  1. Agreed, 407 is not good. Tried twice and wasn’t impressed
  2. She did mention that last night matter of fact! J/k I had a 90yj that I loved but damn if you had a head wind or were going uphill those 112 horses were struggling

    Countryisms

    My grandpa used the term “post turtle”. I.e. that fella is in way over his head; he shouldn’t have gotten that job; he’s a post turtle. 10 yr Cknight asked what a post turtle was and it was explained this way: a post turtle is a turtle that is put on top of a fence post in the middle of the country. He doesn’t know how he got there, what he’s going to do and how he’s going to get off. That’s a post turtle
  4. It’s crazy how different parts of the country have different selections. I’m in Southern California for a wedding and the local liquor store has cases of buffalo trace and eagle rare as well as numerous EC12 ($74), WLW ($799) and the most of the BTAC. I haven’t seen mass quantities of ER10 in the metroplex in a long time
  5. Grandpa always said that there are two kinds of animals: animals that make you money and animals that screw with the animals that make you money. Sounds like our families would have got along!
  6. For any of you guys in the metroplex; Specs in Lewisville had McKenna 10 on the shelf
  7. We limited Sunday evening outside of Lufkin and the pup did really well. Also, shot my first banded dove! I’ll try to figure out how to upload some pics
  8. Good luck today; I’ll be out this evening trying to get a few! A horns victory; a limit of birds and getting to watch my dog work! Doesn’t get much better
  9. I’ve got a lot of fun memories of being the “bird dog” for my dad and his buddies. They would shoot and drink beer and I’d go chase down the birds. It is kinda sad though as almost all those properties are now subdivisions
  10. That is some excellent eating right there!
  11. Getting excited about dove/teal this year. I’ve got a Boykin spaniel that’s doing really well and can’t wait to get her on some live birds
  12. I got to shoot a older 8 point Saturday evening. He is not a high scoring deer but definitely mature 17 3/4” inside spread and weighed just under 170 lbs on the hoof. I’ll post pics if I can figure it out
  13. That's the one and that guy is a crook. I'm trying to remember some other prices: ER10: $39; RY10 $69 (had 5 bottles); McKenna10: $32. The Kentucky Owl at $100 over MSRP just pissed me off.
  14. Bottle king in east Fort Worth has two bottles of Weller 12 on the shelf for $70, three bottles of OWA at $50 and then for only $299...Kentucky Owl
  15. Costco in Lewisville had stagg jr. on the shelf for $59. I picked up a bottle but haven’t tried it yet. Did I do good or not?
  16. Bottle King off of eastchase in east Fort Worth had bottles of Weller 12, Weller antique, Blantons, staff jr., Elijah Craig 12 year and some ER on the shelf. I just asked away with a 12 and antique but he marks them up($70 12 and $50 for antique)
  17. For cheap drinking and good scenery on 7th; I love Chimys off of Foch Street. Happy hour is 3-7 I think with $1.50 tacos; $2.50 drafts and $3 double wells
  18. We went to the arts festival Saturday and hit up Heim before. IMO it has fallen off significantly since the food truck at the old location by the Republic Bar. It wasn't bad by any means but about on the same par as Rudy's. Art Festival was great as usual; the rain drove a lot of people off so the crowds were light.
  19. This is our old girl sitting in the sunflowers and avoiding the sunlight! (Mrs Cknight is a frog hence the collar)
  20. Mrs. Cknight was out of town last weekend so picked up a 1.75lb prime tomahawk ribeye from Costco. Did a reverse sear on the WSM and it turned out great!
  21. I ran the KO2 on my truck and really liked them; they had a really tough sidewall which is handy filling up feeders and driving around in mesquite country. My previous set of tires were the Michelin AT 2's. They were great tires but definitely more of a highway tire than an all terrain. I ran Nitto's about 8 years ago and never liked them; they wore fast IMO.
