  1. Not a damn thing, House of Pies, not a damn thing.
  2. My buddy owned the trolling motor and battery and as such commanded the front of whichever Jon boat we were bass fishing out of. Being some what ambidextrous, I just started casting side-arm with my left hand when slinging baits up under boat houses. This has carried over to adulthood and I still cast left handed about half of the time these days when fishing. I don’t mind fishing out of the back of the boat either as long as you’re not hugging the bank and casting down parallel to the shoreline and blocking my casts.
  3. Fucking microplastics are everywhere!
  4. Hey, Fuck You man! That guy is awesome, any of us wouldn’t be the drip off his paddle.
  5. Nice! My first truck was a ‘65 stepside with a 283 and 3 in the tree. Lots of memories in that old truck.
  6. Dad talked about doctoring pigs and cattle for screwworms back in the early 50s on the ranch. Said a pig would slobber in another pig and a fly would almost immediately land in the slobber spot and start laying eggs. If the larva took hold dad would have to treat the spot twice a day to try to kill them. Cows were almost as bad and harder to round up to treat.
  7. My wife said these guys will all make it to Panama they get arrested again for Season 2. Then break out again for season 3
  8. lol, there a video game (and a TV series based on the video game) called Prison Break. Guess how one of the prison breaks happen?
  9. Don’t sleep on the Bar S dog, buddy makes a catfish bait using cut up Bar S dogs, strawberry koolaid and minced garlic. They might not be fit for humans but they will the shit out of some channel cats. Buddy caught this op on the Trinity on a hot dog and 2/0 hook 10 days ago when the river was flooding. Hell of a fish.
  10. Wrist rocket and green sweetgum balls. Got the bands of mine cut up into little bitty pieces after some complained and ratted me out.
  11. Hell yeah brother!
  12. Time for my annual the lakes are full the grass is high and the cows are slicked off and doing well.
  13. Water distribution requires big pipes as I noted above. City of Austin used about 112k acre-ft of water in 2024 (slightly down from historical numbers) from the LCRA. Thats 3.65 x 10^10 gal/yr or 100mm gpd or 65k gpm which requires a 48” pipe to flow with a velocity of 10 ft/s. Big pipes flowing round the clock just to keep up with usage demand, never mind trying to top off a lake.
  14. I bet you’re low by $2-3B to get a project like that done. Look at the Integrated Pipeline Project by Tarrant Regional Water Authority pipelining water from Lake Palestine and tying into pipelines from Cedar Creek and Richland Chamber to Benbrook. Some of it was a new 108” section and they spent $2.5B for a shorter distance and easier digging terrain. https://www.trwd.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/IPLQuarterlyExecutiveSummary-202409_FINAL_web-compressed.pdf
  15. Red dots and gold dots are two of my favorite things
  16. Needs more copper
  17. Most likely your sale will transact after COB on Monday based on Monday’s close prices and show up in your account in the new fund on Tuesday. I moved two 401k’s from S&P 500 and Large cap funds to cash/treasuries last week on Tuesday and Wed. On my account screens I changed my allocations for existing funds to 0% and set the cash fund to 100%. They both processed the respective nights and showed up the next business day. We had been needing to do some asset reallocation and getting those done before Thursday ended up saving us a significant amount.
  18. I would easily ignore a gap in employment if your resume included a handsome picture of yourself next to a tree.
  19. More early 80s F150 to me
  20. Are you wanting to fix the gps to use it or rescue the gps coordinates? You might could solder an external triple battery holder into the +/- terminals and get the thing to turn in. Use whatever cable to download a waypoint file off the unit. Might not be usable in that condition but you might could save your data. Once you have the data you can upload to a gps app on your phone and use that. You might be able to upload directly into Garmin Explore. And yeah, Garmin pretty much owns the non-commercial marine and aviation markets.
  21. Was it full auto or had it been de-miled?
