  1. Granddog Toby’s lymphoma is progressing, so they bought him these foldout stairs to get in the SUV.

    Getting old sucks

    Service tech guy said the a/c circuit board in the attic shorted out and burned up the blower motor. Earliest fix is tomorrow afternoon if their warehouse has the parts in stock, so it looks like we will overnight at son’s house nearby. We are going to his July 4th bbq this afternoon anyway.

    Came home ok at 8:30pm to discover that the central a/c was not functioning and it was 81 degrees in the house. It was 88 outside when we went to bed at 10:30, and was still 80 in the house this morning. we got about 3 hours sleep. We keep it at 76 daytime, 71 nighttime. Since it is the July 4th holiday, the tech service will be double charge if they make it over here. If necessary we’ll stay at son’s nearby house tonight.

    3rd trip to the ER this year…
  7. Back in the day I called those huge full size sedans “chrome barges”.
  8. Heh, in 1984 my Mom - something of a car snob - wanted a new 98 Olds with a vinyl roof, but Dad was kinda tight with a buck and bought the 88 instead. That didn’t sit well with her so Dad had the dealer install a white vinyl roof a month after the initial purchase. She was happy with that. After she passed away in 1992 Dad sold it for a pittance even though it had a little over 8,000 miles on the clock.
  9. There was a reason he became an alcoholic after moving to Tennessee.
  10. They are still pissed about Crockett & Houston portaling, not to mention flipping Simms.
  11. Saw this one posted on a gun forum…
  12. Somebody is using creative accounting for that list. Just football revenue is very telling…. https://www.collegeraptor.com/college-rankings/details/TopRevenue/
  13. That’s probably closer to the truth. 😄
  14. Heh, when my Dad was a teenager in rural northwest Missouri a century ago, one of the local residents was a CW veteran who had survived Andersonville. That old man had some interesting experiences to tell about. His arm had been amputated below the shoulder and the doctor put some maggots on the sutured wound to eat away the dead flesh which helped prevent gangrene. His tentmate had a shot out eye socket,and every morning Dad’s friend would urinate it so the uric acid would piss away infections.
  15. They should know by now that the propaganda spread by the Aggies is bullshit. Of course there will always be hate for the Great State of Texas from those tiny dick SEC hillbillies.
  16. First time back at Chuy’s all year. Chicken fajitas are still delicious, BUT……the flour tortillas must be store bought, as they are not nearly as good as those made on site by the little abuelas
  17. My former neighbor was roommates with Perry and they were also in the USAF flight school together. Neighbor was/is a nice guy and doesn’t talk aggy smack.
  18. My brother’s grandson has been an AFD emt & rescue firefighter for almost 20 years. A few years ago he & a colleague spent a half hour or so suspended out 100’ over Barton Creek on the end of their firetruck ladder in the middle of the night trying to fish with grappling hooks a drowned tuber’s body off the bypass drain just above the pool.
