  1. We are right on the line at dry and critically dry at the deer lease, in King county. Gonna go pick up the blind and travel trailer this weekend. I don't think it's a mater of if the lease is gonna burn, but when. CHIEF
  2. The engineer that hires all of the other engineers, at the Ft. Worth Lockheed, was at my crawfish boil this weekend. He gave the hard sell to CHIEF Jr. (again) this weekend and told him to pick out his classmates that have true mechanical aptitude, and can turn wrenches to come apply. F-35 and F-16 orders are going through the roof. This has scared the hell out of Europe, Japan, Turkey, and the Baltics. He said Lockheed is about to be building "balls to the wall". If any of you have a kid that is about to graduate with an engineering degree, feel free to DM me. It's a great job, with great benefits. CHIEF
  3. See how much, and apply the "it was on my ranch, and already written off the books discount". Under 100k miles, it's a $60k truck. My 2018 F350, that looks just like that, other than being a Ford, is worth $17k more than I paid for it. CHIEF
  4. I would take solace in not knowing when I was going to hit the ground, as it would be impossible to see through the fecal matter covering every inch of the windscreen of the entire cockpit. CHIEF
  5. We had our first big boil (6 sacks) and about 25 people: Sorry its sideways, too lazy to turn it. Of course, we didn't want anyone driving home drunk: We have one sack left for lunch. CHIEF
  6. Exactly. But imagine if someone had killed your wife (that wasn't one from the divorce thread in IPIHB), and held onto one of your children (Donbas), and then said he was done fighting, what would you do? The Ukes want their pound of flesh, and it's coming. Let them run the Russians completely out of what the Ukes consider Ukranian territory, and let them become a NATO member that day. Keep sanctioning Russia, and never let them have the funds to rebuild their military again. CHIEF
  7. Looks like he has slimmed down a little. He must have ran out of his neighbor's pets. CHIEF
  8. Here is CHIEF Jr. sleeping in ours, behind the office chairs. There is plenty of room. He is 6' and 220 lbs. CHIEF
  9. Get called a psycho for entertaining an idea to keep Belarus out of the conflict and see where that gets ya'. CHIEF
  10. It will buff right out. No problemo. CHIEFO
  11. Used to be a pretty good BBQ stop in Rice's Crossing, but that was 25 years ago. If it is still there, I hope it made it. With the wildfires, I was worried about Mary's in Strawn, the tornado in Jacksboro, earlier today, I was worried about Herd's, in Elgin, I was worried about Southside Market. I should I be ashamed, but I always lead with my stomach. CHIEF
  12. If the tornado hits College Station it will do about $5mm in improvements. CHIEF
  13. Sure. I bought it from www.AmericanGreenhouseCompany.com. I am assembling it myself, with CHIEF Jr.'s help. It was only $8677.00 with no assembly. It can be assembled in about a day, but assembly runs about $3k. It has a lifetime frame warranty, and a 15 year panel warranty. The sheets are supposed to flex enough to be 250x as resilient as glass. The day I bought it, the owner/installer was assembling one in my neighborhood. They are about 8-10 weeks out, but only if you pay for all of it up front. They do have financing available as well. Not sure where you live, but if you are close to me, I get a 10% referral fee, which I would be glad to split. I'm in the DFW area. If you go wider than 12', the price goes up considerably, since everything has to be double braced. It's much better to go longer than wider. CHIEF
  14. Was watching the Jacksboro tornado, worried Herd’s was going to take a hit. Told CHIEF Jr. it went west by a little over half a mile. It was past the turn to Antelope. That Jacksboro high school and the Dollar General took the direct hit. Hate to be right for once. CHIEF
  15. I always loved cruising at about 2000 feet to look at shit on the ground. This just goes to show that altitude gives you more time to get mentally prepared, and gives you options on where to go. Out by our lease, it's probably safe to be near FL 10k. It's easily 30-40 miles between useable runways. CHIEF
  16. Bought a 12x24 greenhouse this last week to put by my shop. Once I get my well on electricity, should be good to go. It will not be here till mid-June, but I should be able to grow year round.
  17. Don't think they will attack outside their borders, but would take as much territory in the Crimea, and Eastern Ukraine as they could possibly hold. NATO backed its welterweight against the heavyweight. We helped the welterweight put on a few "pounds" to make it a fair fight. I don't think that is unreasonable. Up to this point, NATO just wants this to be a fair fight, no hits under the belt. The heavyweight is hitting them in the balls, and asking their buddies to jump in. CHIEF
  18. Not glass in the real sense, but shoot down any flights that leave those countries headed towards Russia, lending mercenary or equipment support in the promise of commitment. Just enough to make the commitment not worth it. Is that better? That's really what I meant. CHIEF
  19. Interested in seeing her platform (shoes). CHIEF
  20. They aren't a part of NATO or even a former Warsaw Pact country. All of these countries that Pussy-assed Putin has to call upon to defeat Lil' Ol' Ukraine we should just turn to glass for even thinking about it. The old "let them duke it out, but if you jump in, we all jump in." This is a two way street. How humiliating that you have to plead with Belarus, Syria, and Libya to send troops to finish a job that you are too inept, and chickenshit to accomplish yourselves. Let Israel wipe out Libya, and Syria. Let Sweden and Finland take out Belarus. You still haven't attacked Russia. I would put this on the table, and make their country's leaders walk back their commitments. CHIEF
  21. This is the view of the Big L fire from the west side of our subdivision. I texted my cousin, he is a Weatherford firefighter, and in the direct path. Told him I had a pressure washer, 270 gallon tote, and a full bladder. CHIEF
  22. With the Russians now taking defensive positions, this is the opportunity for the Ukrainians to starve them out. I would have armed civilians covering every convenient store, farm, bombed out market, and grain bin I could find. Have the Ukrainians haul off what tiny amount remains, and stash it, then, ambush every foraging Russian they see. A Russian soldier that hasn't eaten in 4-5 days is already going to be pretty weak, and obviously will take chances to get some food in his belly that he normally wouldn't take. CHIEF
  23. Good to hear. I heard it fourth hand, kinda like playing telephone. When CHIEF Jr. told me, I kinda thought that a situation like that would be "bigger news". Haven't even heard about anything on that. CHIEF
  24. One of CHIEF Jr.'s classmates is from Gorman, he said Carbon and Gorman are pretty much gone. My old roommate from De Leon is probably gonna loose his parent's house. I can see the smoke, here in Granbury, 50-60 miles away. CHIEF
  25. That's a fucking "cat lover", if I've ever seen one. CHIEF
