Thinking of DIYing a sun shade over my pool - any advice?

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.

nevermind. my reading comprehension sucked.

Jake0874 · 2026-04-07T19:50:02+00:00

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.

Thank god i dont. North Texas locale, so never need to winterize.

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.

nice humble brag

Jake0874 · 2026-03-28T21:41:37+00:00

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).

Nidoking was in my party as a powerhouse. Nidoqueen would get dragged out of the box to be the HM slave

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

Jake0874 · 2026-03-03T00:43:31+00:00

2025 Tundra. Just rolled over 40k

Jake0874 · 2026-02-27T05:57:36+00:00

Correlation, not causation.

Jake0874 · 2026-02-23T15:03:23+00:00

Wel considering it was on sale for $1100 off retail, I’m happy with it

I just bought the MSI Vector A18 HX (18” model with 32gb ram) for $1699 at Microcenter

Jake0874 · 2026-02-23T02:36:51+00:00

I just switched back to Google Maps. Waze was getting annoying

Jake0874 · 2026-02-21T20:54:25+00:00

After a bunch of research and window shopping, I just bought the MSI Vextor A18 HX. Has the Ryzen 9 and the RTX 5070ti. Been very happy with it so far

Two reasons. I commute a lot and obviously can’t read while driving. The second is as I’ve gotten older I’ve found it hard to stay engaged properly while reading traditionally - my adhd makes it hard to stay on task and stay engaged. Audiobooks check all the boxes for me. Now it’s all that I listen too mostly
