  1. Kinda meh in the meme but the KJ Sound Guy shorts are pretty damn good.
  2. WhoTF flies from Dallas to SA, to then get in another car or bus to drive out near Junction. That’s gotta be why the men are pissed.
  3. Doing doughnut burnouts in the center of intersection seems like the correct answer based on the pic.
  4. A little bit of Google tells us, indeed, they are real and from the 2012 time frame. Barstool had a couple of where are they now posts https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3329024/where-are-they-now-the-people-from-the-carls-jr-lakers-girls-lunch-date-photoshoot-part-1
  5. Bonus rep for old school that’s now new school brown camo.
  6. This is really just a closeup of a Cowan print, isn’t it? If you zoom out, there’s a school of redfish tailing at the base of the blind. Amirite?
  7. Rolled 90 mph through Coffee City half an hour ago. Fuck the police!
  8. Yep all of this. Had to move the shop vac into the attic to suck up the pieces of plastic it got so bad. Probably 20+ wreaths up there. And 25+ old Tonka trucks, and boxes of Nat Geo, Reader Digest, Boys Life etc from the 60s on. Dibs has already been called on Pong so it’s not for sale. Plenary of other treasures though.
  9. Mom passed away in 2017 and dad stayed in the house until we moved him to a memry care faculty at the first of this years. They lived in the house for 45 years and dad, being born in the depression and growing up in the war, never threw anything away. We’ve been going through the house cleaning out and organizing since the spring. Mom loved entertaining and decorating different holidays and had all kinds of stuff. Most are not expensive antiques, but there’s enough stuff that we’re going to have an estate auction later this year or early next year. Mom had five different buffet/china cabinet type pieces in the house and everyone of them are like this. If you look closely, there are 13 cake stands in this one cabinet alone. 13! We always said my dad was the pack rat, but looking again, mom may just have been better at hiding it. My sisters (no pics) have found at least 8 more cake stands in other cabinets and several more packed away in the attic. I need to do a ‘Shit I found in my Parent’s Attic’ thread with the pictures I took while we where cleaning it out. As a teaser, here’s the Super Pong game we had in the mid 70s, complete with box and instruction manual
  10. 20K plus dead/missing in Libya flooding? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna105001
  11. Amyl and The Sniffers a few weeks ago in Paris. 1) If anyone falls down, you help them up 2) Don’t push anyone that don’t want to be pushed 3) Get rowdy!
  12. We had a double crested cormorant depredation permit for a while. We have a small lake that borders up onto a very large lake and the double crested cormorants got pretty bad after a while. We would be duck hunting on the smaller lake and my dad would just set in a flyway between the lakes and pound cormorants all morning long. They wised up eventually and figured out the small lake was not the place to be if they didn’t want BB steel shot blasted at them.
  13. Riot has about 450 MW of mining capacity in Rockdale at the old Alcoa plant. They plan on expanding to 750MW at that location. They are also currently in phase 1 construction of 250MW capacity in Navarro county and plan on expanding that to 1 GW. In recent months the only money they have made is shutting down cpu’s and selling allotted electricity back to the grid instead. They have long term contracts to purchase at $0.02-0.03 kwhr and can sell back at much higher, all in the name of keeping the Texas grid stable.
  14. Follow up report on the news tonight that CC had suspended the police chief pending an investigation.
  15. I’m not sure I’d want to put damp rid in my safe. I’m sure the chemical is some kind of salts and that while it sucks out moisture the vapor off of that can’t be good for gun metal. Hard to beat and old standard goldenrod. And this comes from the guy that puts two big buckets of damp rod in his rv when he puts it up in storage. Also, have seen a bunch of folks with damaged rv floors when those hanging bags get a puncture or spring a leak. Hate to have that happen in a safe
  16. I travel up 155 to my dad’s in Tyler 2 or 3 times a month. When you come off the bridge across Ledbetter Bayheaded north, you damn sure better be 55mph or below or you’re gonna catch a ticket when you top the hill by the dollar stores. They are there every time, usually with a car pulled over. I didn’t catch if the news report talked about when there were several big 8 liner game rooms in CC. Cars would be parked up and down 155 at the one next to Kilo’s and another place down by the dollar stores. I think the sheriff or the TX Rangers finally came in and it down. The place next to Kilo’s still sports a sign on the building. ETA: RIP Foot’s Liquor Store. Follow your feet to Foot’s!
  17. Supply and Demand shows a 2,000 MW deficit starting at 7:30 tonight.
  18. Tell me you’re an actuary without telling me you’re an actuary.
  19. Not over complicated, it’s just that the splitter you bought doesn’t have any internal fusing to limit the 5-15R receptacles to 20A. In an overload situation, you could drawn all of your generators 27A through one receptacle which might start burning wires on the splitter or whatever cords you have plugged into it. All you extension cord are outdoor rated 10 or 12 AWG (depending on distance), right? That’s why I commented about having a sub panel system. If you correctly wire in a generator inlet to your existing panel, you already have all the fusing/circuit breakers in place to protect that wiring.
  20. I sure most of you saltwater guys have read it before but Rudy Grigar’s Plugger is a great read on Tx coastal fishing and the Chandeleur Islands.
