  1. Front for CIA spooks.
  2. Did you google “ginger Jewish diamond dealer party band”. Knowing the key search words are... well... key.
  3. Fredericksburg - home base Day trip to Lost Maples (for hiking) /or/ Enchanted Rock Day trip of wineries (for womens) Luckenbach (for mens) Day trip to San Antonio (for Mexico!)
  4. What Jerry said.
  5. Southwest party days are long gone. smoking ... check backwards facing seats ... check free donuts in waiting area ... check free coffee in waiting area ... check cute air waitresses ... check free cocktails ... check free peanuts ... check
  6. Carhartt for $45 -$100 depending on size. https://www.amazon.com/Carhartt-Legacy-Gear-inch-Black/dp/B00ES8KX84/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1533217633&sr=1-1-spons&keywords=Carhartt+Legacy+Gear+Bag&psc=1
  7. So he had 20 years to plan this and that was the best he could come up with?
  8. I had to read the owner’s manual on my receiver and dig fairly deep in the receiver menu to properly use ARC.
  9. But that drive is a killer.
  10. I would recommend that she call him and leave messages, send e-mails, and generally harass the shit out of him until he finishes the project. She needs to be busting his chops every day, multiple times a day. Make his life hell. If he doesn't care about his reputation, that's about the only thing she can do to motivate him to finish.
  11. My guess is the contractor has a cash flow problem and took your sisters payment and paid subs for other projects. Once that happened, your sister's project became a low priority until the contractor gets another project's cash to pay the subs to work on your sister's house. She done f'd up when she paid more than 50% prior to the job being complete.
  12. These things are really taking off. It won't be long until death by scooter is a regular occurrence around town. Are these things supposed to be ridden on the sidewalk or the street? I see both. If scooter people ride in bike lanes do the bike crazies rag on the scooties? Is there a new pecking order on the streets?
  13. Max wants to know what it takes to get a seeing eye cat? 100% blind. 80% deaf. 110% chilly chill.
  14. Would OP please post daily photos so we can see progress on the performance art? Thanks.
  15. I did better than Elmer’s... spayed it with wasp spray. We’ll see.
  16. Agree. I used the stock from a pork butt that I made for pulled pork and used it as a stock for vegetable soup. All that I had to do was strain the rendered fat.
  17. I have this little pile of bug parts collecting on a window sill. Directly above the pile is the window shade housing and a small hole. I think something is pushing dead bugs or digested/discarted parts through the hole in the window shade housing and they are piling up on the sill below. I keep cleaning them up but they keep coming. This picture has about 3 days worth. I think it might be a spider that’s eating ants or something. We sprayed for ants about two months ago which coincidentally is about when this started happening.
  18. I’m concerned that males and females between the ages of 2 and 15 haven’t saved squat for retirement and half of those demand smartphones, iPads, and good WiFi.
  19. My father was an Air Force C-130 pilot and flew several covert missions in the Congo in the early 1960s. These missions involved dropping local ‘freedom fighter’ types into ‘rebel’ held installations. Very funny story about a whole crew of poorly trained local paratroopers charging out of the back of the C-130 as soon as the cargo doors opened rather than waiting for the jump light to turn green (or however that works) and they all scattered in the wind in the middle of the night over the Congo jungle.
  20. Early in my career I worked for a large contractor that ended all written communication with: Very Truly Yours Name/number etc Always thought that was weird. Very Truly Yours, BottleRocket
