  1. If I paid $600k, for a boat, it would have to, at least make it's own payment. Through saltwater charter more than likely. If I paid $600k, I would be in full, "hey, motherfucker, where is the fighting chair?" mode. CHIEF
  2. Finally getting the cradle installed in our boat stall, in the next 10 days or so. We are gonna have to ease up, or we are gonna be 150 hours a summer on the engine. Son has a buddy that owns the local concrete plant. Bought a Paragon. $600k boat. It’s nice, but not “four of my boats” nice. CHIEF
  3. I went to Ft. Lewis, in Durango, my freshman year. My suite mate's older brother went to Wasted State, we went up to go see him the second weekend in September, I shit you not, it was twelve degrees at night. There was some kind of festival, that weekend. We were all broke, I drove, we coasted in on fumes. Was the first place I ever ate raw oysters. A guy had shipped several bushels in, and he had a lot left over. He told us if we had a pocketknife, and wanted to shuck our own we could have all we wanted for free. I was starving, so I ate about 5-6 dozen. Suite mate's brother had just got in a QP of the most badass hash I have ever smoked. He gave us an OZ on credit, told us to go sell half of it to cover his cost, and smoke the rest. CHIEF
  4. We have some friends, from Cleburne, that travel with my aunt and uncle on quite a few vacations. "Mindy" is as southern as it gets. My uncle said they went to Chicken Itza during the sweltering heat and humidity, they roamed around a couple of hours. This was still in the area of "big hair". He said as they were walking out, Mindy was telling all of the women walking in, "if you think that hairdo is gonna survive a couple of hours, out here, you're nuts. You are all gonna look like wet dogs, just like we do." CHIEF
  5. Well thanks for sharing The Heart of the Matter. CHIEF
  6. I have a client that has been wanting a house under $500k, with a pool and at least 2300 sqft. One came up, in our neighborhood today for $430k, decent pool but the guy was a widower and the house needs at least $100k worth of remodeling, no sprinkler, yard is just weeds. The lot is probably a little less than a quarter acre. Truly an eyesore on the inside. Home prices are just ludicrous. That is $10k more than the 4500 sqft. custom built hunting lodge that my parents bought in 1981, and the lodge happened to come with 420 acres. The median home price has doubled since 2019. CHIEF
  7. I could put together a team just from the people I know that would beat the WNBA Champion. If I took "applicants", I could do it with just players from my hometown of Granbury. CHIEF
  8. I could put together a group of late 30s to early 40 year old guys, in a 25 mile radius (to include my cousin) that could beat any WNBA team after about three days of practice to shake the rust off. They would do it for free. Kinda like the 15 and under boys team beating the Australian Women's National Team 13-0. Those boys should have made those bitches put up their salary for the privilege of playing them. Kinda like drag racing for pink slips. CHIEF
  9. I'm sure the truck driver could have told them that company policy does not allow hitchhikers, and it is a fireable offense to pick one up. Also the liability of riding on the truck frame, behind the cab is strictly forbidden by our insurer. CHIEF
  10. Nobody put up Arch's press conference at SEC Media Day yet? CHIEF
  11. This is what you do if you want your kids to be able to drive a standard. Hell, CHIEF Jr. could stop halfway up a hill, in our Jeep, slip the clutch perfectly, and take off again in the three hours it took me to drive out to the deer lease. Three days is more than enough time. But, every person should be able to drive a standard in my opinion. It would be a tragedy to be caught up in a natural disaster, and the cause of death was, "died because they couldn't drive a standard". CHIEF
  12. My first house, in Cypress Creek, off of 620 was $102,000, in 1997. I paid $150k for a two year old boat with 116 hours. Crazy shit. CHIEF
  13. I agree. A country needs to be the point of origin for most of their country's "top secret" innovations, and present that on the markets. There are about to be some rich Ukrainians. CHIEF
  14. Gotcha. Not people to fly them, but people to maintain them. Wow. I just assumed it was a Harbor Freight ratchet with metric sockets, who new. And that isn't said with sarcasm, just good knowledge CHIEF
  15. If I were Ukraine, I would have an open offer to any former F-16 pilot. We will pay you $1,000,000 per mission to fight on our behalf. We will make sure your family receives the money, if you are killed. I mean, at least your family is guaranteed a million dollars. Brave men have died for a lot less. CHIEF
  16. Sales should go through the roof. Even our decommissioned shit is better than what Russia, NK, and China are throwing out there. The only competition is probably Rheinmetal, even then, it pales in comparison. I like the idea of other countries at least paying as much of their GDP, as we do as Americans. Policing the World on the backs of the American taxpayer, and being ungrateful much of the time, is what some of these countries deserve. Too many folks in the cart, and not enough pushing. CHIEF
  17. I saw something in LULZ the other day that reminded me of aggy football. Hope, at the beginning, only to end up in the jet wash by November.Someone needs to put an aggy jersey on that pigeon. CHIEF
  18. I don't think they will get past the dam, at Canyon. Everyone knows why, but I ain't gonna say it. CHIEF
  19. In 2016, our neighbor tied his johnboat to a sliding chain, about 6 miles below the Granbury dam. It had just gotten dark, about 8:30 pm. We all went back to the houses, above flood stage. Before 6 am, he had a call from the Corps of Engineers to come get his boat off the rocks at the Whitney dam. Over 100 miles in, at the most, 8 hours. How it didn't get snagged? I don't know. Having lived all but six years of my fifty seven years on the Brazos river, I've seen it bone dry, and I've seen it 40 feet deep, a half mile wide, and runnin' 30 mph, in the middle. God only knows how far they can travel. CHIEF
  20. Well godspeed. You are a very admirable dude. You, my friend, have fought some of the most crazy shit I have ever seen and, somehow came out sane on the other side. CHIEF
  21. This was your friend's baby girl? CHIEF
  22. Josh Weathers, one of our Church's song leaders and a rising Red Dirt Country star is doing a FaceBook concert, and has raised $206k in less than 2.5 hours. I bid $7500 for a "house" concert, it went for $36k, I thought I was overbidding. Someone has another big heart, and a bigger checkbook. Just wonderful to hear. CHIEF
  23. That's almost as bad as me on the toilet, after eating Flamin' Hot Chicharrones dipped in Crystal Hot Sauce. CHIEF
  24. I’m sure this is crippling. So no Guinness, butter, Jameson, leprechauns, or pots of gold. I give Ireland 30 days and they cave. CHIEF
  25. Here is my current setup: I I'm a Sonic ice chewing dude all day. I have been through three additional ice makers, before this one. All made really good ice. All others succumbed to lime scale. Our water is really hard, and the scale made them eventually just grind to a halt even with routine cleaning and descaling. I went to this pitcher, made by Culligan, that gets the ppm down to RO level water. The problem, the water is so pure and clear that you have to eat it fast for that Sonic ice texture, or it will end up a hard, clear crystal. But, the ice maker, itself, is clean as a whistle. CHIEF
