  1. "Wouldn't It Be Nice" is one of my all time favorite wedding reception songs. It was played at mine. CHIEF
  2. @troph what was that badass wakesurf board that you bought? In fact, I think it was two of them. Was it one the Chaos boards made in Austin? We are getting boards for the new boat. Bought a $900 Doomswell Kevlar on sale for $550. Got our Ronix bungee rope to save shoulders. CHIEF
  3. I actually like it on my chargrilled Gulf oysters. CHIEF
  4. I think when people ask me my weight, I am going to answer them with the "Jew Pound" calculation. CHIEF
  5. I am another that eats gulf coast oysters in months that end in "r". I still won't eat them in September though. I eat cold water oysters during the summer. I can't afford to eat cold water year round. I mean, I could, but choose not to. Fuck $36/dozen. CHIEF
  6. I thought to be a GOAT, you must accomplish something like win multiple national championships, or hold a record on some statistic (all-time leading rusher, most TFLs) or something. I didn't know you could just declare yourself the GOAT. Now I feel jilted. Now I've got to think of something that I can claim GOAT status for. CHIEF
  7. I haven't heard one peep about Russian field hospitals, or evacuating the injured one single time during this whole conflict. If you are a wounded Russian, I think you get a "tough shitski" and a bullet between the eyes. CHIEF
  8. Dude...you are dissing the first five syllables to the "Banana Split's" song. Do better! CHIEF
  9. Yeah, wait till this tenant conjures up something wrong at your property and you have to refund them all of the rent collected, then pay for their mental anguish and suffering. CHIEF
  10. You can still get a basic one for that. But with nice guts, sound system, cockpit, and the loungers that face the stern, and a 250 or 300 Yamaha/Merc hanging off the back on what is considered the best brands of tritoons (Bennington, Avalon) you are there, easily. The biggest problem with pontoon boats, is they are a bitch to put the cover on. We would come back after drinking on the lake, and no one ever wanted to put it on. That has more than likely hastened its demise. Of course, with no real skin in the game, that was bound to happen. I have been reassured that this new boat will get wiped down and covered every time it goes back in the slip. CHIEF Jr. is even ponying up for the slip cradle. Gonna pattern it off the trailer, and have a buddy from work, their lead welder and shop foreman, weld it up. I'll have to haul it on my gooseneck, to the lake, put it on styrofoam or blue plastic barrels and float it into place. That Bennington has had a dozen kids on it every summer weekend since CHIEF Jr. was sixteen. When they all went off to college, they would come home and spend the summer on it. It has been puked on, puked in, puked under, and puked off of. CHIEF
  11. For sure. That is substantially more than I paid for my first house. I'm gonna finance it for as long as possible (20 years) but should be able to pay it off in 4-5 years with a substantial down payment. I'm 57, no way I am having a boat note that I have to pay while drawing social security. I don't have any write-offs for income tax, they take me to the cleaners annually. No house, property, or vehicle payments. I'm gonna get creative with this toad. CHIEF
  12. Well, my old Bennington just turned 20 years old. The interior is getting pretty ratty, the starter went out on the Yamaha at the beginning of last summer, so we basically cancelled our summer weekends. Those starters hardly ever go out, and are really tough to find, so it was late fall before we found one. Now we thought we had a spark plug issue, but now think it is an injector. So time to get rid of it. This is the boat my Dad bought, couldn't get it on the trailer when it was windy, so he just gave it to me. I called my cousin at Fun N Sun in Hurst, about getting a new tritoon, and to get one comparable to what we have was over $120k new. CHIEF Jr. has always wanted a wake boat. He is a Centurion man. I always told him only a fucking idoit would pay six figures for a damn ski boat. So what is this idoit doing this Thursday? Going to go try and make a deal on this Sumbitch: https://www.awsboatstx.com/default.asp?page=xPreOwnedInventoryDetail&id=15925476&p=1&s=(Sort By)&d=D&fr=xPreOwnedInventory Depreciation was the deciding factor. I'll give my kid credit, he knows how to set the hook. We don't carry a dozen college kids anymore, so really don't need a tritoon. I'm gonna be officing like Cajun soon. CHIEF
  13. I think I would stay on the "mountain side" of that big ass crack there. CHIEF
  14. Funny. The day I read this thread was the day a new builder contacted us about listing his homes, when they are finished. First Indian we have had build in our subdivision. He went and bought the two cheapest lots he could find (dead trees and a big drainage ditch) and built $750-850k houses on them. I was really hesitant, but my Mom/Broker decided that we would list the homes in our subdivision, but not the cheaper subdivision 15 minutes away with roads so bad, you almost need a 4x4. Again, cheap lots. He is another Asam (Awesome), and wants these homes gone ASAP, as his investors are already getting nervous. I imagine his investors are immediate family. These houses are gonna be on the market for at least six months. Other builders are buying the nice lots, and building the same caliber of house for the same, or less money. At least I was able to convince my broker to only list them for 90 days. I figure this is probably going to end up as ISTY said. We will have a listing agreement, and then he will want to deal with the buyer direct, and not pay a commission. CHIEF
  15. I would have to have trailer balls drove into the rock about every foot, and NowThis my way around it. Sit on a ball, clench, reposition, then, move to the next, and repeat. CHIEF
  16. I have a cousin that Rahr would call, when they first opened, to come work at bottling time. Think he went in a dozen or so times in the three months they first opened. You got paid in beer, and lots of it. CHIEF
  17. This. The economy is a House of Cards, the war stops and things get so bad in Russia that there will be a coup. Putin knows this. CHIEF
  18. Like clockwork. Well done. CHIEF
  19. I was talking to my Mom about Ruth Buzzi dying. Mom said, "you know she lived on a place near Stephenville, didn't you?" I had no idea. Mom had met her at some fundraiser, years ago. Small World. https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/legacyremembers/ruth-buzzi-obituary?pid=209028753 CHIEF
  20. We have had two fatalities on golf carts since I have moved into my neighborhood, 13 years ago. Didn't know the gal that hit a brick mailbox at 30 mph, but knew the second, Phyllis. Mid 60s, usually saw her at the 19th Hole. My buddy hired her on as a cashier at the liquor store. Her and her husband got in a drunken argument coming back from The Hole. She decided she was getting out of the golf cart, again, at 30 mph. Sixty year old women can't exactly jump off and run down to a stop. Stepped off and did a header right into the pavement. CHIEF
  21. He couldn't have been too high. He was running seventeen over, for Christ's sake, not seventeen under. CHIEF
  22. I tried a few times and never could get up on my feet without planting face first. That was before they put booms on the boat, I know a lot of people that couldn't barefoot until they were able to learn on a boom. CHIEF
  23. 33-35mph. Depends on the size of your feet, and how much you weigh. CHIEF
  24. I have an uncle that was that good at barefootin’ back in the 70s and 80s. He is now 78 years old. Don’t think he could do that anymore. CHIEF
