Weird Vehicle Traveling by the weather station and Chili’s

April 26th, 2011

Tornado Tracker Vehicle perhaps?
My brother was able to get a good picture of this weird looking vehicle driving through Tyler Texas. It isn’t a hummer but looking at the weird pipes sticking out of it I would say maybe it is a storm chaser vehicle that chases tornado’s?

There is also a 360 window view at the top of it but I can’t seem to find any holes for a military gun which makes me think it is a storm chaser?

I really have no clue what it is but does look like a mixture between a dually truck and a hummer of some kind but the answer still alludes me.

Later on during the day Tyler Texas and surrounding areas were deluged with quite a few tornados. Tyler Junior College (TJC) had several buildings destroyed by a tornado and UT Tyler was hit too.

Oakhurst Golf Course in Tyler TX

March 22nd, 2011

Oakhurst Golf Course
Oakhurst Golf Course is a non-membership golf course in Tyler TX. The clothing requirements are no jeans although shorts and slacks are allowed and a collared shirt.

The course is groomed and laid out well. They have enough golf carts for several large parties. The difficulty level is about medium with a good selection of holes with water and sand traps. I thought the management were professional and courteous and the bar and grill offered beers, drinks, snacks and food.

I look forward to going back to this clean professionally run golf course off Hwy 69 in Tyler Texas.

Great Service And Low Prices At The Tire Barn

January 8th, 2010

They say that cars are character builders, and I can personally attest to the truth of this statement. And even though its not a major repair, a blowout can still set you back a pretty penny.

The Tire Barn, located just off thirty one, behind the what used to be the Goodyear plant, is sort of an open secret in Tyler. They offer a complete list of maintenance services for your car’s tires, including tire rotation, plugging holes, etc. If the tire is damaged beyond repair, they keep an inventory of used tires.

The prices at the Tire Barn are very low and the employees are honest, and very helpful. So if you’re in need of some tire maintenance and or a repair, and if you want to save some coin; try this local business. You can’t beat their services or their prices.

Septic Companies in Tyler Texas

December 3rd, 2009

You can reach our preferred Texas certified Septic Company in Tyler Texas by calling Evan Watson Dirt Works – 903-360-2513

When hiring a Septic company in Tyler Texas to assist with a possible flooding of your tank and or house there are a couple pointers I would like to pass along. Usually when you start getting a back up in your house and possibly water flooding on your floors it is related to a combination of a clogged drain line in your yard, a night of raining, and an early morning shower and a couple of toilet flushes. If your drain line is clogged, you have rain water puddling on top of that drain line and you just took a long shower you may start to see water coming into your house from the bottom of the toilet, out of the bathtub, and who really knows all where it may be leaking out of. You want to put a quick end to this nightmare.

You will want to hire a septic company to come out and pump the water out of your tank. This will not solve your problem but will allow you to use your toilet and showers again provided another rain does not come. You will need to get to the root of the issue which are the drain lines. The drain lines many times are large PVC pipe with holes that come out at a slight angle downwards into the ground. They are usually built into a square with a cross of PVC in the middle. This type of setup allows for several drain lines to become clogged while still allowing water to flow in some of the drain lines that are working.

In my situation all of the drain lines seem to be clogged because no matter what I do water still some into the house. Many times a worker from a septic company will let you know if something needs to be done about your clogged drain line or the house flooding will continue. They will work off the clock to work and repair your septic. Because there are EPA guidelines to fix and construct a proper septic drain line the septic pump company will usually just be licensed to pump the tank but not construct a septic system. That is why many times in rural areas you have a hodgepodge of septic creations in the ground going into hay bails, a pile of rocks in the ground and so on. These type of setups sometimes work for awhile, not at all, or they just might do the trick.

You can hire someone off the clock to make your septic system work that may not be certified to do this type of thing but we do not recommend it. You may only pay $400 instead of $4000 but you may end up having to do it all over again the correct way. Instead we recommend that you hire a good quality septic company in Tyler Texas that has an EPA license and can build you a septic system that will last for years.
