  1. This is the first I have seen of Texas or Tennesee this year. Does the eye bleeding stop after awhile?
  2. I spent Sunday afternoon at Pima A&S in Tucson. Two of the ugliest fuckers that ever flew. the Starship is special to me because they did a lot of test flights over our farm back in the day. I can identify that sound from miles away.
  3. I was at The Pima Air and Space Museum in Tucson Saturday. They had a couple of these on display with the nickname on the plaque. I imagine that there were a lot of parents that weren't pleased to answer the question.
  4. Way back in the Shaggy days, I asked for dining info about Ballinger, TX. I was told to try Lowake Steakhouse and Allsups. Been to Lowake twice but have eaten from the choices at Allsups several times each trip. Thanks @Brisketexan
  5. Breakfast in Tucumcari yesterday. Had 2 beef and beans, 2 chimi whatever’s. The weapon is just out of frame.
  6. Looks a lot like both of mine did in 2005. I played golf or something similar 8 weeks after they were replaced. That looks pretty good. I’m sitting in a holiday inn express as I type this and it looks good to me.
  7. Thanks. I usually do the Pampa route when going that way. Scentsy, yo.
  8. I am driving to Amarillo tomorrow and had planned to stop in Turpin, OK to visit relatives on the way. Is there a safe route from Turpin to Amarillo that won't put us in the way of those fighting the fires? I will go to OKC and take I-40 to Amarillo if it isn't advisable to drop in from the north.
  9. Same here, 80 to 18. It was remarkable how rapidly it went from 60 to 25 last evening, about 3 hours
  10. Ebay has been a good source for restoring my Granddad's old stuff but the forums at The Garage Journal were really helpful with the more obscure stuff. They have a classified section and specialized forums for just about any brand you might have. https://www.garagejournal.com/
  11. I have some sort of hearing/cognitive issue that doesn't allow me to understand the lyrics the first few times I hear a song unless it is sung like a church hymn or somesuch. This was troubling before the internet because not all albums had a lyric sheet. I would look at sheet music at the music store to get shit figured out. Once I see the lyrics they are stuck in my head and I can hear the lyrics correctly. "Sinkhole" by DBT became much more meaningful after I did a lyric search. I want it played at my funeral.
  12. If this lasts for 4 hours Imma sue your ass
  13. Thanks for that link. I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the day.
  14. This is the second time you have made me close my office door and get myself composed. You are a hell of a writer. Your daughter was a remarkable young woman.
