The Mini 14 is plenty sufficient for HD up to 100 yards or so, although there are better options for inside the house so you wouldn’t blow your eardrums out.

Beach looks busy… https://www.sandcastlecondos.com/live-surf-cam/

The red color of lake Bryan is just from corp turds late night skinny dipping. Nothing to worry about.. You mean to say that Red Ass washes off?

That beats the WW2 era anti-aircraft battery next to our Tianmu neighborhood outside Taipei in 1957. It wasn’t to protect our US military dependent housing, but it defended one of the air approaches to Grass Mountain to the east. That was where Chiang Kai Shek’s presidential house was. I hear a year or two after we left it was replaced by a Nike missile installation. At least you guys down there had some big post exchanges and Stateside level facilities. We just had a small compound with a commissary, OC, 4-lane bowling alley, and a snack bar.

No.

Kinda surprised drive in theaters haven’t really made a comeback. Seems like teens would enjoy the relative “privacy” with their favorite squeezes.

Any updates on the “leaks” and if there will be a problem?

Well, the French police agencies like them. Maybe because they sustain less damage when dropped?

Maybe she was still in diapers when VY did his Thing?

Maybe not so trivial…. A couple of weeks ago we were driving down to the Arboretum area in North Austin to meet some friends for happy hour. We had just come down the southbound flyover from 45 onto 183. I moved over one lane after checking the rearview carefully while using the turn signals, when a red Charger roared by in the far left lane easily doing 90. I was doing 78 and slowing down with moderate southbound traffic just up ahead. I remarked to Mrs. Brat that he was obviously a stupid asshole for thinking he could drive up on the traffic like that to weave in & out. THEN….a second asshole in a silver/gray Mustang unseen by me until he FLEW by us in the right hand lane out of nowhere doing well in excess of 100. I am not exaggerating - that dumbass had to hit his brakes to avoid hitting several vehicles about 100 yards ahead, with his tail end wobbling around a little. If he had hit us from behind it would certainly been catastrophic and fatal for all involved. I’m surprised he didn’t roll overjust from the momentun of the slight wobbling at that high speed. Goddamned street racing morons are going to kill someone if they keep their moronic shitforbrains speeding up like that in traffic. rant over.

The top of my ears have actually been drooping over since I turned 75 a few yearsago.

Yeah, that logo spoils the view.

Don’t forget Charles de Gaulle postwar. He made Patton look like the posterboy for humility.

Now that’s just pure cruelty! 😂

I’ll bet those yanks slayed a lot of local poon over the next few months.

The Grand Old Lady of D-Day being towed to dry dock in Galveston last year…

Struck out looking.

I also drink oj, apple juice, low sodium V8, and skim milk.

Gatorade Zero ftw.

I carried a cubic yard of gravel in my 1973 Chevy 1500 short bed. It did have the optional heavy duty sustension (and the 350 engine). looked like the rear was raked, but it made it the 10 miles from the gravel pit to the house ok.

So that’s where you got your username? Beat me to it.
