  1. Yes, his mother is Barbara Bergen, I forgot his dad's name. I worked for her practice when I first moved to Austin in 1992. I knew Matt when he was in elementary school. Great family. They bought a little farm out by Muldoon that they would invite us to. CHIEF
  2. Everybody started going back through last year's game cam pics, and we found him on another guy's game cam about three-quarters of a mile away. The spring rains sure were good to him. Looks 3 1/2 last year, gonna say 4 1/2 this year. We are supposed to shoot 5 1/2 and up. I'm just not sure we are going to get the same kind of spring rains in 2024 to make him any bigger. My vote is to let him get shot this year with no repercussions. CHIEF
  3. Ranger belts run about $132 a pop. I would assume maybe a little less on a Mule with a smaller belt. It takes longer to get the dust cover off on a Ranger then to replace the drive belt. CHIEF
  4. The fucker needs a shot across the bow. Blatant officiating bias, that diminishes ticket, apparel sales, and sabotage of an opportunity at higher seeded bowls with bigger payouts, and Texas/OU sue for the exit fees to be nullified. It ain't chump change. I just don't know where we could find a good law team made up of distinguished alumni that graduated from an exceptional law school to make that threat, and follow through with it. Would have to be made by the schools and ADs though. CHIEF
  5. One of the main reasons she has hardly ever made an appearance on this page, is she owns up to her shit. She actually apologized and said she never realized she was worse about it than I am. She will even admit when I'm right, and she is wrong, a true unicorn. CHIEF
  6. Mrs. CHIEF, CHIEF Jr., his gf, and I are sitting around the living room the other night bullshitting, and Mrs. CHIEF gives me the "you need to quit interrupting me, its rude" line. The only time I interrupt is to tell her to "please, get to the point." Which may be a time or two in an hour long socializing conversation . CHIEF Jr. proceeds to rattle off about a dozen, "MOM, let dad finish what he was saying, you're being rude!" in a little less than five minutes. After the last one, he turned and gave me a wink. I don't think I have been more satisfied in my life. It was like the end of round three in the sack, when we were newlyweds. CHIEF
  7. When my Dad passed in 2019, he had two brand new 800 lb. Capsule Feeders https://www.feradyne.com/product/800lb-capsule-feeder/ in his shop. I thought, "what idoit would pay a grand for a damn corn feeder." So they sat in my shop until 2021 when I got on my current lease. Since they were "free" I decided to use one as my personal feeder. I'll never use anything else. We feed corn from about the first of September and shut off the corn during Spring Break. So about 200 days, more or less. You can throw up to 4 lbs. per day, and only have to fill it from the ground once per year. They aren't cheap, but they are coon (its an auger system, coons aren't strong enough to spin it through the cage), and hog proof. It has been maintenance free with cleaned corn, still runs the original spinner motor, timer, and battery for three years. CHIEF
  8. No one has seen this guy. But it isn't like my situation last year, where I could have shot that buck legally. Its pre-season. so he is fair game. No dibs. BUT, Ii sure hope this buddy gets him. He almost cried when CHIEF Jr. shot that big Aoudad. The guy is due. Never shot a monster anything. CHIEF
  9. I'm gonna say he is 4 1/2 at a minimum. Anyone on the ranch, and in our group would shoot him. They might not like it, but anyone would understand. Personally, I think he is old enough. My buck from last year should probably go 170+ this year. We have multiple bucks that will go over 150" on every one of our game cameras. The guy, in our pasture the farthest NW, has a monster mule deer buck on his camera. CHIEF
  10. Buddy on our lease had this guy show up: We think he may go over 190". He said he is shooting him no matter if he is 2 1/2 or 5 1/2. He said we can get a look at him in his truck bed as he hooks up his camper, and removes his blind and feeder. CHIEF
  11. Tell him to be sure to have his handkerchief and his summer frock. Oh, and don't listen to "Southampton Dock" by Pink Floyd, kinda depressing and very PTSDy. CHIEF
  12. Ryan Watts will be gone next year, but the defensive backfield is definitely filled with stud sophomores, RS freshmen, and true freshmen. Manny looks like he is already in the two deep behind Watts. Its formidable competition. He possibly wouldn't even see action until an offense goes five wide his second year. CHIEF
  13. I'm pushing her pretty hard to get this done. There is nothing I hate worse than a thief, and that includes murderers. Murderers usually have a reason, unless they are a thief that murders. CHIEF
  14. People that refer to any part of the US that is not densely urban as "flyover" country, and anyone that chooses not to live in that shit as "rubes." People that have "fur babies." People that are inconsiderate with their boat wakes. People from the extremes of both political properties. People that talk constantly about their kid's sports. People that have not truly "grown up" and always try to get you to do stuff with them that would cause spousal conflict. CHIEF
