  1. Same here. My wife is a penny-pincher, as was her whole family. I bought Mrs. CHIEF her first $25+ purse, a $250 Coach. She carried it for about 25 years before giving it to her sister, that had never had a $25+ purse. It looked like it had been with Lewis and Clark on the expedition to the Pacific for several years. CHIEF
  2. Yep. There was a huge one at about 5 o'clock. CHIEF
  3. It certainly lived up to it's billing. It cleared out at just the right time for us. It looked the same as it does at around 7:30 in the evening. I took a picture of my dog in the yard, but it was so dark that my camera flash went off. Eclipse shadow through pecan leaves. CHIEF
  4. I actually like the thin cloud cover we have. The cheap glasses aren’t dark enough with a less than 50% eclipse. CHIEF
  5. We are on the western edge of totality, and have the best chance of minimal cloud cover south of I-20. 75% chance of having a good view. CHIEF
  6. I heard it strains the eyes. CHIEF
  7. You have to drive down the road a bit to Proctor to hit any liquor stores. Oh, and the milk transporter that washes out his trucks on the SW side of town has to be the worst thing I have ever smelled. CHIEF
  8. Got a buddy that works for Hill County Sheriff's Dept., he has a house in Aquilla, which is dead center of the path, he is gonna get a full 4:30 minutes of totality. I'm in the path, but only get a little less than 2:30 of totality. Think I'm gonna just sit in the back yard, and say "fuck the extra two minutes." The drive to Aquilla is usually about an hour and a half, but would probably turn into an all day affair just getting there and back. CHIEF
  9. Give me a ping Vasili, and one ping only please. CHIEF
  10. Cleto Cordero is with Flatland Cavalry. CHIEF
  11. Discussed this last night. CHIEF Jr. has been keeping up with it. Apparently a dab pen was found in the boy's truck, there isn't evidence that they were high, but blood results showed THC in their system, which means they had smoked within the last 30 days. Both boys are semi-vegetables, have no recollection of the accident, and will probably end up being deemed "not competent to stand trial". It would be a death sentence to throw them in the GP of the prison system. It makes sense to charge them for the satisfaction of the victim's families. I'm not sure where they will end up. CHIEF
  12. Mrs. CHIEF has stayed on top of the season. I quit checking prices and size. Looks like she is planning a boil the third weekend in April. Prices are down, size is good, and there aren't as many dead soldiers. I still want to write the season off, but that bitch is persistent. May have to let her rub my "Man card" on her bearded clam. CHIEF
  13. We've got the same situation, here, in Pecan Plantation. We have so many deer, they net around 1000 each year. Someone will post a mountain lion picture about once every six months. We usually have three to four in here at any given time (momma, two cubs, and a Tom). It is a buffet on the hoof. A lot of coyotes as well. CHIEF
  14. When you are not glued to a screen consuming 16 hours of social media, or have access to hundreds of TV channels at your fingertips a lot of creativity can come from staving off boredom. It was also used as a great coping mechanism. Writing great lyrics, catchy hooks and riffs, and getting a little notoriety was great for the ego, especially when your friends and hot girls would bring lawn chairs to your garage to hear your buddies and yourself play. CHIEF
  15. As a builder, small homes just aren't profitable. It costs just as much to plumb a 2 1/2 bath 2000 square foot home as a 2 1/2 bath 3200 square foot home. Plumbers charge by the fixture (or hole). Garage doors, lot cost, appliances, etc. are going to cost the same but you have much less square feet to spread the cost across. Spending 6 months driving 15 minutes each way, each day to GC and check on the progress just isn't worth the $10-20k in profit, especially since you have to warranty all of the work. CHIEF
  16. At full pool level, not over filled, I have seen depths of over 300 feet, on a high end depth finder, in the area right below The Oasis. I remember back in the 90's when someone lost a sailboat, and they didn't find it for about a decade. It's pitch black at the bottom. CHIEF
  17. That Soul Train and Break Dancing originated in the 1930's: CHIEF
  18. https://www.nola.com/news/business/disaster-declaration-for-louisiana-crawfish-shortage/article_d1c1603c-dc03-11ee-8374-cbd43a4cc2d0.amp.html Moose out front and shit. CHIEF
  19. Well, CHIEF Jr.'s best friend is getting married in Ashland on Labor Day Weekend, he is the Best Man. We found a deal to fly into Medford for only $20 more/head than into Eugene. His buddy is the associate golf course superintendent at Bandon Dunes.We are debating going for 4-6 days. CHIEF Jr. and I both want to see Grove of the Titans down by Cresent City, then head to Bandon for a couple of days to eat, golf, and hang out with the wedding party. If we are there for six days gonna hit up Crater Lake. We will probably have some of the groomsmen with us, any "can't miss" breweries in the area? Mrs. CHIEF and I will probably hit a couple of wineries as well. CHIEF
  20. CTJ could give Worthy a three Mississippi count and still beat him by three yards, all while doing it backpedaling. CHIEF
  21. I’d rather be pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain….personally. CHIEF
  22. Those cattle weren't fleeing the smoke, they were chasing the feed truck with the blaring siren. CHIEF
  23. It’s like fishing at the coast with a slack tide. Nothing hitting bait but hardheads and lady fish. CHIEF
  24. Just got a text from my crawfish guy, prices are staying around $7.99/lb. Apparently the killer right now is mortality. He said that about a 3rd of each bag is dead. An abnormal amount of crawfish are molting in the crawfish sacks and getting crushed to death. CHIEF
  25. We stopped by the boiling booth outside of our HEB yesterday, to get an idea of how much crawfish were going for by the pound, and to gauge the size. Turns out, all they had was shrimp, and a sign that said they wouldn't have crawfish until March. CHIEF
