  1. The HEB's in Monterrey are glorious. I highly recommend a road trip.
  2. Finally caught up on the last couple of episodes. Like said, that was pretty much the perfect ending for the series, but if they can push out that kind of quality for another season or more I am in.
  3. Gotta get out and clean up these two feeder pens. Probably going to cut the top foot or so off of them, as the deer never jumped the fence last season and we ended up just feeding raccoons and a few other varmints. Hopefully that will be enough and I won't have to buy more cattle panels to make the pens bigger, as they were almost twice the price last time I checked. We also have to move these two tripod stands. And build a base for this blind (also gotta add a funnel so we have somewhere to pee without opening the door). I was planning on fixing up an old feeder in this hay enclosure, planting a small food plot, patching up the fence, and adding a bypass gate, but the guy running cattle on our family land has already done most of that so he can store hay there, so I gotta talk to him and see where we can build him another one as I know the deer frequent this corner. All of that is going to involve a lot of manual labor, and it's just been so hot this year. We've had decent rain, but it will probably have to wait a month or so for it to cool down a bit and fingers crossed the deer won't care. This last picture captures pretty well what it feels like about now. We gotta put the work in now so he will have a place to grow up hunting.
  4. Yeah, but it would take some time to work it's way through the courts. There would probably be a few years where the courts in some districts grant a stay and some don't before SCOTUS would take it up. And you also need cause to apeal to the federal courts, so someone would basically have to be arrested for defying it to even challenge it. At least that is my understanding of the process.
  5. Too dry and too hot. I've got a small enclosure where my grandfather used to put his round bales that I need to fix the fence and add a by pass gate to so I can put a feeeder in the middle and plant a small food plot, a couple of tripod stands to move, and a box stand that I need to build a base for and set it on top. It's just too hot to do that kind of work right now.
  6. Six is probably a little young for a handgun, but not out of the ordinary for something like a .22 while under strict supervision. Maybe they showed him how to shoot it thinking he would realize how powerful it was and have more respect for it? Regardless, they should have kept the keys to the safe somewhere where he wouldn't have access to them.
  7. Takes all day too cook up them birds, eh?
  8. She was reliving her memories as her present self. Any time she looked in a mirror the reflection was her younger self. They weren't trying to pull off her being a kid anymore. I assume because of the cost of de-aging her would have been too much.
  9. Maybe it's just really low octane gas?
  10. Daughter got sick last Friday, followed by me starting to get sick Saturday night. I had chills all night and then was fine by the next evening with just a lingering cough. She recovered about the same time. So about a day for me and two for her. Wife started to get sick night before last along with the two boys. She was sick enough she could barely get out of bed yesterday and took a test. Positive. I took a test this morning and tested positive as well, despite having been mostly over it for half of a week. She is still pretty sick, along with one of our sons. The other is only halfway sick still.
  11. It was still a subspecies, but I believe the population wasn't large enough to maintain healthy genetics, so they had to introduce a little outside blood.
  12. Also, the Florida Panther is actually a subspecies of mountain lions, despite being officially called panthers.
  13. Actually, the difference and whether there really is one between coyotes and red wolves has been debated for decades.
  14. I have a degree in wildlife. I am aware that they are two different creatures. But that doesn't change the fact that mountain lions have been called Panthers in the US since before it was the US.
  15. Panther is just a colloquial name for mountain lions.
  16. Saw one in Hallsville about 12 years ago. Was driving a county road, and jumped a doe by a creek bottom, and then looked over and saw it on the other side of a barbed wore fence running next to the truck. Asked around afterwards and I wasn't the only one to have seen it.
  17. At least one of them is a lizard person.
  18. So what kind of image could we expect if we point this baby at Proxima Centauri? The first thing I would be doing if I was in charge of this giant reverse space laser is trying to see what kind of information I could gather on the planets orbiting our nearest stars.
  19. Where were the good guys with guns? Seems like just a bunch of bad guys with guns.
  20. Albuquerque probably tops the list for cops doing stuff like this.
  21. DA’s office releases footage from Smith County constable’s alleged theft of home
  22. What does this have to do with pegging?
  23. The only left hand rifle I own is a caplock Lyman Great Plains Rifle. Something about having an exploding percussion cap a few inches away from your eyes made me want to get a rifle to where that is on the other side of the gun. My flintlock is right handed and I don't really have any issues shooting it.
  24. I started to watch the first episode and realized I'd forgotten pretty much everything that happened before, so I ended up watching the fifth season again. Just finished it. The shootout scene with Arthur was pretty awesome.
  25. Was an answer to people wondering how nobody else got hit is all.
