Schiit Happened: The Story of the World's Most Improbable Start-Up

[Festive56]

Sweatpants day in Vacationland. Showers and patchy fog, high of 54.

Wearing shorts, sitting in the sun on the deck, only 49° F presently, but it is very quiet except for the birdsong--from the silence it appears most of the neighbors went to the lake or camping this weekend--and it feels lovely, a bit bracing after a sleepless night. I'd snap of photo but, despite being on a week-long vacation to sunny climes, my legs remain so alabaster white that I fear the reflection would blind the fine folks on this forum.

Supposed to be sunny all day today with a high of 65 and nice all weekend. I just might need to properly clean the pellet grill today and smoke a pork butt tomorrow.

Here's to a pleasant Saturday for all.

How about a Yoko Ono and David Lee Roth duet?

Nice! How many watts per gallon? I had a 135 gallon before LEDs back in the day….And getting that 6 foot tank sealed the deal with my now- wife, as I was shopping for a 75 gallon to stock the house we were moving into, and she was the one the brought up going all-in for the 6 footer.

Life has gotten too complicated in the immediate gratification and tik tok era - so having slower interests like fish and music really resonate with me now.

I'm not sure, I think the light unit is 100W, but I run it at around 88%. If I up the CO2, I might push the light up, but it gets too bright for the fish. I also do a daylight/dusk ramp, so it only hits that for around 6 hours a day. I did work out the PAR at one point but can't remember, it's been stable for a while.

5:50am is a totally normal time to be at work, right?
Asking for a friend…

Every day, that way I can go home at 2:30 and beat the traffic.

The algorithm let me know there’s a new James McMurtry coming out next month.

What a songwriter.

There’s a tendency for Austin types to bemoan the way the city has changed over time. I’m usually agnostic about it. Growth brings change, some good, some less good, some flat bad, but growth always seems a better choice, to me, than inertia. The 20+ years I’ve been here have seen a lot of change.

But I will say that hearing new McMurtry makes my a wee bit nostalgic for my (affordable) rental house that was a short walk from the Continental Club, when the tickets to his Sunday night residency were beer money and the Lonestars plus a nice tip gave you change on a five.

That sounds cool. I love Austin, I visited there and the area west towards San Antonio several times over the years. On my last visit the traffic was getting a bit intimidating compared to home (2 vehicles have gone by this morning) . I've seen a couple McMurtry shows at clubs in Omaha and Sioux City. Both great shows.

After decades of getting up by 0500 to start my workday I wonder how long it will take for my mental alarm clock to let me sleep longer? It felt like a victory this morning waking up at 0535.

Give it 3 weeks or so. And you can stay up later now, too.

The traffic is insane, but that’s sort of what happens when the basic infrastructure was designed for about 500,000 people and 2.5 million of us live in the metro area.

10 feet below ground, in most temperate areas around the globe, the temperature is 55-58F year around, Barring flood areas, we should be thinking about subterranean living. It's much cheaper to regulate a constant 58F than swings of -5 to +105.

How about Geothermal HVAC instead?
All the ducts/plumbing are buried deep into the soil.

Cheap to operate, but not to install. Usually requires a larger yard too.
It's beyond my pay scale at this point, so we planted numerous shade trees instead. I'm pretty sure that most HOA's would not approve of our yard.

Happy Saturday (or Sunday if applicable)!!

We move in next week to a rental in NW, top of the hill. Seems very pleasant!

Now to get our possessions back .....

That's a nice area, you should enjoy it up there.
