  1. I was in second grade in the early 70's, in Cleburne, Texas. Cleburne was pretty much segregated by the railroad tracks and the Santa Fe  locomotive shops, a very blue collar town. As a white kid living on the west side, we didn't have any black kids until they started busing them over from the east side of town that year. It was a disaster They were terrified, and rightfully so. It manifest itself through acting out. They were quickly pegged as bad apples. You couldn't hang out with them or you were going to get into trouble as well. Just a fucked up social experiment that set back race relations for at least a decade. I can't imagine driving by your old school to a school all the way across town that you couldn't walk to or from. It made me really feel sorry for them once I was old enough to understand. 

    I've come to the conclusion that white people need to stop with ideas to improve race relations, and let black people tell us what will work, starting with equal treatment under the law.

    Both Charlie and Tom made the same damn mistake and didn’t hire the best staff possible.  Tom’s used up all his slack and now probably has to win this year in the hopes of rectifying that error and keeping his job. 

    My opinion is that Tom was afraid what would happen if he didn't get a staff on the road recruiting, and just went with his UH staff. If he waited around for the homerun hires, the 2017 class would have completely fallen apart. He had to pick his poison. I'm not sure if he had a handshake deal with his staff to guarantee them two years and the Sugar Bowl gave him hope that this staff, would indeed workout. That put him in the gar hole where he now finds himself. Ash had to have been a good coordinator, or he would not have been offered a head coach position. Yurcich's offense at Okie State speaks for itself. I'm cautiously optimistic.

  3. Mine is almost 22 years old now. Savor and relish these days my friends. Staying up and putting shit together on Christmas Eve is only brief, but will probably be some of the best memories you will ever make. Dry humping Mrs. CHIEF while performing acrobatics to pull the springs and hooking a hobby horse to the frame and laughing hard enough to bring you to tears is a special moment. Believe it or not, I envy each and every one of you that are experiencing this right now.

  4. We stop at the Alsup's in Hamilton on the way back from Austin on Christmas Day and buy every burrito in the glass case and eat them on the way back to Granbury. Always have grilled burgers for Christmas Eve at the MIL's house.

    That app is pretty good for sure.  I'm in the same boat.  I don't necessarily plan around moon phases, but I pay attention to them when I'm headed out or when I'm on the fence about a trip.  For example, we have a full moon this Saturday.  I was thinking of running to the ranch for a quick trip Saturday, back home early Sunday.  When I was reminded of the moon phase, I decided to scrap it.  Doesn't help that my dad sat in a blind last night and didn't see much movement.  Rut still hasn't kicked off in Kimble Co from what we've seen.

    Yeh, if it's a full moon, with no cloud cover, I just go to the lease and sleep late, sometimes slip out to hunt from about 11 till 2. But usually do something else on a full moon weekend.

    That's badass. I almost went to UC Irvine after UCSB because they have full engine program, unique in the country

    Thanks for the info. Differential Equations is kicking his ass right now, and he is a little down, I'll give him this tidbit to keep him "aligned".

    The only thing they want is auto pilot so they can surf the net instead of drive.  

    Kind of weird to think a large portion of those under 35-40 have never experienced not being in traffic to understand the olds love of performance.  Very few see the point and most care more about the interior than the performance. 

    I think performance enthusiasts under 40 are that way because of their upbringing. CHIEF Jr. eats and breathes performance vehicles, completely obsessed. I was the same way when I was his age. When he finishes his mechanical engineering degree, he wants to work for Koenigsegg or another exclusive car builder.

    Just for what it's worth, Ash to DC would almost definitely mean Overshown to LB. No idea whether that would be good or bad, but it would definitely be necessary.

    It would mean a lot of other things, too, but I really, really, really hope whoever is pulling the strings on our hiring process is asking the right questions, because these coaches need to be vetted for their own qualities/philosophies, but also with regard to how those qualities/philosophies play out given the roster they'll be dealing with. A rabid, manic, pipe-wielding middle linebacker with wheels is not going to magically appear just because we hire a new DC.

    Call Overshown whatever he wants to be called. But he would be a 1st round LB in the right scheme. I would spin him, and Tyler Owens to LB if they would consider it. Big safeties playing, as linebackers, close to the line for run support, but not being a liability in pass coverage is the ticket in the Big XII, AND the NFL. Tyler Owens' speed from sideline to sideline would make people forget Kenneth Murray at OU.

    We hang ours in a walk in cooler for a week or so after we field dress and skin. I’ve never had any issue with a gamey taste. Matter of fact, I prefer a thick cut backstrap to a filet. The deer’s food source also plays a role in the flavor profile.

    Don't have a walk in cooler, but something I've started doing the last 10 years or so, is pack all the meat into a cooler and keep it covered with ice for a week or two. Draining the blood off each day, and replenishing the ice. This drains the meat nicely of blood. I found this method out by just being too lazy to bone out and process what I had killed, and just kept it cold till I felt like doing it. Blind hog, acorn, and all.

    Good to know, Mrs. CHIEF's California office is in Perris, and she stays in Temecula. I'll have her ship some home.

  11. Your child's mental well being is always on your mind, as a parent. I  reinforce daily to CHIEF Jr. how much he means to me. I tell him all of my hopes and dreams, as well as his mother's are wrapped up in him, and that he is by far the best thing that has ever happened to us. My hope, is that knowing how much we care, will always keep him from doing something dumb or irrational. It's just a fact of the World we live in today. It's even more important to call them and remind them of this each day when they are off somewhere in college.

    Brisket, you are a great friend, and the caring and compassion you show is what humanity is supposed to show each other. So sorry to hear about this Judge. Another light in a dimming World that was snuffed out to soon.

  12. I use Ottavio EVOO from HEB as my everyday oil. I read one of the articles above a couple of years back and it showed to be legit. I have several special EVOOs for caprese salads, and to pour onto pasta dishes. San Saba Olive Company has some good ones, I also have some from a trip to Philly from the Tubby Olive, which are pretty good.
