Re: I’m not buying this

 Fox4 Dallas just an article and I keep seeing commercials that say the number one cause of death in children under the 18 is guns… Not car wrecks Not cancer But guns They also showed some those gelatin bars you shoot in and according to them a bb caliber travels half the distance of a 9mm…. Said they can’t compare an AR cause it blows everything up… I wonder what Mdumbfook will say about this!

Anybody with an empty back deck able to take two veterans out Saturday? Within an hour of DFW anywhere
BassinSoldier
1 hour ago
Son and I are trying to get off the bank this weekend. He and I are both Army vets, combat here with 3 tours in Iraq, he only did 3 years in S. Korea but still, can’t be perfect haha. Anyhow, if anybody is heading out on any of the lakes within an hour of DFW and ya have an empty back deck we’d gladly pay for lunch and gas. Been trying to make new fishing buddies in the area since I moved here … EXPAND ▼ anyways. We live in waxahachie and moved here from FL. Sold my boat to help with moving expenses and regretted it ever since. Pond hopping was fun in FL, not so much here. Everything is private that’s any good. Anyhow, hope to hear from y’all, and also if anybody knows of any good clubs with a co side in the Ellis county area I’d love to know also. Thanks y’all COLLAPSE ▲

Some things I used to take for granted

The Denny’s in Red Oak is a 24 hour restaurant. Normally We went today @ 4 pm, rolled right in like normal- No one up at the front like normal though- There were a few other folks eating already- Eventually a young server type nice young lady came up and said the kitchen was closed- It would have been nice if they could maybe hand a sign on the door or even lock the doors- I just asked “why” and she … EXPAND ▼ said she thinks to clean the kitchen “or something”-
Weird but ok, whatever-
I figured we just rolled in just after the only cook there walked out-
Times, they are a changing-
I would really hate to be responsible for keeping help in almost any retail or restaurant these days-
Much respect to those of you still battling this- COLLAPSE ▲

The best part is when you wee the next morning and its glow in the dark orange and smells like a dead goat A few years ago I started taking vitamin B. The first time I peed off the side of the boat and my urine was as chartreuse as my garlic Dip-N-Glo it caught me off guard.

It’s easy to say guns for under 18 when you don’t break the numbers down. How many of those in their teens where killed by a gun in the commission of a crime?

Re: Get Mega Live 2 or replace LVS34?

Awesome images! Is that factory out-of-the-box settings, or do you have to tweak all the setting like Livescope? Also, if I update and move my Solix G3 to the bow and my Solix G1 to the console, do I have to disconnect the G1 from the network hub? This would make the G1 a stand alone … EXPAND ▼Awesome images!

Also, if I update and move my Solix G3 to the bow and my Solix G1 to the console, do I have to disconnect the G1 from the network hub? This would make the G1 a stand alone unit, and it won't network with the Ultrex, right? Can I let my co-angler use the Garmin with my old LVS32 and I use the Humminbird Mega live 2 without interference? I am working out of state, so I won't even get my boat back on the water until around Christmas. I might see if anything new is released before upgrading. Thanks for the help! COLLAPSE ▲

So in other words he couldn’t end the deficit because he is not a politician and if he was he wouldn’t be able to get enough to pass said bill. Nice idea just wouldn’t happen.

Re: AC Replacement questions
Lakhota
2 hours ago
Short answer is no you do not have to replace both parts of your system at the same time ie condenser furnace/air handler. A furnace is a gas heat system an air handler is an electric heat system. Long answer if you do not replace both parts at the same time the system will not be as efficient more than likely. We are starting the phase out of 410A which your system more than likely is. The date … EXPAND ▼ for 410A units to be manufactured has passed so what is out there is what there is once it’s gone it’s gone. We will still be able to get a compressor, blower motor, or condenser motor for 410A systems five years from now.
There are two new refrigerants being used at this time Carrier, Lennox, and Trane went with 454B and Daikin went with R32 they are not enter changeable and they are both propane based. 454B is hard to come by right now from what I have heard it is running $1,545 a drum I don’t know about R32. The drums for all the old refrigerants were right hand threaded 454B is left hand threaded which requires an adapter for the drum and the service ports on the units will also be left hand threaded. The industry knew for at least two years that we were going to change refrigerant and didn’t get drums made for it! Don’t we look stupid!
There are four major AC manufacturers Carrier, Daikin, Lennox, and Trane. Daikin is the largest AC company in the word. Below are the lines from low end to top.
Carrier: Payne, Bryant, Carrier
Daikin: Goodman, Amana, Daikin
Lennox: Lennox, Allied is a Lennox made for someone other than Lennox to sell
Trane: Trane, American Standard is a Trane made for someone other than Trane to sell
COVID was the great reset since then the quality for everyone has gone down, parts are hard to get, and cost has gone UP. We have had times where parts are under warranty and not available maybe for six months. We have one unit that has been down for a year due to a part not being available. We just found the part on the internet since we couldn’t get it from the manufacturer. The units are becoming more complex therefore the parts cost more. In the past a PSC blower motor might cost us $150 and we would charge say $300. Now that blower motor is a ECM and cost us $350 or more. On the commercial side a lot of the units have a VFD (variable fan drive) everyone’s SUX and when they go bad they cost $1000 plus so we bypass it and rewire the unit and the customer never notices a difference in efficiency.
Carrier SUX, Lennox SUX, Trane SUX, Daikin SUX’s the hardest parts are extremely hard to get. So decided on what brand of SUX you want and go with it. The principal of how AC works is the same now matter what brand it is for the homeowner it’s what type of warranty is given.
I am in the Dallas area I do not do residential or side work. I have enough work to keep me busy (120 hrs the last two weeks). I don’t need any other headaches and I don’t like going into peoples homes mostly. People are strange, dirty homes, sex toys left out I can find all that at home if I want to. COLLAPSE ▲

Weird that it only has a 90. If you decide to re power I will give you $4500 for that motor. Older models had 75's, the most common engine on them now days is a 90 horse. So says ChatGPT. Can you hang a 350 on it?

All meals are symbolically religious in ancient (more than 4,000 years old) religions like Hinduism.
Hinduism is more of a way of life….it doesn’t carry the weight of we are right and you are wrong sort of things other religions seem to prioritize.

I find Hinduism quite interesting . I used to have a buddy back in day that was Thai and he dissapeared for a while and resurfaced he had took off to go be a monk . Give up all his worldly possessions and pray and do monk stuff . Just chasing the ultimate state of happiness. Went to a temple with him a couple times it was a culture shock but every body was laid back and very cool . I like there ideas and concepts . Nick, We aren't gonna loose you are we?
