  1. Thats our ranch cowboy. He wears crocs when hes casually hunting with me..
    74 year old man and still works 7 days a week, been on the ranch 31 years. All horseback.
    Tough as nails. I take him with me when Im out hunting. Knows more about deer than anyone Ive ever met.


    Also looks like he's a varsity letterman, so he has that going for him too

    his last move of evading and then some ninja shit and then pins the dude shows he really really knows what the fuck he's doing

    Still trying to decide but it looks like the old man went for the gooch on that last move.  I would tap out too when that happens to me.

    Old man is fast no doubt, but damn he uses the exact same move every time. You'd think the young guy would learn by the fourth try or so. 

    Which is probably why he was there. He had something printed on his shirt and didn't do anything besides show how to evade and counter. Young guy kept losing with his right foot and diving at the right leg. I'm sure the results would have been the same if the he reversed it and dove at the left leg. Old guy was probably teaching them why that's not good strategy and maybe how to counter someone who tries it. Also teaches the young guys not to take an opponent lightly just because they're older and smaller.

    I imagine that if the young guy went for the other leg, the old man would probably have a counter to it also.

    Funny you should post this. I saw that today and will be getting the x5 this weekend. Sale goes off Dec 2. I’ll probably pick it up after Texas Beats ou.

    I have it on my amazon tool wishlist and noticed it was marked down yesterday.  Its a great price for the X5. May go ahead and snag one too.

    If you do go airless, X5 would be my rec.  I have one of the handheld graco that has the paint cup, and cleaning is a fucking pain.  So much so that basically everything that isn't a big job I just roll or brush.  But the big jobs require refilling the cup constantly.  Go big or go home.

    The X5 is currently $224 at Home Depot and on Amazon and the X7 is $292 if any body has an airless paint sprayer on their Christmas list.

  6. My son built this one this summer for a gaming computer.  He seems pleased with it.

  7. I tip when I'm on a personal trip, vacation, whatever.  Usu. $5 per night, but that's somewhat flexible.
    Not on any business trip though.  I don't get reimbursed for tips as a general rule, so I'm usually not for paying personal cash for company time.


    So no tips on meals, bar tabs, the doorman or baggage clerks too?

    Your company seems like it sucks.
  8. I was a sophomore in high school and wanted a wind surfer but we ended up with a Holder 12 monohull by Hobie cat.  I sailed the shit out of that thing, break the mast and tearing the sail on two different occasions.  In a good wind, you could get it up on plane and hang ass out over the side.   A buddy in school ended up with a Hobie 18 senior year and that consumed most of our sailing time after that.

     

    Op hasn't came back to thread but if he is in the Houston area, there are 3 or 4 sailing schools in the Clear Lake/Galveston area.
