Thank you all so much for attending another listening circle here in District 6. Today's listening circle will be on all things transportation and public works related. For those watching in, thank you all also for joining us. My name is Jared Williams. I'm the council member and it's indeed an honor to be able to serve and represent our great district alongside you all. So thanks again for being here. A couple of announcements before we get started today. For those of you all who know people who couldn't make it today, today will be recorded and will be posted online. You can find that on our social media at Jared Williams TX. That's our council page for our office. And so on every social media platform, we'll post it there. Also, we'll have another listening circle. So mark your calendars on December 2nd from 6 to 7 PM. And we'll send out information on that as well. That'll be related to issues pertaining to public safety and the safety of our neighborhoods and recent incidents with gun violence and in general, gun violence over the past year. So we'll be talking more about that. So you are definitely invited to that. And we definitely would love to hear your perspective as we can create solutions that not only go strong neighborhoods, but keep and ensure that our neighborhoods are safe. Also, this evening, we're going to be talking about a lot of issues. And also, we were wanting to hear from you all with concerns and ideas that you have related to transportation and public works related issues. If we for some reason don't get to get to you this evening, we also have comment cards. And please, please, please, if you have thoughts or ideas that come up today, please fill out those comment cards. Kendall and I will take those comment cards. We're going to connect those directly to the Transportation Public Works Department. And we'll also be following up on that issue. So please do that. Also, if you haven't had a chance to sign in today, please sign in. That's how you get added to our email distribution list. That's where we share a lot of information about what's happening in district, including upcoming town hall events and listening circles. Again, I'm super excited that all of you all are here. Transportation infrastructure is really important to us. I recognize the impact that High Speed Traffic has on our district, the importance of having great roads and sidewalks. And I also understand that together we can create a lot of solutions. So thank you all again for being here. And without further ado, well, one more thing, I got to honor the host. Thank you so much to Hallmark Baptist Fellowship for hosting us today. We really appreciate your partnership with the district and with the city. I'd also like to thank our MPO officers who are here today. Thank you all so much for your service to the district and to the city. You definitely make a world of difference here in district six and for our families and neighbors. So thank you all. Without any further ado, I'm going to hand it off to Tanya Brooks. She's with Transportation Public Works. She'll be given updates and then she'll pass it to the next city representative and then we'll conclude with questions and answers. And we'll depart from there. Right at 7 p.m. also, I'll have to run to another neighborhood event. We have a neighborhood meeting tonight at 7. So please forgive me for leaving right at 7. I'll have my contact information as well as our office's contact information on the back table. So please grab that. I'd love to connect with you. Maybe even set up some one-on-one time here soon. So thank you all so much again for being here and I'll pass it on to Tanya. Thank you all so much for being here. Move this down a little bit. Good evening, everyone. Thank you, Councilmember. My name is Tanya Brooks. I'm the Assistant Director in our TPW oversee our Transportation Management Division. What our division is responsible for is maintaining our city's transportation infrastructure, which includes our traffic signals, our street lights, our pavement markings, as well as our sidewalks. We implement sidewalks. Before I start, I introduce my team, my colleagues here. I have Kelly Porter, our Assistant Director, Regional Mobility and Innovation. Greg Simmons oversees our Stormwater Streets and Stormwater Division and lanes our Capital Projects Officer, CPO, responsible for pavement, right? OK. So we have a presentation. Unfortunately, the technology is not compatible and I can't show the presentation that I'm about to go through. But we've promised that we'll get it to you guys. We'll have it spliced into the presentation. We'll send it to the council office and we can get that distributed to you all so that you can have access to the slides we're about to walk through. So if you don't mind, I'll take about 10 minutes to go through the entire presentation. I know I'm hiding behind these microphones because I'm short. But I'll take about 10 minutes to go through the presentation and if we can save Q&A for the very end, that would be helpful to expedite the time and I'll have my colleagues assist me with answering any questions you all may have. So the agenda, we have pavement management, program updates from the 2018 bond and our proposed 2022 bond projects. And those categories are our neighborhood streets, our arterials, mobility intersection and then transportation management updates. So our pavement management group is the group that maintains the street assets through data collection, performance condition assessments on the roadways, identify proper treatments and procedures and prioritize funding for city programs. Lane team maintain over 8,000 lane miles in the city pavement network. Over 14 lane miles are scheduled for heavy maintenance in council district in fiscal year 21. So we're almost complete with that. And then 18 lane miles are proposed for construction in this council district for the 2022 bond program. Roughly 60 lane miles will be constructed city wide in the 2022 bond. We have a chart that shows the current street assets and conditions, a digital inspection vehicle drives all of those 8,000 lane miles every five years to measure the pavement conditions and calculates a score between zero and 100. So all of our streets have an actual calculated score from zero to 100 so we can prioritize for which ones are in the worst condition. Approximately 5% of our network is in poor condition or failed, which represents 380 lane miles city wide. Council district six has roughly 2% of those streets or 19 lane miles in poor or failed condition where maintenance is ineffective at preventing pavement failure. Streets in poor or failed condition are prioritized to be reconstructed in the bond program. We have another slide with us pavement management in order to reduce reconstruction costs and maximize the pavement life, repair, maintenance is performed. The yearly allocation of our maintenance pay-as-you-go funding is used to prevent for preventative maintenance such as crack and joint sealing and mill and overlays of the pavement surface. The pavement condition index helps identify the proper treatments, procedures for the road conditions and prioritize funding for city programs such as our pay-as-you-go which we commonly refer to as pay-go or bonds. We have criteria which includes equity, service deficiencies, leveraging opportunities, approved master plan, capital replacement, project collaboration with our partner agencies and criteria that just helps us to improve the existing infrastructure. The proposed 2022 bond funding for TPW is an estimated 465 million right lane in all of our categories which include the ones we talked about as well as our sidewalks and our safety projects, safety categories, neighborhood school safety as well as street light maintenance. Neighborhood streets, bond categories, not all streets in a project will be from one council district. We do this to increase the buildability of our contracts. We have completed a proposed neighborhood streets project list in 2018 bond. 2018 concrete restoration. We have Morton Street and Alta Mesa Boulevard in this district. Morton Street from Ford to Shackleford. Alta Mesa from South Hewland to Whitman. And that construction is started in August of 2019 and it was complete last year in September 2020. Our 2018 CIP concrete restoration project on Grandbury Road and Wentworth Street was started in January 2019 and completed in October of 2020. Also had a 2018 bond street reconstruction contract for Burgess Drive, Dorela Drive, Everest Drive, Auburn Marl, I may be pronouncing that wrong, and West Cleveland and construction is set to be complete in September 2021. I'm looking at Lane to confirm that that was complete last month. In our arterials category, over 60 arterial projects were weighted against the bond prioritization criteria of congestion, capital replacement, safety, crash data, equity, public health and safety. And we have three active arterial projects in this council district. Those are McCart Avenue, phase one. It's going to be a four lane divided roadway. It's a roundabout at North Crowley. Construction is set to start July 2022 and complete by December 2023. McCart Avenue, this project was phase. So phase two is set to start in July 2022 and complete the December 2023 as well. Ryzenger Road at IH 35 is an intersection improvement project. It's a widening under IH 35. Construction started September 2020 and is scheduled to be complete this month, November 