    Two scenarios so far are plausible. He got busted running around or he doesn't want to be on FB so she puts his name on there so he can be tagged by family for shit he couldn't care less about. 

     

    I have only one buddy with a joint account, it's cause he simply doesn't give a fuck. His wife is also older than him, insanely jealous, and thinks the wimenz are always trying to steal him. He brilliantly uses that to his advantage.

    Me and a couple friends are running lines and camping out on the Colorado this weekend. We’ve probably got around 35 fish so far.

    Humpback blues have to be the meanest sumbitch in local waters. Only fish I know that will actively try to bury a barb in ya.

  3. Just got back from Philly. Stayed at the Kimpton Monaco, our room overlooked Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell, I think it was $229 a night. We used points. Get a ticket for the tour, they’re free. If you have a some time to kill before the tour, we enjoyed the Museum of the American Revolution, it was about a block and a half down the street. 

    Reading Terminal Market was really cool as well. The gal at the oyster bar has spectacular RATs.

    I have 2 behind and might keep buying.  I like it that much.  Anyone else with me?

    Bought two bottles of 1910 from Lakeline Total, had a bunch more in stock. $50 a pop.

    That looks like a fun place.  Definitely suggesting that to him as a possible dinner.  

    We liked it. It was only a half block from the W.

    I would definitely recommend Carmine's Italian as well, it was real easy on the pocketbook and is about 4 blocks north of The National Archives building. Great spot for a quick lunch without getting too far off of the beaten path.

  6. My old man's Escalade is the biggest piece of shit he has ever owned. Great drivetrain, but the electrical and fucking plastic door handles, break, or go on the fritz monthly. Will never own a Cadillac product.

  7. Was going to put this in "Can You Help Me With This", but have a bit more trust in the posters over here. We are retiring the 4Runner from our road trip vehicle, and started looking for a big comfortable sedan. Mrs. CHIEF and I both work from home, so this will be her vehicle to drive to Houston a few times per year, and runs down to Austin (180 miles) from Granbury for football games. We rented a 740 last weekend to drive from DC to Philly, we loved the space, and the smooth ride. Would probably look for a 2016-17 750LI. Had a couple of buddies tell me the main issue they had with their BMWs, is that they don't ever have an engine service light come on, they just leave you on the side of the road. 

    I know there are several of you that have owned BMWs over multiple vehicles, and multiple years. Both myself, and CHIEF Jr. are mechanically inclined (he is working as a boat mechanic, while in college), so we can do maintenance and general repairs ourselves. Just looking for something reliable,  just don't want Mrs. CHIEF broken down on the side of the road in Greenspoint.

  8. Wanted to thank you all for the Washington recs. It was the cherry blossom festival weekend. The museums were packed, so we cherry picked the main exhibits we wanted to see. Air and Space was about 50% closed for renovation, which sucked. We saw what was left, then hit up the National Gallery of Art, Natural History, American History, and Halocaust museums. Also hit the National Archives, saw the Dec of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights. The food was superb, went to BLT Steak the first night ate the wagyu ribeye, and two wagyu ribeye caps, then we walked back by The White House on our way back to the W:

    The next day we had lunch at one of CHIEF Jr.'s picks, Carmines. Best lasagna I've had in a long time, great place and cheap:

    Made it to Le Diplomate on Saturday night, had the Petit Plateau with CHIEF Jr., some escargot, and Mrs. CHIEF had another steak. Got out a lot cheaper than BLT Steak:

    Next morning we had brunch reservations at Old Ebbitt. Went with the bone marrow, salmon pate' and half of these oysters:

    After that it was off to Philly, rented a big black 740LI for the trip. Mrs. CHIEF drove a ways, then unleashed CHIEF Jr. behind the wheel:

    Stayed at the Kimpton Monaco across the street from Independence Hall, walked to Morimoto and dropped about $600 on dinner. Kobe at $45/oz. CHIEF Jr. and I ate 4 ounces each, he had the omakase, which was weird with how picky he is, but he ate it all:

    Next day, we hit Reading Terminal Market, ate more oysters. Was gonna hit DiNic's, but was afraid we couldn't eat all of the sandwich, so I ended up with a grill cheese from Shepherd Valley Farms cheese company, insanely good. The Italian broad at the oyster counter had some really nice RATs, but we were sitting directly across from people so, unfortunately, I was unable to get pics.

    Was a great time, will be going back since the Mrs. home office is in Arlington.

  9. Lesbian SJW's who obviously couldn't live with the shame of their peers if CPS took their children away, and deemed them unfit mothers. Tell the kids they have the sniffles, here is some benadryl tablets, and a Cherry Coke to wash it down (laced with Children's cherry flavored Benadryl). Take a nice road trip out on the Pacific Coat Highway, pull up and admire the view from the lookout. Lock the doors and windows and in 5 seconds drive over the cliff. Even the teenagers wouldn't have had time to react. Pretty simple opinion. That and $2.50 will get you a cup of coffee.

    Doesn't really take away anything from the political stance, just a tragedy. It happens in liberal and conservative households. Emotions are emotions.

    I was dropping my kid off at school this morning and Dorbah walked in front of my car.  He looked at me...I threw him a hook em and gave him a "you know what's up" nod.  He smiled big, gave me a chin nod of acknowledgment and kept walking.  Pretty sure that meant something.

    Doing God's work right there, brother.

  11. I'm anything but a conservative, you stupid motherfucker. I'm for a voucher system for healthcare, education, and even for vouchers to move those with no means to move, to be able to move to an area with greater opportunity, (truck drivers, cooks, retail sales, maid service in places like North Dakota, Midland and Odessa) even vouchers to subsidize their housing until they get on their feet. I am NOT for just giving people money, or assistance to just sit in an area with no employment and very little economic opportunity.

    Our country is failing these people by not moving them to areas to make the most of their possible opportunities. 

    Swedens VAT is how they pay for things. It sits at about 25%. Our highest sales tax around here is about 8.25%

    One of two things will happen, demand for the product will go down, due to the higher price, or the price will come down to decrease demand under that scenario. It sure as hell has worked for them. Even true Swedish Democratic Socialists have come to an agreement. The last 10 minutes of the video it points you to at http://www.freetochoose.tv/program.php?id=sweden has discussion of why it would work in America, but the two political sides are two polarized to sit down and have an adult conversation like Sweden had too.
