  1. Well, first you start with the ones who actually WANT to fix it or give a shit about doing that.
  2. Be sure to ask your questions during halftime.
  3. If you showed up not wearing a Burnt Orange do-rag, I wouldn't know what to do. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    Getting old sucks

    Good thing your hospital was available with space - too much Covid-19 going on. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  6. "...the family declined to say whether he was vaccinated or not" is an easy way to say "Nope."
  7. Are you admitting culpability? Because we ALL know it was never "our fault".
  8. How about an asking price? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  9. Have the teams already been set this early in the season? I thought that didn't happen until around late November. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  10. *not sure why Tapa doubled up on the "seafood" pic. I only have it 1x. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  11. Why do I get the feeling OP sells Rodan+Fields? Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

  13. They are going after the old who still use checks & sbail mail. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  14. Nah, they only put that in there so you would be able to tell the size. ...It's shown for scale. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

  16. Get some pics (including serial #) of the guns (Luger especially) & post them here. I'm certain we have some readers that can identify some stuff. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  17. I have my Grandfather's Ike jacket from the PTO in WW2, complete with the Ruptured Duck & that will be going to my Son. I started a similar thread about this same topic prob. 1½ years ago & a lot of responses came back about various heirloom guns with sentimental value & where those would eventually end up. ArmyBrat discussed the tree branch he used to club Mrs. Brat for their engagement back in the Paleolithic era. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk
  18. Those can be the worst sorts of people because to them, it's just motivation / impetus / moving chits around on the game board / proving a point whereas to others, it's food on the table or a mortgage payment. Not saying this is the type of imbalance working here, but even if you're a Mercedes leasing guy, the other side can be a "2 seasonal houses & a private plane" guy. Also: Don't sell. Land is the one thing they ain't making more of (occasional mid-Pacific volcanoes notwithstanding). That $$ will always be there & maybe even one day, without any heirs, you could donate it to the Nature Conservancy or some-such. My Mom has something like 1/16th in an oil property somewhere around Pelican, Lousy-Anna & if it splits between me & my brother, based on today's income we'll each get around $ 50 per month. I'd like to buy out my Uncle, but I doubt he'd sell & like me, wants to have it just for shits & giggles.
  19. Truck not running, blown engine. Got a replacement that is 1 year newer & ALL related aftermarket components (bolt on type accessories) that I wanted from the old truck were not to convey. Buyer mostly just wanted the transmission. Sold truck approx 9 months ago. Buyer shows up faster than I wanted, has flatbed with winch. In a hasty run, "we" (all of us... me + buyer & his pals) removed grill guard, headache rack &... I think one or two other items. I recorded video on phone (& sent to him via text so we both have a record of this transaction) stating I would track down the title (again, he shows up faster than I was able to reasonably accommodate) & trade that out for the other components: - Side step bars - LED fog lights (Rigid brand, best in the business), D.O.T. approved, replacements for factory location. - Aftermarket tail lights (LED) - Aftermarket headlights (Dodge / Ram is notorious for shitty headlights & tail lights) - Curt trailer brake controller - Swing out side step (for access to the truck box; step bars noted above were only long enough for front & back doors on crew cab) Moving ahead to August & I notified him I had the title & was coming up in around 2 weeks or so (when I could get a friend to help me peel off all sorts of parts as noted above). Had a couple of delays & eventually it was like 20 odd days or so after that "I'm gonna get up thataways soon" when we actually make it up there. . . . Day prior to trip, he says "My Dad will be there, not me." I finally get to the shithole of Mart with my friend (E of Wacko, a 2½ hour drive for me) where the truck is supposed to be @ his Dad's shop & find the truck has been stripped of all sorts of stuff - not a surprise, it's not mine anymore. What he did NOT tell me is the truck was now heavily overgrown in weeds & Dad says "Yeah, I told him to letcha know it was high in the brush. I cain't do nothin' 'bout that" The front wheels were off (& maybe the back; couldn't see them), no reasonable way to drag the truck forward or even lift it so I have reasonable access to the step / Nerf bars or single swing out step, headlights & tail lights are gone, the brake controller is gone, the LED fogs are gone (& in a text he says "The foglights didn't work" to which I responded "They are / were Rigid - lifetime warranty & could have been repaired if that's true") & as much as I wanted to say it, I left out "hey, fucknut..." All together, it's close to $ 1,000.00 in parts if full retail, not even including the labor. Now, stay with me here - I'm already ahead of y'all that are saying "Shit, if you win he's probably judgment proof under generally being a deadbeat & shitty human. Isn't living in Mart penalty enough?" From reading HF / Shaggy-B / Shaggy-H / Surly all these years, I'm thinking the 1st thing is make a roux. 1. Then: Send formal sounding text telling him my request for compensation or for the parts & that he @ least meet me in Temple (more than ½ on my end) to hand over the goodies or full $$ on material alone. 2. If I am ignored or maybe even get a "suck it" response, send strongly worded letter via certified mail (to the address where pops has his shitty workshop). Explain my request / demands & reasons why. 3. If fully ignored from there & having been returned a receipt of letter, file in JP Court. 4. ??? 5. Profit. ...if Small claims, can I drag his ass down here to Hays County? Do I have to drive up there to visit with the fine officers of the court system in McClennan County? Because obviously I would much rather have the venue down here with me. So, what sayeth thee, Opinionated Court of Shaggravation?
  20. Remember when Weiner made that grand speech from the House floor to an almost empty chamber? It was railing against something quite obvious ("You must NOT say the sky is blue!" type generic shit) & he was for around 10 seconds celebrated as Mr. Awesomesauce...
