Adam Curry, Texas Hill Country Septic Tank Technology
Adam Curry describes his relocation to the Texas Hill Country and a recent torrential flooding event that caused his septic tank to overflow. He details a conversation with "Paul the Septic Guy" regarding a modern three-tank filtration system that uses chlorine and sprinklers to manage waste. The account includes observations on local "patriot" culture and the logistics of joining an electricity co-op in a small subdivision.

00:00 What happens to the poop? Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday July 8th 2021 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination episode 1362 This is no agenda Incentivized and broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country FEMA region number six in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where I await this effort because I've got nothing else to say I'm John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Ooh, you sound congested. I woke up congested. I'm uh- congested. Gonna be congested for a while. Have you lost any sense of taste or smell? No Okay no Rona then. No Rona. I was realizing..I don't know about you but and i'm not even asking you. I always look forward to talking with you like oh I want to tell John that Oh I have so much to say
01:01 And at first, for today I was...I'm pissed a little bit pissed about the rain stick because as you know when we do a rain stick session Austin, Texas or really wherever I am it seems just gets the back end of the stick and oh my god we had torrential flooding out here now we're in hill country. We had three inches in three hours this is July yeah but you've never lived there before it could be like this all the time well no it's not because our septic tank Blew up. Overflowed basically, so you have a septic tank? Hey I... So here's what happened by the way can i say something yeah I know this is people are going to go what this guy talking about
01:48 I think it's kind of cool, because you can be out in the middle of nowhere and put the septic tank out. And it's just like regular plumbing and then a septic tank truck comes by picks it all up and you're good to go. It's even better... You gotta put chemicals in it though! Let me tell you about that cause I learned a lot about septic tanks And this is a brand new septic tank, so there's an alarm going off outside. There's a red light flashing because in essence if somethings wrong with the septic tank you do have a chance that shit is going to fly everywhere Oh no! Well if... If he had nearby farmland then that might be okay Well I called Paul the Septic Guy
02:28 And this was and now I'm really happy about the rain stick because Paul the septic guy he rolls up in his truck and He's saying boy Can't believe this rain, but wait stop Just before I'm always asking this before. I forget to thought do you also have a propane guy? Yep sure do haven't met him yet And this is... Living the dream! He's probably a little bit older than I am. Within four minutes, he was like, ah this rain is crazy and I look at him and say it's probably China. Boom!
03:07 He opened up man, he opened up. Hell yeah! Hill Country is full of patriots and it just went on and on and on. He says you're in a good place here fantastic we got everything protected I said oh i got 2 000 rounds for the AR What kind of mouse stash is that? And he goes on to tell me about what everybody has. It's fantastic! The difference, just 50 miles outside of Austin is so phenomenal We have our own radio station Patriot Hill Country FM I had no idea...I'm in heaven here and then I learned about the septic tank This is magic it's three tanks
03:49 So the poop goes into tank number one and then everything that's grease is filtered back. Then it goes into tank number two, and this is where the only thing that is in there is chlorine. And then it goes through that into septic tank number three, and when that starts to fill up, it starts to spray fresh water with chlorine of course all over the front yard. It's no poop, just water I mean that's amazing. What happens to the poop? No, it disintegrates you don't have to have the septic tank what happens to the poop ISO of the year
04:35 It's completely filtered out. So once every two, depends on how often you use it or what you pour down in them if you're throwing a lot of greasy stuff down the drain that's not a good idea because it's a whole chemical process. It just degrades on the way out. Doesn't a truck come up and pump out this stuff that you can't degrade? Only he says probably once every 2 maybe sometimes for some people 4 years What? Yeah, this is new septic. This is technology I was unaware of. I mean, we sound like a couple of dumb fuck city boys even discussing this the way were doing it. He's probably listening to that right now going because of course. Oh no agenda gotta listen to that podcast. He's probably listening to me shaking his head poor bastards. Poor city boys
05:28 Yeah, it was a wonderful experience. Really, we're in like sleep. Here's what my impression was...a septic tank was- this is just my impression because I work with guys who lived out in Sonoma County and places where they have a septic tank because they're not connected to any sewer. It's big tank That chemicals go in and you and all the poop and everything goes into this tank it accumulates And then a guy comes out and pumps it out in a big tanker truck Maybe once a month. It comes by This is like driving around in an RV which we did But that has a poop tank in it, and yeah, it's not to say you got to dump the poop tag No, it is not the same as an RV poop tank at all Also known as the grey water tank
06:21 No, no I'm fascinated by this you should it's gotta cost a lot of money for one of those systems You know, I think the the guy who built the house. He left a whole book I'll bet you I can find out how much it costs It says have a book. It sounds like a record-keeper guy Totally he has every electricity because we have to join we had to join Oh, yeah. No, you have to definitely Electricity costs here We had to join an electricity coop to get electricity out here So, except for electricity we're completely self-supporting. Did he pay for... you could also put generators in it and be good to go? That's coming I'm saving But uh... I had another question about this guy but Go ahead! I got confused by this electricity co-op did he have oh there is this question did he have to run the wires
07:15 Who? The guy who built the house. If you're going to join an electricity co-op, there's gonna be wires coming to the house Did he have to do the wires himself did he have to run the wires and overheads No this is technically a subdivision so it is an HOA that no one acknowledges So somehow that got built and they got put underground so the wires are underground into the house There's only like 16 houses here I think or something So, but I was just blown away by the turd tank system. Like this is really cool! You know and and and I always wondered how do you turn those sprinklers off? He says no you don't that's when the pump is going and it's pumping out fresh water It is chlorinated But that's really more for your protection Just spews it out over the grass And the grasses gone yummy clean water yeah That's cool
