I bought that 4080 Super video card and I might play a game once a month.
Me and my buddies that don’t live near me play for a few hours every Sunday night. Other than that it’s pretty sporadic. Mostly whenever my wife is catching up on a show or something.

I need to submit photos to insurance of my out buildings and the large carport that covers the Redneck Mobile Home Trailer Trash house. I have to trim the trees back first, it's gonna be a hot mofo down here today.

Only got a trace of rain from that system that everyone else got rain from. But it did cool the air by 10* degrees, so that's a plus.

These last 2 Live Oak trees near the 40x80 carport have been a mofo, forgot to take a before picture, I've been cutting on them for awhile. I have a few more limbs left at ~30ft plus height to get.

Sure would be nice to have an excavator to assist with trimming and cleanup.

Has anyone had a freezerless refrigerator before? I am shopping replacements and this is something my sammich maker and I have talked about before. Anything to watch out for? Like or disliked? We have a large standup freezer already.

Yes I got one from work for my mom. She has a stand alone freezer as well. She likes it because it's in the garage so it gets used for food storage for pool parties and drinks for the garage.

I think as a secondary fridge it would be awesome. Not so sure I would want one in the kitchen.

We had the floors professionally cleaned (steam and water brushed) today at our new farm house. The tile floors will need a fresh coat of sealant after 24 to 30hrs.

We plan on doing a lot of painting as well, especially that pink bedroom. The boys bedrooms and guest bedroom are all equal in size and have large walk-in closets.

@Anathollo any experience with sealants and preference for ceramic tile?

water based or solvent based tile sealant?

I used this stuff for my house. I did a bunch of research at the time and this was the highest rated.

Aqua Mix Sealer's Choice Gold - Pint​


There's no way it's going to last 15 years like the bottle claims but I'm hoping to get a few years out of it.

Ok great. Yeah I was leaning towards this product, I was reading up on some construction forums last night.

Thanks!

Amazon has upped its game in rural areas, if I place an order Tuesday through Thursday I can now get next day delivery.

I keep getting fucked up/used packages from Amazon. If the package I got today is messed up, I'm done using Amazon for items. I'll keep Prime for Prime Video and some other features we use but I'm sick of having to send stuff back and wait for replacements.

It’s here. The box was in just as bad of shape as the one it was replacing but at least this one had a working time inside of it. So I’ll consider it a win. But still probably not ordering from Amazon again for a while.

Dang, that sucks, never received a used item yet. It's a 22min/17mile drive to the nearest Walmart, McCoy's or Southerlands in Beeville. If I don't need the item right away, it just makes it too easy to have it delivered, sometimes wally world is cheaper, but thats atleast 3 days to get.
