  1. It's very easy to keep the tanks from sloshing. Go buy the 100 foot, 4" corrugated french drain hose from Home Dept. Stuff the whole 100 feet into the tank. The slits eliminate air from being trapped in the hose. A 275 gal. tank will still hold about 273 gallons. I got the idea from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6VoTup9z2Y CHIEF
  2. Call TexTrail and have them cut you a 50" wide 6k axle. Buy some hangers, fenders, a hitch, jack, and leaf springs. The fab work was easy. CHIEF
  3. We are having to supply water to over half of our feeder pens with totes: When I still had my fab shop, I designed and built eight water trailers designed to haul a tote. It has a 5.5 gpm 12 volt pump. It is ran by a marine battery with a 12v solar panel that keeps the battery charged. I baffled the tank with the corrugated plastic french drain hose you get from home depot, so no sloshing. You don't even know it's behind you, in a truck. My Ranger also pulls it fine. I still have five of the trailers. CHIEF
  4. Just got a membership to Wildfork Foods. Picked up two lamb racks that I will turn into rib chops. They also have Picanha, which you can't get that cut around here. USDA Prime was only $12.98/lb. The lamb rib racks were only $15.98/lb. About what I pay at Costco, but it's going to be delivered tomorrow. CHIEF
  5. CHIEF
  6. Anybody got a guide rec for Cobia in the Florida panhandle for May? Thinking about booking a long weekend trip. Fly into Destin on a Thursday evening, fly back home on Sunday. CHIEF
  7. I've got the Greenworks Pro, and it fucks. I just looked on the "best of" list and it was Numero Uno for the price. My Polaris gets absolutely filthy at our deer lease and it will take off heavy mud. It will also etch concrete. CHIEF
  8. When it gets dry around here, my concrete guy, Arthur asks me if he can come put up forms and lay rebar for me. It works 100% of the time. We were supposed to pour some tomorrow. CHIEF
  9. My usual group are some serious eaters. Probably half don't bother with corn or potatoes. Our six bags came in at a little over 200 lbs., so between 9-10 lbs. per person. I'd say most fall in the 6-9 lb. range.Then you have my nephew and CHIEF Jr., they will just eat until they are all gone. A five pound bag of potatoes and a dozen ears of corn, and we are good. CHIEF
  10. Forgot my 9mm at camp, so it would have been a .25-06. But the thought did cross my mind. They need to make throwing lit butts out the window a jail time felony. CHIEF
  11. Brisket better bring Cabrito home. CHIEF
  12. Fuck, I didn't read this post well enough. I reported a bitch tonight, on the way back from fire breaking the lease camp, and moving blinds and feeders. She threw a lit butt out the window at 281/I-20. I was detailed enough, they can pick up the butt and pull DNA samples. FUCK A BAG!!! Sent a link to the picture of her car even. I know it's America and it's "word against word", but I wanted to go full Gomer Pyle with the citizen's arrest. CHIEF
  13. Eating Ramen and frozen pizza from the Dollar General in Knox City this weekend. Life doesn’t get any better. Only gonna cost $450 in diesel for the privilege. CHIEF
  14. Just filled up the F350...LOL Still not full. CHIEF
  15. When I worked in insurance back in the 90's, it was a no-go pretty much for all the majors(State Farm, Farmers, Allstate, Farm Bureau, etc.) out there. I had people call weekly looking for someone that would write a homeowners policy for a home with aluminum wiring. Somebody has to be writing it. Maybe someone that has chimed in will tell you who they are insured with. CHIEF
  16. I have a SEP question. Do contributions have to be made by April 15th, if you have to file an extension? Or can they be made anytime up to the October deadline? We are waiting on a K-1 from our CPA, on an LLC, for which I am an officer. The K-1 will not be completed until after April 15th. Thanks, CHIEF
  17. My father started this: https://www.facebook.com/BIBLE-Connection-INC-896842657329230/?ref=page_internal, all of the proceeds from his business I ran from 2019-2020 went to purchase Bibles for populations that had too few literate readers to have Bibles made by the Gideons. I am a Christian, but pale in comparison to my parents. However, my mother and I donate heavily through our non-profit to https://lifetoday.org/outreaches/water-for-life/. It is James Robison's ministry that drills almost a well per day in Africa. Clean water is probably the greatest preserver of life that can be provided. When my father died, a Church in Belize that my father had heavily funded, had their song leaders come and sing at his funeral. His bass is the pride of a guy he gave it to, in Serbia. This is a great thread. Matthew 25:40-45 CHIEF
  18. When you loose that much weight, but probably didn't pick up any foot speed, you are no longer capable of being a Div.I football player. You are just some average un-athletic dude. CHIEF
  19. Sounds like a good time for some Ukraine pilots to go pick up some Polish MIGs. I mean what's good for the goose, is good for the gander? Right? CHIEF
  20. Last of him on 24/7, he was at Butler Community College, in Kansas. He has never been on the roster. CHIEF
  21. I think he went full Blutarsky: CHIEF
  22. Wish I would have known this last Friday. Some MFer threw out a lit cigarette butt at the intersection of Hwy 4 and 377, here in Granbury, before turning into the QT for fuel. Had me contemplating chambering a round and following him to the pump. I hate feeling that way, but it put my HEB (when it's open) at risk. CHIEF
  23. Don't forget to have someone erase your browser history. CHIEF
  24. I asked my Lockheed engineer buddy why equipment is so incredibly expensive. It's all the design, mock up, and redesigning parts that fuck up during testing. He said it is not uncommon for a new generation of fighter jet to have close to a half million redesigns. I asked him, "so if one component has been redesigned 5000 times and the design still isn't working, what happens next?" He said, "well, you start working on redesign 5001." It's all trial and error, and still needs to meet government requirements. CHIEF
  25. The sage advice that my late father taught me was momentum always makes up for a lack of traction. BUT, that logic doesn't hold up in tanks or tractors. CHIEF
