DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

I normally don't care much for gas station coffee but this shit is damn good.

 

I’ve only ever bought 2, maybe 3, but I have something like 10 of them. I used to work as a security officer at my college back in the early 2000’s and we would find them left everywhere. So, I accumulated a bunch. Suckers never wear out...

Wish I could hook you up... You doing ok?

 

Same! Haha

 

yup hangin in there so far, really missing my tv but ill make it

 

Good Morning Fellas
How y’all making it this morning

 

staying warm but 48 hrs without power now and 3rd day of not being able to get any work done

LTE on my Verizon phone seemed to return to normal yesterday afternoon so thats been helpful for entertainment

food and drink supplies are fine, have a few days left of clean laundry

both cars still over 3/4 tank full

my sanity is almost depleted however

 

Hang in there. Looks like the weather is past us now.

 

Pro tip: boil water ahead of time and freeze it for later

 

Got a few more inches around here and the houses around all have snow on the roofs

 

Happy Third Monday.
Water main issues through the night, low flow is still a problem. Power was intermittent all night. Kept a heating pad plugged into a solar generator and was quite warm with that going.
Kept cold water dripping all night and that was ok, but when I was checking through the night the hot water was starting to freeze up so I ran that a few times.
Food and supplies are ok, lots of ice on the roadways around us currently.
Hope everybody is doing ok.

 

I have two teenagers that seem to wander off with mine, which I will find somewhere after I buy replacements. That's part of how I ended up with so many. I also used to drive a jeep and would stash them in there during the summer.

 

Do you need anything?

 

you got any extra electricity?

i made it to a vape shop this morning im good for a few more days

 

Everyone still good-ish?

 

If I did I would wheel it over to you; that said, mine is currently off.
Just got off the Dallas OEM call. Short version: demand continues to remain constant (too much for current generating capacity), if it gets above 20* peeker plants may be able to come on without tripping off, it will be Friday before the temp is expected to be above 32* and that won't be until 1500, and it won't be until Friday before anybody will have a realistic prediction.
Recommendations are to go somewhere where there is power if you have not had any power for the last few days if you can, if you have intermittent power and are able to tolerate conditions remain where you are, and if you have power consider sheltering others and/or becoming a neighborhood warming station.

 

Went down to the boat ramp this morning.

 

College towns are thriving right now. Best time of my life even though I have no water, power, or wifi

 

Anybody in the Rockwall area that can report on roads?

 

The pictures I just posted were of the boat ramp near the Tom Thumb in Heath. Roads are mostly covered in snow with some spots icy. I was 4hi the whole time and had no issues.
