  1. No laying pipe jokes? This place is slipping......
  2. Was it live, because I'd guess it was edited and they had more than one take. I'd love nothing more than to see QE set the league on fire, but I've noticed the same characteristics that you mention.
  3. He added a SC.....to a Maverick? I like him even more now...
  4. Yep! I loved it. It was a playground for kids that were into all that stuff. I had so much stuff from there.
  5. That time again. Cousin's putting in work with help from a few neighbors on horseback.
  6. That is the jinkiest looking little truck ever made. If you need a few bags of mulch moved, call me.....
  7. Hey! Born and raised there. It died in the late 90's when I finally left because it was already getting too god dammed crowded. Anyone remember the "Academy" on the east side of I35 back when it was an Army-Navy surplus store? I think it was an exit north of the 38th 1/2 exit. By the train tracks. We used to ride our bikes and hang out there. My first hunting gear came from that place. Canteens. Vietnam-era boots. Heavy, cotton camo BDU's, shotgun shell bandoleer. That place and the place across from McBrides. I could spend all day there and often did. This was long before that big Fiesta Texas went in. There was a strip mall there with lots of cool stores....I want to say a Wilson was there? Down 38th 1/2 on the east side there was the little gas station where me an the malcontents mastered Donkey Kong Jr. and stole nudie mags. Next door was this cool place called "Patos Tacos" where pops always got us breakfast tacos. Grew up near there. We'd ride our bikes to Dish-Faulk and get in mid-game with no tickets. Crossing that 38th 1/2 bridge over I35 always scared the crap out of me on my little bike. Good times being a feral, latchkey kid surviving on arguably the best TV dinners ever made after school: Nighthawk Salisbury steak and tots.
  8. Unloaded and they still took it? Seems an overreaction, but it's TSA, so nothing surprises. Mine were loaded, so I counted my blessings and we made the flight with a VERY pissed off wife next to me
  9. 110% - that's clickbait nonsense. Heard brakes failed in the lift as the plane was being loaded and both the plane and tow-car went wide, people scattered and they both went over the side. Carriers are ringed with a dozen support/attack ships, multiple subs and concentric rings of security. Is this lady saying some duded in a shrimp boat got through all that and were in range to threaten a battle carrier? Lol, no.
  10. Nice!
  11. Elevation - ugh, sigh.....hotel room, curious about it.
  12. There it is. Right there. You finally said the quiet part out loud.
  13. Nothing in any of your posts is even in the same zip code as "logic"
  14. '88 F150, Gray with a red stripe and red vinyl interior. Extended cab, two tanks, manual transmission, 4x2,and those bad-ass triangle windows that help when the AC is sucking. That truck was the tits. Had that great inline-6. Drove from HS, to college, then multiple states across the country after college. Tranny went out in KY, and a true shade-tree mechanic was able to salvage one from a junk yard, less than $2K later, off I went.
  15. Oh man, first look at Montana Knife Company - they sell out in minutes upon every release. Think guys waiting to click the refresh button ala Taylor Swift tickets. Half-Face Blades is another. Super large following. Winkler is pretty damn popular Helm Forge is a local Texas guy Toor Knives RMJ T.Kell Knives
  16. I always heard it was emission concerns. All other light trucks and unaffected other than price
  17. Biggest difference is the engine - they have these small, bulletproof (literally) diesel engines. It doesn't meet fuck-all emission ratings but could drive to the Moon and back, hence it's not sold in the US.
  18. Bigger battery required = more weight = beefier suspension, brakes, and transmission = more cost. Damn Teslas can weigh more than a half-ton ICE truck in many cases.
  19. Just bring the GD Hilux over here - those damn things are indestructible.
  20. When those six bags of mulch won't move themselves...;)
  21. Probably about as safe as one as well. Why not just grab a used Taco if you need a small ranch vehicle or a used 4-banger car like a Corolla or something stupid-reliable for a 3rd car?
  22. It's more for the Ozempic crowd. It's hyper-aggressive but it works for obvious reasons. You can add in the beforementioned "potato-hack" as well. You're basically taking in plenty of fluids, your body starts burning fat reserves, and you can be somewhat satiated with as many raw/semi-cooked veggies as you can stand. You're just forcing your body to cannibalize it's reserves and my guess is that it does suck, but it also works. My assumption is if you can endure such a transformational process, there is little that seems daunting after that. It's a "how-to-be-a-bad-ass" starter kit. For everyone else, eat "real" food, get plenty of fluids, and get off the couch every day and do something.
