  1. Well, you won't have to worry about a SIL. A hunting and tailgate buddy is always trying to get my son to date his daughter, she goes to the same college, and is on the equestrian team. She is pretty hot, but CHIEF Jr.'s response is "I have seen her feed bill, and I'm gonna be honest Travis, there is no one that is going to get into a serious relationship after seeing that." Apparently all the college guys stay away from the "horse girls". CHIEF
  2. Maybe HEB came through and got him some NIL to promote their Papa Murphy's pizzas. CHIEF
  3. My paternal side of the family got here between 1654 and 1658, my son is the 13th generation. All Scotch/Irish. They stuck to living in Virginia for the first five generations, hit the Cumberland Gap and moved to Kentucky by the late 1700s. Tennessee by the first decade of the 1800s, then to Pulaski County, Missouri by 1845. My 2xgreat-grandfather got to Bosque County in about 1850. My maternal side is mostly Irish, they were here during the Revolutionary War, and moved south, coming to Texas through Georgia, and Alabama. My wife's family history is very interesting. Her paternal side came with Prince Karl to New Braunfels in 1844, they are buried from Bexar, Comal, to Blanco Counties. Her mother's side didn't get here from Germany and Poland until the late 1800s, and made a fortune cabbage farming around Corpus Christi. They moved after a huge hurricane in about 1903, and bought a ranch at Tilden, sold that and bought several thousand acres around Blanco and Wimberly. CHIEF
  4. Another scam, again, it happened to my son. I was with him on the way to the deer lease when it all went down. A scammer hacked and copied his Snapchat page. the hackers sent a message, posing as him, to all his friends that asked them to Venmo him money, as he was unable to pay his rent for the month. Of course, his phone blew up with everyone calling him, since they all knew he lived at home. No one got suckered into sending him money. He has since, closed his Snapchat, and all social media, the only way to reach him is by text, voice, or email. Like a normal adult. CHIEF
  5. My son has a pretty big batch of Snap-On tools. I told him it would have been much cheaper to just have a cocaine habit during college. CHIEF
  6. Happened to my son. He recently got a call supposedly from one of his best friends. It was very frantic, but the scammer used words and phrases that his friend would never use. So he asked him when was the last time you were at my house? What kind of car were you driving? Of course they couldn't answer, so he hung up and called the friend, who was sitting in his underwear, eating cold pizza at home. CHIEF
  7. I've watched so many videos of drunk Russian soldiers, that it would make sense if the Ukrainians made Fentanyl vodka with labels in Russian. Drop them at the front, fall back, and wait till the fatal dose of Fentanyl to kick in. Or better yet, use something that takes a week or two for a fatality so the Russian troops have time to distribute it to all of their fellow assholes. CHIEF
  8. Headed down the week of May 21st to the 28th. CHIEF Jr.'s graduation present. Getting his GF certified right now. Both of her parents are certified and absolutely stoked she is doing it. Diving with our buddies from Gatos Reef. Mrs. CHIEF is gifting the GF her Mexican boyfriend, Dario. Great dude for first time divers on Cozumel. CHIEF
  9. Cool shit that I still use, but inherited would also be a cool thread. I have my great-great-great grandmother’s cast iron skillet it is over 150 years old. It makes killer gravy. I have the pitcher and cups I drank kool-aid out of as a toddler. CHIEF
  10. CHIEF Jr. Mixes the salt and pepper with the pickle flavor. It’s pretty fucking good. CHIEF
  11. CHIEF Jr. was in Stephenville yesterday afternoon. I texted him at 4:50 that he needs to leave town by 5:10 or wasn't going to have a windshield on the drive back. He said the temperature gradient was so vast, in such a short distance, that it created dense fog, with about 200 feet of visibility for about a half mile along the frontal boundary. CHIEF
  12. Half a D9 jumbo is bliss, a whole would be righteous. Spend that much on bourbon a week, at least. Gonna be my gateway to get off the sauce....I think. CHIEF
  13. Original 1977 Saturday Night Fever album. That bitch was nearly $17. First "big" item I ever saved up money for, and it took about six months to save up. CHIEF
  14. So, how did it compare to Dart Bowl enchiladas? CHIEF
  15. Yeah, I don't know what automated process can determine that a load has shifted and needs to be restrapped and can perform that function. Vans and reefers, no problem. But items on flatbeds and lowboys shift all the time. If anything, the self driving trucks will still be used in conjunction with drivers, as drivers do more than just drive. We will probably see driver manifests go away, along with restricting the hours a driver can be on the road. A six hour nap while the truck does the driving. CHIEF
  16. Better to get no money at home then have to pay the cost to move? Out of 2k players in the portal, is he even in the top 10%? CHIEF
  17. Ordered my D9 jumbos, supposed to be here Tuesday. CHIEF
  18. I would imagine Sark gave Malik a pep talk about Matt Cassel. He would be one sprain, break, or concussion away from being the starter. What a luxury to have possibly a back up with minimal drop off from the starter. Most teams that loose a starting QB will have lost their chance at winning a conference championship and a chance at the CFP. I don't think Texas is a CFP team this year, but could win the conference even if Malik had to take the reins. CHIEF
  19. I assumed it was for the physics involved in successful rock throwing at cars. Weight of the rock, trajectory requirements, timing, thickness of windshield, etc. You know, child's play for a rocket surgeon. CHIEF
  20. How is anyone supposed to know he had it? He may have never told anyone, including the abused spouse. Really, if anyone wants to have a gun, bad enough, they are going to be able to get one. Confiscating guns from people for violent acts (domestic abuse, road rage, assault) is a tall order. They turn in one, they may have another hid in the storage shed under a lawnmower. How do you convince someone that is mentally deranged that they are a menace to themselves, their family, and the general public, and need to turn over ALL of their guns? These people are already non-law abiding citizens. CHIEF
  21. It's a bit more than an hour to NYC, but I hear that East Palestine, Ohio has some cheap vacancies. CHIEF
  22. I bet he misses getting the Roman Orgy at The Magic Time Machine, while getting served by The Cat in the Hat. CHIEF
  23. I don't think there was any maliciousness in what PK did. Arch got the same treatment that any other true freshman QB would get from any opposing DC. Send the house and get to the QB, until he can prove that he can read a defense quickly enough to get the ball out. It's the price of inexperience. CHIEF
  24. Sorry, was busy peeling scrimps and didn't proofread. CHIEF
  25. Google says $1,000,000 worth of dimes weigh slightly over 5000 lbs. I would look for the pick up with the frame bottomed out on the spring perches headed for the William J. Lapetomane tollway. CHIEF
