  1. Easy, by their foreskin. CHIEF
  2. The concrete guys in our market are $275/day. About 3/4s don't speak English, but are knocking out about $60-70k per year. They have newer trucks and trailers than I have. CHIEF
  3. Mine too. Hill Wheatley made the best moonshine in the Bosque, Hill, Hood, and Somervell county area. I never could figure out why my Grandfather's younger brother didn't like his older sister's husband. Before my grandfather died, he told me it was because my Uncle Frank had stiffed his little brother when he smuggled 300 quarts of moonshine out to Sweetwater. Apparently it was pretty dangerous. I asked my grandfather why they didn't just build a still out in Sweetwater. He looked at me like I was an idiot and said "how hard do you think it would be to hide a still in Sweetwater. You can stand on a tuna can and see everything going on in three counties." CHIEF
  4. Those are my two as well. Whole family takes them. CHIEF
  5. Got a call from Kellie, she is a little more than just a neighbor, she is my wife's best friend. So Mrs. CHIEF has been her shoulder to cry on, encourager, optimist, and ledge guard. Her son is uninjured and ok, that's all we know. Don't know about anyone else in his unit. His mom is relieved but, of course, can't sleep and is glued to the TV. CHIEF
  6. You can get into a very nice modular for $80-100 sq/ft. You can have a slab poured to put it on, but that is generally a problem in remote areas where concrete trucks may have to come from over 100 miles away. Some modulars come with the slab already attached. They just put all the pieces together, on site, like a giant jigsaw puzzle. You couldn't get a house built in somewhere like Creede or Silverton under $200 sq/ft. stick built with a slab. CHIEF
  7. We saw a picture on CNN the other day. It was a Marine giving fist bumps to some Afghan kids. They were by a wall. Not sure if it was inside or outside the airport, but we are about 90% sure it was him. He is also a "door kicker". We are all just praying and waiting on a phone call. CHIEF
  8. That looks awesome. Nothing like what I saw today. It's angular, no soft edges, the way a Bronco is supposed to be. CHIEF
  9. Saw my first new Bronco today. It was a sport model with OEM wheels and tires. It looked like a Fiat 500 on steroids from the rear. Not a good look. CHIEF
  10. All of the ones are disabled in every pickup we own. Our subdivision is all private roads, Rangers, Mules, golf carts, you can drive anything. Just read your owner's manual, it will tell you how to disable it. Click, unclick, click, unclick with the key in a certain position etc. CHIEF
  11. That MC location shut down after failing their first three health inspections. I don't know how I remember that. But I remember seeing it on the news right before I moved out of Austin. Never ate there. CHIEF
  12. In remote areas, sure? My wife is a high-up in Commercial modular, but one of the execs that left the company does modular homes. Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, remote Colorado, you are looking at twice as much for stick built. CHIEF
  13. This is a cool Youtube channel of an American woman that marries a Cuban National and brings him to the US on a K1 visa. His reaction to Home Depot, Costco, car dealerships, etc. is fascinating: CHIEF
  14. Sounds like my 82' model. It never missed an opportunity to leave you stranded on the side of the road. The second generations were always ranked as the least reliable or second to least reliable vehicles on the road. CHIEF
  15. No good deed goes unpunished. I am very hesitant to list close friends and family. They tend to want to list the house for considerably more than current value, and expect you to list it for them for basically free, then bitch when they don't get an offer within 48 hours. Had two of those this summer. CHIEF
  16. Pretty good article, would be a fun dive. The window will probably close by mid-October. CHIEF
  17. One of CHIEF Jr.'s best friends (a Marine) just got orders they are shipping out to Kabul in 24 hours. The thing he is worried about is exactly who is in the Hummer that pulls up beside you. It's going to be an absolute clusterfuck. His Mom, also a good friend, is absolutely beside herself. He said his "goodbyes" to her, his young wife, and new baby. CHIEF
  18. That's my closest place to get them. We've been badgering them to put one in Granbury. CHIEF
  19. The problem, right now is finding this in a .357, and the price difference. Magnum pistols are at a premium. I agree wholeheartedly with getting a .357 and shooting .38 Special, if you can find one that doesn't cost half again as much. It was $200 difference and a wait when I bought the .38. CHIEF
  20. That's the exact same gun Mrs. CHIEF has. The recommendation came from a friend that is a CCL instructor and gun range owner. I looked at a "Judge" and the same pistol in a .357. He said that after shooting those, that she would just as soon be raped or assaulted. She is proficient at 10 feet, just like Ray Charles. It doesn't have the knockdown power of a .357, but is easy enough to shoot that she isn't hesitant to pull the trigger. CHIEF
  21. What weight is your freshwater setup, and how big are their bonefish? CHIEF
  22. A hammerless .38 is what Mrs. CHIEF has. No safety, all she has to remember is point the end with the hole towards the bad guy. CHIEF
  23. Same here, even Granbury is too big. Give me Guthrie, Benjamin, or Aspermont. I'm creative enough to make my own entertainment. CHIEF
  24. Just got back from Cozumel, and loaded up on Cubans for the deer lease: CHIEF
  25. Here are some on Ebay. A good used high quality would probably be better in that price range: https://thea.com/-/11/795/413/g17Spotting Scope'e1254'1g19BestMatch'h23e13'31715e16'1/182/ CHIEF
