    You know, if she changed all of her storefront signs to this, she could double her price, and sell the same amount of inventory.

    Afraid of the bacteria in the meat grinder that ground the beef is what I'm afraid of.

    Dude, we now have electricity. The grinder sits in a 35 degree cooler its entire life, and is washed nightly. From the slaughter floor to your house, the warmest environment is in your car, on the way home. You can eat it raw, and have been able to since JFK. It is just a rule that carried over from before consistent refrigeration.

  4. An extra feather in his cap, a chance to set up Cory Dennis to make millions (his children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren) and never want for anything. I don't know about you guys, but setting up shit for generations, I would go for it. Health be damned. You will be revered as a patriarch of your family, the original "Rockefeller" of your family's history. Would anyone one of you pass up that opportunity? Especially if you thought your SIL was capable of that trajectory? That would be my sales pitch.

    Yes, Urban's primary home is still in Dublin, OH, right outside of Columbus. 

    I'm sure he has a bad ass house, but if you go on Realtor.com and look at the other houses in the neighborhood for sale it isn't a pretty picture. Just the aesthetics alone would make me want to move.

    I don't think you understand how well Ohio State takes care of its own, even the guys who get dumped like Bruce and Cooper.  There is a reason those guys and their extended families all remained in Columbus well after their tenures at Ohio State ended and it's not the winter weather.    

    Fred Akers and David McWilliams still live in Austin along with their extended families as well. A lot of former Longhorns move back to Austin after their NFL careers to start crazy miniscule businesses like making cupcakes. Anything to get back to their favorite town.

    I predict an immediate positive test spike this week because I’ve noticed an trend (100% anecdotal) of people waiting until mondays to get tested. I don’t know if this is for lower test costs or they just don’t want to interrupt their weekend. With an extended holiday weekend, I assume a rush of tests will be performed on Monday.

    Outside of front line responders, I don’t think there has been public announcements on the priority. I assume the first pass will be stingy given the relatively low availability. It also may not be equally distributed. My guess is that large hospital systems will get the majority. Even they will have to ration it based on priorities.

    My uneducated guess is that that everyone needs to count on another 3-4 months before vaccines are widespread. And that’s with zero problems either with distributing or the vaccine itself. 

    I would think it would go First Responders, elderly and immunocompromised, essential workers, then vaccinate based on population density. At least that makes the most sense. I don't fall into any of the first three, live in a rural area, so I would be down the line a ways, as I should be.

    It's legitimate that recovered COVID people should question whether they need a mask or not. But its impossible to tell the recovered people from the liars so the only clear method is to say everyone has to wear it. 

    What's going to keep people from lying about getting the vaccine and stop wearing their masks?

    Based on their postings on Facebook and twitter, they think and act like they are rock stars, so maybe we could have them wear a gold star or something to show their celebrity status, or maybe tattoo the date they had it on their arm, since they love to tell you when they had it.

    If you run into them and they aren't wearing a mask, and you ask them why, they could just roll up their sleeve and show the date they had it, or point to the star.

    The star idea is more visible though, so that the anti-mask types are pointing them out saying "look, they don't have a mask, why should I have one?"  You can respond "look at the gold star, they've already had it!"

  11. With 1:25 of Texans testing positive and either recovering or dying, what are post COVID survivors supposed to do? They have immunity and are non-spreaders, and there are quite a few of them. Do most of you just think they are uncaring "Dicks" if they don't wear a mask? Or do any of you consider that they had it and got over it? Should they just wear a mask to make others feel safe? Should they be required to wear "I Beat COVID" tee shirts?

  12. Dalton Domino, great songwriter, writes from his emotional scars. He drove an old Suburban I had to AA meetings in Lipan, Texas for a couple of months. He cleaned himself up and wrote a couple of great albums.

    He doesn't even have a live version of one of his best songs on YouTube:

    There is room for this thread as Chief explains.

    Check these guys out:

    Charley Crockett
    Tyler Childers (maybe he’s made it out of the hood now but I’m not sure)
    Kody West
    Sam Riggs
    Randall King (sounds more like traditional 90s country but still good)
    Mike and the Moonpies
    Nikki Lane (similar to Margo Price but she hasn’t made it yet)
    The Damn Quails (been around a long time)

    Great song, they haven't had any hits since:

    I'm guessing Koe Wetzel doesn't live in a trailer.  And if he does, it's just to play up the image.


    That said, I dig the spirt of the thread and hope to find some new shit in here.

    That would be correct. He is living in a $750k ranch house on about 100 acres. The owners are going through a divorce, I know the husband, he doesn't give two fucks if they tear it to pieces. Just less for the wife to get/keep.

  15. Yeah, when you're playing The Iron Horse Pub in Wichita Falls on Christmas night, you haven't made it. There is a treasure trove of good musicians and songwriters that have struggled for years, they can get lost in the Isabell/Sturgill thread, or you have to scroll through a lot to find them.

    I thought this is what the Jason Isbell and Sturgill thread was for...  

    They don't live in mobile homes any more. Mike Ryan does. Might be a good thread for "up and comers" who have never made it yet. They still play local bars, live in their cars, or with their parents, always trying to catch a break. They have regular 8-5 jobs. Like good ol' Erick Willis:

    I'm not big on turkey either. Thanksgiving is about the only time eat it. Deep fried. Dark meat.

    We eliminated the traditional foods about 3 years back, no one really liked turkey, dressing, etc... We usually do a prime rib roast, lamb chops, steaks, or burgers.

    So, Chief Jr. can sneak female companionship in without disturbing mom & dad?

    Yes, it was an easy sell. He got busted getting a blowjob on the side of the road, it cost us some cash to make the situation go away. Mrs. CHIEF is all in on "nice girls" being able to come over for a bangin'. She is really into saving money like that.

    Sounds like you're doing a lot right but...

    Do you recirculate air in the house?

    Keep strategic windows open and/or buy the high end virus capturing filter?

    Windows are open this time of year. Not sure about the filter, but CHIEF Jr.'s room is probably 60 feet from ours, and he is on a separate HVAC system.

    Sad panda!  I’ve been using just plain surgical masks for the most part.  Had a big box of them from when my dad had pneumonia and MSRA before he died.  I just have made a point not to spend much time indoors with other people, at all.  

    Bingo! That has been my family's MO since the pandemic started, keep moving. With a college age kid with a class load that MUST be done on campus, he is the one that will be the possible vector. He pretty much comes out of his room to eat, raid the fridge, normal college shit, but we do not stay next to him for extended periods. Family time is out on the back porch in the fresh open air. We went to an open air concert three months ago with 500 people packed on about an acre, no social distancing with about a 20 mph breeze. They had everyone's address to contact trace, and not one person came up sick.

  21. In those pictures he definitely out kicked his coverage. Probably a handsome stud when she married him, and was lucky to have him. That's the explanation I give to Mrs. CHIEF about our relationship after 27 years.
