  1. I did a lot of that out on the family land near Briggs 40 years ago with each of my three boys.
  2. Mrs. Brat was 5’2” when we married. Now she tops out at 5’ even. I used to be 6’ even. Gravity lowered that to 5’10””.
  3. Seems like somebody fucked up bigtime.

  5. 73 years ago my oldest brother hit a hole in one here in the moat at San Juan, Puerto Rico’s El Morro fortress when it was a 9 hole golf course on the grounds of the US Army post of Fort Brooke. The tee box was at the upper far end, and the golfer had to drive the ball over the bridge - doglegging left (towards the right in the picture) to the sand “green” which was out of sight. The caddies would sit on the bridge to signal to the golfer how well he/she had done. My brother’s caddie got so excited yelling & waving his arms that he almost fell off the bridge. In the 3.5 years we were stationed at Fort Brooke, it was the only hole in one scored on that particular hole. General Bathers’ (the commanding general of the Caribbean Antillies Command) wife, an avid golfer herself, painted a nice water color picture of my 14 year old brother’s feat….and it included the Puerto Rican caddie waving excitedly on the bridge. The picture still hangs in Brother’s home office.
  6. Samsung’s $15 Billion chip plant between Taylor & Hutto nearing completion. That has caused skyrocketing land prices locally, and is why we paid $311 to spend one night at the new Holiday Inn Express for Mrs. Brat’s Taylor Duck high school reunion a few weeks ago….
  7. Austin area?
  8. Brown shoulda supplied him with these…..
  9. Ok then - How about a pic of a happy hour shrimp quesadilla plate from Santiago’s?
  10. Still no change…..
  11. That’s nice - Sounds like she may have a cold though.
  12. Yeah, I have a Planters peanut can full of wheat pennies. Maybe I’ll be able to retire now. Have another can full of WW2 steel pennies.
  13. Heidelberg? That’s where my 4ggrandfather came from in 1753. The Burgermeister probably ran him out of town for being an asshole.
  14. That Vladimir Solovyov clown really should have his show syndicated on the Comedy Channel. There’s a lot of Moe Howard in his schtick.
  15. Too bad us poors had to make do with old junkers like my .30-30 made in 1914…
  16. My .357 SP101 at 26 ounces is quite a handful, but not that bad. It serves as my road trip car gun, and out of the car I carry it in this leather bag with two speed loaders slung over the shoulder like a “man purse”.
  17. Yes, the Banzai charge was a complete surprise and pretty bloody. He took these pics afterwards:
