  1. At a coal mine in Elgin. Who knew? Any way it was shut down years ago and the are doing a reclamation project. They couldn’t sell the old drag lines so they are tearing them down and selling off the parts.
  2. It was $50k and I’ve heard it’s not uncommon for artists to give out bonuses at the end of tours her stuff is just more publicized. I’d fit right in with the carnies but no. Big pop country acts mostly. (I’ll keep my opinions on artists to my self because I really want this job)
  3. Ole sparkle cake is back up and running. Had a few loads to shake the new motor down. So far so good. but now I’m looking at changing companies again. My current company is down to one active customer and they don’t have enough to keep company trucks and owner ops moving at the same time. I been talking to Stage Call and will be trying out the entertainment industry for a while. Seems like the only thing that slows them down is global pandemics. (Damn I probably shouldn’t have said that)
  4. Wasn’t me. I was visiting family in SC.
  5. Tap x to hike the ball and it auto hands off to HB. Hold x to keep the ball with the qb and then your pass options are available.
  6. Anyone else losing the coach up grade coins in Dynasty? They show after the game but when I go back to the hub they are gone.
  7. How in the fuck does the other teams DB always jump 20 feet in the air 10 yards away from the ball to swat it down on every fucking pass while my DB politely waits for them to catch the ball for a 49 yard gain on 3rd and 20?
  8. This was a bridge on I20 in Baird, Tx. the overpass at the loves if you know where that is.
  9. New indoor arena for Tarleton State in Stephenville, Tx IMG_0320.mov
  10. While I wait to get my truck back here is a pic of setting a bridge on 29 in Lubbock.
  11. I do not recommend blowing a steer tire on I-10 running nearly 80mph. It will get your heart pumping but it’s not a fun experience. the truck is a loaner while mine is having heart replacement surgery.
  12. I get that. But if I don’t want to do something I can tell them to fuck off. And I REALLY don’t like having to ask if I can go home.
  13. With the new ones you start preparing for an in frame around 500k and hope to get 600-700 out of it.
  14. I had 2 options. Do an in frame or swap motors. The swap was a little more expensive if you don’t figure in lost revenue due to down time. The long block alone was $30k. I’m going to be looking at around $50k out the door.
  15. That’s awesome that you’d even think to do that but it’s really not necessary and I wouldn’t feel comfortable accepting it. I’m lazy and forgetful but I promise to try and post more on here. 7FD139CD-BDBA-46F8-A5DB-AA82470C530F.mov Out with the old.
  16. That’s pretty similar to my reaponse
  17. Anyone in the market for some gently used oil pump bearings? Here’s the story. Had a low oil pressure warning so I shut it down. Was able to get an oil pressure sensor. (With these new motors it’s always a sensor and never actually mechanical) replaced the sensor and it didn’t fix the issue. So I changed the oil filter. It’s rare but filters have been known to collapse. Fired it up after the filter change and everything went back to normal. I drove the truck for another week without incident. Then it happened again. I was in Stephenville. My shop is in Liberty Hill. This might be where I fucked up. I was showing 20-22psi where normal operating range is 24-30psi. Instead of paying for the tow to the shop which would have been a couple of grand I decided to limp it in. The shop pulled the pan and found the bearings were fucked and that the crank was blued. NOT GOOD! here is my current situation 460,000 miles
  18. I am alive and still a slacker. But I did start an Instagram for ole Sparkle Cake if anyone is into that sort of thing. Apparently I’m too dumb to link it. @SPARKLE_CAKE_389
  19. Been getting some of that new Big XII money lately.
  20. the final result sucked but probably the best time I’ve ever had watching a game.
  21. Juice City Lounge in James Cistern on the island of Eleuthera is now officially a Longhorn Bar. Tell Santee and Rodna Russell sent ya.
  22. Does anyone remember the Baylor beer thief story?
  23. Apparently Tech is spending their new tv money. Thankfully they are sharing some of it with me.
