Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
I went twelve years after losing Maggie the Golden to cancer at age 7. Since 2013, we have had four dogs (King passed in 2020; he was an old fellow when we adopted him). Gracie will turn 13 in January (pictured plenty in previous posts) Maeby is 6 (as of March). Archie turns 2 in late November. I don't know how I went 12 years without a dog.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
I got one in the ER a couple of months ago after ripping the ball of my foot open on a nail that had worked its way out of one of our deck boards. I usually don't walk around barefoot out there, but one of the dogs had taken something out into the yard for me to retrieve, and it was dark, and I'm dumb like that sometimes.

I don't have time to read all of this, but let me know if I've missed something: the weiners have wood?

Mass Shootings
I think they announced they had one around that time. What's weird, is I remember, early on before they released the vaccines, that it generally was considered a good thing. And some time between around that October and early January 2021, the social media bots changed the perception for a large swath of part of the population, which wasn't already anti-vax generally, and, well, here we are.

Trump’s America
I read that several times trying to figure out how Weird Al Yankovic related to any of this.

Shit I've Cooked Lately
Some dog-turd looking pretzels, which are delicious, beer cheese, and beer brats. The onions cooked down in the tall boy of Coors Banquet beer are the chef's kiss.

The Real Frank Zappa Thread (WARNING: Politics, Religion, and Other Obscenities)
The Roxy Videos are great as are the uncut, seven Roxy perormances from which they emerged. The fact that these are the outtakes says a lot. Dickie's Such and Asshole is great and, sadly, timeless

Ah, Gene Hackman. He did play a good scoundrel.- South Park
I thought it was solid. The Loony Tunes bits were solid. JD Villechaize shit kills me. The opening bit seemed random, but that's just the level of random shit we see day to day that doesn't have a lot to do with anything. It just served to introduce the market-gambling app story and is something I'm sure kids that age wonder aloud about from time to time. Such is life.- Texas BBQ
The Tavern. It's air conditioned.- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
Dick Hallorann? edit: I also could have gone with Jackoff Torrence- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
True story. He was looking at a dick dispenser when that picture was taken.- Surly Legendary Speak
There are no aggy jokes. They're all true stories. What's the origin of "Muledick!" as a greeting/announcement indicating "I'm from the internet"?- Surly Legendary Speak

Just ghost him. That's what tire-kickers do. Makes a potential seller all the more appreciative of a real buyer.- Texas BBQ
I saw Phish there in 1997, 1998, and 1999. Just an absolute party from the moment we started tailgating until the cops forced us to leave after the shows.- WTB parking Vanderbilt
I've found the same spot half a block from north campus (off 26th) for two large events in a row. It's bit of a hike to the tailgate, but it's still close and free street parking.- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
At some point, we need to take turns messaging him and lowballing him so when immamac comes in with a reasonable offer, the seller's been tenderized a bit.- Texas BBQ
Great concert venue 30 years ago though.- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
Approximate haul capacity of one of those turbo diesel 6s is between 10--12k lbs. But how heavily laden the truck is, the wheel base, and the brakes are the big considerations versus just the grunt of the engine, even assuming the pit trailer has brakes too. My guess is that the trailer would weigh between 4,500 and 6,000 lbs (that may be an overshoot on the high end of the range; a single 500 gallon trailer from Primitive Pits on a dual axle trailer weighs 2,000 lbs).- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
That one isn't listed as "on sale" today. A lot of those FedEx looking food trucks are rocking 6 cylinder turbo diesels. Probably enough grunt to pull a couple of pits, but certainly the main factor in that setup is can it do it safely, fully loaded.- Pull behind smoker needed for SHSU, Arkansas and TAMU
That's basically what I was saying above. Double 500 with a separate direct-fire cooker/grill on a trailer. Food truck (kitchen) to pull it. Easier to park side by side. It just lacks that badass factor. If that's the War Wagon, ETSC wants $100K for it base. Only advantage to this one is that you don't have to wait and can pay a little less if the specs work out for the needs. - Tax avoidance vs. tax evasion