2021. It's 95% complete right now. So it should be completed within the next few weeks. West Ryzenger Road, the project's scope is to construct a four lane divided roadway. The construction started in September 2019 and complete April 2021. The established corridors projects reconstruct the street and apply what we call complete street concept. If you haven't heard of what complete streets are, it's where we go in and not only reconstruct the road but we also put in multimodal amenities such as sidewalks to enhance the safety for pedestrians, bicycle lanes to enhance safety for cyclists as well. So the proposed established corridors that support transit in this, well this is not this district, but East Lancaster, Eastbury and McCart is in this district. So those are the established corridors supporting transit and Kelly can speak more to those after we present this information. Then our mobility and intersection bond projects include any change to the geometry of the intersection. Several projects in the 2018 bond were complete. Crowley Road and Sycamore School Road completed in January 2021. Alta Mesa was completed in August of 2020. Huland Street and Grand Barrie, that project scope was to construct a dual left turn lanes to replace the traffic signals. Construction started in June 2021 and scheduled to be complete in May 2022. I'm sorry, February 2022, right? Trail Lake Drive is a lighting improvement. Construction is scheduled to start in February of 2022 and scheduled to be completed by July 2022. Then the following are proposed for the 2022 bond. We have Forest Hill Drive at Royal Crest. The scope is to reconstruct the existing intersection and create a dedicated northbound and southbound turn lanes. Also, Barrie Street at South Riverside, which is a textile facility. The scope is to construct free right turn lanes in that project. Design is estimated in the fall of 2025 and construction is expected to be complete by the spring of 2027. Then we talk about our transportation management group where our focus is enhancing safety as we maintain our infrastructure. So one thing that we're focusing on is pedestrian safety because a couple of years ago, City of Fort Worth was leading the state number two in the state for pedestrian fatalities. Happy to report that. We found out from FHWA a couple of weeks ago that we're now number six. And I'd like to think that we've been focusing on putting in sidewalks and other pedestrian amenities that has put us in a better, in some categories you wanna be number one and others you wanna be as far from number one as possible. And pedestrian safety being number two was not something we were proud of. So we're like six behind Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, maybe not Austin, El Paso. I think it's about five major large cities that we're behind. So we're doing better in that category. But the way we're prioritizing projects is through Vision Zero. If you haven't heard of Vision Zero, Vision Zero is a strategy to reduce the number of crashes that result in fatalities and severe injuries. So we analyzed crash data over a five year period. We had over 88,000 crashes in the City of Fort Worth between 2014 and 2019. We took half of those crashes, the ones that result in the fatalities and severe injuries, and we came up with what we call our Vision Zero high injury network. And we did the top 10 for each mode, top 10 in vehicle crashes, top 10 in pedestrian crashes and top 10 in bicycling crashes and came up with this high injury network and we're using that network to prioritize projects to enhance safety for those different modes. The only high injury network in this district is a vehicle high injury network. I believe it's Ulta Mesa. Yes, Ulta Mesa between Woodway and McCart, can you hear me? Woodway and McCart Avenue. We're also enhancing pedestrian safety using our active transportation plan that was adopted by council back in 2019. What that active transportation plan does is look at all of the sidewalk, missing sidewalks in the city of Fort Worth and it kind of prioritizes it based on crash data and equity and we're using that plan that was adopted to prioritize sidewalk projects in the 2022 bond. The locations that we're proposing in the 2022 bond include implementing sidewalks on McCart Avenue between West Cleburne to South Metal Road, McCart Avenue from I-20 to Walton Avenue, West Creek Drive from Forgo Court to Ulta Mesa Boulevard and West Creek from McCart to Forgo Court. Those are the projects. Do you want to say anything about the garden acres slide that you put in? That's at you, or lane? Okay. I can speak to that. All right, I'm going to turn it over to Lane to speak on garden acres. So recently, we've received a lot of emails and complaints about garden acres, so I want to address that specifically and we can talk more about your specific concerns about that in the question and answer session or after our presentation is concluded. So garden acres, we understand the pavement condition is very poor in this area. We also understand that there's some flooding issues that need to be addressed. The future state of that area around garden acres in the master thoroughfare plan includes a realignment and extension of McPherson from where it intersects Oak Grove Road to I-35 and that becomes the major arterial, effectively making garden acres just a side street residential again and diverting that traffic onto that future extension of McPherson. That future project and the MTP is a large funding need, large capital funding need. And then when we also consider on top of that the drainage issues, the future capital need for stormwater is pretty significant as well. And we need to investigate because of some of the new development some of the alternatives that we have for stormwater to solve those solutions or solve those issues. So the capital funding need there is also very large. So together street and stormwater, we're looking at a future capital need of upwards of $32 million. So we don't have the capacity to localize that amount of funding in this area for the 2022 bond. However, it is prioritized and considered when we look at all the arterials and funding capital work. In the interim to address the immediate needs, we are doing work in fiscal year 22. So we're going to be completely reconstructing garden acres from I-35 to Oak Grove Road. And Oak Grove Road from Garden Acres, just south of their block where the pavement condition is poor. We're also doing a neighborhood that has poor condition. It includes Timothy, Blythe Court and Deer Run. So all of that work will start construction probably around springtime or maybe summertime of next year. Before that happens, we have our stormwater operations crews out there to fix some of the localized drainage issues that are existing in the bar ditches. So they are cleaning culvert pipes. They're going to actually start in December regrading of all of the bar ditches along garden acres. So that will drastically improve those existing issues. So I think that's our plan to address the immediate need and wait for that future state to occur when McPherson gets extended and the stormwater large drainage study to handle, I guess Greg can probably help me with what the ultimate goal is of their study, but to figure out what needs to be done to address the drainage long-term. That's all I have on garden acres. Thank you. Thank you, that concludes our presentation. So we're here, myself, Greg, Kelly and Lane will take your questions and try to answer them if you have any. Yes, sir. I was thinking of, so you mentioned rising or east, what about rising from the west? When they, from the west side of 35, when they put the big Amazon plan in, there's a road close sign there. And I don't know if they're going to open it back up again or not. What's planned for rising from the west side of 35? I need to, let me go to the mic. Sorry. I'm not familiar with that specific question, but I can go back and look at that and get an answer to you. One of the issues, as far as traffic in that area, is your own egress from the neighborhoods or garden acres and every one. Rising or west go all the way through, but at least give us a shortcut back that they've taken out. I don't know why it's closed, it's temporary permanent, that's why I was asking about that. Okay. You mentioned them if you're some extension, and that's interesting to me because I talked to the city when they put it in that there's a stuff there. And the reason they told me then was there's a gas well that you can't see back behind there and they can't run the street because there's a gas well there. Why did they put a gas well in the middle of the street? It's about to go out, I have no idea. But they have to wait until the gas well's gone put street in, which makes no sense to me either. In the meantime, we have to deal with garden acres.  