  1. This thread is the best. Whenever I see it bumped I get excited. Also, yeah, a single I beam... there's no one between here and there that makes one?
  2. I remember going there as a kid and catching giant perch, the size of a frying pan. That what tou caught?
  3. With a name like that, he's not going to be support 1 for long. Straight to the top!

    I've done well with texas rigged brushhogs. Greens, pumpkin, really any natural color.
  5. It was delayed a day due to wind iirc.
  6. This is from a few weeks back, but figured I needed to share. I told her I was going to go to Home Depot after work to get some tomato cages. I set them down on the back porch and then go inside to drop off on my work shit. Her: "Are those the tomato cages?" Me: "Yes." Her: "What if the kids hurt themselves on them?" Our kids are 11, 12, and 14... Me: "How would that happen exactly?" Her: "Oh, I don't know, just playing around." I laughed it off, went to the garden and stuck them into the ground. The next day, she sees them out the window and says "Oh, the spiky parts go into the ground." Me: wft
  7. So, like, how does this work? You are leased to a company who has contracts? Or they bid on deliveries? You are hoping to go out on your own, so that you could then place your own bids? Please forgive my ignorant questions, just interested in understanding how your industry works.
  8. I would too. I'm hoping for an offer along the lines of Internet points, a Best Buy coupon, and one beer at the next happy hour.
  9. My nephew's birthday party getting in the way of baseball... I have two in section 5, right behind home. Make me an offer.
  10. Your kids' biological parents share a grandparent?

    I think a lot depends on how much you want to spend. If you have a truck, there's not much difference in loading it yourself between a 10 ft. boat and a 12 ft. boat. You'll appreciate the additional space, even if you're just puttering around. They paddle better in a straight line, they hold up better in the wind, and they keep you higher up with less chance of dragging. At 5'10" I think you'd really be fine in a 10' boat, it's just that a 12' boat is a little better at everything except price when compared to it's 10' counterpart. Assuming you're in Louisiana, I think you're right on point in wanting a sit on top. They're just easier to get in and out, and being higher up isn't usually an issue. I think that pescador above is a pretty solid deal if you're not sure how much you're going to use it. The sun wear is clearly visible, but if the hull is fine (and assuming the dude's been paddling around in sandy bayous), it probably is, that's a good deal. I had that same boat and loved it. Only complaint was the seat. There's not much cushion there, but that's a small complaint, especially if you're not going to be doing any overnight trips with it.

    That sounds awfully tempting... My Pelican hate is probably unjustified based on their price point. It was my first, and I discovered quickly that I hated that kayak, but loved kayaking. It wasn't stable, it didn't track that well, it didn't have much of a carrying capacity, the plastic was inferior, and it was constructed in two pieces, lending itself to leaking pretty often when weighed down with gear and beer. That being said, it was $200 brand new, and I probably wouldn't have got into kayaking if I couldn't find one that I considered affordable at the time. This was probably 10 years ago now, and maybe they've made big strides on quality and design, but I just still have a bad taste in my mouth.

    Third. I wouldn't buy one for any price. Fool me once...
  14. I imagine you get a lot of pussy if you're the Duke of the Riviera.

    Agree with both the comments, it's a great starter boat. You'll love the design, tracking, and features, but that thing has been sitting in the sun since it was first purchased, and/or somebody used the everloving shit out of it based on the color of the plastic and the seat. Make sure you look really carefully at the hill to make sure there's no cracks or anything super thin.
  16. Bat shit crazy? That's the only thing I could figure.
  17. That's pretty much what I remember. A foreign language is required at UT, and not at OU, football player or regular student. He wasn't eligible at UT because he didn't want to be (I remember his quote being something like "there's no way I can pass spanish. No way.") My 11 year old daughter is enrolled in that same course. Once he wasn't admitted to UT, he was then able to enroll at OU, which was his wish within 24 hours of signing day. He was also already there in norman prior to actually being able to enroll from what I remember.
  18. Yes... just what today was needing.
  19. If it's really 2 months vs. 10-12 days, then you're comparing UHT (the half gallon) and traditionally pasteurized (the gallon). There's no other explanation. So the two are kind of tangerines and oranges. Pretty close to the same thing, but not. It's not about the size of the container so much as you're comparing Pasteurized milk with Ultra-pasteurized/UHT pasteurized milk. It' s not necessarily two different milks when it leaves the farm, it just becomes two different milks when processed for a different container. I'm guessing as to the reason as to why HEB Organic milk is UHT in half gallon sizes but traditionally pasteurized in full gallon sizes, and maybe they do both both ways, it's just not available at your HEB (assuming it's even open). My guess is that the reason for using UHT for the half gallon has to do with demand. I'd assume that gallon sizes are in higher demand and produced in more plants. It can then make its way to the local HEB quickly to be consumed quickly, with higher guaranteed product turnover. Half-gallon, on the other hand, not being in as high of demand, is packaged in fewer places, has to be delivered over a larger area, and doesn't have the turnover of it's larger counterpart. So it's processed using a UHT method to make sure it lasts.
