  1. IndyCar runs at TMS in the late evening to avoid the heat, right? I'm sure Indiana gets close to that temp if they intend to run noonish. I might buy a ticket just to see the carnage if I survive this nonsense.
  2. Indy 500 pushed back to Aug 23. Should be interesting to see how much grip they can get when it's hotter than balls. https://apnews.com/2bb54378809377c2f6f790bb9e96615a
  3. This car. 1970 Fury III. A lot roomier than my 67 Dart GT. My Dad had a thing for Mopars
  4. I think that most coaches are going to scan parent's social media carefully before they offer a kid. JB and ES had family members that loved to stir the pot. I wasn't aware of Burton's sister until Markis Mcduffie tweeted about it. Wasn't as bad as Stevenson's dad but it soured the relationship between JB and Marshall so maybe it was. I'm really curious to see where these kids land. Nevada isn't a step up and if Grant thinks Alford is a better coach than Marshall, good for him. Burton has been contacted by some B10 schools but I'll fall over if he signs with one. The rest are going to end up at small D1 schools closer to home according to my sources. Busse went to Metro in Denver for crissakes. 2 hours from home. Not sure it's even D1. The program will survive in spite of some of our knee-jerk fans. The two BMDs that I have slim connections to are all in on Marshall. The portal has a lot of players better than the ones that left. Maybe Marshall can snag a few.
  5. PSA: You better lube up well. That rubber is grippy if you get my drift. Nobody needs speed rash.
  6. Well, I started at the top and scrolled down. Looked pretty good. Outstanding, really. Got to the knees, nothing too funky there. Dropped down a little further and WhatThe FuckAreThose? Some of the ugliest footwear I ever saw. What purpose is served by that bullshit above the ankles?
  7. I use them as cum rags. Some people don't like that.
  8. Thanks Beau. There are 3 or 4 of those I need to read. Might as well get to it while I'm waiting around to die.
  9. I agree about JB and NF but Eric's helicopter dad made everybody miserable. I think that had more to do with JB leaving and Dennis taking a break than Marshall's barking. Marshall could have done a better job of cowboying all those egos and hurt feelings. Sherfield had UCLAitis. He thought he was too good to play in the AAC but the results didn't show it. His lack of hustle after making a turnover pissed me off no end. Fernandes was skilled but way too short and light to be more than a backup PG. I loved the intensity he brought to defense but he couldn't muscle up on anybody. Busse was wasting his time at the end of the bench but I'm sure he learned a lot from being in the practices. He could tear it up at Northern Iowa or Loyola. Fuck ES and all of his me-first bullshit. Good riddance.
  10. Exactly the same. Ill fitting shit.
  11. The frame has funky corners and they get stretched unfolded each time it is removed and replaced. Watch how it is picked up each time. You can only put 5 lbs of shit in a 5 lb can.
  12. Burning got underway last weekend and then the rain moved in. Had about an inch of rain over the last 48 hrs and 7" since New Years. Looks like the pastures are going to be in great shape going into the season. The ponds should have enough to get through the blast furnace you know will hit us in July and August. Going to start riding fences as soon as the rain stops later this week.
  13. I know it's early and the SOS is 130+ but it is nice to see how quickly Eric Wedge has turned things around at WSU. RPI is up to 27. I'm pretty sure it's fools gold at this point, the meat of the schedule will be much tougher going forward, but these are basically the ex-coaches players doing this. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/baseball/d1/rpi Bring it on, Beau.
  14. Yeah, I have gone to a regional a couple of times but found out it's more fun to set up several laptops and TVs and have friends over. Beer is cheaper and the shitter is nicer too.
  15. This is the day that @mulletpelini and I do an internet high five and rejoice that we aren't on our way to St Louis. Laughing my ass of at Ill State in a play- in game tonight. They and their coach proclaimed they would dominate the Valley after WSU and Creighton were gone. Feels good, Man.
  16. Thanks @Blotto. I'm sitting in my office bawling like a baby. 33 years ago my wife went through the same ordeal as Josh. Accident. TBI. Coma. Recovery to lead a "normal" life. This really does hit close to home.
  17. Manhattan looked the other way for Snyder. Kliemann gonna have to win a few more games before he gets the same treatment.
  18. In my experience, transaxles are more apt to give trouble than motors. I buy mowers off of craigslist, repair as needed and resell them. A lot of low end hydrostat tractors and ZTRs use transaxles that can't be serviced. If the cheap plastic cooling fans break or fail, they will overheat and cook the innards. No recourse except to replace the entire unit. Serious slopes will also cause overheating but it has to be very steep. I have never had a Briggs or Kohler motor give me trouble. Kawasaki either. I collect old Cub Cadets and the old Kohler K-Series cast iron motors that they use are tough SOBs. Many garden tractor pulling rigs use them.
  19. I turned it off and went to till the tater patch. I left the DVR on just in case. Guess I'll watch it this evening.
  20. Cat's in a much smaller box. I should have said horse or elephant to do justice to the joke.
  21. Welp, I fucked up. I turned down a trip to Florida to help install some equipment for one of our clients. Turns out that the plant backs up to Sebring Raceway and practice for the season opening Trans-Am race is going on right now. Our tech can see quite a bit of the track from the back lot of the factory. Of course, he has no appreciation for any of it. All I knew about the factory was that it was in FL. I had no idea the mailing address was Sebring. That might have caught my attention.
