    @Hook_emHornsfan_74 Stunning setting and pool, Question what kind of root system do those monsters have?thinking along the lines of your pool
    Palm trees are actually favorable near pools and patios because their root system is not as damaging as some other types of trees. I used to be a pool cleaner and saw a lot of other trees near pools/decks do damage while big palms were not an issue and in many poolside planters here in So Cal. 

    Not saying they can’t cause an issue, just not as bad as some others and definitely a popular choice for that very reason.

    @johnmitchell we had a leak about 5 years ago where one of the roots made its way to the hot tub lines. Jen we had it fixed, the reinforced the whole hot tub area with more concrete.  We aren’t sure if it was their roots since a palms roots are a ball. Could have been the Burfurd (spelling) tree in the corner. 
    @johnmitchell asked the same question I was wondering.  Here on the utard benches, when a tree blows over the entire root system pulls out of the sandy soil, and one of those behemoths blowing over would wreck the surrounding houses, and definitely drain the pool.  
    Since the root systems for those is more of a ball, and assuming the soil is more clay-like (as in Sacramento where I got to try to pull weeds an entire weekend during boot camp) maybe those aren't as dangerous as they look.
     
    And when they do die, how do they decompose?  Do they ever fall over?

    @Botch hopefully we won’t live here when they die. lol. We thought we lost them one winter when it got down to like 3°. Was touch and go for about a month or so. We had our retaining wall replaced about 5 years ago and we were terrified they would fall and hit the neighbors house. Luckily they didn’t fall.

    Reading that the Washington Redskins will be renamed Monday. Wonder what they picked. "Warriors" seems to be in the lead.

    I hit a few surfaces with my IR thermometer just now (2:30 PM). I submit that it is flippin hot y’all. Ambient air temp reads 106 at the moment. Note that all of these are in the shade. 
    This is the exterior of my wood oven.

     @Sea2Ski sadly no. We just have the solar lights for now. Plus the light strands. I would eventually like to do something like that. This is what it looks like at night. 
    I would not use the word “sadly”. Still looks fantastic.

    @SciAggie I am quite sure that you will find a way to Texas 'heat" cold smoke something given your environment.  Go forth and do great things... B)

    @lkapigian apologize for being too lazy to go find your original post on the finished cut you just shared, but what cut is this?  Looks amazing, here I was all proud I just cured my first bacon a couple weeks ago and this stuff you are cranking out is awesome.  Thanks for continuing to share what you are making.

    Just now hearing that Grant Imahara died suddenly yesterday of a brain aneurysm. He was 49 years old.
    I've always enjoyed his work on Mythbusters and his other projects. A real shame to have lost him so young.
