  1. One wall of my dentist’s office is wallpapered with the blueprints of the office. I usually set where I can see the electric load calculations and go through them to see if they are correct.
  2. Props to the rescuer but that looks more like heavy mono netting than FO cable.
  3. For all you old guys, Triumph has announced a 2026 reunion tour with all 3 original band members and Phil X helping on guitar. 3 dates in Tx touring with April Wine in support.
  4. What? No $500 Van Staal’s? Don’t be poor.
  5. This came through my camera today in E Tx. I think he’s my target for next weekend
  6. Sold another 20 head of yearlings off a different pasture a week ago. Avg $1900 for 550-600lbers. Nice chunk of income for operating partnerships.
  7. This is a great buck. If he travels in the same direction each evening, try to find a hide spot downwind from the direction he will approach. Figure out a travel path to get to that hide that doesn’t cross his path. If you don’t roll around in cow shit, Break off some cedar boughs and rub them on you

  10. We did a couple different parts of it on weekend training hikes for our Philmont trips. Just me, but I wouldn’t hike in the NF during hunting season. Too many rednecks thinking the forest is their own. We did a CCW loop around through the Little Lake Creek Wilderness Area, leaving from TH3. It was wet during one trip and the trail was a slog the whole way. We got water at one stream but it was silty and clogged our filters pretty bad so I would have non-filter sterilization methods in addition you don’t cache. I think you can camp anywhere along the trail but there were a few designated campsites. There is a guidebook on the trail available on Amazon: Hiking The Lone Star Trail - Karen Somers. Seems like I read some posts on a website/forum with detailed information too but where escapes me.
  11. We just sold a bunch of yearling steers and heifers weighing 500-650lbs for $300-$375/cwt. Averaged about $1950 ea which is really nice for us small scale cow/calf operations.
  12. This. Probably don’t need to worry about the twist rate. I have shot a few hundred of these through a youth single shot bolt action 22 and they are very quiet without using a suppressor. If you can’t find the Aguila’s, look for some CCI 22 lr 40grn hollow point subsonic. They are pretty quite out of the same 22.

  14. Boating accident, Probably paddling a canoe with his whole armory and it tipped over
  15. Is the core of that door wood or composite? For composite, I’d probably just poke some JB weld in there with a toothpick, then put the screws back in. If wood, I’d do a more thorough job of removing the trim piece and checking for rotten wood. I’d oversize drill the holes and epoxy in a dowel. Drill the dowel for screw pilot holes, paint/seal everything and then reinstall trim and screws.
  16. Buddy has a place outside of Nacogdoches they’ve been hunting for years and since retiring earlier this summer, I’ve went a few times to help out with trail clear, mowing and feeder work. I went last weekend to do a little squirrel hunting and hang out a bit. Old school camp back in the woods Strips and pepper redfish on the half shell for Friday nights supper Got a couple of squirrels with dad’s 22/410 Savage Saturday. My buddy killed 4 so we have enough for squirrel dumplings next trip. Catfish, fries and hushpupies for Saturday nights supper We only killed two squirrels Sunday morning.
  17. I just bought on of these on sale at Avademy and didn’t research before hand. I thought it was Bluetooth connected for setup too. Nope gotta be cell connected. I’ll use it this season then buy a $35 manual controller for next year. I need to buy another and won’t get the connected version next go around. I paid $150 and it has the solar panel already so I’m OK with it for now.
  18. Was at my buddies place over the weekend near Nacodoches. I put out a feeder to hunt during gun season. I set it for 7:30 and 4:30 so you will be in stand when feeder goes off. If too early the hogs will get there first and eat all the corn
  19. Oh man that’s rough. I wonder if he had any other immune issues. Seems like I had always heard that the guys that got it usually had something else going on too that they might not yet have know about.
  20. Nice! We spent part of this week at Galveston State Parkin the RV. We took the kayaks and I did a paddle back into the reclaimed marsh solo on Wed and with the wife on Thursday. I found one tailing red on Wed and was able to catch it only to tape out at 28.5-29”. On Thursday I got one keeper and two short reds and an dink trout. We enjoyed the paddle but spent the rest of the day slumped in a chair on the beach. Probably should have tried the surf a bit as it had 4’ visibility but was very happy with the reds. Chasing them in shallow water is probably my favorite inshore fishing.
  21. There’s always money in the banana stand (or old farmhouse) https://www.reddit.com/r/coincollecting/s/6HKd8rLQ4Z
  22. Ended up just buying a complete new helm pump from West Marine on sale. Got it put in, purged the system and it ran great. Probably should have done it two years ago.
