  1. I was going to say Pearl Beer but apparently small boutique brand now. Handy Andy (Missed out on the Piggly Wiggly) Best - A Service Merchandise type place before Best Buy I had not seen the Texaco brand in years but they are starting to pop up again. Certain car names disappear for a while and then come back like Bronco, Camaro, Impala, etc. Will there be another Taurus or Chevelle? Skaggs Alpha Beta Scottrade and not long for this earth Ameritrade
  2. Well I’m sure his plan will be to delay and distract but if he ever has to pay it will be funds from a grift. He heard about gofundme but realized no one would give to a “billionaire” so he had to manufacture grievances that people would contribute to show how mad they are and here we are with a steady stream. That is the whole business plan. Well, and to not pay taxes or for services until forced.
  3. Pics Also, I was watching season 2 of The Wire last night and Nick had on this shirt. I wish I could find one.
  4. It might finally happen So I have been in a queue for getting paint and body work so long I only know it is over a year but not whether it is closer to 18 or 24 months. A month ago I got tired of the delays from my shop and discouraged by all the cars they have in the shop at one time even though they said I was next so I called another shop to check in. Slightly more money but they seem to get cars in and out quicker and I aint getting younger. I want to enjoy my car not just leave it to my kids. Today the second shop said they were moving me up in line from March to late December/early January. So excited. Now I'm talking to an individual and a shop on rebuilding the engine that burns oil/fouled plugs while it is at the body shop. Reduce the amount of time the car is down and get the engine bay detailed at the same time. I have pretty much done everything else myself and these are the last steps. My wife actually seems peeved that I have saved for so long towards this goal and would rather I spend it on something else. Fuck it, I'm happy and here to share the excitement with like minded people. So share your stories, encouragement and advice. Drivetrain Plan: Pull the engine, AC, Radiator and transmission Give the engine to the rebuild shop for a mild stroker build (331, heads, intake, cam, stay carbureted) Optional C4 to T5/TKO swap and upgrade the 8" open diff to LSD with taller gears Body and Paint plan: I remove the interior except the dash I disassemble the headlight buckets I remove door glass and vents Shop does remove the stainless trim remove the front and back glass Strip the paint from whole body and door jams shave the fender emblems and fill antenna hole prime and paint with base clear in 2part formula for the original Candyapple Red Outsource the headliner install before the glass is reinstalled Detail the engine bay Get the glass and stainless reinstalled Align doors and fenders Install new rear louvers and front chin spoiler optional add a '70 Grabber c-stripe to the sides Engine guy will install the engine transmission and diff. I could potentially do all the following Reinstall door glass, vent glass and interior including Ridge Runner sail panels Install all rubber seals Reinstall fender extensions/headlight buckets, side scoops and qtr panel extensions Reinstall headlights, tail lights and marker lights reinstall engine accessories and radiator
  5. my beard is a little unkept because November but that looks like crazy goat boy beard that would point a lazer grip pistol at his ex in a bar.
  6. Yeah, telling your voters not to trust the system and to not vote early then complain when there are lines on election day and trying to fit all the voters in that window between 5:00 and 7:00 pm is some seriously dumbfuck shit.
  7. You could just say he is an aggy.
  8. When I used to work off Mesa and 183 I would go to Wally burger express and get the tacos now that connection is made why I like them so much they were just like their Mayfield DQ tacos.
  9. Need to add another minus to footwork and decision making
  10. Switched to world cup. Better match
  11. Ewers’ rating is like arm strength +++ footwork - decision making - - short ball placement - long ball placement - - -
  12. We used Premier Pool and Spas. they were slow but we did it at the height of the backlog. just ask a lot of questions.
  13. Start reading here https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/topic/18574-utrgv-commits-to-add-fcs-football-by-2024/?do=findComment&comment=4838168
  14. There is an interesting side discussion in the UTRGV thread on the football board about the differences between UT and TAMU systems and their treatment of TAMUK and other branches. I hope they pick UT as well.
  15. Really interesting divert to the academic discussion. Wondering if the disparity in how UT system and TAMU System treat their system schools will play a part in the decision for SFA - Nacogdoches FIFY D2 used to get D1 players stuck in the depth chart transferring down because they did not have to sit a year. Now they can transfer to a D1 with a hole in the depth chart and not sit a year. They also used to get some of the academic washouts from D1 transferring down but I don't think that happens anymore.
  16. Check the power supply first. I found that some power supplies do not provide enough power for the switch and the video driver to the TV. My kids were using the one that worked with the dock on the Switch lite. That one does not have the same problem.
  17. They tried once already and one of them got shot. He's threatening another riot, isn't he.
  18. I'm going to shave mine off.
  19. Simplified breakdown. I don't know about Zeihan's bonafides on tactics but it is a good breakdown of logistics.
  20. Katie Porter should be minority leader or whip.
