  1. The one's here are better than DQ. That's why I wonder how our DQ stays in business, unless it is a money laundering front for drug cartels. CHIEF
  2. For sure, you can start at Golden Chick, bear crawl the 100 feet to DQ, followed by a 100 foot sprint to Chicken E, and end the amazing tour with a brisk 200 yard jog to Braum's. Oh, and if you need a break from your journey to Braum's, you can step into the Chili's for a refreshing margarita. CHIEF
  3. Our old DQ was converted into a donut shop that doubled as a sushi restaurant in the afternoon and evening. Granbury isn't highfalutin but even the locals avoid eating sushi out of an old DQ. It didn't make it. We have one of the newer DQs with the rock front and modern look. It is a couple of blocks from a Braum's, and also sits between A Chicken Express and Golden Chick. With two places offering better chicken, and Braum's burgers and ice cream, I'm not sure how it stays in business. They must be some Blizzard selling' MoFos. CHIEF
  4. For sure. .243 was actually a sniper round developed for the LAPD in the early 1950's. A necked down .308 brass with a .243 diameter bullet. Low recoil with high velocity let the sniper relax and not worry about recoil, and the velocity meant it was very accurate out to 300 yards. Our stand is big enough to have a gun rack that holds five guns, so I'm probably gonna stock it with: 1. .243 Winchester 2. .300 WSM 3. Suppressed .450BM shooting 395gr. subs 4. Suppressed .300BO shooting 220gr. subs with thermal 5. .17 HMR for coons and other small varmints All of these rifles need to be shot more than they are currently. The landowner has asked us to shoot as many hogs and coyotes as possible. The .243 will accomplish most of that. I ear holed a hog about ten years ago with the .243 while he was running and his head was bobbing up and down in some broom weeds. When we got back to camp, CHIEF Jr. insisted that we go to town for me to buy a lottery ticket, as he said, "ain't nobody THAT skilled, you are just one lucky motherfucker." We are headed up tomorrow to put out two more feeders that we have laying around. A couple of the guys don't have feeders, they left them at their last lease. We also have a connection to a company that sells old astroturf that was removed from football fields. We had it at our last lease, and it does wonders for keeping from tracking mud into your campsite and trailers. We bought two 40'x15' rolls for $600. This shit is thick, with the crumbled rubber still in it. Each roll weighs about 3500 lbs. If any of you DFW area hunters want some, DM me and I can get you the contact info, they have about 40 rolls still at their yard. They are off of Sun Valley just north of where I20 and Loop 820 intersect in SE Ft. Worth. CHIEF
  5. I usually shoot my Sako .300WSM now, but with a much smaller place and 100 yard shots, I think I am going to drop back down to my .243. It's a fucking tack driver with almost zero recoil. I have been shooting it for over 50 years, ever since I was five and weighed about 50 pounds. Our buddy, on the lease, has a twelve year old daughter, it would be perfect for her to borrow. It is considered a youth model now, back when my old man bought it, it was called a varmint special. CHIEF
  6. Mrs. CHIEF fries her CFS in about 1/4" of oil after soaking in buttermilk and egg over night. She fries her chicken in about 2-2.5" of oil after putting it in buttermilk for 3-4 hours, she does not use eggs for chicken. Sorry, I should have clarified that. Her CFS is the best I've ever eaten, her chicken is phenomenal, but not on the level of her CFS. CHIEF
  7. This is the crux of the issue. The best CFSs are not deep fried like fried chicken. They are battered and fried on a griddle. If you want to take a battered up a bone-in chicken breast, fry it on each side for four minutes and then eat it, be my guest. The only similarity is that they have a seasoned flour batter. The steak itself, is marinaded in buttermilk and eggs. I would assume most chicken never goes through the milk and egg process. CHIEF
  8. Stacey Keibler IS a cousin to my best friend, the friend that CHIEF Jr. is named after. Not sure how distant. I've met her and the "Undertaker" a couple of times at my friends house in Maypearl. This was in the early 2000s, she is about ten years younger than my friend and myself, and she was very shiny. CHIEF
  9. My dad went on a mission trip to Cuba in about 2016 or 2017. He said he was absolutely in awe of their resourcefulness. Out in the country, tractors were used as much for transportation (pulling carts that could fit 18-20 people), as they were for agricultural use. They all had bald tires with a million plugs, and he said you couldn't imagine engines that they had retrofitted. Everything from old Volvo diesels, to Chevy inline sixes, and other stuff that he thought was Russian, or possibly South American in origin. If something broke they would work for weeks recasting or repairing a part from what little they had. They did have a few welders and some guys that he said were pretty damn good blacksmiths. CHIEF
  10. Don't you know it. If I grew it out now, I would look like Slade's lead guitarist Dave Hill, or David Crosby, but gray. CHIEF
