  1. I'm sending some lurkers. I told them to chat up Jesus and to ask him about how to get involved in Burnt Ends.
  2. Think long and hard before you get rid of it. These new ones with all of the technology that you can't repair/maintain on your own are gonna be a bitch in the years to come. Spending that money to get the old truck running good is way better than spending maybe $40-50k on a new one. (Full disclosure -- I have a 1980 C-10 Step Side straight 6 cylinder that I use for my ranch truck. It isn't pretty, but it gets the job done and I know how it works.)
  3. That's actually some useless advice you are getting. Assuming that you sell timber at 1 day or 366 days after acquiring the property, your taxable "gains" would likely be minimal as the timber you sold is probably worth exactly what you paid for it. Putting $20k back in to the property would increase your overall basis for the next timber sale. There are some crazy gubmint programs that will pay you to plant new trees for more than it even costs you. Hire a competent forester to help you with this stuff.
  4. OK, I'm beginning to think that this is a fundraising ploy -- if you don't want to inundated with pop-up ads -- you need to up your current contribution levels. Amirite?
  5. One of you guys are doing too much pron and screwing things up for the rest of us.
  6. Yep. And stay away from Stemmons/I-30 because all of the Okie meth heads that can't afford a Dallas hotel room on Friday night will be coming in that way.
  7. Ad weirdness isn't just on mobile.
  8. Pretty sure that Brat took this picture.
  9. I'm generally not a fan of high-fenced ranches and/or breeding programs. That said, my current deer lease is around 10,000 acres and is high-fenced on three sides -- the highway side and for two neighboring small ranches to the east and the west. It is wide open where it adjoins another large ranch. We are working hard to develop some mature bucks and there ain't none of them that are wearing tags!
  10. You need to engage a real life forester. My family has been using the same guy for three decades. He gets a 10% cut, but has more than paid for himself with his knowledge of the market and the way he has conducted bidding processes. We mostly have East Texas pine. You may end up being disappointed in the price you get for the black walnut. Fewer sawmills are really set up to deal with anything other than pine. YMMV and good luck.
  11. Very underwhelming. I really wanted to like it, but could not.
  12. None of that gives rise to the conclusion that the interloper Carbone isn't a worthless sack of shit that we should all avoid patronizing.
  13. I can't remember when I first started lurking. I know that my first official sign up was on the ShaggyBevo site, maybe about the time of the shopping bags over Bevo's head and the "Greg Davis is not our standard" airplane sign event? I'm a youngster compared to many of y'all. It's been a great ride.
  14. To be fair, they did have Pio Renteria (who rode there on his bicycle) give the opening remarks and do the ribbon-cutting honors. But that crowd certainly does resemble a typical Austin Neighborhoods Council meeting.
  15. That is a very nice area -- near the Ritz Carlton. I'm supposing that Master Bait & Tackle was a goner, too?
  16. The dirt at that location has got to be worth a rather large number. It is on the tax rolls at $1.259 M.
