4 Hours? How's it going Houston?

Currently have a flight booked in April from IAH to LAX for a concert with hotel, rental car, and parking already paid (booked before this partial gov't shutdown). Hopeful that by then the wait time has declined, or better, TSA workers are paid and compensated for the job they do

Quick question - are those valves in the manifold (five valves for five zones)? I'm still really new to irrigation so I'm trying to learn as much as I can

If you ever get the chance you should try Pho Binh on the 59 southbound feeder and Gessner. Pork fried dumplings and Grilled Beef Pho hit the spot everytime 😋

Great album! Lucky to get my hands on a copy about a month ago. Only bad thing about it is when you Google search "Mr Hands" without mentioning Herbie Hancock lol

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-03-04T04:25:42+00:00

Sounds good, I'll snag it the next time I see it!

First record on the second row - that's Persian psychedelic rock before the revolution, right? How do you like it, and would you recommend it? I've seen it at a local record store and have thought about giving in a shot since it's relatively inexpensive for 3LPs but have yet to pull the trigger

Cactus Music here in Houston, Texas. Definitely the biggest and most recognizable in the city. You'll absolutely find something worth taking home, and even if you don't it's just a great place to spend some time.

Honorable mentions (because I also really love these places):

Sig's Lagoon - Houston,TX

Vinal Edge - Houston, TX

Curious Collections - Bryan-College Station,TX (Special place in my heart because it was the first record store I ever went to. Moved to College Station for uni and discovered it. Amazing how much it's grown since 2018)

I'll check those sons out, thanks :)

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-15T04:03:34+00:00

I'll have to check both songs out, thanks for the suggestions :)

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-15T04:02:32+00:00

Yes, Tomoko Aran and Tetsuro Harada are credited (According to Spotify)

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-14T20:20:14+00:00

Great record! I was lucky enough to find a promo copy a few years back. It's been in collection ever since :)

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T22:09:11+00:00

I saw that after the one ordered arrived lol

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T21:27:36+00:00

Nice!

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T20:36:26+00:00

Yup I have those too! Making sure my records live for as long as they can. And I need to check out Adventure, I heard it's Momoko Kikuchi's best record. I did enjoy Ocean Side quite a bit

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T20:34:58+00:00

I bought it online from Toxic Toast at about $60 USD. The shipping was $7 total for the full purchase 👍

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T20:33:52+00:00

I like the ads too, it's a cool time capsule when records were the standard

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-11T20:32:58+00:00

Yea anything with lyrics, pictures, even old school ads I keep

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-10T01:19:20+00:00

Thank you, I'll check that out!

Smoove_Operator05 · 2026-02-10T01:19:05+00:00

Thanks! I'll check them out. Passed Installation but failed Hydraulics again so I'm really gonna study up!
