  1. Just make sure to use the fucking rebate as it expires fairly quickly. Ask me how you find out when you misplace the card for a couple of months.
  2. She was dating Ray Benson for a while. Sat a couple of seats over from them backstage at The Last of the Legends tour with Ray Price, Willie and Merle
  3. Has anyone watched The Last Narc on Amazon Prime? I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but holy shit, they have what seem like some fairly heavy hitters backing up the possible CIA involvement in the torture/assassination of Kiki Camerena. One would think that they wouldn't attach their names to something like this without a very firm belief. It's only a four part documentary that runs less than four hours. They have interviews with the people that were supposedly involved with the kidnapping and torture. And I guess I should have searched more...already in the Prime recommendations.
  4. Just asking a theoretical question because I see both sides, but is taking the tax hit such a bad idea at this point? There are rumors, strictly rumors at this point, that higher capital gains rates are being considered (the 20% rate is lower than the more "traditional" rates of 25-25%). Also rumors of much decreased estate exemptions (possibly as low as $3.5 million down from roughly $11.5 million) and the repeal of the step-up basis (which would really hurt the long-term benefit of 1031 exchanges). Now getting those passed might prove impossible, but you never know. One thing that can be stated with reasonable certainty is that tax rates will go up in the future. I know lots of people that have 1031'd millions of dollars of land that are now considering selling and taking the tax hit to avoid issues (possible) for future generations.

  6. Ameros and gold bullion with Louie Anderson
  7. We might be officially off the rails when it comes to market balance. Put an offer in on a house for clients this weekend. It went on the market on Friday morning and by Sunday afternoon had 78 offers. People are offering 20% over asking and waiving the appraisal termination. There is absolutely no supply on the market. For example, after this weekend, the Pflugerville MLS area that had around 260-280 houses for sale usually, has a total of 9. Unless you have a mountain of cash, you aren't touching a house for the near future that I can see.
  8. You dramatically increase your chance of the blue screen of death
  9. Samsung S20 Ultra
  10. I love looking at y'alls pictures and wish I knew enough to justify a nice camera. As it is, I took this picture during the snow storm with my phone. I'd love to get it blown up but the quality just isn't there. PS...I also have no clue how to upload pictures, so if the size is too big and the site doesn't adjust let me know how to fix it.
  11. It could be a matter of numbers. I bet Dove Springs had maybe 150-200 people in line when we got there. This was right before they opened so it's a lot easier to check things than at Delco. My mom had a 1:30 appointment but we didn't really have anything going on, so I told her we'd get there early and see what happened. Got in line at 11:15 and she walked out of the waiting room door at 12:25. The line was getting shorter as the day went on. By the time we left, there weren't more than 50 people in line.
  12. Just checked with mom because I dropped her off then waited parked on the street. They did come by and check to see if you had paperwork while you were standing in line. She's not sure how closely they read it, but they making some attempt to make sure that you had an appointment.
  13. Yes. You had to show the paperwork to get into parking lot.
  14. One of the other sites for Austin is Dove Springs recreation center. It is smaller and very efficiently run. My mom just got through it in 1 hour including the 15 minute allergy wait.
  15. All you can eat Taco Bell. If they are taking me out, I'm taking as many of them with me as I can.
  16. Checking for an aunt...is it drive up or stand in line? She has bad knees and would have trouble with a long line.
  17. Big Chief (big sniff), the best
  18. And that's why I hope to be on the shorter end of that time frame.
  19. Quick question for those in the know. I purchased a few silencers and have waited patiently...until now. The check was cashed around July 22. I waited as long as I could stand and called the ATF today. They were approved on December 7th. Any idea on how much longer they'll be in jail?
  20. Surf Ballroom, Clear Lake, Iowa February 2, 1959 Elvis in Vegas Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr in Vegas (not a big fan of Sinatra)
  21. Also, (no CR) two of the other things Biden is rumored to be considering besides the capital gain tax increase, is severely limiting estate values (possibly as low as $3.5 million) and doing away with the step-up basis on death. Have also heard of death becoming a taxable event in that capital gains become immediately taxable (no one would have the cash laying around to cover that bill), no idea of the validity of that or any of the rumors to be honest. If all of that is on the table, it might make the sale at current tax levels a little more financially justifiable.
  22. Gorilla had remanufactured 200 gr 300blk that I bought a while back. Does remanufactured ammo give anyone pause in shooting?
  23. Our land had been fully developed for the Eagle Ford, but they have to come back and do a new lease if they want to go deeper.
  24. La Salle County. Contact price is $0.50/barrel. Lease was done probably 8 or so years ago, so I suppose that price could be low. Operator is EP so they are in bankruptcy. They are also going to be buying from two other wells on adjoining property but said they'll pay everyone the same price.
  25. Quick question for those in the know...we got a call from our producer that they are going to be fracking 5 wells in our area and they want to buy water from us. They are asking us to take a 20% cut in the contract price, which we aren't going to do. I think we could live with a 10% haircut if it would keep them coming back for more water. Does anyone know the going price per barrel in the Eagle Ford and does anyone think working with the producer will keep them coming back to buy more water over the long run?
