  1. Yep, since 2006. CHIEF
  2. CHIEF Jr. is in a wedding today. The Groom brought his Mustang over to wash and detail. Black Cherry paint job. Pretty nice. CHIEF
  3. Thought that looked familiar. CHIEF
  4. CHIEF
  5. The other guys on my lease shot twelve last year, not all trophy size. They shot ten in one day. I've heard that we have about 400 on the entire 90,000 acres. This herd is the only one I've seen, and numbers about 15. We usually see them on a cliff about 2-3 miles south. If they start hitting the feeder regularly they are gonna get lit up. We never see solitary animals, just this herd. The Aoudad never linger too long at the feeders. Plenty of time for WTs to come in. CHIEF
  6. A couple of guys I know did it. You have to commute into DFW to get a paid position. The one's around here do a few in between golfing and fishing, or they are at the other end of the spectrum, slammed. All of them work independently, from home, and aren't eager to teach. I have enough in savings to do it, and would still be able to work as an agent. I'm too lazy to commute, so I will wait until the market cools a bit and find a local guy. CHIEF
  7. I normally shoot 150gr. out of my .300 WSM, I'm gonna up it to 180gr. He will probably go 300-350 lbs. on the hoof. They are amazing animals, can jump 30 feet from precipice to precipice on a cliff face. They have extremely good eyesight, its tough to get within 3-400 yards of them. If you are in a stand, at least one will be staring at you the whole time. You better have the window open and your gun already pointed in that direction when you see them. CHIEF
  8. Supposedly inedible. I hate killing anything that I don't plan to eat, but we are overran with them. I found one guy on an internet search that made passable carne guisada out of aoudad. Think I'm just gonna shoot him and cape him out. CHIEF
  9. Six months minimum, for no pay. My broker (mom) is on me now to get an appraisal license. The problem is no appraiser is willing to take on apprentices currently, they are way too busy. CHIEF
  10. https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b40066996/, seals up holes in boats. CHIEF Jr. swears by it. CHIEF
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. 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
  15. I think it's the Orville and Wilbur Rickenbacker Museum. Somethin' like that. I heard they have free popcorn. CHIEF
  16. 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
  17. 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
  18. Just let me know, I've got about 3 or 4 laying around, probably still a good one laying around somewhere. CHIEF
  19. 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
  20. PM sent. CHIEF
  21. 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
  22. 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
  23. 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
  24. Time for the Breakfast of Champions. Chocolate milk and leftover pizza. That's what CHIEF Jr. is eating. CHIEF
  25. Judas Icariot? Their spelling alone is reason to leave this conference. CHIEF
