  1. That is my issue as well. Now that summer is rolling around and there is more stuff to do outside it makes it tough to catch up.
  2. There is a state highway near my home that I drive on everyday. People habitually drive in the left hand lane at a rate of speed that dictates that they should stay in the right hand lane. This highway has a particularly long left hand turn lane that can accumulate a lot of cars in it to prevent them from backing up into the highway to turn left. I will get into the left hand turn lane, at its beginning, to make the forthcoming left hand turn. Invariably, in doing so I often pass the slow poke drivers in the left hand land only to have them almost hit me as they clumsily wait to the last moment to get into the turn lane without paying attention.
  3. When you are cordial enough to let someone into traffic only for them to be the slowest driver on earth and you can not now get around them because of a steady stream of cars coming around the left hand lane.
  4. Right or wrong, I say, “time outs”.
  5. All bets and asks are off then. My bad. Somehow I seem to remember something now.
  6. Ok, I guess friends and family trumps complete strangers even if he is a fellow Horn!!! lol
  7. Score?
  8. I work remotely due to Covid. I can work from anywhere. I am looking to avoid the oppressive East Texas heat this summer. Got a spare bedroom or sofa? I am honest, dependable, hard-working and self-sufficient. I wouldn't be in the way. I just need a place for a base of operations.
  9. Ok, that explains it. I guess you live close enough to make day trips? Live in which direction?
  10. Dude, you are killing me with these pics. I was up in Yellowstone and GTNP this past October and this is making me want to go back now.
  11. Some of these replies should be in the “Wives and the Stupid Shit They Say/Do” thread.
  12. Care to elaborate more? Inquiring minds want to know...
  13. Refuse to click on the image. Do not want to see.
  14. Some on here have it all figured out until the first chunk of hide is missing due to a ferocious animal bite or your entrails are laid open from some slashing action from a claw. I have been bit a couple of times by a dog and it happens before you even know it.
  15. Back when talk shows were fun.
  16. That is for bull nettle stings
  17. Jacked up jaw...check broken glasses...check whiplash...check head injury from fall...check loss of credibility...check shit in underwear...check
  18. I had to run on a treadmill once in Lima, Peru at a “clinic” prior to visiting a mine at elevation. Quite the experience I must say.
  19. Since she obviously does not have proper gas cans, how does she expect to transfer that gas into a tank? I know of several possible remedies but for some reason I do not think that she has thought that far ahead.
  20. Awesome experience. Glad you survived. I have had close encounters with moose and bear while hiking. Coming across wild animals can be both thrilling and scary at the same time.
  21. Physically how far were you from the wolves?
  22. I had a news feed that Acho would be considered to take Aikmen’s place in the broadcast booth along side of Buck should Aikmen decide to leave. What a beating that would be. I hope that is not true.
  23. Union Pacific released in 1939 starring Barbara Stanwyck with Joel McCrea, Brian Donlev and Robert Preston. A railroad agent (McCrea) faces treachery from an old friend (Preston) as he struggles to ensure the completion of the Union Pacific. Both McCrea and Preston have set their sights on Stanwyck, the Postmistress for the railroad. It was directed by Cecile B. DeMille so naturally you can expect a big production. Union Pacific loaned four 1860's period locomotives to the production along with 37 railcars. The production also laid 6 miles of railroad track which meant they owned their own railroad. As such, the production company was granted a Regulation Railroad Operating License from the Interstate Commerce Commission. I enjoyed the movie. It does seem to get lost when you mention all of the other great movies released, in arguably the greatest movie year ever, 1939. This movie has it all fake Irish accents, good guys, bad, guys, Indians, and comic relief sidekicks. Stand By for Action released in 1942 starring Robert Taylor with Charles Laughton, Brian Donlevy and Walter Brennan. An Ivy League reservist (Taylor) and a bootstrap veteran (Donlevy) save the convoy of an admiral (Laughton) during World War Two. Though not a comedy this is a light-hearted war film. It has its light moments rescuing a boatload of women and children. Plus Laughton pays an affable admiral while trying to be stern and serious has some quite funny lines to say. A typical hero-in-the-end movie. It is worth the watch just for Laughton's performance.
  24. She will not know that. Expect disaster!
  25. There is a chance that the gas will make that plastic soft and could rupture and spill. Dumb.
