  1. It's not always trying to keep up with the next guy - I've worked with so many businesses run by people with great ideas and abysmal execution and implementation. Businesses are still run by people - people who get greedy, lazy, or take their eye off the ball and have to scramble to try and hide their mistakes. Or markets shift, and your previous monopoly isn't worth shit, and you have no idea how to actually compete and execute, so shit like this happens.
  2. I remember it well. The complexity of the offense doesn't mean much when the other team can't really stop it.
  3. Non-stop here in N. Metroplex. Yard is happy. Dogs are not.
  4. Redundant thread title is redundant
  5. I rehabbed what I was told was a torn rotator. Fuck that surgery and year PT. I did the same, worked around the impacted area and strengthened everything to the point that the only issue I have with that arm is range of motion. The reason why pushups/pullups are so universally beneficial is that they are compound exercises. Same with squats, rucking, etc. Stuck inside all day yesterday and on calls, so I'd go on mute and banged out 10 sets of 20 pushups and 10 sets of 20 dips. Sore this morning so I know I did something worth recovering from.
  6. Hadn't seen this. Good on everyone for supporting one another. I do quite a bit of bodywork stuff and it helps. Augmenting pushups with pullups helps quite a bit along with bodyweight squats and rucking + normal gym stuff.
  7. Yep, what I told her and she kind of freaked. Has two small dogs, etc. Backs up to a creek/greenbelt so the little dude was just out doing snek shit. She ended it with a shovel. Never had much fear of snakes. We used to have rattlesnake roundups at our place back in the day so I helped handle/manage hundreds of them. Also didn't like seeing them all killed so I leave them alone - except water moccasins. Fuck them....
  8. Girl working for me, very pissed off and very much still alive sticky-snek
  9. AND.....90% of the class hasn't bailed in the subsequent years
  10. Mom made them all the time. Spine bones/vertebrae gave them a little extra texture.
  11. 365 is about as solid as they come. Wildly popular and Sig hit a home run with this one. It's my daily carry and have had zero issues of any kind over the years with it.
  12. We got absolutely pounded yesterday. Thunder and lightning were so intense one of the dogs shit on the rug.....scared shitless, literally. *now I need a new dog*
  13. No laying pipe jokes? This place is slipping......
  14. 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.
  15. He added a SC.....to a Maverick? I like him even more now...
  16. Yep! I loved it. It was a playground for kids that were into all that stuff. I had so much stuff from there.
  17. That time again. Cousin's putting in work with help from a few neighbors on horseback.
  18. That is the jinkiest looking little truck ever made. If you need a few bags of mulch moved, call me.....
  19. 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.
  20. 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