  15. Awesome, she just happens to have a life long family friend that just became a Texas Ranger in her speed dial. She is pretty sure all the activity is within the state. She, and the customer service rep are giving the guy a little more rope to make sure the noose is big enough to hang himself. CHIEF
  16. So Mrs. CHIEF's company sells storage containers. Mrs. CHIEF would make a grade A private investigator. They have a questionable guy that just became a customer a couple of days ago. Here is the scam that she believes he is pulling: 1. Offers storage containers at half the going rate. 2. Has his customers put down 100% to get the "great rate". 3. Calls and gives her company credit card number of the scammer's client, for the down payment 4. Asks her company to deliver them to his yard in San Juan, Texas. When the company gave her company three different credit card numbers that were from all over Texas on the first day, she saw a red flag, especially with the containers all going to the same location. The scammer said he had no scanner to print and sign POs, and to just bring the paperwork to his location, but was dodgy on where that was specifically. Mrs. CHIEF checked the reviews on his website, he was said to be a crook and credit card thief. Her company hasn't delivered anything, so they haven't really been harmed, but, consumers that are trusting this guy to deliver them a container, have been, and will be out a substantial financial sum. This is over multiple counties, and the scammer is getting access to multiple credit card numbers hourly, and daily, so it needs to be snuffed out quickly. Is this a job for the FBI, each county's sheriffs department, a state level agency? CHIEF
  17. At my wife's company, WFH is a privilege that you must earn. If you can show that you can get as much accomplished at home, as you did in a supervised setting, then you earn that privilege. If your productivity goes down, it's back to the office. She has one guy that will never be able to work from home. Luckily his Dad doesn't have the room in his apartment for an office, so he goes in every day and keeps him productive. They are able to operate their whole Fortune 500 company out of an office space with only four offices at the executive level. They will rotate new hires in for training and put them in one of their small regional offices, if they work out, they are offered the opportunity to WFH, and their productivity is monitored. CHIEF
  18. That's what I meant by no on-site production (manufacturing, industrial, civil and residential services, food services, doctors, dentists, etc.) It would only work for those that can do their job from home (programmers, help desk, inside sales, paralegal, professional assistants, etc.) We are already in a no population growth situation, here, in the US, with declining populations in many other parts of the World (China, Russia, Japan, and many Western European countries). Its time to bring some of those manufacturing jobs back home, and to the Western Hemisphere. High end manufacturing, like microchips, components for the military industrial complex and the like, here, in the US. All the cheap China shit can be manufactured in Mexico, and Central America.
  19. I've WFH going on 12 or so years now. Mrs. CHIEF worked from home, but now drives the 20 minutes into the office, a day or two per week, to train new employees, fresh out of college that she says, "lack the discipline," to work from home. She says she is twice as productive when working at home, as there are far fewer interruptions. You would think there will be coming government incentives to have as many people work from home as possible, the environmental impact alone is staggering. Tens of millions of fewer cars on the road, reducing emissions, stuck in rush hour traffic. Less need for suburban sprawl to be near work. No need to keep building out commercial property. The hidden economic benefit to employees. Cars will last longer with the reduced mileage requirements. Extra money in their pockets with lower fuel bills, savings from eating at home. Cheaper clothing bills. Longer work hours, or productivity from not having to sit in traffic a couple of hours daily. Not having to pay for child care for children that are self sufficient, but too young to stay at home by themselves over summer. If I were to start a business that required no onsite production facilities, just an office with desks, I would plan for the whole business to be ran as WFH. CHIEF
  20. The charade of "we would have won the last 12 in a row," is coming home to roost. There is a reason they don't want to play Texas every year, and have "bigger fish to fry." They call that condition a micropenis. CHIEF
  21. If they were hostile, I think we would have FAFO'ed. It seems as though each side has been as cool as the other side of the pillow. The objects entering restricted airspace does not necessarily constitute a hostile act. Maybe they are ESL. CHIEF
  22. CHIEF

    BBQ

    I was just coming here to see if anyone had tried it. I'm trying to get my football home game weekend restaurant hit list together, and watched a YouTube video on KG BBQ. He seems like a sincere and passionate dude: CHIEF
  23. You would have to think that, and with what happened last time they pulled this shit. Knock out their AD, and circle three or four AC-130 gunships overhead, and there wouldn't be anything left but little sheriff meatballs. CHIEF
