Close, 5.65, which amusingly is the same pH as rain water...if I can read. reminds me of the acid rain bit on The Simpsons (the flashback episode where Homer quits his job and starts working at the bowling alley)

if you're worried about it you can get some pH test strips for a few bucks; I don't think it would register less than 5.5 (about the same as coffee) or so though (Soda is around 2.5-3 IIRC)

Why? CO2 doesn't degrade anything that I know of. Dissolving carbon dioxide gas into water produces slight levels of carbonic acid as a byproduct

which is fine by me when it comes to protecting the wildlife; alcohol notsomuch

There are places to camp that don't?? All state parks, pretty much. I want to go somewhere with some cool sites and allows beer. Seems you get one or the other.... They don't actually check that at state parks there do they? I honestly wouldn't put it past them; Texas Parks & Wildlife officials are anal retentive+++

now, if there's a decently appointed cabin or RV involved, sure I'll do that sleeping bags and tents and shittin' in the woods? eh, not so much

Carbonated water is only negligibly worse for your teeth than plain water

I don't camp; I got better things to do than spend time pretending I'm homeless

finished Band of Brothers two words: god. damn.

oh yeah; thanks for reminding me *updates post*

drywall finisher is done; did a fantastic job and now the room is ready for primer

Hutchinson threw in the towel with less than 20% of the precincts reporting so unless Bill White pulls a rabbit out of his ass, we're stuck with Perry for another 4 years oh and separation of church and state? yeah that's basically out the window in the state of Texas now thanks you, you bunch of butt fucking sons of bitches

spritz with a bottle sprayer, scrape, repeat ad nauseum just enough to to moisten the texture, not enough to soak the entire piece of drywall

meh, the stucco finish texture he did looks great

Bill White won the Democratic primary, still no word on the Republican

gas is on finally

texture has been applied to the den walls, looks AMAZING still no gas yeeeeeeah

City inspector approved now to hook up the meter and water heater
