  1. I had a Great-Great Uncle that went pronghorn hunting back in the 1950's. The rancher was his guide, and simply hung his coat on a fencepost next to a water trough. Pronghorns are extremely curious, and after a while the whole herd had to come see what it was that was hanging on the fencepost. He picked out the biggest buck and shot him. CHIEF
  2. We have several pilots, that live here, some are based out of DFW, Love, and Houston. They fly their planes to work, land at a smaller regional airport, and Uber to the international airports close by. CHIEF
  3. We have them in King County, but they are sparsely populated as there are no large wheat fields within 7-8 miles of our pasture. When we hunted at Aspermont, they were as thick as mosquitos. You would see 75 a day, mainly in the wheat fields.In the winters, that's where they concentrate as it is the only place to get grass with nutrients. If we see any in King County, it is big individuals, or small sounders that show up to the feeder. CHIEF
  4. See that feed pen? I built it with me own two hands, but do they call me CHIEF, the pen builder? No. But you fuck one post driver… If you are in dirt with minimal rocks, it will drive a 6 ft. T-post over two and a half feet deep in about 10 seconds. CHIEF
  5. I bought one of these last year. We move feeders and pens so much, works like a charm. I think I may have brought it up earlier in this thread, or the one from last year. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073DBLL29/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 CHIEF
  6. I just listed a private home, built in 2017, by a retired AA pilot with a 40x40 hanger in our subdivision. These do not come up for sale very often. Concrete taxiways behind each house. Two golf courses. DM me if this has always been your dream. Had a guy fly in to look, but he had two bigger planes, one on turf tires, but there isn't a grass strip at this location, so he passed. Here is the info on the strip: https://www.airnav.com/airport/66TE CHIEF
  7. We have three state parks in my area, Cleburne State Park, Meridian State Park, and Dinosaur Valley State Park. Dinosaur Valley is the only one that gets steady traffic. The CCC built them all in the 1930's. My grandfather told me when they were first built, during Prohibition, that's where you went every Saturday night for dancing, and to buy moonshine. There would be hundreds of folks there. After Prohibition was repealed, the state parks just dried up. CHIEF
  8. Our State Parks are woefully underfunded. A decade or so ago, I read some article on their funding. There was a crazy quote that caught my eye. It said that at current funding, state parks could replace their work trucks every 700 years. Trucks are a lot more expensive now. CHIEF
  9. Well, monkey pox never really took off, so maybe we have a puncher’s chance. CHIEF
  10. CHIEF: Chief Jr., why aren't you going back to UT-D? CHIEF Jr.: Because it's full of ugly bitches, and there isn't a motherfucker there that likes Merle Haggard. CHIEF: Well then, I completely understand. CHIEF
  11. Fuck, that is a UT-D eight. When CHIEF Jr. was there, we would visit, not a group of homelier female coeds on the planet. CHIEF
  12. I remembered this thread from last year in CYHMWT. It was LTBear asking about having kids or not. Several of the posters in this thread, commented on that one too. Posters telling why they decided to have kids or not. I thought I would add a link, here, if anyone wants to see the mindset of people who wanted kids, and those that did not: CHIEF
  13. I’ve come to the conclusion that Olympic coverage, on TV, is about what is the easiest and cheapest sport to film. It isn’t about what sports people actually want to see. It’s all about profit margin. CHIEF
  14. CHIEF

    Arrowhead Hunting

    I dug some with my skid steer to see if anything showed up. So far it has been zilch. I'm thinking about building a stock tank on the draw and have the spring in the center. I imagine something may come up from down deep. CHIEF
  15. Mrs. CHIEF is on that shit. Being a tightwad, she checks every diamond on every piece of jewelry before she puts it on. There is always something at the jewelers getting its prongs fixed. CHIEF
  16. And the team that held them to the fewest points of the year wasn't an SEC team. Aggy puts way too much stock in kids wanting to play in the SEC. If it was as big of a deal as they make it out to be, the SEC would be ranked 1-14 in recruiting. Missouri ended up behind K-State. CHIEF
  17. Had a buddy that had a 289 in a '71 Datsun compact truck, could not keep rear tires on that thing. CHIEF
  18. I think it is to let them see our massive dong. Pull all the jets outta the hangers, tanks outta their bays, line the troops up in a big Dickbutt formation for the camera. Let them see all the hardware and troops. Make it where they would rather jackoff a grizzly bear with a handful of cockleburs than fuck with the US. CHIEF
  19. https://www.collegetuitioncompare.com/edu/228787/the-university-of-texas-at-dallas/tuition/ This shows a little over $132k. Does not include a vehicle, gas, or other activities. CHIEF
  20. Happened at Tech to my cousin, back in 2009, that was my warning. Cousin wasn't driving but his girlfriend's brother was. DWI with two counts of manslaughter after hitting a car with two girls and killing them both. It was a brand new crew cab F-150 with less than 10k miles on it with five kids in it. Completely totaled. My uncle bought him a used single cab after that. The girlfriend's Dad was a veterinarian, and owned a lot of property. He spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep him out of jail only to have his kid get busted for a bad urine sample during probation, so he ended up in prison for 11 years. CHIEF
  21. I have seen several entry level jobs that look like they fast track you into an SE job as an assistant, still pretty decent money. Low tech stuff, security, audio/video, dust and contaminant control positions, will let you be a SE after a short training period on what they offer. It just doesn't have the kind of travel he is wanting. I agree, he needs to get some industry experience in the field he is interested in. He came in a few minutes ago and we talked about it. He then went into a diatribe about maybe going back to get his Masters, I just shook my head. He needs to go to work, and let his company pay for it. CHIEF
  22. I will never not own a flatbed truck, I have decided. Things are so much better for my old ass if a forklift can just drop what I need on a pallet to be loaded. I got this 2018 Ford F-350 in 2019 with 76k miles for $43k. It has 101k, and I had a guy offer me $58k for it the other day. It is 24.5 feet long and is a bitch to park, but I can throw two tons of feed on the bed, and barely even squat it. I have a skid steer, tractor, 28 foot gooseneck that I pull behind it regularly, and a Polaris Ranger to drive around the neighborhood. It is still the primary vehicle I take to town, the huge back seat will hold several hundred dollars worth of groceries. CHIEF Jr. drives a 2014 Ram 1500 4x4 Hemi. We got it for him because it was so cheap. We bought it in 2016 with 20k miles for $22k, it is worth more than that now. We bought a single cab so he couldn't haul around a bunch of other college students and end up in lawsuits over a possible wreck. Pickup prices are just plain ridiculous right now. CHIEF
  23. My kid CLEPed out of English, but didn't do much dual credit in high school. They didn't have high school teachers, at his school to teach mid-level STEM college curriculum. Dual credit seems to be the most bang for the buck, followed by junior or community colleges for the first 76 hours, and finish out at a four year university. The tuition at Hill College wasn't really any more expensive than McLennan Community College was for me, almost 30 years ago. CHIEF
  24. UTD is expensive as fuck for a public university. More expensive than UT-Austin. I remember we paid for the full academic year, up front. It was over $33k. That was before books. They rape you on rent, and the half ass food plan. Only thing he ever ate was personal pan pizzas. The extra $4k or so was grabbing something different to eat, and entertainment. It's a big commuter campus, and they roll the sidewalks up at night. Indoor go-cart racing gets expensive. CHIEF
  25. I was surfing Hornfans in my underwear, at our house in Cedar Park, and heard the explosion from the Columbia. Watched the Challenger explode on TV in Government class in high school. So pretty much the same as JC. CHIEF
