  1. It's removable so that it can be personalized or embroidered. Checking other forums it appears that it is some sort of state secret that Callaway and Titleist are guarding with their lives.
  2. A family member gifted me a 2024 Callaway ORG14 golf bag that is new with tags but missing the removable ball pouch cover. I don’t know why it is missing. The local pro called Callaway to see about getting a replacement. No dice. Do any of you knowledgeable sports know a way to get it replaced?
  3. Been in Kansas all my life and that's a new one to me, as well. Iowegians love their children more than we do.
  4. My daughter sent me this picture of a Gulf Marsh Snake. Her professor and a staff biologist had never seen one before. I’m not sure where in south texas they are but they were down there to observe baby gators. Edit to add that this was collected as part of a snake survey that Texas State is helping TWPD with.
  5. I'm pretty sure it's mostly made of fungus slathered in tar. Our house had it until we moved the house to a new location and replaced all of the sewer line with plastic.
  6. Back on the farm, as a young married man, MIL would boil the tongue on butchering day. She would refrigerate it and grind it the next day with pickle relish and onions to make a sandwich spread. It was good.
  7. We each had Grandparents that raised Rhubarb so it has always been a springtime ritual for us. ETA without the strawberries or mulberries to offset the sour it isn't very good.
  8. My wife and I are not good cooks or bakers, I would never try to compete with the crew that post in this thread. But I will post this picture of our first Rhubarb Strawberry pie of the season. We had to use store bought strawberries because ours aren't ready just yet. Our 3 Rhubarb plants are producing so much right now that we will use it about 10 different ways over the next 6 weeks. This pie will be gone by bedtime tomorrow.
  9. I have tried my hand at fried rice several times and have never been able to get as good as I get at a restaurant. Maddening. Probably something pretty simple that I'm botching but there it is.
  10. Cross posted from the Poor people food thread in Lulz. The rice was left over from Fridays gumbo. The milk was sour and we were out of half & half so I made do with real cream. It was fine.
  11. Tonight’s supper. Leftover rice from Fridays gumbo.
  12. Nicholls and one other person, don’t know if it was McVeigh or not,Broke into our local Martin Marietta quarry and took blasting caps and dynamite. I saw that motherfucker around town often and had no idea. They mixed it all up at a county fishing lake 20 miles north of us.
  13. Terry Nicholls was living in the country just outside of my hometown at the time. Once that connection was made the FBI and other LE agencies had a large presence here. A week or so before the bombing, I had rented a Ryder box truck in order to haul some tooling back to Kansas from a plant in Lincoln, IL. It stayed in the parking lot of our business until the tooling was repaired and I then drove it back to Lincoln. When I went to the airport to return home, the bomb had just gone off and all of the televisions in the airport were tuned to the special news report. A couple of days after I returned home, our company got a visit from the FBI because it had been reported that we had a Ryder truck sitting in our parking lot. They quickly checked the rental papers and ruled us out as suspects but it was pretty nerve wracking to say the least. The OKC Memorial is one of the most sobering monuments that I have visited. I highly recommend a visit.
  14. My mom used to make a pot of macaroni and sauteed onions. She then made a thin gravy using bacon drippings and poured it over the macaroni. Probably had less than 50 cents in the whole meal. I'll bet we ate that at least 3 times a month.
  15. My wife and I still do this from time to time. We are a long way from poor but some nights we just don't feel like doing much more than that. Another guilty pleasure is a pot of rice, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar with a splash of half and half.
