Yes, it is totally unnecessary.. but I keep thinking I would have probably run the generator the same way, so maybe this happening will help save so people in the future..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
Hopefully they haven't lost power and are doing well...by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
Pipes are gonna be busted all over the state when it warms up.. the new-fangled way of fixing slab leaks (for those that don't know, slab leaks are busted pipes below the slab) is not to bust out the concrete and patch the hole, but re-run the pipes through the attic.. well, as we all know, there is no heat in most attics, so pipes will be busted in attics everywhere.. and since its in the attic,by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
I know how to fix a busted pipe, so if we have any, probably will try to tackle it myself - because you know plumbers will be booked for weeks.. the rolling blackouts here lasted over 48 hours for some people.. houses down to 33 degrees - saw pics of their thermometer.. ridiculous.. but, I cannot complain as we haven't lost power yet..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
They announce rolling blackouts will begin again today, so here we go again.. light snow was in the forecast last night, but the sun is out right now.. I spent 2 hours shoveling 2 feet of snow - with a garden shovel - off of one side of the driveway last night so my wife could get her car in the garage.. But on the other hand, I woke up this morning with a cool melody in my head and just workby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
It does stink.. they just announced that more rolling blackouts will start tomorrow.. meaning they STILL haven't figured it out and more people will end up dying..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
This should come as no surprise. The Rams are trying to open up cap space and by trading Havenstein, the team would save $7.8M. Havenstein would make sense for the Bengals who are coached by former Rams offensive coordinator Zac Taylor. The Bengals could us offensive line help. If the Ravens trade Orlando Brown, that is a team that would also make sense as a suitor for Havenstein. If the Rby sstrams - RamsFootballFans.com

I think I'm through the shock and depression and now I'm just getting mad.. so unnecessary for this to have happened.. and its happening all over the state.. thank you, again..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
But have heard of other things nicknamed that.. :lolby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
which is highly exciting, considering how cold its been lately.. My wife has been staying at her moms house, helping keep an eye on all her grandkids, so I've got the house to myself - with the 3 Beagles, of course.. So, the last two nights, all three of them have plopped themselves ON TOP on me in bed.. I can't move an inch.. Yesterday morning, I woke up with Hatfield, the largest of the threby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
I'm thinking you meant cube steak, but the subliminal force is great with you.. you cannot be denied your true intentions.. ..and, yes, I'm sure you shocked the hell out of your tub.. ..but seriously, you'v enever heard the expression shocking the tub?by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
Just some amazing footage and it all goes so well with the song.. If your intent is to tug at some heart strings and get people to get off their butts and donate to help the dogs, then I think you are on the right path.. I don't know what your end clip(s) will be, but if it/they have the same vibe and feel-good quality, I think you'll be successful.. I am not sure how people would donate or how tby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
so, I dunno what happened, for sure.. CO has no smell, so I'm sure they weren't even aware of the issue, although cops who entered the house said it smelled of exhaust, or something.. As I said, I ordered a generator yesterday and probably would have run it the same way - on the back patio with extension cords coming in the door.. may need to rethink that.. One thing, tho, I dunno if they werby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
Yeah, its a real mess here, isn't it? Hopefully you didn't lose power.. we still are spotty with water..a s long as I get my daily shower in, that's all I ask..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub

Not only that, but they didn't purchase proper equipment to keep their green energy windmills running in artic temps because they thought it was a waste of money.. you know, global warming being as bad as it is, and all.. and from what I read, the major energy producer sold all the surplus to northern states at cheap rates, who are now selling it back to us at premium, hyper-inflated rates..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
His dad is currently in ICU in critical condition.. From what I understand, they ran the generator on the backyard patio, but left the back door open, or cracked, or something and the fumes came inside.. My guess is they were running the generator outside and had extension cords plugged into it that were leading into the house through the back door, which had to be cracked to allow the extensionby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
I posted about my friend's passing on facebook and I'm hearing about a whole bunch of other people going through the same thing now, in Texas.. we're not used to massive snow storms and losing power and people are doing what they can to survive, but making simple, yet deadly, mistakes..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
that can come from this is to warn others that its a distinct possibility.. two grown men made the same mistake, without even knowing what was happening to them.. Hopefully people will see that and be more careful.. ..and the real kicker is that I ordered a generator yesterday...by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
yesterday from carbon monoxide poisoning from running a generator without adequate ventilation.. Assuming they had been out of power for 30 plus hours and were trying to stay warm and made a horrible mistake.. I graduated with him - he just retired last week.. I know most people here are not in Texas dealing with this ridiculous loss of power issue, but just be careful if you run a generator..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
I checked my original post and it said hot tub.. So, waterfield, get your mind outta the gutter lolby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
I have regular large shovels and have used them to shovel snow once when our driveway was 3 feet deep, but it takes forever.. I dunno if they even sell snow shovels here.. if they do, I've never seen one on a shelf...by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
that sound smore like a porno lol.. hopefully I didn't typo that, but I'm notorious for making pretty hilarious typos.. that would be an all-time great.. As Drew mentioned, I really meant to say shock the hot tub.. adding chlorine to kill all the bad stuff that tends to grow in warm water.. you shock it every week.. you shock pools, as well..

We're two feet under snow right now.. our courtyard is at least 3 feet deep.. hope you have power.. most of my friends STILL don't, after 40 hours.. I've seen their thermostats in there houses at 35 degrees.. gonna be a buttload of busted pipes when it warms up.. am afraid we'll have two, as well..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
about dropping the whole season at once, is that you end up binge watching it ll in two nights and then you hafta wait forever for the next season.. but, I also like being able to watch at my own speed..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub

I'd KILL for a basement.. we have a slab with absolutely nothing underneath it.. so, when we get a leak, its a slab leak and it sucks big time.. But, I WOULD kill for a basement.. that'd be my man cave..by sstrams - Bucky's Pub
Both outside faucets are hooked up to hoses.. both hoses have spray guns on them.. both valves on the faucet are open.. meaning one of two things: 1.) either everything is gonna blow up when it thaws.. 2.) everything will be fine because the valves were open - but the hoses and/or guns will probably be shot.. Don't ask me how it got left like that.. snow and freezing weather came quick - fby sstrams - Bucky's Pub
