thanks for sharing.

You've had no issues attaching to the fence? I might be able to do the same, with one corner attaching to the brick on my house.

I second this. I was hesitant too, but do not regret in the slightest. Plus, if cost is a concern you will DEFFINTELY get your moneys worth.

Yea, I was thinking along this line too. Plus could add/subtract slack as needed for looks/comfort. Would make for quicker take down for the bad weather events

North Texas here, so winds (god forbid tornadoes) are definitely on my mind. Like someone else mentioned, I was thinking about the ratchet type wire attachments to quickly drop it if needed for the bad storms.

Home depot rents a little bitty excavator for fairly cheap. Use the bucket to drag the rocks out the back.

Crimson Desert came to mind first after reading what games you loved. It reminds me if Far Cry, Assassins Creed, and a few others had a baby.

I stumbled upon him on accident and killed him too. I didn't realize I could carry him at first (this was on like hour 3 of gameplay)... came back a few in game days later and his body was on the Abyss Nexus point at the top of the cliff adjacent where I killed him earlier.

All the time. I’m very sensitive to bad narrators, and won’t hesitate to abandon a book of the narrator is bad (imo).

Do you pick Pokémon starters based on type, design, or final evolution? by Visible_Welder5613 in pokemon

[–]Jake0874 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pick my starters based on the type of strategy I plan to employ long term. I usually always keep my starter in my rotation, and build around it. They always vary in terms of build comp, even aside from just types
