    Getting old sucks

    Thanks, but I’ve had 4 stent implant procedures and an aortic valve replacement that all went in through that section of femoral artery over the past 25 years. It probably looks like a pin cushion. 2nd time in 2003 produced the worst bruise - from my right knee up to the belly button and to the small of the back. That’s when the nurses had to use their hand pressure for at least 30 minutes to help it clot. Those were very awkward conversations. The newfangled “plugs” that seal it upare a godsend. My retired police officer nephew in the Kerrville area had his ablation done Tuesday in San Antonio. His retirement hobby is bbq catering, and he is serving 150-200 people at a Super Bowl party in Kerrville today.

  10. Is this actually happening, or is it just some entities saying it could possibly happen? All I’ve read online are warnings by a school district that it could happen at the border checkpoints. If it is a real occurrence then that is certainly a shitty tactic.
  11. It is a quality little rifle. My older brother owns it now.
  12. Buddy Holly's last show, 66 years ago today. That's Waylon Jennings playing bass behind him on the left. An hour and a half after this picture, Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper would be dead.
  13. I wear white socks with Skechers and drawstring shorts.
  14. Unhiinged fantasy.
  15. On a related note…..
  16. My grandpa was a crack shot too. When rheumatic fever caused him to be bed-ridden for a whole year in the late 1890s, his dad gave him a .22 rifle to target shoot out his bedroom window. He became quite proficient, but did get a month time out after his parents came home on their wagon from shopping in town and caught him shooting tin cans off his sister’s head. In his teen years he was banned from the carnival shooting galleries whenever they came to his county periodically because the barkers quickly learned that gangly kid would clean them out of prizes. Anyway, here he is with his last .22 - a Reminigton semiauto that was chambered for shorts only. Lots of squirrels were put on the dinner table:
  17. Oughta throw in a waterfront property big enough for a golf resort.
  18. Better be careful about messin’ with the Canucks…..
  19. Finally scored from the red zone.
