  1. I’m going to Las Vegas for work in a couple of weeks. My wife is tagging along. It’s going to be her blackjack money. But to answer your question, 2 cases of LaBatt
  2. The ice officially went out on May 2 at 6:47 PM AST I didn’t win the official contest, but I won my company’s minute pool...$1200
  3. I didn’t win, but the ice will go out today or tomorrow 42AED8B2-A88E-4E8A-BB71-050398264760.webp
  4. I have no clue as cold as it gets here. Minions of the devil.
  5. So the official clock is in Alaska standard time. My 3:37 guess would be 4:47 on the daylight time clock, 7:47 Texas time. I don’t think it’ll go today, but it might.
  6. How's it looking? I’ve got a legit chance. Here’s a link to the live ice cam:
  7. First mosquito kill of the year and we still have 2 1/2 feet of snow. Fuck me, Walter.
  8. Yeah, no shit. It was 58 today and I was so hot driving in the truck I turned on the AC. All what you’re used to I guess.
  9. In my 50 years on this Earth I have learned one universal truth: You never have to worry about motherfuckers who run their mouths. Classic overcompensation. They are scared as shit. It's the quiet one you have to worry about.
  10. This one is easy for me. If you spit on me on purpose you better have some friends with you to intervene because I will happily beat you until you are nothing but a red puddle. I don't care how old you are or what gender you are. Fuck around and find out.
  11. Spring is officially here. We finally had a 24 hour period where a freezing temp wasn't recorded in the area. I didn't hear the exact number off the radio but it was well over 200 days with a freeze. Supposed to have highs in the 50's all week, which has given us snow melt warnings. Never seen those before. I guess it's testament to the amount of snow we had this winter. There is still 4 feet of snow on the ground and the pussy willows are blooming. It's about to get very wet around here. Mud season approaches.
  12. Was out for a hike before work this morning and saw my first grizzly bear of the year. It took off before I could get a pic. When you see one it always makes you glad you have your shooting iron with you.
  13. The moose are out enjoying the warmer temps
  14. Saw something cool today. Never seen a set up like this on a full size truck. I covet this.
  15. Called around and finally found some .44 mag in Anchorage. Buffalo Bore heavy .44. $63 for 20 rounds. Insane.
  16. Apparently there is little to no .44 mag in Alaska. That's convenient. I mean it's not like it's a popular caliber up here or anything.
  17. Nice to get the first win. Sorry for the jinx on the first 2 games. I purchased the MLB radio stream package to be able to listen to all the games. The Baseball Gods acted accordingly. My bad.
  18. Here is my guess. So if the line attached between the tripod which is sitting on the ice on the Tanana River and the official clock on the shore breaks at 3:37 pm on April 30 I get a share of the jackpot.
  19. I like them a lot. I have very big hands. For me it was painful to shoot that gun with the original grips, especially the bear loads I run through it. With the Hogue monogrip I can shoot it all day without much discomfort. It's not the prettiest thing, but this gun is function over everything.
  20. Cross post from the Alaska thread mainly for Brat since he’s a Ruger guy. Bear season started yesterday with the first grizzly sighting in the neighborhood. Took the .44 mag out for some practice when I got the text.
  21. Got a text that the first grizzly was sighted in the hood today. They are waking up a little early this year. Always exciting to see that first bear. Took the .44 mag out for a spin to make sure I could still shoot it. I’ll buy new bear spray tomorrow.
  22. I will give it a try next time I’m in town. I live on BBQ, Mexican food, Whataburger, and Allsup’s burritos when I’m in Texas.
  23. The institution did definitely suck. Two ACU stories: I had a high school friend that stayed and went to ACU. My first time back to Abilene was end of Fall semester freshman year and we saw each other at the mall. Got to talking and I found out that just the tuition for one of his 3 hour courses at ACU cost more than all of my tuition, books, and fees for 15 hours at UT. Blew my fucking mind. Same friend next visit back to Abilene. Asked me if I wanted to hang out...sure I said. Go over to his apartment and they've put together a full on Jesus intervention for me because they are worried about my soul. I still to this day don't think I've laughed as hard in my life. I thought it was a joke. They were not amused. Told them to fuck off and I'd see them all in Hell as I left. Needless to say our friendship did not survive "The Meeting" as it's known in my household.
  24. That was my experience too. And all the girls from ACU seemed to be at least 8's or higher. Unreal the talent there.
