  1. Lemons into lemonade... sometimes dealerships sell off inventory at steep discounts after hail, right? I'd be in the market for a truck that got hit by the ugly stick if it mechanically is new. I try to be a drive til it falls apart type owner.

    It’s electric in the Alamo Dome with Army here on a Friday night. I think they emptied all the local military bases, with soldiers that have nothing else better to do on an early Friday evening!

    My home town Runners better “buckle up”, as it’s 14-0 Army! Late 1st Qtr.

    Hook’em!!!

    I've heard before many enlisted don't give a shit about some letter-of-reference-from-my-Senator-having officers team. But I've also heard otherwise. I myself come from a long line of cowards and deferments, so I don't rightly know. 

  3. I mostly watch NFL on mute. But jeez, how bad does Romo suck now? He was good first year... early onset dementia? Maybe he just is lazy? Or he sucks when he isn't cribbing from pre-game conversations with coaches? 

  4. It would be incredibly easy to pull together a database whereby defense attorneys or the public could document instances of police getting caught fibbing in official statements or testimony. A local cop wikileaks, basically. All of which could he used to impugn any particular cop so documented as being external evidence that goes to a cops credibility. But I don't have the guts to do that - that's a great way to get framed up and have your life ruined. 

  5. I think I dug about 8 buckets, but I have a new place to put the dirt I'm moving. Weather turning enough to stay overnight amd work at dusk and again the next morning.

    New ramp. I figure I can make it tailgate high.

    do you get internet at the bottom of the hole? How else will you communicate with us when you inevitably get trapped down there?

    Since the property is > 10ac, I told my wife to just declare it a private cemetery and move on. See Health and Safety Code 711.008

  7. I'm about 8 ft deep. Nine on one side. Too hot to dig much this summer. I should be able to put the the next 4 ft of lagging/set in this fall.  I've cut the 4x6s and the 4x4s, but not the 2x sides yet. Then downward to 12, and so on. I figure 4-6 ft a year is a good pace 

  8. Thanks for the input! I was looking to JD because a dealer is 8 miles down the road. But i think the Ford dealer in town also sells Kawasaki. I'm generally okay with 2WD. If the ranch is so soggy I need 4wd, then I'm probably not up there anyway. My truck is 2wd, and I'd probably park the UTV up at the cabin which is damn jear a quarter mile from the county road. But... if the delra to 4WD is not too much, I'll consider it. 

  9. Pondering buying a John deere gator tx. I like that it doesn't go more than 20mph, since I'm sure my kids will drive it fairly often. 

  10. it's been hot. Down at the bottom its... sligjky less hot? Anyway, not much progress between the heat and vacations.

    Not sure what kind of snake. I choose to believe coachwhip or rat snake.

    I put down some foam tape to better seal the top, and realized the two short sides had a bug gap. Ate 2 cans of foam and need more. I think I will drill holes and do foam all across the top.

  11. Here is a pup abandoned by its mother because of fireworks on the beach, Lincoln City.

    Did mom ever come back? I don't know. I hear this pup was seen last week turning tricks for bits of Mo's fish & chips in Newport.

    In-laws live a quick drive from this... my brother in law and I do the ten falls trail from opposite directions to see who can finish it the quickest.

    The website says 7.2m, one of the signs there says 8.7m, buy according to my watch if you do every spur to see ever waterfall it was like 11.1m.
