  1. Parker and Palo Pinto were not even desirable during the heydays of the Barnett. It is way up dip. Those wells are marginal at $10/mcf. Permian wells flare off per day as much as a Barnett well can produce in a week. CHIEF
  2. The population must be exploding. It was 91 the last time I checked. Either they are horny out there, or nearly 30 people decided this is a good place put down roots. CHIEF
  3. Tex48...DM sent. CHIEF
  4. I'll put out a feeler to my buddy at Pioneer. CHIEF
  5. One of CHIEF Jr.'s buddies (he is the first kid in the first aoudad shot) thought about getting on our lease, last year, but it is too far of a drive for his buddy from Houston/Austin to our lease. The buddy is a CPA for Price Waterhouse in Houston currently, but has been mainly working remotely in Austin (girlfriend lives in Austin, and pussy is undefeated). His dad is the head of radiology at our hospital, here, in Granbury. They are originally from Turkey, Tx. and hunted out west, but are looking for something more central Texas. They are good at aging, and managing practices. They both make great money, and are willing to invest it in the lease. Best of all, they are big Longhorn Fans. If anyone has a spot open for two guns, I would not hesitate to recommend them. They also have their own RV, so a cabin isn't necessary. It is set up to be able to receive Longhorn games from anywhere. CHIEF
  6. Yeah, I looked at my last little 2000 sq. ft. house in Cedar Park. I got a helluva deal on it in 2003 when the housing market had a small hiccup at the beginning of the Iraq war. The builder was trying to close out construction on the east side of Anderson Mill Rd. to move across and have all of his contractors on the west side. I went to look at it at $185k, and he immediately dropped the price to $163k. I built a covered porch on the back for about $12k, and put in a sprinkler system. The house is on the appraisal books, today, at $601,101. I was paying in enough extra to have the house paid off in about 18 years. I could buy the same house, currently, in my neighborhood for about $400k, and put $200k in my pocket. CHIEF
  7. Them boys from the Bastrop Walmart, they were dead within three hours. Buried in the damn pines out past the State Park. I still got the shovel. CHIEF
  8. Yep. Lending rates don't effect our buyers. Put a 2100 sq.ft.house on the market on Monday, for $625k. It's Brazos River front, but not a great hole of water. We have two offers, both full price, cash buyers, have waived appraisals, will not ask for any repairs, and willing to pay for the seller's title policy. People, in their prime earning years, are negotiating to work at home, and go into the office once or twice a week. They are taking the equity from their more expensive urban/desirable suburban home by selling it. They are going out and use that equity to pay cash, and pocket the difference, on rural, and small town residences about forty-five minutes to an hour out from their main office. In our area, that's Granbury and Glen Rose. I haven't been out that way for a while, but would think the same is happening in Burnet, Johnson City, and Blanco. CHIEF
  9. Each. I’m not talking about aggregate. Do you think any recruit alone received 7 figures? CHIEF
  10. Could a supplement be added to certain formula (when you can find it) that would give children with a deficient amount of BChE, a sufficient BChE level? Seems like the easiest and most probable way to end SIDS. CHIEF
  11. A buddy sent me this from Metcalf, southwest of Odessa, this morning. Nine thousand foot vertical with a three mile horizontal. He's running a 150 stage frac over those three miles: CHIEF
  12. My mother said the royalty check she received, today, was based/sold at $8.15/mcf. That's a nice five figure check. CHIEF
  13. They don't have the payroll to keep them all.The portal transfer market is paying millions, not hundreds of thousands. Proven players at positions of need are gonna get poached. Having an outdated offense isn't going to help, especially at receiver. CHIEF
  14. It's gonna be funny when all of the redshirt aggy recruits, that were bought and paid for to sit and wait for their turn, hit the market again. The hundreds of thousands that it took to buy them, will turn into millions to keep them. Their roster will be picked over like buzzards on a carcass. I think they were amazingly (not-amazing for aggy) very short sighted. We may be possibly seeing an end to an era. The only recruits will be bonafide day-one starters, or have a senior in front of them. The new roster model will be to cherrypick and tamper proven guys into the portal for 30-40% of roster turnover. All the proven, VVS diamonds, will be cherrypicked. aggy will be left with the SI-2s. They can't afford to keep them all. CHIEF
