  1. This is the bar I grew up using to build fence. The heavy end does a great job of busting limestone at the bottom of the hole and the little end does a good job tamping. We called it a rock bar. I have lost several of them over the years but my Santa Fe RR buddies always have them to give away.
  2. I thought you had to say Muledick

  4. Seems as though the IMSA team is taking cues from the Indy folks. The No. 6 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 has been disqualified from Wednesday evening's Le Mans 24 Hours qualifying session for failing to meet the minimum weight in post-qualifying technical inspection. https://racer.com/2025/06/11/no-6-penske-porsche-disqualified-from-le-mans-qualifying-for-weight-infraction ETA: I have been a Penske fan going all the way back to Rick Mears but JFC, this is beyond stupid.
  5. My office mate had that done a couple of weeks ago. Sounded like a pretty simple procedure and he came back to work right after it. Hopefully yours will go as smooth. I have RA so my immune system is jacked up. The eye doc put me on a twice daily dose of antibiotics to get this under control. It seems to be working. He liked what he saw yesterday. I have a persistent cough that my rheumatologist is concerned about. I'm going to get a CT scan and pulmonary function tests done in July to see if they can rule out Rheumatoid Lung disease. I was hospitalized with pneumonia 25 years ago and grew up breathing lots of second hand smoke so I could have any number of things bothering my lungs. No need to stress about it just yet. But I still will.
  6. Wordle 1,454 6/6* ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟨⬜🟨⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 it tried to whip me but but it didn’t, quite.
  7. My daughter just finished a semester of herpetology at Texas St. She says it is a Great Plains Rat Snake. Apparently, the dark band across the nose is the telltale sign. 9 out of 10 snakes we see around here are Rat Snakes of one variety or another. Pretty safe guess whenever a snek shows itself. My best friend's wife sent me the picture and asked if it was a good snek or bad. I told her it was good so she picked it up and carried it across the road and released it in a pasture. He would have put on a hazmat suit and welding gloves before he would have touched itπŸ˜„.
  8. I'm 73 and still working for this very reason. There are other reasons, of course, but keeping my mind active is the primary one. My mother was afflicted with Alzheimers for that last 10 years of her life and it was horrible to watch it slowly turn her into a potted plant. Every morning I do Wordle, Quordle, Octordle, Waffle and Blossom with all of their variants before I start my workday. My job is technologically challenging and I actually look forward to going in to work. I do need to improve my nutrition habits. a lot of the dietary suggestions here seem like things I should get onboard with.
  9. As long as the animal will accept the Lord....
  10. It isn’t severe but I thought it was interesting. We have had 8” of rain over the last 96 hours and we might get another inch overnight. That is looking west from my front yard/brome field towards Hillsboro KS.
  11. Wordle 1,447 4/6* 🟨⬜⬜⬜⬜ 🟨⬜🟨⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I’m ashamed how long it took to figure this out. 3 hours, off and on.
  12. That's an entirely different group of workers.
  13. I thought Derel was the wurst.
