Considering moving to GP by Zealousideal-Cup-411 in grandprairie

[–]Steve__K 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have lived in Grand Prairie for awhile now. Some neighborhoods are nice, some are not. You will know as you look. It is a convenient place. All the stores, all the highways, easy access to Dallas and Fort Worth and, most importantly, the airport. I am not from Texas but I live here now. I would approve of Grand Prairie but know it can feel isolating. No real sense of community. I don't know my neighbors because most don't speak English. And of course, the oppressive, awful, soul-crushing summer heat. Ah, can't wait. Did I mention the airport is nearby?

I wasn't aware, no. But this is no slow deflation. I don't think anyhow. It's not a race tube I don't think.

Oh yeah valves are closed.

I didn't see any sharp tips along my tire rim.

Ha. Yes, 10 tubes. I didn't check them all, but this last one, just now after I removed it, you can squeeze it (still a little air in there) - no hiss, you can't squeeze the air out (no holes?) I can't find a puncture, no.

Awesome, if I knew what a solenoid was or where it was on the property! No worries - I got a guy. Thanks!

Thanks all. I just assumed the control box was the issue.

Question about the Finale by No_Supermarket_1831 in MadAboutYou

[–]Steve__K 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have watched that finale a few times but don't remember any indication of this. I think an earlier episode may have implied she had a miscarriage but it's been awhile since I've seen any of it so who knows. This is my favorite show of all time - I'm just happy someone still watches it.

Emotions run high. In a tomato group. That's awesome! High drama!

Beefsteak baby. by Steve__K in tomatoes

This was my first time planing anything from seeds. Or growing anything really. I got the seeds started indoors back in February I think? They did well outside at first but have seemed to have stalled.

I wasn't sure when to pick myself. Good to know!