  15. We're already to that time of the year where we have to work at night, and sleep during the day. The only bright spot was the United Grocery, in Seymour, has a shit ton of baby formula. CHIEF
  16. We should have CHIEF Jr.'s back shortly. We made a run to the lease this weekend, put a 275 gallon tote with a water trough at our new spot. CHIEF Jr. and his buddy Clark filled 3000 lbs. worth of protein. The only feeders that have any activity are the ones with water stations. There is absolutely nothing to eat except the protein. We have changed out cottonseed for alfalfa, to try to give the deer a little more moisture. All the tanks are dry. The only water is from cattle troughs, and our water stations. It was 117 degrees on Saturday afternoon. CHIEF Jr., Clark, and I had to find somewhere to cool off. CHIEF
  17. The issue, if you crackdown on the corps, is that there will be no repercussions when those positions are outsourced to another country. That's what you get with a "Global" economy. Both political parties are big promoters of "free trade". The corps are the big winners, the employees, the big losers. First, it was manufacturing, now it is service centers. Why do you think Third World Countries are teaching all of their school students to speak English. The overall objective doesn't seem to be to bring Third World countries up to First World countries, but to level everyone off as a Second World country. American workers have no leverage with the current trade agreements. It's why wages have stagnated for so long. Most Americans aren't working to put food on the table, they are working for new cars, fancy houses, and vacations. It can be summed up in the old saying: Hard times create hard men, hard men make soft times, soft times make soft men, soft men make hard times. Americans are soft men at the moment, about to make hard times because of our trade agreements. CHIEF
  18. Morris Neal’s doesn’t have outside seating, or a “eat in your car” area. The only reason I didn’t mention it. But both of my mothers brothers and I eat there after crappie fishing at Lake Pat. It’s as good as Burger Bar. Every time I eat there, every Lawdog in town is there. I guess they know a good burger, the ones on this site certainly do. Barrera’s Mexican food also has a great burger, but not a stand. CHIEF
  19. This model, to me, gives the most flexibility to the employee. It is in their best interest to stay productive and efficient since they are either rewarded with less work hours or more income. It's not the answer for all, or even most vocations, but for manufacturing it could be a real boost to "made in the USA". CHIEF
  20. Fuck, Mrs. CHIEF is 18 years older, and looks 20 years younger. That woman looks like she is in her late 50's. CHIEF
  21. I had a friend, that had a philosophy that people should be paid by the widget, and not hourly. If you could get your 100 widgets completed in 4 hours, that's how much you worked. If it took you 10 hours, that's how much you worked, or you were paid only for the widgets you completed in an 8 hour typical work day. The objective was that employees, not employers, would be the one that determined their hourly rate, and that workers would strive to become more efficient to work less hours, or work longer hours to produce more widgets. CHIEF
  22. The Ukes need to rig an explosive with an electric trigger that only detonates when a washer or drier is plugged in. Let the orcs get it back home where it blows up their entire family. CHIEF
  23. Being a homely 56 year old widow, with no children, has to do a number on her mental health. I'm not sure how long her late husband has been deceased, but it was probably the last time anyone made her feel desirable. Shit like this is getting less rare, and it's only going to get worse as many women are choosing careers over marriage and children. Gonna be a lot of 40-60 year old women being taken advantage of, since it has been decades since anyone has had a romantic interest in them. Living around a lot of retirees I see it happen from time to time. Desperation, from the lack of a romantic relationship knows no bounds, especially from those that need them. This gal needs a mental eval, and the prosecution needs to take that into consideration. The only bodily harm that has occurred, since the escape, is her self-inflicted gunshot wound/attempted suicide. She has followed a sad path, but for obvious reasons. CHIEF
  24. Not nearly as out of touch as your sarc meter. CHIEF
  25. Herd's in Jacksboro: https://burgaholic.com/post/81075551993/herds-hamburgers Burger Bar in Cleburne: https://thetexasbucketlist.com/2017/12/the-texas-bucket-list-the-burger-bar-in-cleburne/ Jesse's in Mineral Wells (it has seating though): https://www.facebook.com/jessesdrivein/ Cupp's Drive-In, Waco: https://www.facebook.com/cuppsburgers/ All of these are pretty spectacular.
