Indeed. Not a day goes by when I open my tap and drink the water and think how fucking lucky I am.

What a marvel.

We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

The solution to water shortage? The Trencor 1860HD is the largest rock trencher ever built. Only 9 such machines exist, with six in Texas now. The last unit built in operation near Breckenridge Texas trenching for a huge water supply project. This unit was cutting solid limestone 7 feet wide and 10 feet deep. The machine has a 1,250 hp Cat 3512 to power the digging chain and a 3306 to power the hydraulic system. It weighs about 220 tons. The power and size is incredible.

Let the fairways dry out. You get an extra 30 yards on a drive.

A perfect size for a "measured dose".

Does it say the dose is to be taken orally or anally?

Do the stage 3 water restrictions affect me at all? I mean I washed my truck today, and my garden. I even watered my worm farm.

Can't wash cars. Can't water lawns. Can water plants with a container or a hose that has a nozzle that turns off the floor if not handled. No soaking hoses.
