  1. Flip... maybe better said as "switch" as in from one side to the other. I can only dif out so much before I have to move the ladder. The braces are every 48".
  2. Hole! It was 35 at the hole, bu5 I was sweating. Of course that's with a dust mask eye protection, and hearing protection. top down: depth of dirt on the one side before I got started: approx height of shelf I am working on: 34" down to 22". So about 32" x 8" x 12" excavated today. 8 buckets worth: flipped the ladder:
  3. #hottake Remember the lesson of Kobe: rape the cute blonde in the anus, don't knock them up, and then buy your wife a huuuge diamond. Then your career will survive a lengthy in-season oit of state trial, and one day you'll have giant murals next to Austin area Dunkin Donuts and everyone will forgive you.
  4. first off, that diy cross is AMAZING! I went to a local coin shop about trading my silver for gold, and he gave some jive about jammed up refineries and whatnot. Said it would probably take 78 buffalo to get 1 gold eagle. Just screwing with me? I do a monthly silver club and the stack is heavy enough, and the ratio seemingly favorable enough, for me to trade up.
  5. I think we can maybe have Texas v Michigan 4 times in 5 years with 4 different Michigan men at the helm.
  6. Pretty dope of UT to make it happen, too!
  7. Listen. when I'm jackhammering away I always notice the bored look in her eyes.
  8. LFG! Concrete saw. Okay, it was like 42 at the ranch, but probably a balmy 58 in the hole. It was wet. Dirty. Dusty. I wore eye protection (over my glasses), hearing protection, and a dist mask. I couldn't see shit. It kinda worked. But to be honest, just pecking away with the smaller hammer drill was seemingly just as effective and a lot less wet. I got out 5 buckets. Meh. I did tidy up my little filled in drainage and drove my maverick across it, so that was cool.
  9. I hope to have an update Friday! I'd been working on some amateurish road work (to go with me amateurish hold digging). But I got something that I hope helps push deeper.
  10. Any time I see a runner out there I think "good on you." And when I see an old or fatty out there, it goes triple. Even just walking - my mom spent more than a year is assisted living - good gawd walking and mobility makes all the difference. Keep it up. Dont sweat the times, think about doing it every week so you can do it years down the road. Im 46 and don't run all that much anymore. A 5k slow grind os fine by me. But I have gotten into the rucking fad. I haul 30lb now. Used to be sand in watter bottles, but I got myself a wild gym feather (it has hip pads if I want to do more like backpacking). Boy and I signed up for Philnont next summer.
  11. My new thing is pro-SROs. My brother in undiagnosed mentally ill, living on the streets (in a car). I cant afford to rent him an apartment. But if a SRO were maybe $500/mo he wouldn't be on the street. And that, I believe, is better for everyone. Nobody wants an SRO around them - and I get that. So out it in some industrial zone with a bus stop.
  12. my employer doesn't pay well. We have gone to 3 days in office, 2 at home. As a manager the only benefit is that I can take away WFH for low performers. That's a handy tool to push out marginal folks. But in the long run my organization - like every organization - competes for talent in the free market. Salary and non-monetery benefits (like telecommuting) make up the compensation mix. We will either have to pay market rates, or offer flexibility. Offering neither is a dead end.
  13. anybody have a cz 600 trail? Kinda want to get one in 7.62x39. I really want a scout 7.62x39, or at least something with function iron sights. But thats simply not a product on the market in 2025.
  14. I like the delta 8, puts me to bed for 8.5 hours within 30 minutes every time. I
  15. means a 80:1 ratio if anyone wants to trade silver for gold
  16. Damn right. And I hear dem Jayhawk hand-dug wells ain't exactly straight
  17. if you french fry when you should've pizza'd, you're going to have a bad time.
  18. So the rich kids got special favors. Call me shocked.
  19. I cant believe I am the dickhead who has to ask: So.... did the fire melt steel?
  20. I am into this. What do I search for on the real estate sites? I want to sit on a pile of invested equity and rent or own a place with such good paid flr maintenance that when I die it's 18 months before anybody notices my dessicated corpse.
  21. engines falling off are uncommon in part because the temporal wormholes they cause.
  22. boys first buck. 9pt, pretty wide spread for our area. I am actually more proud of passing up the 8+ throng of milling does and bucks last night. Just no way to have an ethical shot. Easily could have winged one behind. (And I hate cleaning in the dark.) Savage in 7mm-08. Last years Christmas present. Mills county. Quartering toward. Wet spring, good growth. Some of the highest grass I've seen here (since 2007). Many of the does have healthy twins. Almost no mesquite beans and a small oak mast this year, though. I am also thrilled of no pressure the rest of the season. Can pass on those damp freezing mornings. My ass was cold enough at 42. Back to cleaning.
