  1. Me in my 20, let’s go bitch. Me in my 40s. Let’s wait until tomorrow.
  2. Something something South Austin’s mom.
  3. If I did, I would have left to get some milk and never looked back. My wife may be many things, but vindictive is not one of them.
  4. Anyone try aging their own whiskey? Been reading forums where people are buying small charred oak casks (1-3 gallons), filling it with vodka and letting it age. Because the ratio between the surface area and liquid is much higher, a year in the small cask is equivalent to ___ years in a standard cask. Experimenting is totally up my alley, but don’t want to spend $ if it’s gonna taste like crap.
  5. When you guys build the Tamiya cars, are you upgrading to brushless motors and ESCs? I upgraded the transmitter / receiver on my Reflex 14B with a Futaba 3PV. The OEM remote had issues with the throttle and the car would sometimes run off by itself, or couldn’t go into reverse. The 3PV isn’t as intuitive as the basic OEM remote, but the car is behaving like it should now.
  6. 7-8 years ago, I was going to fire a woman for performance and character issues. She ended quitting 2 hours before we were going to sit down with HR. I ran into her at a conference and we chatted for a few minutes. She went to work for a competitor which has an ESOP and that’s all she how she would be so rich when she retires. She’s still holding a grudge after such a long time. It was this type of behavior that triggered my decision to fire her. (Not gonna lie though, wish my company had an ESOP)
  7. At our old house, the contractor tried to tell me it’s okay for the kitchen faucet to be 6” right off the centerline of the window. I noped him until he got the right cabinet size.
  8. Semi-retired after 25 plus a few years… Oops you did it again. 😀
  9. That is the subtlest of subtlest humblebrags. Bravo nnm.
  10. Wish I could fart on command. Because I would totally crop dust the people in 1st class.
  11. 50/50 when JLG goes into surgery. Angelica Houston is so good in this movie.
  12. Thank you gents. I switched to Chase in 2019, and don’t exactly remember when I bought MMM. What I do know is how many shares I initially bought and the cost per share. I’ll see if Chase has the information from when I moved my stocks and funds over. Thanks again.
  13. Listening to Colin Jost’s audiobook “A Very Punchable Face”. He has had a very interesting life, and I would kill each and everyone one of you to have a drink with him.
  14. I had dinner with a friend who lives in Denver. We were best friends in high school, and room mates for a few years at UT. The first time we talked was in the bathroom at an international school in Germany. His words at the time? “Nice cock” Friends for almost 35 years. This is not trivial at all. It’s fucking special.
  15. Sorry that you’re boarding group 9.
  16. TrashmasterG…
  17. Need some technical help here… I’ve held 150 shares of MMM for way too long and want to sell. In the mean time they spun off their healthcare side and now I have 44 shares of Solventum (SOLV) that I want to dump as well. So for tax purposes, how do I put down the cost basis for those 44 shares?
  18. I’d build a ramp on each side and Evel Knievel that gap.
  19. Now that Ukraine funding has gone through, do we still need Mike Johnson around?
  20. Yeah. That part sucked. But today I’m in a glass is half full mood. One other thing that pleased me was a friendly Uber driver that was actually interesting to talk to.
  21. EXACTLY. Not anywhere close to 3%. Not even top 5%. But my wife spends money on vacations like we’re in the top 0.5%.
  22. Several so far this morning… Getting an Uber 5 minutes from my house at 530. TSA pre-check line. It was 10 deep vs 200+ people in the plebeian line. Girls in short shorts.
  23. True. My daughter's friend moved into a house a few neighborhoods over that was $3.8M. Would probably cost $1M in TX.