  11. I feel about the same with Cuba as I do with Iran and Venezuela. There have been multiple attempts to overthrow the existing political structure, all through unarmed protest by an unarmed population only for the existing governments to put them downed with armed violence and political arrests. No one knows better about who needs to be eliminated than the members of that unarmed population. They need to be armed covertly and let them stage coups. All three populations are essentially prisoners in their own country, scraping by while their leadership robs the coffers and lives a luxurious life. CHIEF
  12. I had the exact same thing happen to me as Bevo. I worked at the Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant between my senior year of high school and freshman year of college. You had to take a polygraph for employment. I had long hair, so the old gruff dude that ran the machine accused me of lying about drug use. At that time, I had never touched any non-prescription drugs in my life. It was all based off of him stereotyping. It wasn't enough to keep me from being hired though. But it sure let me know that the person administering the test can interpret anything they want how they want. CHIEF
  13. One of the best days I’ve had was moving far enough away to no longer be responsible for our tailgate. It is absolutely stressful and exhausting. Those were the few years where I wasn’t really excited for season to start. We have a core group that is responsible for dedicated tasks, and a group email to decide what to eat. It also helped that we culled our group from about 200 down to about 30. With road games coming up it should give you some time to find people that come to every tailgate that would take up responsibility for different tasks. Someone for tents and their storage, someone for tv sets and their storage, someone to pick up meat, someone to pick up booze, etc. CHIEF

    Mel Brooks missed a golden opportunity in his History of The World series, "Christopher Columbusbergman, set sail for India with the Nina, Pinta, and the Mazel Tov. Oy vey, what a missed opportunity. CHIEF

    So he was really Christopher Columbustein? CHIEF
  16. Great ride for the apocalypse: CHIEF
  17. I forgot I had a really nice pocket knife in my pocket while entering the Fair, one year, it was probably 2003, so right after 9/11 and the new security. I didn’t want to go back to the vehicle and I didn’t want to loose the knife, so I just pulled it out of my pocket with my keys and wrapped it up in my hand as good as possible. They wanded everything but my hands, just like everyone else. I walked through and put my pocket knife back into my pocket. I have carried one into the Fair ever since. CHIEF
  18. Gravy where you can’t see the CFS just means you are committed. CHIEF
  19. I had to run my blind up to our deer lease on Wednesday. I met a buddy at Mary’s. I got the small gizzards instead of a CFS. It was easily 2.5 lbs. of gizzards. I ate as much as I could, never touched the fries or salad. Brought the rest home to CHIEF Jr. and he ate all he could before putting the rest in the fridge. I told Mrs. CHIEF, who isn’t a gizzard person. I asked her if she expected me to stop back by and order her a CFS. She said she damn sure does. I thought I knew chicken fried steaks. I asked her how she thinks they make it. She said it was marinaded for at least 48 hours in egg, buttermilk, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder, double dredged in flour, and cooked in butter on a griddle. Which is precise as you can get. CHIEF
  20. Can you imagine actually paying for 72 women to nag and browbeat you for the rest of eternity? CHIEF
  21. Yes, it was discussed very early in this or "the small town gems thread" by me. I believe it is the best "restaurant" chicken fried steak I have eaten. My top three, in order, are Murn's, Jake and Dorthy's, and Mary's. If the Wooden Spoon was still open in Cranfills Gap, it would be right there with Murn's. CHIEF
  22. Yep, your deer are like our deer in Pecan, little to no fear of humans, or manmade objects until you get way too close. I have had deer lay in the shade, up against my front door. When you open the door they absolutely come unglued. We have had people in our neighborhood bottle feed fawns that have lost their mother. If they are buck fawns, they are extremely dangerous as the get old enough to join the rut. They are aggressive, unafraid of anyone and are strong and powerful enough to kill you. CHIEF
  23. Must be Highland Park to afford $1.2 million worth of cereal. CHIEF
  24. Mrs. CHIEF's immediate boss lives two blocks off the beach in Indian Rocks, right south of Clearwater. He is staying in a travel trailer in Nashville, as his house in Florida got a three foot storm surge and needs to be gutted after Helene. Milton will be much worse after only a couple of weeks. We told him he needs to sell it and move back to Pennsylvania. I think we will see a mass immigration out of Florida, as insurance rates will be unsustainable, and people will just leave. A massive market crash is inevitable. CHIEF
  25. Yep. The two businesses, in town, that hired a few dozen people have either gone out of business or don’t need as many people. We usually had a two deep, now they are lucky to have enough guys to field a team. CHIEF
