  1. I'm fairly confident in my "tire spotting" abilities & will posit those are 38's, not 33's.

    I wear contacts most of the time because I want to use impact resistant glasses for work stuff (Milwaukee sunglasses). That's why I use readers. My regular glasses are progressives. When the contacts are out & I'm reading stuff via the phone, close stuff like my computer, I just take the glasses off because I don't like that "tilt your head" thing as noted [emoji3595].
  3. ...& then the cat links itself somewhere with a "Yeah? So what?" attitude.
  4. Growing up in South Florida in the 70's, I was convinced that killer bees were gonna totally take over all the warm climates & I was gonna have to move to Canada.
  5. Now to head over to her place & feed the dog. Up @ 0400, but hey... I didn't need surgery today.

    Airsoft thread

    Back to the ? about returns, Evike allows RMA's however the gun has to be in 100% pristine / resellable condition. Christmas for Monster was __X__ & he actually wanted __Y__ , so I did the RMA thing (shipping was @ my expense). He has 2 guns now & I also ordered a pair of Glock 19x's, one for him + one for me. "Green Gas", & that's something I have to do a bit more research on to see how it is different from cO². Even though it has been decades since i played competitively, I come from the world of paintball (was a very limited member of a Pro-Am team when I lived in South Florida) & that was 99.9% refillable cO² tanks for my AutoMag. Anyhow, as I get deeper into this stuff, I do enjoy the idea of MilSim & themed play vs. simply going out to spray & pray. A note for those going electric, pay attention to the batteries & other relateds: 1. Not all guns come with even a single battery & / or charger. You will probably want 2 batteries so you can charge one while on field with the other. 1a. As soon as you get to the field, look around for any available receptacle so you can get to that when needed, will not have to track down field staff who may be unavailable or busy, etc. 2. There are 2 different connectors for the batteries, so pay attention to what you need. If you have the wrong battery for your gun, there ARE adapters to go from A to B, however they may need more battery compartment space than the gun has available. 3. Weight... the better gun builds aren't only licensed for appearance, they have a solid look / feel / dimensions / weight & you're probably gonna want a sling for lugging that critter around all day. 4. Magazines... there's a "Mid Cap" & High Cap" variety, "Cap" meaning capacity & that's exactly what it reads, rounds contained. & Given the cost for the mags, you won't be reloading & ignoring your empties in the field as though you are on a house - to - house in Bagdad & it's taxpayers footing the bill. Also... the gun he got last year had some sort of a technical issue & I had to order a repair part that was supposedly better than the factory guts. The Texas Paintball shop has already installed this item & we are replacing the item they switched in (I am not fully clear on all of the sausage making for that process).. PS: There ARE Speedloaders available & the BB's come in a biodegradable product. I have only been to play 1× & that was when Monster had a birthday event in Jan '23, so I got in on 2 rounds. For the Austin area, Texas Paintball in Jonestown seems to be the best facility however it's a haul for is driving up from the boonies of Dripping Springs & I don't think many other fields exist around Central Texas. Most only do AirSoft on Sundays or occasional special events, Paintball all other days. ~discuss~ . . .
  7. ¿Bold? - Yes. ¿Size 40 font? - No.
  8. Blake Gideon has entered the chat.
  9. I'm in @BevoXV's neighborhood & there's a guy jogging up & down the street - with every stride, it looks like he's in that "I'm about to stop / wind down your jog" move.
  10. How do I get TapaTalk to do BOLD / Size 40 font?
  11. ¿But can he play? UT, Class of 20__ ?
  12. He is probably the Emcee.
  13. Riddle me these: • If the US Southern border truly IS "open" as many claim, why do those seeking to cross do so at night in very remote places, try to evade BPA's & hike across arid & dangerous country... ...instead of walk across during daylight hours & hop into a waiting vehicle? • If Texas actually DOES have the right to regulate all border points of entry & connected border land, then does that mean other states such as California, New York & Washington can also take control of regulating all borders for their land & border points? Does this not also apply to every border state? • Were you aware that the Trump controlled Homeland Security deported less people than Obama? • Are you aware that up until 3 days ago, there was a deal between the Biden administration & the Republicans to enact some legislation regarding border funding for agents, administrative judges & x-ray type drug detection machines (for legal points of entry, which is where most of the illegal drugs e ter the USA) but Trump scuttled it because "I don't want to give Biden a win"? ~Discuss~

    Reading glasses. Currently on a +1.5 Buying cheapies from Home Depot or HEEB... If I lose or damahe a pair, I won't worry about it, however the pair I use most has a hinge screw that keeps wanting to back out & obv. that's a hassle but also due to the cheapness. I have considered the ones that hang around your neck & have a magnet to connect @ the nose bur I don't want all of that "chain hanging around your neck" business. I'm thinking that's more of an "I'm over 70" thing. So - what's your personal philosophy on readers?
  15. Yours actually names a particular place? Lucky you. When mine says "anywhere", I start rattling off places I know she won't actually want & upon "No... no, no" responses, I remind her "Well, you DID say "anywhere", right?" /tone
  16. What end of town are you in? Subdivision or acreage?
  17. She said "it's cold" however I need to see proof.
