  1. I assume the plan would be pretty elaborate, remote closing with a shady title company that is in on it. I still haven't figured out how the scammer would get through the notary verification. Maybe get a bogus ID with the real owners name at the local flea market. That flea market going out 290 towards Manor use to sell fake IDs by the thousands. CHIEF
  2. Back to scammers. We had a guy call up, said he is battling cancer, and needs to sell his waterfront home, here in Granbury. Well it is within walking distance of the square, built in 2023. We ran comps and were going to list it at $1.75mil. We had walked the outside of the house, and it is absolutely a killer place. This guy even goes as far as to sign a listing agreement, as the owner of the property using the real owners name. The owners live in Littleton, CO, we asked if there was a key hidden. The scammer said he needed to ask his wife, she said she couldn't remember, so he told us to just call a locksmith and have him change the locks. My broker (Mom) said that we wouldn't do that, that he needed to call a locksmith and give them his credit card number and authorize it himself. Things got real quite suddenly. On a hunch, Mom found the wife's phone number online, and when she called the lady answered. The lady was blindsided, she said her husband is fine, and that they have no intention of selling. The Granbury PD is involved now, they have the guys number and real identity, he is in Houston, so I don't imagine anything will come of it. So, beware of people that are wanting to sell their out of state vacation property, and are not willing to come meet you face to face. There have been other scammers trying to sell people's vacant lots around town as well. County records departments are going to have to come up with a game plan to keep this from happening. Maybe require the seller to go to the courthouse and verify ownership, and the sale before issuing a deed. At least on property that is not their primary residence. CHIEF
  3. I think, for the Bicentennial, we put quarters on the rail and traded them like cigarettes in my old railroad town. Everyone swore they put it in front of the “Liberty Train”., even though that fucker never came within 500 miles of us. Really, I wanted to be the first to use Semiquincentennial. BUT, probably not. CHIEF
  4. To me, Arch is always in hero ball mode. He is looking for the touchdown play, for too long, every time he drops back. I also think he would do better out of the shotgun, and never turning his back to the LOS. He would never have his back to his receivers, and should be able to locate them much sooner. He could have his feet set as soon as the ball hits his hands. He just needs to become competent in the 5-10 yard range and keep the chains moving, and take the occasional downfield shot. Grinding out drives will also keep our defense fresh. CHIEF
  5. Thank you JC. I can certainly see that. Ball sacks to ass cheeks. Kind of a stick figure upper body. I can make that work. CHIEF
  6. Kinda like the bedroom mirror I wake up to daily: A simple design, but all I can see is two sets of "dick n' balls" wearing a cowboy hat. It can't be unseen. CHIEF
  7. Eh, sounds Logical. CHIEF
  8. I think I drove one of these in Illinois around 2013-2015 as a rental. Rental car guy asked me if I could drive a manual. Sure. It was an absolute blast. Over 300hp in a 2500 lb. car. Ran that bitch out to 140 on a state highway that the only thing to keep you from seeing more than 14 miles was the curvature of the Earth. Great car. CHIEF
  9. They have a trap range, and a PPC range set up at his work, they shoot about 2-3 times per week. I suspect that he is going to try his hand at Precision Pistol Competition. His boss shoots competitively. He sold this pistol to go towards a $7k competition grade shotgun. CHIEF Jr. is a fantastic shot, I imagine he will do pretty good, his boss has asked him to go to some competitions with him that has a division for amateurs. CHIEF
  10. His daily carry sits in the truck 99% of the time. He might have it on him if he is somewhere shady, which might be two or three times per year. CHIEF
  11. The Ukes should save and send a month's worth of Flamingo production straight to the Kremlin, at the same time. Fuck Vlad's "hourglass" to shit. He can throw out enough propaganda to keep mouth's shut on the front, and possibly the far flung refineries. But when nothing is left of the Kremlin but a greasy spot, Moscow is gonna lose their shit. It would be extra special if they killed about half the Duma. CHIEF
  12. CHIEF Jr. came home with a new toy, I have a feeling he bought it yesterday. He kept mentioning what had all been done to it, how much his boss had put into it ($3500) and what a good deal it was. His boss shoots competitively, and this one was for three gun comp. He built out this Barretta 92X. Ported barrel, really light trigger, more pronounced mag release. He got the original stock slide separately. Fitted with a Holosun red dot. This is his new daily carry. The Sig situation has him a bit sketched, he also doesn't like the way they have handled the P320 situation. He decided he doesn't want to carry a striker fire as his daily and opted for a double action hammer fired. He doesn't think he would survive his FN 510 accidentally going off in the holster, I don't either. So much for him ratholing his money. He ended up paying $1200, the barrel has about 5000 rounds through it, but should last for about 50k. CHIEF

    Never have I seen a more sound secondary. I’m sure having Caleb Downs helps, but fuck. No busted coverages, no one ever wide open, anything that could be considered open would have minimal YAC. The very definition of a “Rolling Ball of Butcher Knives.” CHIEF
  14. Ryan Day went and got an upgrade at DC. The Ohio St. secondary is absolutely smothering. They have more WR talent and still have a better secondary. CHIEF
  15. Does anyone know if Bob Cole has been hit with a full beer can yet? CHIEF
  16. Not even touched. Wow. CHIEF
  17. What an insufferable cunt. Can we at least have one board without CR dribble. It’s just football for Christ’s sake. CHIEF
  18. For sure. I don’t keep up much, but they are apparently the number one team at their level. Predicted to be the national champion. I think they have won a couple of national championships while climbing the ladder, in different classifications. The kicker that won the game was from Crawford. Nearly a 1A school. We drive through there coming to Austin for home games. CHIEF
  19. CHIEF Jr. called me from the bar. We are both Tarleton alumni. That was hilarious. The newest stadium might hold 20k people. CHIEF
  20. A pretty good game for the Friday night before the first big Saturday. I think I have watched Colgate vs. Delaware before. CHIEF
  21. Called my uncle today, Mom's baby brother. He got COVID, on a trip to San Miguel de Allende. Asked him what precautions he was taking. He said he quarantined himself on his bass boat. His biggest on the day was a 6.85 pounder. CHIEF
  22. There is so much truth to this. For my son, it had to be ABET certified, a good value, and a track record of putting people in the industry with good companies. A bunch of his class works at Lockheed, Firefly, and SpaceX. If all applicants meet the same qualifications, it comes down to the interview, and sometimes their job experiences, in college, and how long they stayed with that company. If your kid can find a job that is somehow related to their degree, and they work there the whole time they are in college, they will probably get the job over someone with a degree from a higher tier college. They will also leave college with little or no debt. CHIEF
  23. We have a ton of retired folks. The title companies around here call the mortgage companies and verify over the phone. They won't hang up until making sure nothing goes wrong. It may delay funding a day, but it is totally worth it. CHIEF
  24. So, those of you who have kids that didn't get into UT, did your kid get a rejection letter? CHIEF Jr. was a week and a half, in at UTD before he got an acceptance letter to UT-Austin. Of course we already had sunk the cost into UTD, so there wasn't any way we were gonna pull him out. I didn't get to read the letter, so not sure if it was for that fall semester, or that he could enroll in the spring. He missed the top ten of his class by like seven people, but had a stellar SAT score. His professors at UTD, in engineering, and math were all foreign. I think everyone in the Russian professors class failed, as his English was very subpar.It tanked his first semesters GPA enough that he would not be able to transfer, and that was all she wrote.