I'm curious about how you're going to rebuild it because if you just take up the pavement, put down pavement, it'll last maybe one year. With the number, the volume of semis that drive through there and the amount of traffic that we get through there, the road right now is A not big enough and B not built to handle all those trucks. That's why we have all the popsles and things we have now. So I'm curious what that plan is and as part of that, are you going to change that intersection right next to us, right where you come in and if your thing goes up or it goes straight because when the trucks get stuck, it backs up. They need their own lane to get off of the road and not back up traffic. It also today, this just happened to me today when I'm coming out of the neighborhood during rush hour, the left turn light backs up into garden acres. And I don't want to turn right, but I can't because there's so much traffic backing up onto the street. I can't get to the stop light. Reason we're 35 had an accident. It was backed up all the way up to Oak Grove. So just putting there too many street in there. Probably not the right idea. So what's the plan for garden acres? Besides this, we're going to rebuild it. So we can look at the right of way that we have and see if there's any potential for us to widen a little bit at the intersection where Lowe's is or Love's is. If we don't have the right of way, we won't be able to do that this next year. But I can look at that some more. But the general scope of the project is to do a full depth reconstruction of the road. So we're going to go 12 inches down. We're going to re-stabilize the base, repair all of the sags and redding of the base. And then we're going to come in with new pavement. It's going to be asphalt pavement similar to what you see now. Okay, so won't be a concrete road is going to be an asphalt road? No, sir, yeah. I mean, the Future Capital Project McPherson's extension will be a concrete four lane divided street. Okay, and you did it. The last thing you did on this kind of my question, I just delivered these things I thought I was just going to talk to you and that's stormwater. Because you mentioned stormwater garden neighbors, but garden neighbors has two different meanings. You have garden neighbors in the street, garden neighbors in the neighborhood. Okay, so you mentioned stormwater garden neighbors. Are you talking to the street or to the neighborhood? We're talking about the neighborhood and larger. It does extend, that drainage study area, correct me if I'm wrong, Greg, covers both the entire neighborhood classified as garden acres and it goes east to the street. Extends beyond the neighborhood itself. That study area is where we've seen the flooding. You mentioned the cost and how much it is and I've been there for years. Back in the 90s, well, 90 years, the city was going to give us a few streets, storm drainage the whole bit. They got partway through and they just died. I don't know what happened, just got caught. Maybe 20 years ago, because I've talked to the city about the non-historical system, I was given a number of $5 million to do streets and sewers for everything. Now it's $25 million to do streets and sewers. I just told that just yesterday at the airport in the city, all right. If we wait, how much more is it going to cost to fix it? I mean, I don't know if you guys have seen the pictures, you may have seen the pictures. I've been seeing the pictures that I have to barricade my house. Every time it rains heavy, so the water hasn't flowed in. Right in the capital. And I think we need to get something out there, whatever it is, because it's going to cost more, don't have the money and this is going to be worse for the long. So I want to see what we can do to try to get that taken care of and not just keep taking it down the road because it costs a lot of money. Do you want to talk to that? Okay. I think Greg is going to come up here and talk about stormwater. Yeah, I'm Greg Simmons, TPW at Stormwater and other things too. So yeah, I appreciate your questions and certainly understanding. And of course what you're experiencing isn't an unusual thing in areas that were annexed with rural drainage and road system. And so we've got that sort of issue in many places throughout the city. In fact, we've recently been getting a bunch of emails from Panther Heights, which is another community in Council Member Williams, which is the same sort of thing. And so those issues are very difficult to deal with when you didn't have a drainage system put in initially when the community was constructed and the city annexed it after.  So the scale of the stormwater program, we've got about 15 to $20 million a year to spend on all the drainage problems all over the city. So at that level, our highest priority are life safety issues. So the primary thing that we're focusing on are the severe road flooding problems where people die, you know, in 2018 we had four people that were killed in road flooding issues. So that's where the primary focus goes. The second level that we go to are pipe rehabilitation. So we've got pipe systems all over the city that are 70, 80, 90 years old, falling apart, creating both flooding problems and life safety issues because that's where you have these road collapses and cars drive into those sorts of things. So when we talk about significant flooding of the nature you're talking about, again, we just the scale of our program isn't such that we can take off large projects like that. So yeah, when we did the study to try and capture the flooding in the Panther Heights community, get it to somewhere where it won't create flooding somewhere else. Again, at that time was about a $20 million project. And so for a program that has about $20 million a year to spend for the entire city, we don't do projects that are that big just by ourselves. So what we do is try and make the drainage system that exists work as well as it can, which are the things that Lane was talking about with the bar ditches and the driveway culverts and those sorts of things. Go and try to keep those working as well as we can. If there are partnership opportunities either with streets projects or in some cases there can be private development that's going on that maybe has to make some improvements and perhaps we can leverage our money with theirs or if the county is willing to go in, we look for those sorts of partnership opportunities again because our program's not able to do it. So those are the things, that's kind of our action list for areas like yours. So again, for right now we're gonna be doing the best we can with the drainage system we have. We're gonna try and be alert to other things that are going on like anything that might happen with the city's bond program for streets projects that potentially we'd partner with. If there's any developments going on that might be having to make drainage improvements that we could partner with or if the county is willing to partner, those are the sorts of things that we're gonna try and keep our eye on. But short of that, that's kind of what we can do right now for your area. Well essentially the drainage for our neighborhood is through my yard and my neighbor's yard. That's our drainage. The demonstrate turns that right through our yard. That's our drainage. So what I think I'm hearing and I knew most of what you just said is more than you can handle. It takes one more to partner. It's just too much money, right? So what is our best option? Is it a bond? Is I know you need help from streets as well? Is it what's the best option? And I know our councilman's office is doing some things so I don't want to reveal what they're doing. What is the best way to get this done? Sure, well it's like anything else with a city. It's about priorities and resources. Got limited resources, you try and take them and apply them to the highest priority needs. So in terms of options from a city standpoint, it would have to rise to high enough priority to compete with other needs around the cities. Right now, drainage projects by themselves are not on, like they're talking about the 2022 bond program. There'll be nothing on there that's just exclusively a drainage project. The stormwater program that I run is the way the city has chosen to address drainage issues throughout the city. So it would have to be a high enough priority for us to have enough revenue in order to bite off a project like that. So were you gonna say something, Councilor Morse? Yeah, and I just wanted to say just from a council office perspective, first of all, all of your issues are resonating really deeply with me and Kendall. Yeah, we're recording those in just for folks who may not know from a council perspective, our role is really to advocate for resource allocation. And so this issue along with the one in Panther Heights is something that we've noted not only for the bond, but also with the next budget cycle, working with the city manager to convey how important this issue is so that we can work through what it would look like to help support stormwater team from a general fund and budget perspective. So all those things, again, are related to priorities and it's definitely, I don't use this word lightly or often, but it's definitely a fight, right? And that's something that we're willing to have a conversation with. I'm David Cook to say, you know, look, these issues are really important to our residents and we gotta find some way to make it work. So well received, definitely heard and know that Kendall and I will be working to relay that from a resource perspective to see what we can do in addition to partnerships with developers as we have development coming in the neighborhood. So I know it's not quite the answer, but just know that we feel the same thing and we're working on that as well. Sorry, he was in front first. Oh, I need to go ahead. I need to turn it off so I can stand. Yeah, I've lived in guard napers since 1974. And this cleaning up the digits sounds great on paper, but until you make water run up here, you'll have a medical work. You're digging the ditches deeper than the culvert pipe under the street. You're creating a lake and a river. It doesn't work. You know, you talk about the money you need to do this project. How much money has the city stayed since 1974 when they haven't spent any money in guard napers? You know, there's another issue. You know, the bar ditches, the corner of where I live, it's stuck at the stone. One of the neighbors died and another man bought the property through a piece of metal culvert pipe in the ditch, made a driveway over it. His culvert pipe is smaller than the pipe up the river from him. It backs the water all the way up, stone road across the street into the people's houses. I had, city code enforcement came out there two years ago, looked at it. Oh, this is not gonna work. He's gonna have to fix that. I don't know what timeline they worked on, but two years is a pretty good timeline for somebody to have to dig up something they put in on the weekend. You know, the roads and guard napers, they haven't been touched other than throw tar and gravel on them ever a couple of years. But yet, you've dug probably 300 houses to the south and east of guard napers, bringing all that traffic in on the same roads. Why aren't these developers paying to fix our roads?  