weird but there always 5 different ways to do something. Congrats man.

Yes. Kinda. We have a couple custom home builders that will send their homeowners our way if they are wanting a house/pool combo from the get go. We even had a home builder team up with us for a model home/pool build that got featured in a local DFW magazine. Couple years later one of our...

I'm not quite sure I understand the question bro. I only do new construction, custom builds. We have another builder on staff that does renovations but we don't have any kind of pre-fabbed packages. Every project is designed from the ground up to fit the customer's needs and budget.

Day 5 - finish out the plumbing. Now that we have gunite in I can safely release the plumbers to dig their ditches and set the equipment. Once all the plumbing is in place the plumbers will pressurize all the lines with water at the equipment, about 30 psi. This allows us to detect leaks. As...

Day 4 - Gunite I didn't get any pics of the guys shooting the gunite since it was a busy day and I wasn't able to get over there until late. I'll get pics of the setup at my next one hopefully. Basically you have a compressor truck with rolls of 6" hose and feeder trucks with the material...
