Looks like we will have to say goodbye to V'Ger 1. She's obeying commands but hasnt returned readable info in 3 months....
I often think about the things my great grandmother saw in her lifetime, she lived to be 94, and died in 1996. Her dad drove the mail by horse and freight wagon from Waco to Dallas, she lost a new shoe on the ride, one time, after her dad told her not to put them on. She was afraid to tell him, so had to wear her old shoes for another year. She didn't see automobiles and planes until adolescence. Wired B-24s at Lockheed as a middle aged woman in WWII. Saw Sputnik, the launch of Vger 1, and men on the Moon. Saw the invention of automatic milkers on their dairy. She was in awe of the first cellphones. All of that happened in less than 90 years.

"Of Fatboys and Frauds" -aggy vs Florida game thread
Fuck, I went to the store, to pick up a couple of steaks at halftime. When I got back, the game was no longer on. I thought Florida refused to come out of the locker room for the second half. CHIEF

Thread for games that started in the morning because G650 is a dildo
I’m not sure which one he will have, a stroke, or a heart attack. I’m thinking stroke. I bet his blood pressure is about 220/180 every game he coaches. I would bet good money that he dies on the sideline one day. CHIEF

Texas Recruiting Notes 2025: Duck Around and Find Out
One of CHIEF Jr.'s roommates his freshman year at UTD, was a homebody, and a recluse. You could see his house from the dorm room. His parents told him, when they dropped him off, that in no certain terms he was not to show back up at home unless it was for Thanksgiving and Christmas. CHIEF

Getting old sucks
I don't know if this would make a good different thread, or if the discussion will be short enough to kinda get everyone's input. I was thinking about James Earl Jones, tonight, dying at age 93. To me, the guy not only had a full life, but even more. I've always kinda viewed death in several categories, by age: 0-30 - Absolutely tragic. The more tragic the earlier it happened. 40-55 - Horrible. Possibly left young children. Not there for college expenses. 56-65 - You got jobbed. Paid in all those years, and SS doesn't even give your spouse $250. 65-78 - You can complain to management about your genetics, but that's about it. You were either low mileage, and garage kept, or a 35k a mile/year commuter that hit the salvage yard in an eighth of the time. 78-86 - You made it. Relish every day. 86-99 - Do you need more relish? 100-100+ - What did you do to have been cursed enough to have to walk this Earth so long. CHIEF

I have to say, 93 years is a good run. CHIEF

2023 RB Tre Wisner
All three of Jadon, Tre, and Jerrick would be the premier back in at least the top 50% of FBS schools. Tashard and the blessings he has given this team, with the talent, the character, the hard workers, and his hard work is something that is recognized and honored. He is, by far, may favorite position coach, and the second most important person on this staff. CHIEF

I swear Sark called off the Dogs after scoring 31. Not by subbing, or telling guys to give less than 100% effort. But he went conservative and ran clock. If he would have kept his foot on the gas it would have been an embarrassment for Michigan. The score really wasn’t as bad as it could have been. CHIEF

2021 - Is inflation finally back in the conversation?
That is 100% true. I worked in the Midwest one summer leasing up farmsteads for O&G. The only people able to afford to buy farmland were wealthy people that made their money in something besides farming, and bought a farm for a "hobby." When you would run title, the farms had been in the same family since the Civil War, one had the Deed issued from the sovereign State of Illinois in 1851. The farmers weren't poor by any means, but don't have the capital sitting around to pay $3.6 million in taxes for their half section that has been in their family for over 150 years. I've been looking for farmland to buy for the last 15 years, after putting numbers to it, there isn't anything that will even pay for itself fast enough, much less provide a living. CHIEF

Blastfurnace 2024
I have landscaping guys that I have used for new builds to put in flowerbeds and sod, and I have used them at my home for almost a decade. If they came in and robbed me, I couldn't pick out a single one in a police lineup. They are covered from head to toe. CHIEF

That's exactly how I read that. "Do you see how bad our starters suck?" is an interesting position to take on the recruiting trail, but is probably an honest assessment. And to think, this year, 2024 was the year that they have been pointing out as the year they "would play for all the marbles." CHIEF

I finally got Mrs. CHIEF to realize that what I have bought up is not really an investment. It is never to be sold. I bought it to have something to trade with if the dollar becomes worthless. It might not happen in my lifetime, or even her lifetime. But could definitely happen in CHIEF Jr.'s lifetime. I think having precious metals for such a situation is prudent. CHIEF

Blastfurnace 2024
An older single guy, in our neighborhood, always takes walks for exercise right at dusk. He isn't real social, but has a few friends that he hangs out with occasionally. He went out walking on Monday evening. A buddy went to check on him on Wednesday, as the guy is starting to have a bit of dementia, and no one had seen him since then. He wasn't there, or any of the other times that the friend went by, so they put out a missing persons report last night. They searched all night with dogs and spotlights, we even went with the Ranger for lighting, since we can light up half of Hood county. No luck in finding him. This morning they found him dead on Hole #1 of the golf course. All of that area was checked last night. Apparently he had been wandering since Monday where no one could see him, and died of dehydration, and heat exhaustion sometime in the early morning hours today. CHIEF
