  3. Fake……that ain’t Roger Taylor on the drums.
  4. The second time there I left town on one of these….
  5. The first time I was in Oakland I got outta town on this ship….
  6. I took this pic in of Mansfield dam in 2016…three floodgates were open in that one. It was pretty loud from our vantage point.
  7. They are hand made by little old omas in Lolla, Germany.
  8. I am honestly shocked Maxwell hasn’t committed “suicide” yet or died from “natural causes”. But evidently she has a hidden time bomb as insurance.
  9. His username.
  10. Jimbo, the sitting national championship coach was a sure thing. He’s #1 in his profession - drawing $9,000,000/year for sitting….doing nothing.
  11. Mrs. Brat just made a one night reservation at the Holiday Inn Express in her hometown of Taylor, Texas so we could attend her high school reunion October 10th. $319 freakin’ Dollars for one night at a run of the mill joint in a small Texas town? I am flabbergasted!!
  12. Sounds like Oakland has gone downhill since Captain Jack Hays was the city’s first mayor.
  13. Bought this $80 Seiko for 1/2 off about 15 years ago. Keeps perfect time compared to my old Timexes. Am a cheap mofo.
  14. I’d love to have a plain blued one though.
  15. The RAF pilot’s story: RIP Alan Pollock, RAF Hawker Hunter pilot who in 1968 famously flew through Tower Bridge in protest at defence cuts. This ended up being his last flight as an RAF pilot and ended his Air Force career. It is now the stuff of Legend. Rest in peace Sir, we salute you. The first time I heard the Alan Pollock Hunter story was from a friend who was working as a RAF flight line mechanic at West Raynham on the day this happened 57 years ago. As the pilots landed they were arrested by RAF police who were initially unsure who the culprit was. The last pilot to land was Alan Pollock who arrived in style with an inverted low pass over the hangars. He also happened to have an AA street map of London in the cockpit. Well and truly busted out the RAF 'the Tower Bridge Incident' has gone down as a legendary piece of RAF history. Interesting fact not often mentioned about the incident, the 1 Squadron ground crew at Tangmere who dispatched the aircraft packed toilet roles behind the airbrake at Flt Lt Pollock’s request so he could drop them over Parliament! He buzzed the Houses of Parliament creating a mini-sonic boom just as MPs were debating the problem of aircraft Jet noise!
  16. Bitcoin Korth - preorder for only $84,000…..
  17. Probably drank up all their inventory.
  18. Arlo Guthrie 2.0? Made me laugh though….
  19. One of my parents’ friends from Fort Worth (a TCU grad) was talking quite a bit 60 years ago about Kerrville being a great place to retire. It had that reputation then. One of my nephews (a UT grad) recently retired from the Kerrville PD with about 35 years service. He was the tallest cop on the force. He lives out of town in the county somewhere. His handcuffs were well acquainted with Johnny Foosball.
  20. US firearms manufacturing numbers - (long report): https://shootingindustry.com/discover/u-s-firearms-industry-today-report-2025/
  21. That was in 1968 and the pilot who did it and got into trouble for it, has just passed away
  22. Some of us don’t hang at the same level as others.
