I understand this is going out to the .0001% of this community but I'm not sure where to go. Facebook groups is a fucking zoo.

I have a 40 year old brass radiator for a classic car I need re-cored and re-sealed. Buying a new brass radiator is cost prohibitive. I've called around and no shop is doing this. Next up is brushing up my Spanish speaking skills and calling around 45N.

Any chance someone knows a place? Sorry for the nuanced post. Thanks.

Every time metro bills come up in election, I generally vote in favor. I don't use public transit personally but I like that our city has park and ride and I would like to see more public transit here.

However, all we seem to get it highway expansion. So... When I vote for metro, am I voting for expansion or do they just squander funds?

I'm a mid 30s male who has been on blood pressure medication for 3 years or so. Should have been on it earlier as high blood pressure has been in my life for awhile and I disregarded it.

I went to a cardiologist from Memorial and the tests they wanted to run were honestly cost prohibitive. I can't recall which tests at what price but it was in the thousands.

I'm not sure what all needs to be done.. ECG, EKG, Echocardiogram.. But at this stage I don't think I can keep sleeping on it since every so often I just feel like something is off (infrequent small chest pains which sounds crazy writing this out but I've been able to live my life fine).

Any recommendations on an affordable cardiologist or maybe someone who has gone through this?

I have clover in some spots that grows in some areas and not others. I think it gives great ground cover and seems to grow symbiotically with St Augustin.

My front yard has a ton of dead patches and a rag tag of weeds. I'd like to plant a clover that will grow and stay until the St Augustine can really take foot . I've tried micro clover, red clover.. But nothing sticks. I'm also not interested in resodding and planting grass that needs frequent watering. My backyard just grows and needs very infrequent watering. My front yard is a totally different story.

What is the clover that grows like a weed down here and how can I plant it?

Is there a site or resource with pictures and a good description on the behaviors of native Texas trees?

We lost an oak in a prominent space of the yard and I want to be thoughtful of what goes in its place.

Ideally not another oak because I'm tired of bagging leaves each week for 2 months.

I want to avoid Lowes, Best Buy, etc. at all costs. ideally a local shop that can provide a good working fridge for a low price. Something inside the loop or just outside, at the north side, is most ideal. Someone that could deliver.

I would usually go to CL on this but I don't have access to a truck in short enough time to pick up a fridge.

I gotta rant. I agree that Houston needs more affordable housing and not everyone wants to live 100 miles outside the city to find an affordable home.

But I'm sick of larger lots being bought up by builders and filled to the brim with houses. Large quarter acre lots that had ONE dwelling and ONE garage now hold 6-8 townhomes.

That's 6-8 homes with families where the average family has 2 cars spilling out on the streets that werent designed to be parking lots. Driving through small roads with less traffic management mechanisms (4 way stops or lights needed when they werent, etc)

That's 6-8 homes covering up a quarter acre with cement and shingles, dumping water onto the roads.

That's 6-8 homes tapping into the same 40-60 year old sewage system.

Now I don't know build code and I could be misinformed, I just don't think many neighborhoods were designed for this new model of housing and it's ruined my neighhood specifically but I know it's ruining others.

However, I feel like the city is perfectly happy to get 6-8x the income through property taxes but not happy enough to upgrade the Infrastructure.

Further it kinda pisses me off instead of sacrificing a home or two to allow guest parking builders just have residences use these narrow streets.

It's getting fucking old and yea I guess just let me have my 'old guy yells at cloud' moment I guess.
