They also sell a good 10 year Tawny port if you like port. It is made by Quinta, the same house that makes Taylor Fladgate. It is about $16. A 10 year Taylor is about $30. Good deal.

Today I learned the melting point of the heat shrink I have on the shelf is only about 200F

Today I learned I'm far more privileged than I acknowledge. I've been without water for only 2 days and I'm feeling like a drama queen. Others have been without it along with power or food for much longer. Maybe it's because I'm living off only espresso shots now, not sure?

My thoughts exactly. I mean, without getting too political, you can say those in less fortunate regions of town are having it much harder. But being in South Austin without water is awful. I can live without much food or limiting my water use, but having none really sucks.

I learned yesterday, very much the hard way, that you need to wear a filtration mask when cutting, routing, and sanding white oak. I'm still learning it today.

My parents used to fill the bathtub with water before a storm so we had water to flush the toilets too. We were on a well so no power=no water. Good luck, hope things get better soon. |

The house we own now has a small creek/river running through the backyard, about 100 yards from the house, and I have water purification equipment on hand. Our last house prior to this one had a dug well we could lower a bucket down into. BOTH places had/have frequent power outtages; we were without power for more than a week in the middle of February in one (where it got to -20F frequently). I KNOW you folks down in Texas are really suffering, and there's no way you could have expected this... I'm sorry and wish there was something I could do. Personally, I always have kerosene on hand for our center-draft oil lamps which provide plenty of light and some heat, wood on hand for our wood stove, four burners worth of alcohol stoves (yes, I love to cook), and water in the creek for flushing, bathing, and drinking after it's been purified. I actually look FORWARD to power outtages.... reminds of what's really important.
