  1. Very glad to hear this. I did treatments for depression way back before the beginning of this thread, hence my participation. I took medication for less than a year and learned some coping techniques that have kept me relatively trouble free and pharma free since. It still rears it's head once in awhile but I have been able to stare it down for the most part. Hang in there. It sounds like you have a good handle on it.
  2. Announcers were laughing that Billy Butler had 2 ABs needing only a single for the cycle and couldn’t get it done. Last best chance. BWJ up now. 3-2 count and he Strikes out swinging. Probably won’t get another AB.
  3. 2-3 good years out of the last 35? I don’t get to crow much.
  4. Bobby Witt Jr is a double shy of the cycle in the 3rd. Royals up 10 on Minny.
  5. This is the first I have seen of Texas or Tennesee this year. Does the eye bleeding stop after awhile?
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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
  9. Breakfast in Tucumcari yesterday. Had 2 beef and beans, 2 chimi whatever’s. The weapon is just out of frame.
  10. 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.
  11. Thanks. I usually do the Pampa route when going that way. Scentsy, yo.
  12. 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.
  13. Same here, 80 to 18. It was remarkable how rapidly it went from 60 to 25 last evening, about 3 hours
  14. 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/
  15. 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.
  16. If this lasts for 4 hours Imma sue your ass
  17. Thanks for that link. I know what I'll be doing for the rest of the day.
  18. 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.
  19. Remember, this is the organization that let Beltran walk over a $1M difference. Not per year but over the life of the contract. I'm still not sold on our GM but it looks like ownership has deeper pockets than ever before.
  20. Bobby Witt Jr signs with the Royals long term. He has opt outs after 7 but I am gobsmacked. Better than I thought this FO would do. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39464757/sources-bobby-witt-jr-agrees-11-year-2888m-deal-royals
  21. "A few more bible studies and prayer circles and he'll be fine" - Dayton Moore
  22. I prefer my prostitutes sans penis.
  23. A racist POS or several RPOSs tore down a statue of Jackie Robinson outside a little league baseball complex in Wichita. It was found, beyond repair, yesterday. https://www.kmuw.org/news/2024-01-30/league-42s-jackie-robinson-statue-found-destroyed A go-fund me has been organized to get it replaced and help fund the local non-profit that runs the league. I think it would be awesome if the efforts of these shitstains would backfire and serve as a springboard for even more racial harmony. https://www.gofundme.com/f/replace-our-stolen-jackie-robinson-statue
  24. Seems as though it was fucked, just like we all thought. In a release sent out by IMSA late Monday, the error was explained: Due to an officiating error in race control, IMSA inadvertently announced and subsequently displayed the white flag with under three minutes remaining in the race. At the end of the lap, the race-leading No. 7 GTP car then received the checkered flag with 1 minute, 35.277 seconds still remaining, ending the race short of the planned 24 hours by effectively one lap. Based on Article 49 of the 2024 IMSA Sporting Regulations and Standard Supplementary Regulations, should the checkered flag be inadvertently or otherwise displayed before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps or before the prescribed time has been completed, the race is nevertheless deemed ended when the flag is displayed. https://www.autoweek.com/racing/more-racing/a46575517/inadvertent-checkered-flag-ends-rolex-24-early/
