  1. When you are not glued to a screen consuming 16 hours of social media, or have access to hundreds of TV channels at your fingertips a lot of creativity can come from staving off boredom. It was also used as a great coping mechanism. Writing great lyrics, catchy hooks and riffs, and getting a little notoriety was great for the ego, especially when your friends and hot girls would bring lawn chairs to your garage to hear your buddies and yourself play. CHIEF
  2. As a builder, small homes just aren't profitable. It costs just as much to plumb a 2 1/2 bath 2000 square foot home as a 2 1/2 bath 3200 square foot home. Plumbers charge by the fixture (or hole). Garage doors, lot cost, appliances, etc. are going to cost the same but you have much less square feet to spread the cost across. Spending 6 months driving 15 minutes each way, each day to GC and check on the progress just isn't worth the $10-20k in profit, especially since you have to warranty all of the work. CHIEF
  3. At full pool level, not over filled, I have seen depths of over 300 feet, on a high end depth finder, in the area right below The Oasis. I remember back in the 90's when someone lost a sailboat, and they didn't find it for about a decade. It's pitch black at the bottom. CHIEF
  4. That Soul Train and Break Dancing originated in the 1930's: CHIEF

  6. Well, CHIEF Jr.'s best friend is getting married in Ashland on Labor Day Weekend, he is the Best Man. We found a deal to fly into Medford for only $20 more/head than into Eugene. His buddy is the associate golf course superintendent at Bandon Dunes.We are debating going for 4-6 days. CHIEF Jr. and I both want to see Grove of the Titans down by Cresent City, then head to Bandon for a couple of days to eat, golf, and hang out with the wedding party. If we are there for six days gonna hit up Crater Lake. We will probably have some of the groomsmen with us, any "can't miss" breweries in the area? Mrs. CHIEF and I will probably hit a couple of wineries as well. CHIEF
  7. CTJ could give Worthy a three Mississippi count and still beat him by three yards, all while doing it backpedaling. CHIEF
  8. I’d rather be pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain….personally. CHIEF
  9. Those cattle weren't fleeing the smoke, they were chasing the feed truck with the blaring siren. CHIEF
  10. It’s like fishing at the coast with a slack tide. Nothing hitting bait but hardheads and lady fish. CHIEF
  11. Just got a text from my crawfish guy, prices are staying around $7.99/lb. Apparently the killer right now is mortality. He said that about a 3rd of each bag is dead. An abnormal amount of crawfish are molting in the crawfish sacks and getting crushed to death. CHIEF
  12. We stopped by the boiling booth outside of our HEB yesterday, to get an idea of how much crawfish were going for by the pound, and to gauge the size. Turns out, all they had was shrimp, and a sign that said they wouldn't have crawfish until March. CHIEF
  13. The Texas State sugar babies will be impressed with a guy that can spend $195k on an ounce and a half drone. Surly that price tag has to be wrong. CHIEF
  14. My dad worked for Santa Fe Railroad when I was a little kid. GM would ship car parts in these thin veneer wooden shipping crates. He wanted me to start hunting with him when I was about 5-6 years old. He found three post oaks that were growing in a triangle and nailed three 2x6s about 30 feet up. He took two of the shipping crates, took an end off of each one and fastened them together on top of the three 2x6s, and threw in a bus seat. He nailed 2x4 steps to one of the trees to get in it. So, it was open top and exposed to the elements and was still referred to as "the Taj Mahal" of the lease. He would shit a rubber turkey if he saw my hunting set up today (Fridge, TV, a/c, solar electricity). CHIEF
  15. Could NASA just send another probe with a robot repairman to go “bang it on the side?” That’s how my old man used to get our 46 year old TV to straighten up. CHIEF
  16. It's a hundred yard shot just shooting straight down. I've seen one of these before, apparently those towers were made in the 50s and 60s. A friend, in Bosque county, had a ranch behind ours. He had one that was not quite as tall, but probably still 25 foot. It had a Ford 8N tractor seat welded to the top, no gun rest, safety railing, or safety strap. He offered to let me hunt it, but I told him it would be too uncomfortable sitting on the giant balls you would have to have to pull that stunt. CHIEF
  17. This. The wife and CHIEF Jr. were already in Austin for a home game this year, and had her vehicle. I got the bright idea to jump on Amtrak, in Cleburne, at 4:15 and get off downtown. The train didn't get to Cleburne until almost 6 pm. The depot closed at 5 pm, so we just had to sit outside, in the heat, with no access to water or a bathroom. The trip wasn't bad, if you sit at the bar in the dining car. BUT, when we got to McGregor we had to sit on the track for over an hour waiting on a freight train to pass going the opposite direction. Then, at Belton, we had to do it again. I finally called Mrs. CHIEF, told her about the shitshow, and had her come pick me up at the station in Taylor, as the train was going to have another hour delay. So, all in all, a trip that I can drive in about three hours took over five hours just to get me 45 minutes away. There are Youtube videos of people traveling the eastern seaboard on Amtrak from Florida to New York where the train arrived almost a full 24 hours late. Also another one where the traveler jumped on Amtrak in Florida and rode to Seattle. He missed his ferry ride to Anchorage by four days. CHIEF Jr. went with my parents about 2010 or so. He said it was absolutely first class, Skyview roof was epic, food was phenomenal. Nice overnight accommodations in Kamloops. It is considered the best rail experience in North America by many. CHIEF
  18. Wow, what a cunt. Even if you were joking, it still isn't fucking funny. You are usually a good poster. CHIEF
  19. We cancelled my annual boil that was going to be on March 23rd. My guy is at $10/lb. or $300/sack for field run runts and doesn't expect prices to go down much all season. CHIEF
  20. Has anyone ever had to shit at the Rasta Bar on the South end of Cozumel? It looks like a formidable situation. Open Air with five gallon buckets, no TP, and you gotta pay. I imagine you can slip the bartender some greenbacks and he might give you a paper towel. CHIEF

    Arrowhead Hunting

    Oh hell yeah. That close, make a screener with a wood frame and some 1/2" mesh galvanized screen from Tractor Supply. Put a shovel load in and rinse the dirt away. CHIEF

    Arrowhead Hunting

    If there is a lot of rock, any points can't be too deep. A 300 gallon tote with a gas pressure washer will do the trick. CHIEF
  23. it's so bad, I just scroll to see if there is a new recruit/transfer that has their own post. God, I hate the offseason. CHIEF
  24. Not sure how reliable this YouTube channel is, but it discusses the huge number of Russian soldiers that have surrendered. At first it said the number was about 17k, later it says up to 35k. A Russian commander (sergeant) surrendered himself and all of the troops under his command. Ukraine has an "I want to Live" hotline, apparently a large number of Russians are taking up their offer: CHIEF
