    Not sure what thread this goes in because he's not really a $9.95er, but everyone's favorite is on strike.

     

    Who says "almost 79%"...  Also, 2012 was probably the last year the AAS earned a profit.

    Believe it or not, I’ve been thinking about taking it to the range and running a a few rounds through the pipe. 
    I do have a box of 50 lead round nose somewhere in the safe, along with two boxes (20 each) of jacketed soft points. 
    Bought those over a decade ago. 
    Might even haul my unfired (since the factory shipped it in 1979) .357 SAA out for a little exercise too.

    Surly field trip?  

     

    Beautiful revolver.

  3. Cynical me says it's about the money but I haven't really delved into any of the decision-making - the one criticism I've read is that the new rifle is a lot heavier. Excited to hear what others post. I have no info on the new 6.8mm cartridge.

    Mom's still kicking at 94. Kicking be the operative word, so be nice!

    She took us to see the Batman World Premier at the Paramount in 1966, and to see Led Zeppelin in '69 for my 13th birthday. 

    Sleepy little town getting a bit older? Let's see ... The Paramount, Municipal Auditorium, The Teen Club at Bergstrom AFBCity Coliseum, Kings Village, Antone's, The Armadillo,  DKR-TMS, Mother EarthAustin Opry House, The Back Room, The Armadillo, Continental Club, Soap Creek Saloon, Silver Dollar, Broken Spoke, Rauls >> ???, Club Foot, 3rd Coast, Super Drum >> Erwin Center, C-Boys, COTA, Moody Center, 

    No restaurant list is complete without mention of Dart Bowl, Players, Huts, and a lesser-known gem, the Filling Station where you could get deep fried tortilla wrapped hotdogs called tailpipes with cheesy fries - assuming you had line of site to a bathroom about 20 min after eating.

    Damn, i was hoping for at least a massive explosion with I35 cars dodging hurled bricks and maybe winging 1 or 2 of the more modern high rises with some steel beams... 

    Stripping her down like that seems cheap and tawdry.

    Yeah, the more of a hateful douchebag he gets, the more Aggies love him. 

    Given his recent ramp-up in drug  use, he may want to keep some kinda anti-fentanyl kit handy.  

    His body is naturally inclined to resist drug toxicity.. the mofo is gonna outlive us all, Keith Richards style.

  7. Yeah, kinda sucks it's guaranteed... at least it's just 7 years in case shit hits the fan... 

    I'm sure the negotiation went: Steve, we'll pay you $10mil a year for 7 years, with X% buy-out. Steve's agent comes back and says, Sark Enterprises demands $12 mil a year with those buyout terms. And UT comes back and says, let's just kill the buyout and stick with the $10mil.

    CJ is solid. Gerry is a natural.

     

    Only advice I'd give CJ is to say in 5 words what he typically says in 25... he's verbose and then seems to lose his train of thought. Just spit it out, sometimes less is more. It's a sign when Bobby's response is "gotcha.." and then moves on to the next topic.

    Having said that, he's not painful to listen to or anything.

    The only nutria I ever saw was from a window seat in the Magic Time Machine looking at Town Lake. 
    That fat sucker crawled right up out of the water into some reeds not 10’ from our table. 
    I think there would’ve been some repercussions from the restaurant staff & patrons if I had shot it through the plate glass window.

    Yeah, that was it before the MTM. Couldn’t think of the first name of that joint.

    I loved that place as a kid :)....

    I turned with the corner with the ubiquitous Sheridan .177 pellet rifle.  Ducks, birds, rabbits, squirrels, snakes, lizards, and a thousands stock-tank turtles met their demise at my hands with that old girl.  Folks still have it at their house.  After that was a break-action pellet rifle that held it's "air" longer than the pump options, and then of course the single-shot .22lr.

    Thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of toys were destroyed.  GI joe.  Star wars.  Transformers.  Models of every kind.  We even got a GI Joe boat, and glued pennies to the outside as "armor" and turned it loose in the stock tank.  

    Haha, nice. I shot my red rider so much the spring broke on it :/

    My 2002 and 2021 Landcruisers laugh at you.

    I bought a '21 heritage LC200 too. Had a guy at the Bucees outside of Houston ask me to name my price for it last year.

    Shameless plug for Chrono24…just bought a JLC through them, secure, prompt, and professional service. Will buy through them again.

    Nice, share pics once it comes in!

    My 2021 has 40k miles and has never been to the dealership except the day I bought it. The 2002 has 240k on it and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country tomorrow. They just run and run and they are perfect mountain vehicles.  Incredibly capable offroaders, too.  And the 2021 is still worth almost what I paid for it 3 years ago.  The 2002 is worth more than I paid for it.

    change your own oil?