But they're not paying anything on it. All they're doing is making money from selling these lots of outrageous prices. You're allowing developers to ruin people's, the city's resources with no consequences, no recourse. You know, if I was driving a commercial truck up and down that road every day, I'm sure I would be seeing tickets or something to see who won't meet or repair what I'm tearing up. But nobody's going back to DR Warden and these other developers to try to get them to repair what they're tearing up. You know, I was like, I've lived there since 1974 and guard napers have just been like, don't hush up and be quiet over there. And, you know, it is nice that the city is finally listening to us about it. This is the first meeting I've ever heard where the city's even paid any attention what the people feel out there. But if you would go out there and talk to the people, I don't think you'd find a satisfied person unless they're more than five years. Thank you for your time. Thank you again for lifting up that perspective. Just to give you some more context, you know, Ken O'Donnell, since we've been in office, we've been really concerned about like as we continue to annex and ETJs, especially for development coming in, that we ensure that they're provided in complete development, including stormwater, expansion of roads and that kind of thing. One example of that, a couple examples of that. One, you know, in Tavolo Park, there were some issues related to school zones and also traffic signs and intersections. And we were able to work with developers to make those improvements. Same with Rock Creek Ranch, when developers wanted to come in and initiate a couple of projects, we negotiated them extending brewer on both sides to make it a four lane with a median in between. So that wasn't the case with Garden Acres. And so that's why I think it's really important as a council office that we work with city management to figure out how do we address this situation and also give some relief along the way until we get to the comprehensive solution. So well received. Thank you for lifting that up. Are there any other perspectives or questions? Yes, sir. I just wondered if anybody's explored the possibility of extending stone road all the way up to 1187. Because we live right there where Garden Acres dead ends and open road. And if 35-bats up, we got 18-wheels coming out on road trying to turn right on Garden Acres. I mean, you know, it's not big enough for that, but they do it. And just like this gentleman behind me said, I don't have a knife and a file. He could have said 74. We wanted to do it for five years, but we've seen it off right there on that corner. You know? That's a great perspective and a great idea. We'll take that back as well. Young man got killed right there at Garden Acres in 30, right there at Garden Acres in Oak Road on the motorcycle because somebody didn't stop. Yeah, we're not stopping. If they put a red light there, that'd even be worse. Because at five o'clock, from 35 to Oak Road, it's car after car after car. And as he mentioned, 300, 500, I'm a happy house as they built on the south end of the neighborhood. They built a bunch.  So we got more people coming. We got 18-wheels blocking the road up here at Love's Travel Stop. We can't even get home. I mean, it's not a good thing. And the city's not paying attention. People living in Garden Acres are getting tired of it. But if there's a solution to it, but if Stone Road could be run out to 1187, that could be a solution to make traffic a little less congestive. Thank you for that idea. Yeah, we'll definitely work on that. Like I said, the Garden Acres issue is definitely a big issue that we have to address. And I want to create some space and opportunity for other folks that may have other transportation public works issues. But know that this isn't the end of the conversation that we'll work with each of you. Actually, leave your contact with us as well, that way we can loop you into our conversations as well with city management to see what we can do. So thank you all for that. I'm going to extend Stone Road. Stone Road? I'm going to protest. Share with them. I have a money. I'm trying to pull everything up on my phone, the master thoroughfare plan map. But that is part of our plan is to eventually have Stone Road connect all the way down into Burleson. I guess to probably don't want to like, but it looks like on my map about to Renfro. So you'd have a way to where from Garden Acres, you wouldn't have to deal with 35 at all. You just come right down Stone Road. I don't actually have a programming date for that, but that is in our plans. And so as we go through these bond programs or whatnot, we take off a little bit at a time. And as other funding opportunities come out, we take a little bit of a time and implement more. So that's definitely in the plan. If that wasn't transpired, how many years were you talking about before Stone Road could be sent out that way? I mean, they're building new houses less than right. Right. So more traffic on this road. So we do have a bond project that deals with that part of Stone Road, or a Tarrant County bond project that we'll be partnering with the county on, that I think goes south of 1187. It's by Spinks on Stone Road. So we can circle back with you as part of our answers and get that to you when that's going to happen. But that is something that, since the bond passed last night, that's something that hopefully may get picked up and move forward. That's what we're going to do, because they took Stone Road and down two or three streets. And it's right there at the creek. And you can almost see 1187 down there. Right. Right now our goal is there's the part near Spinks. The part from 1187 up, I'll have to look at that on our maps. But Stone Road's in our, it's something I was looking at today. It's on our list. So we'll be able to circle back with you. And one other thing that could be done is right there where Deer Creek turns off the garden acres drive, they could put a turn around there. Like a cul-de-sac? No, like a turn around. You can come down. Roundabout, OK. Roundabout. They could put a roundabout right there. And that would be some suggestion, because when some people try to get them off of Deer Creek on the garden acres or gold, it's just a bottleneck right there. Yep. Talking about extended Stone Road, my driveway backs onto Stone Road. OK. That's a 40-mile-an-hour speed zone.  What time do you say anything? And there's houses all on Stone Road. That's what they buy. With their kids, with their grandkids. And there's nothing to slow the cars down at a 40-mile-an-hour zone when your kids are right there. Yeah, well received. Kendall, before we leave for the day, please take their contact information. We'll set up another meeting that we can dive deeper into this so that we can get all the issues, and then we can advocate on your behalf. I do want to save some space and time for other issues as well. We have about 10 minutes left before the conclusion of tonight's listening circle. And then we also want to give you all some update on other projects that we're working on as well. So are there any other issues related to trans-age public work? Yes, ma'am. Just real quick, I think I heard you say you're going to do a roundabout by no off-prime. McCarty on multiple-prime. Where? I thought they said no off-prime. Yes, one from McCart down on the East Valley People's Road. How big is it? 227. There's not so much. That's going to be fine. Are they here? Do you have a phone bag? While she's looking up the specifics. While she's looking up specifics, the city is expanding McCart South, and it'll run into North Crowley-Cleaver Road, which we'll have a roundabout. But they're going to get the specifics for that. Yeah, that's what we've been waiting for. Mm-hmm. One in North Crowley-Cleaver, and then one had. OK. OK. Thank you, ma'am. Yeah, so phase one of McCart, taking it down to North Crowley-Cleaver, and that is going to be a roundabout there, and then it looks like the same treatment at McPherson and McCart. Can strike a roundabout at McPherson, yeah. And then we're planning to send this presentation out to