  1. Mom is moving to a senior apartment complex & scaling down.

     

    She has this fold out faced secretary with a matching curio above it & she is considering selling it.

     

    I think it probably dates to the 1920's, early 30's, not older. It has an Art Deco style to me, but obv. I could be way off. Def. not craftsman & looking @ the hinges & locks, I'm not thinking American Civil War or older.

     

    1. Any guesses (based on these limited # of pics) as to the age & style?

     

    2. Is it a set price to have someone come out or can this be done via pics (better detailed than these 2)?

     

    Obv. the sale would be furniture only.

  2. My in-laws don't have any cats yet they consistently put the roll on backwards.

    I'm always flipping it correct, I don't care if there's only 2 squares left or if I don't even have to use the shitter, I'll always fix that.

    In 98, we missed the record-breaking Ricky game. But...our reward was several days of fly fishing in Patagonia, and our thanksgiving dinner was an all-evening long Argentine mixed parilla outside of Bariloche, on the banks of the Rio Limay: several types of fire-grilled beef, Patagonian lamb, sausages, etc. And lots of great Malbec to drink. It was a damned glorious meal. I recommend it. Ldogg, that’s what you would have sold them on. You could have that every year instead.

    While quite a nice humblebrag, I was @ that game & still have very vivid memories of Ricky's run & the kick to seal the win over aggy... so marginally, I think I win.

  4. Skipped on the $ 200 pawn shop buy, got a new Mossberg Maverick 88 in a 20 ga. for $ 179.  I'll give the Remington used pawn buy to the boy & give the new Moss to the girl.

    They are both getting pawn shop buy .22's in tube feed.

    My wife is gonna be irritated because her Dad gave us a bolt action 20 ga. "for both kids to use", but for bird hunting that's stupidity defined & besides, how could both of them use it @ the same time?  Now back to my need for a gun cabinet... I'm thinking that since we will always have a combo trigger lock on all of them, I can go with a home built wooden cab. that locks & glass face + maybe one of those wire grids behind the glass.  That way I can provide my own spacing between guns & make the whole thing around 2 or 3" deeper for a better gap.

  5. I vote MIA.

    This could actually be a very lucrative side gig for him (provided it doesn't interfere with his kayak outings).

    Grizzled guy with a 3 day old scratchy unshaven face wearing a slightly mismatched suit with obvious ring around the collar, who may or may not be nursing a hangover to officiate your event, guarantees he will go to the reception (& might possibly need a ride over, you pay for his ride away), may or may not hit on some of the wimmenz, dance slightly inappropriately against the bride's mother & let forth a raunchy toast to the couple (so as to save the best man from that wretched duty).

    Prob. a starting rate of $ 175 for a local (to Austin) gig, max 2.5 hours, no religious overtones other than the attendees saying "Oh god...".

    I'm sure that is a business model that could get some legs.

  6. 208 of 254 Texas counties have squirrel seasons. But apparently there are “year round seasons” in many of those counties not in East Texas where there is a definitive “season.”   I wonder which 46 counties don’t have a season at all.   Thanks for being difficult TPWD. 
    Don't EVEN get me started on the stupidity on how the "slot" rule is written for fishing.

    Ex: "No fish under 12" can be retained. No fish in the slot limit of 12" to 18" can be retained."

    Um... why not just say "Nothing under 18" " & be done with it?

  7. Saw a Bentley SUV headed E on 290 in Oak Hill yesterday - had a hitch rack with 2 YETI coolers out back.

    Seems to me kinda "I have a Bentley & you don't" sorta thing, but to each their own desires. If you've got it, spend it I guess.

  8. Read is the kind of guy who revels mostly in the sport and the gear. He messes around with crossbows handed down by his dad and has been shooting squirrels in his yard with a pellet gun, amassing a freezer-full for stew later this fall.
    the author writes about  bubbas, “shooters’ and forging a new Texas hunter yet then then writes about one of his subjects clearly violating game laws by shooting squirrels out of season and presumably inside the city limits. 
    Not smart 
    No season.

    Other than possible city regs, that's a "go get 'em" situation.

    Most people in your average subdivision could whack one with a quality Gamo.e08bd54ef292a122a1dd270d9108babe.jpge7f2ab858156cf387cfcdd07f9cd6337.jpg
