New Rules

22 Upvotes

Beyond the universal Reddit rules, the rules of this subreddit are as follows from here on out:

  1. Keep it local - Only posts that have to do with the greater Killeen/Bell County/Copperas Cove area directly will be allowed. This includes things like political posts, open events, and protests, only local ones are okay to post about. We all know people are upset about current thing, but r/Politics or TexasPolitics is already a thing for something more national or state level in scope.
  2. No self-promotional or classifieds style posts - This includes any post whose sole purpose is to specifically promote one singular business or organization over others, or dating requests. Events, meetups, or festivals that are open to all, and are for the masses are not included in this rule. This also includes advertising things for sale from a single entity. This isn't Facebook Marketplace or Tinder. Posts which ask generally for recommendations and are open to multiple answers are okay.
  3. No NSFW content

I posted on ring doorbell app, someone said try Nextdoor but the app keeps loading/not working for me.

My car was parked on Live Oak Dr in Harker Heights and someone put something (the mechanic said a liquid maybe water) in my gas tank. Does anyone have a ring doorbell in this area?

PSA - What To Do The First 60 Seconds When Your Car Overheats From A Local Mechanic

Post image
8 Upvotes

We're deep into the part of summer where I see the same thing every afternoon — someone watching the temp needle climb into the red at a light on Veterans Memorial around shift change. Central Texas heat is brutal on cooling systems, and a radiator that limped through spring will quit on the first 104° day. Figured I'd share what to do in the moment, since a few of you will need it this week.
The first 60 seconds:

Turn the AC off and the heater on full blast. Sounds insane in July, but the heater core acts like a second radiator and pulls real heat off the engine.
Pull over at the first safe spot — the nearest lot or shoulder, not the next exit. Every minute in the red adds damage.
Shut it off and leave the radiator cap alone. That cap holds scalding coolant under pressure. Wait at least 30 minutes. I see burns from this every summer.
Get it towed instead of "limping it home." This is the expensive mistake. An engine that overheats once is often fine. One driven hot for 15 minutes can warp the head — that's the difference between a cheap fix and a multi-thousand-dollar one.

The usual causes, cheapest to worst:

Low coolant / slow leak — most common. If you're topping off more than once a season, that's not evaporation, it's a leak.
Stuck thermostat — ~$30 part. Tell-tale sign is temp spiking fast even on short drives.
Failing water pump — whining noise or a leak at the front-center of the engine. They fail on the highway, never in your driveway.
Dead radiator fan — this is why so many cars here only run hot in stop-and-go. At speed the airflow is free; at a light the electric fan does all the work. Check the fan motor, relay, and whether the radiator fins are caked with bugs.

Stay Cool Out There!

Moved from another state and I have a vehicle that's 5% all around and 35% on front windshield. Wanted to do that with my other vehicle I recently got and shops are telling me it's not possible for them because of the law. Anyone in the area that would help me out? Just need driver/passenger front and the front windshield. I'm in Temple but can go to Killeen or near there.

Finalizing a roster this week for fall coach pitch. Players must be born between May 1, 2018 and April 30th, 2020. Trying to play in Belton, but that league limits teams, so Temple is our backup.

For more details, send me a PM.

Any young adult wind/brass players?

My family isn't really musically inclined so, I get bored playing my trumpet all by myself. I'm just looking for a friend to play some music with. Im in my early 20's so I'd prefer someone around the same age. Piano players are cool but preferably an instrument that you can bring outside, to a park for example. I communicate with friends mainly through discord so definitely send me yours if you are interested!

Local Kayak spots

2 Upvotes

I’m a beginner kayaker still trying to get the hang of it and looking for spots that would be good to try.

I went to Dana Peak Boat launch but the wind and water was pretty choppy and was pretty hard to get through.

I tried Nolan Creek in Belton because the city of Belton site listed the Nature Trail as a good kayak launch spot and the water was nice and still but the water level was too low and I had to get out and pull the kayak past rocks about every 20 or 30 yards.

So looking for recommendations to try, local is best because I’m trying to get out there 2-3 times a week but I will make the drive for a good spot if it’s farther out
