  1. Was watching the Jacksboro tornado, worried Herd’s was going to take a hit. Told CHIEF Jr. it went west by a little over half a mile. It was past the turn to Antelope. That Jacksboro high school and the Dollar General took the direct hit. Hate to be right for once. CHIEF
  2. I always loved cruising at about 2000 feet to look at shit on the ground. This just goes to show that altitude gives you more time to get mentally prepared, and gives you options on where to go. Out by our lease, it's probably safe to be near FL 10k. It's easily 30-40 miles between useable runways. CHIEF
  3. Bought a 12x24 greenhouse this last week to put by my shop. Once I get my well on electricity, should be good to go. It will not be here till mid-June, but I should be able to grow year round.
  4. Don't think they will attack outside their borders, but would take as much territory in the Crimea, and Eastern Ukraine as they could possibly hold. NATO backed its welterweight against the heavyweight. We helped the welterweight put on a few "pounds" to make it a fair fight. I don't think that is unreasonable. Up to this point, NATO just wants this to be a fair fight, no hits under the belt. The heavyweight is hitting them in the balls, and asking their buddies to jump in. CHIEF
  5. Not glass in the real sense, but shoot down any flights that leave those countries headed towards Russia, lending mercenary or equipment support in the promise of commitment. Just enough to make the commitment not worth it. Is that better? That's really what I meant. CHIEF
  6. Interested in seeing her platform (shoes). CHIEF
  7. They aren't a part of NATO or even a former Warsaw Pact country. All of these countries that Pussy-assed Putin has to call upon to defeat Lil' Ol' Ukraine we should just turn to glass for even thinking about it. The old "let them duke it out, but if you jump in, we all jump in." This is a two way street. How humiliating that you have to plead with Belarus, Syria, and Libya to send troops to finish a job that you are too inept, and chickenshit to accomplish yourselves. Let Israel wipe out Libya, and Syria. Let Sweden and Finland take out Belarus. You still haven't attacked Russia. I would put this on the table, and make their country's leaders walk back their commitments. CHIEF
  8. This is the view of the Big L fire from the west side of our subdivision. I texted my cousin, he is a Weatherford firefighter, and in the direct path. Told him I had a pressure washer, 270 gallon tote, and a full bladder. CHIEF
  9. With the Russians now taking defensive positions, this is the opportunity for the Ukrainians to starve them out. I would have armed civilians covering every convenient store, farm, bombed out market, and grain bin I could find. Have the Ukrainians haul off what tiny amount remains, and stash it, then, ambush every foraging Russian they see. A Russian soldier that hasn't eaten in 4-5 days is already going to be pretty weak, and obviously will take chances to get some food in his belly that he normally wouldn't take. CHIEF
  10. Good to hear. I heard it fourth hand, kinda like playing telephone. When CHIEF Jr. told me, I kinda thought that a situation like that would be "bigger news". Haven't even heard about anything on that. CHIEF
  11. One of CHIEF Jr.'s classmates is from Gorman, he said Carbon and Gorman are pretty much gone. My old roommate from De Leon is probably gonna loose his parent's house. I can see the smoke, here in Granbury, 50-60 miles away. CHIEF
  12. That's a fucking "cat lover", if I've ever seen one. CHIEF
  13. Tell him he can go find the aisle for candy and load up on black licorice, nobody eats that shit. CHIEF
  14. Replacing 1000 of your personal staff after invading a sovereign nation under false pretenses is a bold move. It's like a triple dog dare, like he wants to be poisoned. CHIEF
  15. It's even scarier than we think. This is from 2017, and has warning at the end stating all of the technology already exists. FIVE YEARS ago. CHIEF
  16. Love ours. It's "cadillac'ed" out with gunracks, insulation, and a shooting table aka the buffet table. CHIEF
  17. Dyess AFB in Abilene, and Carswell/Lockheed plant in Ft. Worth would probably be 1b. and 1c. to Ft. Hood. Would probably be on the same warhead just different MIRVs. CHIEF
  18. Even better, it would probably be the truth. CHIEF
  19. Well its been there a few million years. Maybe we can get some Roquefort, Gorgonzola, and Stilton. A pasty, sharp, and germy blue is right up my alley. CHIEF
  20. We all know the moon is made of cheese. So if gravity pulls it to Earth, do we get delicious cheese? Or will it all become queso from the heat of reentry? I would hope for a bit of both. Get cheese from countries where the cheese fell at night, then, queso from the countries where it was daytime. CHIEF
  21. That's what I'm thinking as well. If Ukraine wins this, or eventually causes the Russians to abandon the campaign and go home. Putin will be neutered for the rest of his life. He will never live long enough to see war production ramped up enough to try this bullshit again. Russia will never again have international supply lines that will send military components. Their ability to wage conventional warfare will go the way of the dinosaur. He will be in power, but this will be the end of the saber rattling. CHIEF
  22. I've been thinking about this. Pretty much any Russian in a tank, APC, or fuel truck taking an RPG or Javelin is KIA. In an aircraft, getting hit by a Stinger, KIA. There has been very little infantry, which would tend to be wounded. The Russians don't really have the logistics to remove their dead, or injured. So the injured my end up KIA sitting right where they were WIA, and bled out. The number might only be 1.5x, or 2x, possibly. CHIEF
  23. Bronco Comfortably Numb (wish I liked Thunderstruck more). CHIEF
  24. If Russia objects over the MIGs being sent. The argument should be that humanitarian corridors are being attacked even though a ceasefire has been enacted. The MIGs have been sent to help enforce the ceasefires agreed upon by both parties. We are sure that Russian forces are acting on their own, and not under direction from Moscow. Surely their Superiors in Moscow would want these corridors "enforced" at "all costs" to prevent humanitarian catastrophes. The Ukrainians flying these aircraft have been instructed to only enforce humanitarian corridors, but we have no say in what missions are conducted, if any, between agreed upon ceasefires. CHIEF