everybody, too. So all the details that we talked about tonight will be on that presentation. What other questions and concerns or issues do you have? Yes, ma'am. I know it doesn't have a lot to do with the roads, as far as the transportation part, but it does. All the speed bumps that were made throughout all the neighborhoods, three-quarters of the time, you can't see them. And if you just go and do just a little white line, and I don't speed through the neighborhoods at all, but let me tell you, even going five or 10 mile an hour over a speed bump that you can't see is not a good thing for your car. I know that may sound insignificant, but car repairs are not cheap. So as of 2009, we no longer have a road hump program, so we're no longer even maintaining those road humps. The ones that are still existing as we have road reconstruction projects, they're being removed. Until that time, we will put in signs to indicate there's a road hump. So if you give me locations, we'll be happy to put in some signs. But we no longer pay them, but we will put in some signs on the side of the road to indicate there's a road hump. So can we talk about the city and take out something? I'm just members of the board. Just to follow up on that, if me and our officer are really, really concerned about high speed traffic throughout neighborhoods and also speed humps, so if there are issues that you all see, areas that you all think are in need of stop signs, or areas where there's speed humps that are no signs, you can relay that to our office and we'll connect you with tying in her team so that we can address those. Because speed humps really don't stop speeders. They don't speed anywhere. Yeah, and from a public safety perspective, they also cause some challenges with our fire trucks and police. Yeah, so we'll put signs there, work with us, send us the location that you told me and we'll get working on that. What other questions before we share a couple updates? Seeing none, I'll give a quick update on some things that we've been working on to the tune of what you were just mentioning. We're really focused on high speed traffic throughout the neighborhood. So again, if you notice areas that you think may need a stop sign, we can work with I'm tying in her team to do a study and to address that infrastructure as needed. We've also been, I've been concerned really with high speed traffic along Risinger, along Brian Irvin, along Brewer Road. And so we've been working with TPW to study those corridors and then to make improvements there, including, we even had the ability to set up speed zones with police cars or police officers there to encourage residents to slow down. We know that they're in a hurry to work or to school or just in a hurry for no reason. And we want our first responders to help them slow down by giving them warnings and in some cases they may have to write a ticket but really the spirit is encouraging residents to slow down through those corridors. Risinger is one of particular interests. We're looking at additional stop sign. We're still studying that as well. But I really think we need to take a look at Risinger Road. I know growing up in this neighborhood that has been a major arterial for folks to drive mindlessly and not even recognize they're going fast. And then sometimes when I was a teenager, kids going way too fast. And we've seen and felt the impact of that within the last year. So we're looking at those major roads and working with developers as well, especially on the west side of Chisholm Trail as we're getting new developments, we're making sure that they're providing and implementing proper infrastructure, including stop signs, et cetera. For those of you who live in Tavolo Park, I know there's been some issues related to a school zone for Great Hearts Lakeside and just the high speed traffic that goes through the school zone while families are trying to drop off their kids. We are in the works of creating a school zone there. There was a part delay, I believe, but it is on track to be completed. Hopefully this year is the plan. Also on the other side of Tavolo Park with Brian Irvin, there's been improvements being made by the developers. Lots of you and maybe those who are watching as well have had issues with those intersections and there's a lot of high speed. So the developers have worked with our council office to make those improvements as well. And so those are a couple of the updates that are related to this part of the district related to high speed traffic and also making sure that we have proper traffic infrastructure in place as we continue to grow as a district. So with that being said, thank you all so much again for coming out sharing your concerns. For many of you, some of these issues have been, you've been experiencing them for years, decades, and from my perspective, that's not okay and we need to figure out solutions together. So thank you all for lifting up those perspectives. That certainly helps us and our team work better and more diligently and more urgently to ensure that we're addressing the needs that our residents are facing every day. So thank you all for that. For those tuning in, the purpose of these listening circles is exactly what you saw. It's an opportunity to connect our council office, city departments, and neighborhoods and our neighbors around specific issues that you all are facing so that we can get in the same room, hear the same issues and work together to create the solution. So we will be having another listening circle in December on December 2nd that will be related to public safety and gun violence over the past year, and particularly along the McCart and ultimacy corridor. And we have a lot of plans in work, including a reinvestment zone in the McCart and ultimacy corridor that is in the early stages. And so please, please, please come out to that listening circle. It's from six to 7 p.m. And we'll send out the location following this meeting. Also, if you haven't had a chance to sign in, please sign in so we have your contact information. And if you have more issues or if you want to write your issues down on the comment card, that helps us to follow up with your issue with you and with the city department to make sure that we get it on record and that we also can get working on it. So thank you also to our transportation public work team. Thank you all for all the amazing work that y'all do. I know that dollars don't go as far as roads sometimes. And as a council member, know that I'm working hard to make sure at least from a council perspective that we're making proper investments in our infrastructure. It's so important to our residents and y'all are the heartbeat in a lot of ways of our city. So thank you all for coming out with us to listen to the concerns of district six and working with us to make a difference in the community. So with that being said, that is the end of tonight's listening circle. I know an hour went by so fast, but I look forward to seeing y'all again at the next one. And please don't forget to sign in and share your contact information with us so we can follow up on some of these issues. Thank y'all again. Y'all have a blessed night. Take care. Thank you so much. Nice to meet you. Thank you.


While there are autistic people who are more easy to identify like Peridot, there are people like Pearl who you wouldn't know unless they told you. I actually fall into the Pearl category in this case since a lot of my traits aren't very pronounced or visible. Usually if, and when I tell people, I'm usually met with a lot of disbelief and bewildered looks. If anything, I guess it really only proves my point that people don't really know a lot about this subject.

Azerbaijan is ready to help rebuild Turkey after the earthquake. I am sure that Turkey will come out of this bitter test with honour and cope with it, but this is an incredibly immense tragedy," said President Ilham Aliyev as he was at the Embassy of the Republic of Turkey in Azerbaijan. Every life saved seems to save the world for us. Again, rescuers from Turkey, Azerbaijan and other countries are doing a great job. Of course, the main burden, the moral burden here falls on the Turkish government. My brother, the Honourable President, immediately gave all the instructions and sent all the ministers to the disaster zones, and I am sure that the strong and powerful Turkish state will overcome this difficulty and continue its efforts in conducting search and rescue operations. After that, of course, we are ready to join the restoration work. That is, Turkey and Azerbaijan are already one fist, one heart and one soul. We see it this way. The citizens of Turkey and Azerbaijan also see it this way. It is a great honour for us to be with Turkey in these difficult days," noted the President. President Ilham Aliyev said, We know that representatives of our state institutions are also active in organising humanitarian aid within their institutions, and we can only welcome this. In other words, the entire Azerbaijani people are with the brotherly Turkish people today. On my instructions, all aid issues will be managed from one centre, and the head of the Presidential Administration has been instructed about that. In addition, our hospitals have all the conditions for the treatment of our wounded brothers and sisters. Beds have already been allocated in Baku and other cities, including Naktivan, Autonomous Republic, and if necessary, we are ready to bring in patients.

