  1. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40066996/, seals up holes in boats. CHIEF Jr. swears by it. CHIEF
  2. That big fucker to the right of the corn feeder is going down when it gets cold. We have had the protein feeder filled for 2 months. Been throwing corn since Saturday. First time anything has been on the game cam besides coons. CHIEF
  3. That was at Rednecks with Paychecks in about 2013-2014. Brand new Raptor, still had the paper tags on it. We didn't go until the next year, hopefully to see stupid shit like this. CHIEF
  4. This is what is killing the in-person game experience for me. After a year of not driving 180 miles to Austin, tailgating in the heat, sitting in the stands in the heat, sitting through five minutes of TV timeouts (which the TV providers take advantage of, way too much). Then driving the 180 miles back home. It's just getting to be too much. I can pause the game when it comes on, stay off Surly, and go do something else. I start the game about an hour to an hour and a half later, fast forward through all of the commercials, watch five minutes of the half time report, fast forward through all of the commercials in the second half, and usually end up live in the last three or so minutes of the fourth quarter. Games are now about 65/35 commercials to play. CHIEF
  5. CHIEF Jr. and I decided e need to go do some work at the deer lease, so we missed the Rice game. But the fire was nice, and so were the ribeyes: You can see forever: The roads are rough, pictures don't do it justice, but you hit some 60% grades: and you have to pick your way through the wash at the bottom. CHIEF
  6. I think it's the Orville and Wilbur Rickenbacker Museum. Somethin' like that. I heard they have free popcorn. CHIEF
  7. They are doing it legit. They have been renting licensed boats by the day. Apparently a lot of operators had to sell their dive boats to eat during the shutdown. If you have a dive boat, you can rent it out every day that you don’t have customers. It is expensive, and dive masters are fighting for the scraps. CHIEF
  8. I was born and raised in Cleburne, Tx. until 8th grade. My Dad was friends with David McWilliams and Pat Culpepper, Spike Owen was a God in my hometown. Everyone was a Longhorn fan. I was accepted into UT and that was my plan until oil prices collapsed in 1985 and I could live at home and commute to Tarleton. I saved up enough money to move to Colorado and went to Ft. Lewis in Durango and skied my ass off my freshman year, but the writing was on the wall. Came home, got a job as an aviation mechanic, and worked my way through Tarleton, but have always been a Texas fan. CHIEF
  9. Just let me know, I've got about 3 or 4 laying around, probably still a good one laying around somewhere. CHIEF
  10. CHIEF Jr. has my old 96 Firebird with the same LT1. The distributor is an "optispark" and sits directly under the water pump. Go to a Gen 5 97-2000ish, if you are determined to get him one. That way you get the LS1 with coil per cylinder, like the modern engines of today. It's a 305-320hp car, so about on par with a V6 Camaro, or Mustang today. CHIEF
  11. PM sent. CHIEF
  12. Some of the former Aldora employees Dario, Chino, and Gato have just bought boats. They found two 150 Yamahas in Playa, new, in the box. $41k for both, we are putting money together to help them purchase the engines. CHIEF Jr. is going to take a long weekend off from school and fly down and rig the boats out. This should give him an idea of logistics and working conditions and if it is worth trying to start a marine repair business on the island. If anyone wants in on it, this could be used for prepaid diving. Corona has been rough on these guys, tourism is making a comeback, but it put quite a few islanders behind the eight ball. CHIEF
  13. Hadn't seen this thread, but happened to watch the first Matrix last night, just came out on Roku. I agree. Did the Machines renege? Fucking welchers. CHIEF
  14. CHIEF

    Yellowstone

    They filmed some of 1883 here in Granbury. The square has a lot of old historic buildings. Have a cousin that ended up with a bit part. Told him he better start looking for an agent, isn't that how it works? CHIEF
  15. Judas Icariot? Their spelling alone is reason to leave this conference. CHIEF
  16. Jimbo is aggy's Kirk Ferentz. More often than not, he will have them respectable, without ever winning anything of importance. They have sunk so much money into him they will never admit their bad decision and will gradually become comfortable with always being the Bridesmaid but never the Bride. CHIEF
  17. Had a fat chick from Follett birddog me hard at church camp one summer in jr. high. Hits close to home. CHIEF
  18. This is so true. ESPN has been beating the "SEC is the best" drum for a little over a decade. Even the SEC bottom feeders get more respect than all but the top 2-3 teams in every other conference. This is about recruiting. You either join due to the brainwashing of the best recruits, or you get left behind. This move really has nothing to do about money, Texas and OU were fine. It is about falling farther behind and becoming irrelevant. Donors and administrators want skins on the wall. Alumni aren't boasting about the money it is about bragging rights on the field. Our last two recruits Tapp, and Finkley picked Texas because of the SEC move. Arguably our next two most important to become competitive (Harris, and Stewart) have interest because of the SEC move. The big fish next year (Manning) it helps as well. This isn't about money, or even time slots, its about survival and staying relevant. It's nothing personal to the Irate 8, it's all about perception, and keeping eyes on your program. When no one wants to bid up your conference contract, the writing is on the wall how they feel about your conference. I truly believe that if ISU and Okie State went to the SEC, they would be firmly above Mizzu, Arky, Miss St., Vandy, and Usc. But unfortunately they will never get to prove it, and most people wouldn't give them the benefit of the doubt. Hell, most of the SEC thinks Arky is going to mop the floor with Texas this weekend. ESPN and the SEC have been sniffing their own farts too long. To be honest, I would much have the original Big XII over the SEC, for familiarity, and for the benefit of the original members. It wasn't the Big XII that forced this hand, it was the SEC. CHIEF
  19. Looking back on this thread, it looks like Tyler has hit it big along with Charlie Crockett, or at least big enough to play festivals and reunions, Red Rocks and others where the crowd is probably 10k plus. That's about what Pat Green plays now. They are pretty much on easy street now. I had kind of forgotten this thread until I saw Koe Wetzel with a couple of bandmates and his fiancé/girlfriend at the Racetrac in Granbury about an hour ago. They were icing down a case of Ziegenbock at 2:30, headed to the lake. CHIEF
  20. CHIEF Jr. is like Rainman on that old dude. Probably watches him 3-4 hours per week. Says that guy couldn't tell you which end of a cat the shit came out of, but holy fuck does he know about transmissions. CHIEF
  21. That's what we put on the front of CHIEF Jr.s truck. We took out the 1" leveling kit, and adjusted the shocks for that extra inch. He's running 5160s on the back with the reservoirs. Kings were what he wanted, but Bilsteins were what he got with me footing the bill. CHIEF
  22. CHIEF Jr. and his buddies racked them up. Everyone limited out both days, but had the place pretty well shot out when they left. All birds were kinda on the small size. Gotta go buy bacon and japs. CHIEF
  23. ULaLa was a good team. Napier seems to use a lot of the same concepts as Sark. Always have a deep route to draw coverage, then throw to the open receiver underneath putting DBs in conflict. Not sure we will see a better game plan all year. Our defense benefitted from playing against our offense. CHIEF
  24. I replaced my a/c units with ones that have variable speed compressors. It saves a lot of money at a cozy 66 degrees. CHIEF Jr. being a smart mechanical engineer, told me not to vary the temp, as it is cheaper to just maintain a constant temp. Hadn't had a bill over $300. CHIEF
  25. Shit, CHIEF Jr. used his .20 youth on opening day when he was 8. Gave it back to me and picked up my .12. I don't think he was on the North side of 80 lbs. yet. Monster is big enough to swing an 870. CHIEF
