Texas Weather Thread

[weevilcatch]

I'll take a summer in Texas all day, everyday and twice on Sunday. No Mexican food or beer up there. No decent BBQ and I'd probably have a blower digging out of the snow. Plus I come from a long line of tropical people....

I wasn’t with you at first and then you brought up BBQ and Mexican food.

Wait.... did @homeNaway delete his post?

Why?
Was he not proud of it? Is he ashamed of the fact that he believes that global warming is 100% man made?

Classic lol

So I work for an international O&G technology company. Our CEO is described as the Elon Musk of Argentina. I know, laughable, but the dude is one sharp cat. During our weekly exec call this morning he spent 20 minutes talking about the reason for the current worldwide temp spikes is a volcano (he didn’t elaborate) has recently released millions of tons of moisture into the atmosphere causing the heat wave, and interestingly, in particular, South America, where temps have reached over 100 deg during the middle of their current winter season.

I haven’t done my own research yet. What say some of you smart scientist types out there? What do the libs on the board have to say? Is this the end of the world because we haven’t used enough windmills or EVs?

interesting that the founder of Greenpeace has said that the windmills are a looming environmental disaster waiting to happen. He advocates natural gas and......wait for it.....nuclear power for our power plants going forward.

It has not made him a favorite with the "go green" crowd!

as an up note....when the blades on the windmills break or end useful life, it is my understanding that they are in no way recyclable. What do you do with em?....drop em into volcanoes?

So the effects from that eruption is believed to last a few years. I bet scientists and politicians know this but will still blame it on man because they can't regulate volcanoes.

Everyday I get in my car after work and everyday I say WTF!

The sorry dirt we have all over the state of Texas my ground is starting to crack so I guess I better start watering every other day. Was just in Oklahoma this past weekend and it's green over there ugly red dirt everywhere and it stormed with high winds. Then I come back to Texas with heat.

They are not able to be recycled. They will degrade/decay in something like 3000 years. Now, there are companies out there that are saying they can recycle the blades. But the reality is there's only a small portion of the blade that can be recycled--- but they make it sound like they're doing the ENTIRE blade. They aren't. It's a lie.

Clob, they are currently cutting themup(crappy hard to do job) and putting them in landfills. They can use a tiny bit of them ground up and mixed with cement. The crap is too light to use as backfill or road fill.

So there I was, at the table, when the contrst was fixin to start and who sits down next to me? Ol' Lucifer hisself."

The only story you could tell about the Devil fartimg in your face that would make sense to me.
😀

Lajitas is not across the border. Do you mean Boquillas?

This is what happens to the broken, used, disposed blades.

My NASA rocket scientist bro-in-law says the same things. And he has access to a lot of info not available to the general public.

Just here to confirm it's still hot as hell. We're breaking records and not the good kind.
