  1. Well, I won’t get to see it. However it has been amazing to see the transformation over the past 65 years.
  2. Get a 10 gauge to take down those ducks farther out.
  3. They sent the cardboard “booklet” last year, and said they will be mailed out again for this season.
  4. Some nice producers among these new wells in North Dakota’s Bakken (Lake Sakakawea in the background)
  5. Oh, I dunno about that. He could stomach making those TV ads for that annoying lawyer.
  6. We never stay past the 3rd quarter, as we can’t deal with the packed mobs exiting on San Jacinto anymore. Plus I don’t need to take another ambulance ride agai, and neither does the wife.
  7. Reminds me of the 1973 “Battle of the Sexes” farce where Billie Jean King whipped 55 year old big mouth Bobby Riggs in three straight sets 6/4, 6/3, 6/3. 30,000 watched it in the Astrodome along with 90 million on TV. IIRC, it was $100,000 - winner take all.
  8. Best I could get was Trinity….. after being in the Brazos garage for 15 years. fml
  9. General purpose knife - I don’t like having to go to the kitchen crap drawer, the workbench, or back to the car to fetch a knife to cut something. Plus I like the switchblade auto opening feature, as my current cheap knife is kinda clumsy to open & close.
  10. I have never carried a real knife before, just a little tiny Victorinox on my keychain. Now am considering this medium size Kershaw for EDC, but I know nothing about them. What say y’all? https://www.bladehq.com/item--Kershaw-Launch-18-Automatic-Knife--192064
  11. Last week, we took some friends out to a new restaurant, and noticed that the waiter who took our order carried a spoon in his shirt pocket. It seemed a little strange. When the waiter brought our water and cutlery, I noticed he also had a spoon in his shirt pocket. Then I looked around and saw that all the staff had spoons in their pockets. When the waiter came back to serve our soup I asked, "Why the spoon?" "Well, "he explained, "the restaurant’s owners hired Andersen Consulting to revamp all our processes. After several months of analysis, they concluded that the spoon was the most frequently dropped piece of cutlery. It represents a drop frequency of approximately 3 spoons per table per hour. If our staff are better prepared, we can reduce the number of trips back to the kitchen and save 15 man-hours per shift." As luck would have it, I dropped my spoon and he was able to replace it with his spare. "I’ll get another spoon next time I go to the kitchen instead of making an extra trip to get it right now." I was impressed. I also noticed that there was a string hanging out of the waiter’s zip on his trousers. Looking around, I noticed that all the waiters had the same string hanging from their flies. So before he walked off, I asked the waiter, "Excuse me, but can you tell me why you have that string right there?" "Oh, certainly!" Then he lowered his voice. "Not everyone is so observant. That consulting firm I mentioned also found out that we can save time in the rest-room. By tying this string to the tip of you know what, we can pull it out without touching it and eliminate the need to wash our hands, shortening the time spent in the rest-room by 76.39 per cent." I asked "After you get it out, how do you put it back?" "Well," he whispered, "I don’t know about the others, but I use the spoon."
  12. Oh, he’s lurked here before….and has traveled the States numerous times, so he knows the score. Plus he’s a former RAF veteran of the Falkland Islands War and the Lebanon “troubles” 40 years ago. He has “seen the Elephant “.
  13. Yes, the locals I know also recommend that place as probably the best.
  14. My English friend has read this thread and will consider staying somewhere besides Greeley.
  15. A local Vegas friend recommends this place for some of the best Italian food in town, but it is pricey of course: https://www.bootleggerlasvegas.com
  16. Remember several years ago how aggy fought against Texas Tech establishing a new veterinary school, but big bad evil UT supported the Techsters? Seems the farmers were being their usual selfish & insecure selves, and someone should rub their punchable faces in this story and remind them of their inability to deal with reality and the good of the country. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/29/pet-care-animal-hospitals-veterinary-crisis/73096878007/#
  17. Back to Old School basics…