We are standing here with like half of OTK or a few of OTK and how do I even introduce this group? I'm Austin from Hundred Thieves, yes, not OTK. We've got Austin's show, we've got Miskip, we've got Imiru and we've got Esfan. You guys look fantastic. Welcome. How are you guys doing? We're doing great. We're doing fantastic. Our journey to get here today was something of legends. Jacket. Guess what we got all that. Where did you get that? When did he get that? When did you get that? Literally 45 minutes ago. Oh, you're even later than Scar. He picked Esfan up as he was running out of Men's Warehouse on the way here. No joke. I checked out at 545. I bought my clothes at Men's Warehouse because we were streaming with everybody earlier. What ends up happening is I'm running out. Austin described me as like Antonio Benderis. Antonio Benderis, his hair was flowing in the wind. He had bags he was putting on a shoe. The driver we had had to get out and fix his tie. We threw it out. He wanted to wear it. He didn't fix your tie too. He fixed my tie. Okay, we're out of the side of this. Any poured cologne basically all over me. I love interviewing you guys because you guys just carry this for me. It's so great. That's a lovely story too. How are you doing, Nim? Has anybody asked you that? Yes, you guys are last. I have to read an ad once. Nim, how have you been doing tonight? I have done great. There's a man talking in my ear the entire evening and half the things he's telling me. I have no idea what he's telling me.  He's doing a good job. All right? He's doing the best job. He's saying nice things. Okay, okay. Never mind. We love you, man. Go to hell, man in the air. You hear me, man in the air.  I can't see what he's actually trying to say. What are you trying to say? Oh, that's a really good idea. What is that? He said you guys all suck. Oh. No, he actually said none or nothing. I have a gift for you guys. Are you ready? I'm ready. Okay. Do you know what this is?   I think misgiv is the best person to do this. So go ahead, misgiv.  We're going to ask tips before we're going to read this. Wait, this could conflict with one of your categories. You know what's funny? Hold on. All of our categories. We're going to see this. Oh. Oh. You guys can take turns. What if you guys do one turn? If we take turns, if we take turns, then it won't conflict. And there's one. Okay. I'll start. We're really happy to have Azaris sponsor today for the first ever Streamer Awards. Azaris is the leader in overlay games, turning all live streams into digital arenas. Wow. Presenting the award for ASMR Streamer brought to us by Fansly is Maya's least favorite streamer, S-FanTV. The worst favorite streamer on Twitch. Great job. Obviously, this is a huge thing.  That's what we did. So it's kind of cool to see that not only, I guess, not only have things gone incredibly well for everybody here, but just also everybody else who's not on stage right now, like our staff and everybody behind the scenes and people who couldn't make it here, it's been incredible. Super, super good. So, and a lot of people here actually in the... We have people to thank up top. Finn. Finn, everyone loves Finn, baby. Finn, we love you. Our cameraman right there. Here's our guy. Our stuff right there. We have Ashley up there. True. Young Jeff, who runs our Twitter.  Have fun at your wedding. Just honestly, amazing staff. Shout out to Synac, who has, honestly, he just ran our entire org for a while and Discord notifications for letting us know things are happening. There's too many people to thank. I mean, we've got over 20 people now working on staff and it's crazy that this is like a real thing. Yeah, and this is where you cry. Cry. Yeah. I think it's really easy to see all the wins that we've had, but also behind the scenes we've dealt with a lot and I want to thank everybody for dealing with Mizkiff's ego. I'm very excited that we managed to make it this far while dealing with that. And also dealing with Rich's terrible jokes, so thank you everybody.


And then fatherhood. Fatherhood is so crazy. So we don't have a visceral experience of having a kid unless you're an old Schwarzenegger in that movie in the 80s.  And so fatherhood is weird.  I'm very, very lucky in that way. And on top of that, early on, you're being ignored and not ignored, like, intentionally, like stiff arm by your wife. But the baby is taking precedent. Cool. I get that. My marginal utility increases with age. I understand that. So you're sort of like rationally, you're all right. I love this thing.  But fatherhood creeps up on you. Like, you're taking care of the kid and you're going through the motions. And you do care about it because you recognize this. But all of a sudden, fatherhood just kind of sidles up beside you. You're working with the kid one day and just kind of bumps you and goes, like, pfft. And it leaves. It's like that little pfft. Good, good, good talk. And then all of a sudden, it's like you go through this wormhole of beautiful relation with your kid. And it clicks. It doesn't happen immediately. In fact, some of my other clients who are fathers talked about that. Early on, it's this really frustrating thing because they're not getting attention from their wife. They can't really comfort the kid because early on, you're not really a sense of comfort. You don't have the milk. And you don't have mom's smell. That's why they encourage, like, skin-to-skin contact. You'd be laying there on your chest with your baby in its diaper just on you, feeling, touching, communicating. And now my son likes me more than my wife. But that's just a phase. They'll go through it. They'll be like, I want mommy more than daddy. I want daddy more than mommy. So it does come back to eventually kind of pay dividends in that way. They're, you're going to find that you start caring about things like schools.  And you're starting to worry about the neighborhood schools.  There's a term white flight that is used when all of these previous peoples who were occupying the coffee shops and the bars in the city up and leave for suburbia because the schools are better. And this comes with some of that fatherhood element of like, shit, I got to provide for this thing. And I either have to do it monetarily or I have to do it locationally. You start caring about it in a really weird way. It's not something you chose to care about or even chose to take an active interest in. It just clicks like that whole providing thing. And the thing is, is that the literature states it doesn't matter. I mean, it matters in the sense that, you know, if the school is riddled with bullets and I'm, you know, or gun violence or just low performing academics, then yeah, your kid could be at a disadvantage. But there's a certain level in which continuing to reach for the stars does not provide any more of an advantage. And in the original Freakonomics book, they talked about how parenting, it's not about finding the best school. It's not about finding the best materials. It's not about being a perfect parent. It's about being someone who would so desperately care to try to find those things that leads to being a good father or a good parent. It's not about doing it right. You're gonna do things mostly wrong by many measures because you can only learn by doing. And then you get better at it. And then you get better at it. And then you get better at it. You see that your kids are really, really resilient, especially boys, and I'll touch on that in a second. And it'll be okay. You know, early on it's new. You're kind of wondering what these little creatures are and they are both, they're a little helpless, but as one of my doctor clients said, if they came out and their parts were on the other side of the room, they'd find their way back together early on. Like that kid's will be broken and then put back together really quick when they're really, really young. But then you've got to start kind of, you start thinking about this stuff and it's never even entered your world before. And it's just a weird concern that shows up.


Welcome to the Pyramid Insider, friends. My name is Tyler Patner, and today we have the brand new AirVentury Avengex here in the Woodstock .22 caliber. Let's dive in. The Avengex was launched at Shot Show 2023 to a lot of fanfare. AirVentury's new flagship, obviously, building on the success of their Avenger, kind of why it shares some of the name. But you have a lot of different options with this gun because it's built as a modular platform. You can change the stock styles. You have this Woodstock option. You have a synthetic stock option. You have a tactical stock setup and a bullpup configuration right now. But you can change them at will, kind of do what you want with it. Caliber interchangeability, air source interchangeability. You have the tube option you see here. You got a bottle option. So there's a lot of cool stuff going on with this gun. Let's dive into the details here. So starting off at the front of the gun, we do have a threaded cap here. There are half 20 threads underneath here. YouTube doesn't like us taking on and putting on stuff. So we'll just leave that on there for now. But there is an integrated baffle stack that does capture the end of the barrel. So it helps to center it, keep everything in line in there. And of course, you have a fully shrouded barrel. It's a 22.8 inch barrel on here. And that is the same in 1, 7, 7, 22, and 25. Of course. Cool thing about the barrel kit setup is the barrel kits are going to come with everything you need. So if you do buy the gun and you want to change calibers later, you buy the barrel kit. It is a fully shrouded barrel setup. So you just swap that over. You swap over the bolt probe and it even comes with a magazine as well. So pretty much everything you're going to need to get shooting in that new caliber right away. Now, dropping down underneath of our barrel shroud here, we have a 210 CC air cylinder. And this has a quick disconnect fill fitting on the end here. It's under this knurled cap. But you have the same fill system on the bottle version as well, which is almost double the air capacity. But still, the 210 CC air cylinder is going to give you plenty of shots. We'll put it out on the range and see exactly what it does at its current tune. And that kind of works into the next part of this. So of course, this is the wood stock version, but you do have other stock versions as well. The gun's still fully adjustable for power. So you have your regulator adjustment on the underside of the stock there. You have your hammer spring adjustment at the back of the action. And you also have an integrated transfer port adjustment. And that's really your quick change power there. You have two settings, a high and a low power setting. And that's going to make going up and down really, really fast, really easy without having to deal with all of the tuning elements. But you have those three mechanisms for changing power, which are going to obviously influence your shot count. So that is something we will test, but we'll test it kind of as it's set up right now because it's shooting quite well. But when we get on the range, we'll talk more about that. So on the tube versions of the gun, the barrel band is going to have two O-rings inside of it. The reason I bring this up, if you want to free float your barrel, you can remove the O-ring from the barrel band here. And that is going to free float it. You can actually do the same thing with the air cylinder side if you wanted to. You certainly don't have to. It's shooting just fine as is. But again, your mileage may vary. You might want to play with some of that stuff on your own. You do have a full metal picatinny rail that we've mounted this bipod to. And what you'll notice is there's a big through hole here. And that's because your stock is actually connected to that barrel band, not the rail itself. So mounting a bipod, shooting from a bipod shouldn't influence your point of impact or anything like that. Now dropping back on the gun to the breach here, we do have two color coded gauges. So your red gauge, it says fill pressure on it. The gun fills to 4350 psi and both the tube and the bottle do fill to that pressure. And then, of course, on the left hand side of the action, we have our blue gauge, which is regulator pressure. And that's going to constantly display what the regulator pressure is set at. Of course, as long as your fill pressure is above it. So something to keep in mind if you're new to adjustable regulated guns that you will want to make sure your fill pressure is higher than your reg pressure. But even when you're making adjustments, you'll be able to see that when you do it on the gauge that needle will adjust as you increase pressure. Again, increasing pressure is totally okay under pressure. So meaning when there's air in the cylinder, you can bump the reg up in pressure. But if you want to go down, you do need to degas the gun and you do that by way of this screw right here in the left hand side of the action. Simple Allen key, very easy to pop it loose and vent the air and then you can make your adjustments downward, refill the gun and get it set how you want it. One thing I should note there as well, the gun does come with all the Allen keys in terms of the sizes that you're going to need to work on it, remove stocks, degas, it change barrels, all of that stuff is included. So good to know it also comes with some extra seals. In addition to some other bits we'll get to in a minute. But this breach is all one piece. So solid aluminum breach, no more plastic cover with the metal scope rails, nothing like that. This is one solid piece Picatinny rail only for mounting your optics. So keep that in mind. This does not have that dual rails. So pick mounts are what you're going to want to get or weaver mounts, of course. And then sliding back, you will notice this this cut out with the AV logo on the left hand side. And what that is is actually a cover plate for your side lever. You can swap the lever from the right hand to the left hand side.  That's the entire point of this gun.  We did touch on that transfer port adjustment. One thing that I wanted to bring up about the capabilities of the gun on the high side, your power is I believe in 22, right around 50 foot pounds max is what it's rated for. But what the transfer port adjustment allows you to do is choke off the transfer port inside of the barrel and actually get those low power tunes that the Avenger does not do very well, which will increase your shot count a lot. So something you can play with if you're shooting in the winter indoors or something like that or you're doing testing in a barn, you don't want to over penetrate an animal, things like that. That is going to be a really good tool for you to get those low power tunes dialed in. Side lever action is quite smooth on the gun, very easy to pull back. You do have a bolt here that goes through the linkage that you might want to keep an eye on from time to time. Just make sure it's nice and snug, just something to keep an eye on. Your safety located on the right hand side, that hunter style safety. You got that red dot there. It's hot, ready to go, ready to fire.  With the breach open though, let's talk about what the gun comes with magazine wise and single shot tray. You do have a single shot tray that's going to be included with every gun, not included with the caliber change kits. With those caliber change kits, you're going to get a standard capacity magazine. This is the same mag you have for the Avenger. This is a 10 round mag in 177 and 22 and an 8 round mag in 25. This is nice, compact, easy to use and they're really affordable and expensive, but the gun does also come with this new high capacity magazine. This is a 16 round mag in 22 and 177, it's 20 rounds. In 25 caliber, it's 13 rounds. A huge upgrade in terms of that mag capacity, but you will need to take into account where your scope is mounted and how high your scope is mounted in order to use this. That's why they included both there. You have that option if you want to go with a lower scope mount setup, still able to use that mag without issue or run it in single shot. Decocking the gun, very simple.  Really easy to do, no issues there, very standard procedure. Dropping down to the trigger, the trigger pack itself is a much beefier setup than what we saw on the Avenger. You do also have some more sear engagement adjustment here. One thing to note for those of you that are looking to really fine tune that sear engagement, there are some washers on the adjustment screw that will prohibit you from going too far, meaning prohibit you from making the gun unsafe or unable to cock the action and actually get that sear to set on the hammer. In those instances, you can remove those washers to fine tune it, but just know that you can run it in too far. Something to play with for those of you guys that are looking to adjust that trigger, those fine little increments there, you can do that with this trigger, something you couldn't really do with the Avenger. Now the wood stock on this gun looks really, really nice. The ones we saw at Shot Show were a lighter stain, looks like they've darkened that up, looks like just beach, but really nice setup overall. Add some nice weight, good feel to this. You have a dual raised cheek piece on this gun. It is not adjustable. The synthetic stock, classic stock, does have an adjustable cheek piece if that's what you're after. Actually the bullpup does as well and of course the tactical has an AR adjusting stock, but you have a rubber butt pad at the back. You have a swivel stud at the rear as well as a sling point mount at the front on the back of the metal rail. That's really the gun in a nutshell here. The important part though is what it does over the chronograph and downrange in terms of accuracy. So let's head out to the range and see how the Avengex performs. All right, so taking the Avengex straight out to 45 yards, tested pretty much everything we have on hand as far as pellets go. We didn't do slugs. The gun's not set up right now for slugs. In a future video, we'll tune one up nice and hot and shoot some slugs through it and see what it does. But with pellets, it shot a ton of stuff well. What you're about to see are only really the best three, I guess.  