  1. So, how many "carbon credits" will Russia have to purchase to offset this? CHIEF
  2. Need a .12 gauge shooting 3 1/2”s with a skeet choke. Coulda got at least half of them. CHIEF
  3. Exactly. Texas has a backlog of excellent young tackles. Fasusi would be behind Gosby, and probably Baker for the left tackle spot, and would possibly only start his senior year at Texas. Guys that talented want to start for more than one year. If Turntine is already the best tackle, in Texas, it wouldn't hurt to skip a year to give him a chance to start as an underclassman. It's not like the NIL funds couldn't be used somewhere else. CHIEF

  5. Do the Israelis not have their own cruise missiles? They are a nuclear power after all. Just use their own shit. CHIEF
  6. It may be a chickenshit idea, it is a funeral after all. But if I were Israel, I would have sent about three cruise missiles as condolences. It would have taken out most of the high ranking Hezbollah command structure as well as high ranking officials from any country that is sympathetic with both Hezbollah and Hamas. If the shoe was on the other foot, neither terrorist organization would miss that opportunity if they had the weaponry to pull it off. CHIEF
  7. My mom's Chrysler 300 burnt the motor up after the solenoids that turn the fuel injectors on and off malfunctioned and kept pouring raw fuel into the cylinders but had the spark plug disabled. It washed the oil off of the rings and main journal bearings. We used a DiabloSport tuner to remove the feature after the engine was rebuilt. We used the same programmer and downloaded the same program for CHIEF Jr.'s 2014 Ram Hemi 5.7, they were really cool about doing it, and it cost about half as much. They make one for the GM 6.2. https://www.holley.com/brands/diablosport/platform/gmc/sierra-1500/2019/engine/376-6-2l-v8/ CHIEF
  8. Well, this certainly made me thank my gut for telling me to get off of the Benjamin lease: 2024 F-250 Platinum, loaded, 1800 miles. Totaled. This crossing used to be about 24" deep, now it has washed to over 5". You can usually see every rock on the bottom but it was murky. I guess lesson learned. CHIEF
  9. Yep, .30-06 for sure, everywhere. 30-30 for East Texas. This isn't about giving easy access to ammo for thugs, this is about keeping a lack of ammo from ruining someone's hunting trip. Who hasn't been on a hunting trip, took a shot and realized your scope got knocked off. I've done it, and it took a half box of shells to get it back to sub-MOA. A box of shells that had lasted me for 3-4 years. I fired three shots per year, one to make sure it was on, and the next two were for the two deer I decided to shoot. One time, I got it as close as I dared, and kept the last shell I had for a morning hunt. I then had to drive over 100 miles to Wichita Falls to buy more ammo. CHIEF
  10. Depending on how many options there are, hell, old cigarette machines probably had 30 selections, you could probably handle all of the popular loads during deer season. This isn't going to be the place where it is the primary place you buy ammo. This is where you buy ammo when you are "over a barrel", one or two boxes at most, more than likely just one box. .22-250, .223, .243, .270, 7mag, .308, and .300mag, all common rounds, will cover about 90% of hunters. It might not be their primary carry, but they have them for a backup. I always have a .243 left in the trailer, if necessary. For pistol, 9mm and .45 would probably be the rounds to stock. In offseason its all 5.56, .300blk, and .308, keep the same pistol rounds. Maybe stock some .22LR, but that is so cheap, people keep bricks of it at home. CHIEF
  11. CHIEF

    Gumbo

    I have two bags in my chest freezer over at the shop. Interested in how they turned out. CHIEF
  12. If they were franchised, I would put one at the Ranchland convenience store in Benjamin, Texas. It's on the edge of the Earth, and open 24/7. I would venture to say that you could get a spot to put the vending machine for free, or almost free. The folks stopping to get ammo aren't just getting ammo, they are buying 35 gallons of diesel, $60 worth of beef jerky, two cases of beer, four bags of ice, four pulled pork sandwiches, and two orders of chicken strips. Ranchland is the only convenience store in the whole town. I know of at least 30-40 more towns just like Benjamin that you could get some space for next to nothing because of the additional revenue it would generate. CHIEF
  13. How is that spoken phonetically? Nev-ah-ee-ya? CHIEF
  14. Hell yeah, the ol' L-1011 was what you flew when they were gonna stick you on a DC-10. I remember that scare. CHIEF
  15. This is what it is going to be. These machines will be too unprofitable to be on every street corner, like the Austin electric scooter fiasco. The vendors won't be able to beat the large retailers on pricing, in populated areas. They have a couple of thousand dollars in ammo sitting in there, and selling ten boxes per year, the numbers won't work. These are gonna be in small towns where the closest gun store is an hour away, closed, and its 2am and you just ran out of ammo from hunting hogs on Saturday night. Its not nefarious, especially if you have been there before. CHIEF
  16. Well toodle Lou. CHIEF
  17. I always tell you people that life is like a roll of toilet paper. It spins a lot faster the closer you get to the end of the roll. CHIEF
  18. https://www.quiverquant.com/insiders/ CHIEF Jr. uses it, and yes, it outperforms the market considerably. He mainly follows Pelosi's trades. He says she may be corrupt, like most politicians, but she ain't no dummy when it comes to investing. CHIEF
  19. Was about to come post the same thing. Cancer or something like that I could see, but it would be a head scratcher if it was a stroke, heart attack, or betus. CHIEF
  20. I would say you could just go to the TU Club in Whiskey Flats. I never went but my son and his buddies went as soon as they were old enough. I asked him about it, he said, "the 250 lb., 50 year old chola that was the cashier at the convenience store, next door, was the third women on stage after we got there." It is closed permanently now, just need a couple of investors, bet it can be picked up at a decent price. CHIEF
  21. The starter on our 20 year old Yamaha finally kicked the bucket, which meant no lake for the 4th through this weekend. Those starters are as hard to find as froghair, they never go out. In seven years, as a boat mechanic CHIEF Jr. said he only replaced one. One of his college buddies has an old 1998 Nautique with the 351 Cleveland, they replaced the coil and are out giving it a test run. Gonna have to wear a visor and some Tiddys on the boat today. CHIEF
  22. Cajun, there are three things you need to do by Monday. Wash all your cars, pour some concrete, and bale some hay. Will raise your chances of rain to about 100%. CHIEF
  23. Yep, look at the bite radius. If the young lady's calf was 100% in the sharks mouth, that is about an 18" wide mouth. CHIEF
  24. It's gonna be like a holiday for them, never better. All of the cats, rats, stray dogs, grass, and tree bark they can eat. CHIEF
