  1. Started All the Pretty Horses. Engaging.
  2. That's what I did also, where my normal size is a 10-D, went down to 9.5-D, still swimming in the shoe. I think I tried a 9.5-B which I couldn't get my foot into. My feet are on the small side of 10-D especially in volume if not length and width. Hoping the pinch pennys fit a little differently.
  3. I tried a couple different pairs of beefrolls and the sizes just didn’t work for me. Felt like my heels wanted to slip when I walked around. I’ve got a pair of the pinch pennys on order cause I really want a pair of slip ons.
  4. We’re also looking at a bathroom remodel in the future. Currently we have a small (34x36) shower next to a crappy whirlpool tub. What’s the current view on having both a shower and tub in the master bath, from a resale standpoint? Required? Replace the tub with a new whirlpool tub? Or just a regular bathtub?
  5. The motors are OK I think, just need new wiring to the switch and plug. Blades need sharpened. I’m missing the guard from the jointer, may take a look in my mom’s garage next time I’m in town to see if it’s laying around somewhere.
  6. On a similar note, I’ve picked up a Rockwell/Delta jointer and bandsaw that belonged to my dad to help my mom clear out her garage. The tools were originally purchased by my great grandfather in the 30’s or 40’s. They mostly work though need some TLC since they’ve just sat since 2008 or so. Anyone know a good place for spare parts and whatnot?
  7. That’s top notch stuff. You cannot buy that today. My dad built some beautiful cherry furniture in the 80’s and 90’s that will last for generations. When my mom passes, my siblings and I will choose up who gets what.

    I had to use a contraption called the Extensionator. A deal that I would sit in for 10-15 minutes that would try to force my leg straight. Holy shit.

    Use the term FREE loosely.
  10. Buttervoice?
  11. The nut behind the wheel?

    @Dennis Taylor Do your physical therapy and then some. Hurts like a bitch longer than you think but should be worth it in the end. Bout a year.
  13. Is that just out on the shelf? Will need to check into this when I get back to H-Town.
  14. Houston, TX baby. That’s how we do it in Space City.

    You need to finish up the story where you broke his ankles on a crossover dribble while going hard in the paint.
  16. OF1910 is my jam also.
  17. Pos rep for Rambler.
  18. Read both Les Mis and War & Peace. Hugo and Tolstoy can both take off on 100 pages of tangential stuff to the main story. Really dense books with a great window on European history.
  19. I feel like a dumbass failure today because I didn’t solve Wordle or Connections.
  20. Wordle 972 X/6 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩⬛⬛ 🤬🤯🤬🤯🤬
  21. What about the Villa Capri over there?
  22. Threaded English BB.
  23. Venezia in Midland is pretty good Italian and they have the best wine list in W Texas. Cork & Pig in Odessa or if they’re full go next door to the Red Oak Kitchen (same kitchen).
  24. Pos rep for Filling Station reference. Tune Up w/ floating lime lit on fire for the ladies.
  25. Interesting. Not sure I recall hearing that the SEC initially reached out to Texas or it was the other way around. Don’t believe I’ve heard that before.