So starting off first, we've got the JTS 18 grain pellets, those dead centers, right at 0.95, so under an inch there for 10 rounds. Now one thing you'll notice is that I was able to use both of the magazines here because of the way I have the scope position. We could actually get, you know, load this up with just 10 rounds and fit the big mag in there, which is nice. Makes things a little faster on my end. But another thing to note about these JTS is they are a little hard to load in, especially compared to the JSBs. The JSBs are like butter smooth.  One of our surprises, the Umarex brimstone pellets, these are a little bit heavier, but 10 shots 0.85, so pretty solid grouping there. That's going to be a minute of squirrels ahead every time. But certainly by far the best JSB 1813 jumbo heavies 0.65 all 10. That's a beautiful group. Exactly what we've come to expect out of like Avengers, so really why should the Avenge X be any different. We'll run through the rest of our testing now, trigger, sound, all of that stuff, put it over the chronograph at its current tune and see what it's doing. And depending on the results we get, maybe retune it, but let's get it over the chronograph first and see what happens. So right out of the box, the Avenge X 22 cal numbers here don't look too bad. The regs at 2000 psi, three and a half turns in on the hammer spring, which is probably a little hot. We're coming in at an average velocity of 917 feet per second, over 58 shots, which is just under 34 foot pounds of energy, but our extreme spread is pretty high, 31 feet per second. Standard deviation looks okay, we had a lot of duplicates in there, but again, we're a little hot. What I'd like to see is the gun more closer to 888, 90 or so versus that 917, and you'll notice that the entire string kind of descends as we go, and then once we fall off the reg, the velocity spiked back up a bit. That usually indicates that our regulator and hammer spring settings are out of alignment. So what we're going to do is we're going to retune the gun, hopefully drop that reg pressure down a little bit, and then bring that hammer spring all the way out and then kind of retune things, and we'll show you that here in just a second. So we're going to retune the avengex, kind of give it a protune so we can lose some of that descending shot string that we saw. To do that, we're going to drop the reg pressure a bit. Now when you raise the reg pressure up, if we were going to power tune it, let's say, you could just make that adjustment without degassing the gun, but since we're going to go lower on that regulator, we do need to degass it. So you're going to need a 3 millimeter allen key to do so. It comes with the gun, it comes with every size you're going to need to work on it from an allen key standpoint. So let's go ahead and degass right into that side, and now before we retighten, we want to check both gauges. So in this case, our fill pressure gauge is at zero, which is what it's supposed to be, but it does look like our reg gauge, our regulator or plenum is holding a little bit of pressure. So you're going to want to go ahead and dry fire the gun in a safe direction to clear that air. There you go. And now we're at zero. So now that our gun's empty, let's go ahead and retighten the bleed screw down just so we don't forget it later. Remember righty-tighty lefty-loosey folks. And then we will flip the gun over to expose our reg adjustment screw. Now that is a flathead screwdriver, we'll just go ahead and take that, and you want to go clockwise until it stops. And that's dead stop. Now what the manual says is that you want to come back about a quarter of a turn. Quarter is a lot. I'm going to just bump it a little bit, just to see where it opens up, and then we'll work it up from there. All right, so now that we've made that adjustment pretty much all the way down on that reg, we will go ahead and fill the gun up. You don't need to fill it all the way up to forty-three fifty to do this just over what your intended reg pressure is. So we'll try and get it to about three thousand psi. That'll give us more than enough room. All right, so we've aired the gun up. We'll put the cap back on. And you can see our reg is sitting right at about fifteen hundred psi or so. Now that's probably a little lower than we want, but that's okay. We're going to shoot for about eighteen hundred. And of course we've got over three thousand psi and probably about thirty three hundred or so. Now to go ahead and bump that adjustment up, let's flip the gun back over. So now we're going to take our flat head screwdriver, and we're going to begin to open the reg up, build a little bit more pressure there by adjusting counterclockwise. Now you guys are going to be focused on that reg gauge right there. I am also going to be focused on that. So we're going to go little by little and see if we can get that like right to eighteen hundred. All right, just gently open her up. See that needle coming up? I want to get to about that third mark there. Right about there. All right, so we should be, yep, right about eighteen hundred. I'm going to drive her this a few times just to make sure it settles in that area. But then we'll head back out to the range, put it over the chronograph, start messing with that hammer spring adjustment until we find our balance point, right? Hopefully about eight eighty, eight ninety feet per second. All right, so we've got our JSB 1813's out here and the reg settled right nicely just as we thought right about eighteen hundred seventeen fifty or so. Now we're going to adjust the hammer spring. Now to fine tune the hammer spring we're really looking for the velocity now. So we've got our reg pressure down into the range where we needed it based off our previous chronograph string. But that was with three and a half turns in on that hammer spring. So now we want to kind of run the hammer spring hopefully a little bit lighter maybe one one and a half turns but we need to start and see where we're at. So let's take a first shot here. All right, so eight twenty seven eight thirty. Okay, so right around eight hundred and thirty feet per second. So we're about fifty FPS off of where we want to be. So Allen key two and a half mil in the back. So I'm going to give it one full turn. So there's a half and one. All right, let's see where we're at with one turn in on that hammer spring. Now usually it might take a couple shots to settle but that was eight seventy seven pretty much right where we want to be. Eight seventy one and eight seventy nine. I'm going to give it just a touch more. About a quarter turn or so. There we go. Eight eighty six. Eight seventy six. Still settling. Eight eighty one. Perfect. Eight eighty one again. All right, so now that we've got our settings we're at about seventeen fifty to eighteen hundred PSI on that regulator. We've got our transfer port adjuster opened up on high and now we've got our hammer spring in one and a quarter turns. Now I'm going to fill it up to 300 bar and we're going to re chronograph it and see if we've got our nice stable tune. Looking over our post tune numbers. Remember this is a quick easy tune. I didn't put a lot of time into this. We definitely could shrink that extreme spread if we put some more time into it. But you can see immediately the numbers are a lot tighter the extreme spreads a lot tighter and we're getting way more shots and that's really what the Avenge X is all about. You're looking at an average of eight hundred and eighty feet per second thirty one foot pounds or so. This is a lot better a lot more consistent string than what the gun came factory tuned at. So again just with a little bit of time and a little bit of effort you can get these results exactly where you want them and really that's what the Avenge X is all about giving you the ability to tune the gun your way. All right let's wrap up the Avenge X. Before we start there though I should tell you all that I am heavily biased in this review okay I had a fairly heavy hand in the design of the gun and some of the bells and whistles on it so I am biased I will admit that but I hope today we've shown you that the gun certainly performs quite well for in that middling like five to six hundred dollar price point for the one you see here in front of you this is a lot of gun for the money with a lot of bells and whistles built in that really no one else that I'm aware of anyway is doing on the market in the price point to have the caliber interchangeability you know to be able to swap that lever over from the right to the left stock interchangeability and then retaining all of those power adjustments that you guys love out of the Avenger this gun's got a lot going for it and I think you guys are going to love it and hopefully we've shown you that it's a solid performer that's that's the whole point so really pleased with the gun overall accuracies great shot count is phenomenal at least in this twenty two caliber obviously that tune is going to change some things a bit depending on what ammo you're running how you want to run the gun but all of that is at your fingertips and that's what's so cool about the Avengex as a platform so I hope you guys like it let us know sound off in the comments if you're going to be picking one up if you thought the performance was as good as I think it is and of course don't forget to like and subscribe we appreciate y'all for watching thank you very much for the insider I'm Tyler Patner we'll see you next time
