Yeah. In Granbury, the smoked sirloin, rare, is probably the best thing in town at that price point. Mesquite Pit is pretty good for portion size. For traditional cuts like filets and ribeyes, it’s the Pecan Plantation clubhouse, or Whiskey Woods in Glen Rose.

I remember that. From what I remember, it was from something big like a .50 BMG. A rifle that should not be shot in an area with that kind of population density

I tend to think there will be a redrawing of borders that will give Ukraine everything that they currently hold. I also think that restrictions placed on Ukraine will mean literally nothing. The US, NATO, and EU will simply look the other way, and it will be up to the Russians to inspect and plead their case that Ukraine is in violation. Ain't no Russian got time for dat.

Thanks HC. I was counting on your knowledge and expertise. I was kinda leary, since it is built in China, but CHIEF Jr. swears they are really high quality and made right. I put a 3D printer on my Christmas list, apparently I am usually impossible to buy for. I have two rifles with 50mm objective scopes, but my .300 WSM is a 44mm, and I have a couple of rifles with even smaller objectives. Im gonna use the 3D printer to print adapter sleeves for my different objective sizes.

Well, I think I have decided the ditch my cheap ATN thermal, and get a clip on thermal. One of my son's best friends lives next door to one of the main guys that owns IRay. I have heard great things about them, but didn't know if anyone, on here, owned one, or is familiar with them. I'm looking at this one:

I can probably get it for about $4500. I am tired of having a single rifle dedicated to thermal and with this, I can move it to any rifle with a scope. It can also be used as a monocular.

Jayton, Texas did this about 50 years ago with tax from oil royalties. My history/aviation teacher was from there. We went by the school, and they had nice single family homes that they provided for the teachers since Jayton is 100 miles from anywhere. I think Guthrie did the same.

When we were leasing 16k acres, on the Swenson Ranch, north of Abilene, we leased for $6/acre, resold the quail lease for $4/acre, and were in at $2/acre. They couldn’t even quail hunt until the day after deer season closed.

A fire can be both a blessing and a curse. It will suck this year, best you can do is clean out the feeder pens, and hope there is still enough cover for them to feel safe coming to the feeder. All of the old, dead, matted grass should be burned off, the next three years you should be loaded with deer. The fire will put nitrogen back into the soil, and everything should be green as a gourd. Good time to get a grain drill and research some improved drought resistant perennial grasses (rye, Klein, or bluestem).

Good friend took the last one. I have a couple of elevated spots to view from, tonight. One on Chalk Mountain, west of Glen Rose, and another at the base of Comanche Peak. It was pretty cool last night, but tonight is supposed to be bonkers.

Pizza is so cheap around here, I didn't think about checking the freezer section. Damn First World problems. This might actually be cheaper than his quad patty, quad cheese Whataburger.

That is what we do in our neighborhood. You get to hear the ol' Blue Hairs bitch about how inhumane the nets are. But it must be done for the health of the herd.
CHIEF
Happened to me when CHIEF Jr. was about two. That was when the 620 and 183 intersection was temporarily a four way stop. We start through the intersection, and here comes this lady barreling in, running the stop sign. My wife and I hear, "you need to wait your fucking turn, bitch!!" Worst stare down from the Mrs. in 33 years.

The 280Z was about the fastest thing you could get in the late 1970s, besides exotics. It was so much lighter than the domestics, but with similar power. Had a great power to weight ratio at the time.

My uncle was a Dallas fireman, but he lived in Cleburne. He had a silver 1977 280Z as his commuter car. I loved that car. I begged him to sell it to me, when he got rid of it. I was 15, and had a "hardship" license. It was plenty fast a 130 mph car. I never got it though. I think my Mom put the kibosh on that. Would have been like giving a chimp a loaded shotgun.
