  1. After watching all of the conference championship matchups yesterday, Indiana, tOSU, and Georgia look to all be legit. They all three pass the eyeball test. I think the eventual champion will come from one of those three teams, and would beat any team from Tech on up by at least two touchdowns. I haven't watched much of Oregon, but Indiana went to their house and whipped them. CHIEF
  2. They are my pick. It's gonna be awful funny when Indiana has a National Championship in the 21st Century, and Aggy doesn't. I can't wait to hear the aggies try to explain the reason. CHIEF
  3. I keep my silver in my gun safe, on the shelf side. When CHIEF Jr. builds his house, we are putting in a walk in gun safe with a hidden entrance. We outgrew our gun safe before it was even bought. We have to lock CHIEF Jr.'s room when kids come over. It's like an armory in there. CHIEF
  4. You carry your precious metals with you? One thing I find peculiar is people, here, not wanting to stack silver because it apparently takes up too much space. Get rid of a suitcase or sumthin’. CHIEF
  5. The "single digit golfer" is what is amazing to me. Even Dear Leader Kim Jong Un, can only shoot an 18. CHIEF
  6. 3,1,2,5,4 Y'all are slippin'. CHIEF
  7. Yeah. In Granbury, the smoked sirloin, rare, is probably the best thing in town at that price point. Mesquite Pit is pretty good for portion size. For traditional cuts like filets and ribeyes, it’s the Pecan Plantation clubhouse, or Whiskey Woods in Glen Rose. CHIEF
  8. I love close games, the house is vacuumed, the Christmas tree is put up, dishes put up, and the toilets are clean. I didn’t do shit. CHIEF
  9. I remember that. From what I remember, it was from something big like a .50 BMG. A rifle that should not be shot in an area with that kind of population density CHIEF
  10. Mom? CHIEF
  11. I tend to think there will be a redrawing of borders that will give Ukraine everything that they currently hold. I also think that restrictions placed on Ukraine will mean literally nothing. The US, NATO, and EU will simply look the other way, and it will be up to the Russians to inspect and plead their case that Ukraine is in violation. Ain't no Russian got time for dat. CHIEF
  12. First thing my granddad would do when he bought Ford 8N tractors. CHIEF
  13. I think the band America sang that. CHIEF
  14. Thanks HC. I was counting on your knowledge and expertise. I was kinda leary, since it is built in China, but CHIEF Jr. swears they are really high quality and made right. I put a 3D printer on my Christmas list, apparently I am usually impossible to buy for. I have two rifles with 50mm objective scopes, but my .300 WSM is a 44mm, and I have a couple of rifles with even smaller objectives. Im gonna use the 3D printer to print adapter sleeves for my different objective sizes. CHIEF
  15. Well, I think I have decided the ditch my cheap ATN thermal, and get a clip on thermal. One of my son's best friends lives next door to one of the main guys that owns IRay. I have heard great things about them, but didn't know if anyone, on here, owned one, or is familiar with them. I'm looking at this one: https://irayusa.com/infiray-outdoor-mate-640-50mm-clip-on-thermal-weapon-sight/ I can probably get it for about $4500. I am tired of having a single rifle dedicated to thermal and with this, I can move it to any rifle with a scope. It can also be used as a monocular. CHIEF
  16. CHIEF

    NIMBYism

    Jayton, Texas did this about 50 years ago with tax from oil royalties. My history/aviation teacher was from there. We went by the school, and they had nice single family homes that they provided for the teachers since Jayton is 100 miles from anywhere. I think Guthrie did the same. CHIEF
  17. When we were leasing 16k acres, on the Swenson Ranch, north of Abilene, we leased for $6/acre, resold the quail lease for $4/acre, and were in at $2/acre. They couldn’t even quail hunt until the day after deer season closed. CHIEF
  18. Or maybe make it all radioactive. Saw a movie about that once, but they tried it on Fort Knox. CHIEF
  19. A fire can be both a blessing and a curse. It will suck this year, best you can do is clean out the feeder pens, and hope there is still enough cover for them to feel safe coming to the feeder. All of the old, dead, matted grass should be burned off, the next three years you should be loaded with deer. The fire will put nitrogen back into the soil, and everything should be green as a gourd. Good time to get a grain drill and research some improved drought resistant perennial grasses (rye, Klein, or bluestem). CHIEF
  20. Yeah. When I was looking for Mrs. CHIEF a purse gun, I got it in .38. Buddy said if I bought it in .357 she would rather be assaulted. CHIEF
  21. Good friend took the last one. I have a couple of elevated spots to view from, tonight. One on Chalk Mountain, west of Glen Rose, and another at the base of Comanche Peak. It was pretty cool last night, but tonight is supposed to be bonkers. CHIEF
  22. Pizza is so cheap around here, I didn't think about checking the freezer section. Damn First World problems. This might actually be cheaper than his quad patty, quad cheese Whataburger. CHIEF
  23. That is what we do in our neighborhood. You get to hear the ol' Blue Hairs bitch about how inhumane the nets are. But it must be done for the health of the herd. CHIEF
  24. I pray to God that CHIEF Jr. doesn't see this. I don't even know where to get square proportional pizza, and beef patties. CHIEF
  25. I swear the just played “Texas Fight” at the Tech/BYU game. CHIEF
