Burt

17 year veteran here who recently ditched them. The YT DVR has taken a little getting use to, but we've been mostly happy these past few weeks with the switch. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the lack of the Longhorn Network. I can log into my mom-in-law's Dish to watch it needed, but her internet is so damn wonky that it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. And I have the ESPN+ option, but I'm not always around to watch it live.

No. Just texted this photo along with the story to all my friends around the area in the ag business. Most of them knew him, and those who did said he's a blowhard.

Got mine in December while my daughter got her second shot. While waiting in line, an old farmer/rancher type walked in wearing his new FJB hat. Another old farmer/rancher friend (small town) of his who was in front of me commented on how he loved his hat and said he'd ordered him and his wife LGB shirts. LGB then asked FJB if he was there to get vaxxed. He replied loudly, as if to put on a show for the other 10 people who were waiting, "I aint gettin' that Fauci ouchy! I'm getting the flu shot." Anyway, I had to go back and fill out something I'd missed on my daughter's paperwork so we wound up directly behind FJB. As he was getting his "flu" shot (doors were open with me and my daughter just outside), I could hear him quietly tell the nurse that he'd already had J&J, then ask if he should do Pfizer or Moderna for his second. My daughter, who is only 9, looked up at me laughing and said, "he's full of crap!"

Didn't realize there was a "new" thread for this. Posted this in the "old" thread. Just tested positive this morning. Triple vaxxed so we'll see if that shit works. Was grilling chicken and having a beer Saturday evening and all of a sudden started feeling very tired with chills. It was 28 degrees so went inside a felt a bit better and thought nothing of it. A couple hours later started getting a cough. Wound up sleeping on the couch that night because my daughter has commandeered the guest bedroom, and her bed is too small for me. Still only had a cough Sunday morning. Still felt a bit tired, but I attributed that to sharing a cough with a 90 lb dog and a puppy who can only be still in 5 minute intervals. Cough got a bit worse last night. My throat only hurts when I cough, and the only other symptoms are occasional body aches and a temp of 99 (usual is around 97.5). My wife made an appointment for me this morning thinking it was just what everyone up here calls "the crud" and that they'd give me something for the symptoms and on my way I'd be. Nope.....positive.

Haven't needed one since this all began either. Got ours in the mail Saturday. Started showing symptoms Saturday night. Tested positive Monday morning.

Also, no lost of taste, smell nor appetite. In fact, I've been starving the past two days.

Babydog??

All you Bird haters, are yall too young to appreciate 80s basketball (still the greatest era of the league)...or were yall sympathetic to Magic's whiney ass?

No season 2. https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/2022/0125/1275883-jeff-daniels-american-rust-has-been-cancelled/

Don't forget about Britt pointing a gun in a man's face in a road rage incident. That happened around the same time he was running a drug ring from Andy's basement.

Well shit, I never knew Trapper John was a Cartright until this fucking minute.

The son of one of my best friends going up committed to Indiana today.

I pay $214.92/yr for 3 radios. That averages to $5.97/mo for each one. That includes the music royalty fee for each one.

Firestick. Tried it on my PC and phone, too, with the same result.

That's a very OCD-specific amount.

I negotiated a great price for Dish last year and that finally ran out. They've always been will to negotiate in the past but this time they're making it much tougher. So we finally decided to give YoutubeTV a try. When I called to cancel they offered me exactly what I was paying before the increase, but I'd already made up my mind. Besides, YTTV was a few bucks cheaper. Dish was willing to put a 3 month hold on my account in case I wanted to return so we did that. This first week we've been mostly happy with YTTV. There is one thing I'd like changed....for instance, I'd like to delete individual watched episodes from my Library rather than just have them marked as "watched". But the real test came today, though - recording a football game. I prefer to start it about 45-60 minutes after kickoff so I can skip commercials for at least the first half. However, I didn't get started on the GB-SF game until the game was already over. I keep getting error messages when trying to play it, though. Same thing happened to me with a basketball game a couple of days ago. Is this a common occurrence when trying to watch sporting events? Because fucking around with watching games will drive me right back to Dish.

Now Louie Anderson. Fat people dying like a motherfucker this morning. I better be careful today! https://billingsgazette.com/entertainment/television/louie-anderson-emmy-winning-comedian-dies-at-68/article_40a1d820-6a7a-5ec9-9335-1cfdef80cd43.html?utm_source=billingsgazette.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletter-templates%2Fnews-alert&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_content=d461456eb66d071573eec73823dd985b31feed0d

Yep, I'm seeing that now. "Holly [Rowe], it's not giving up. It's 49–21, sweetheart."

Just saw that Ralph Emery died over the weekend. https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/17/entertainment/ralph-emery-obit/index.html

After three straight weekends of below zero temps, we finally got up to 40 degrees so Allie and her girl were itching to get some trail time out on the Milk River.

Spoken like someone who thinks 32 degrees is winter weather.

Was sitting on the couch with my dogs on my day off watching The Alpinist. Just as the movie got to a very suspenseful moment, I heard sirens...but I just thought it was part of the movie. But it got louder for a few seconds and then stopped. I live halfway up a dead end road and most of the people up toward the end are older, so I thought it may have been an ambulance. I decided to take the dogs out in the front yard and do a little recon to where it went. As soon as I opened the door, my overly protective lab took off in a dead sprint toward what I just realized was a dumbass on his knees in the middle of my usually quite street and cop with an M-16 aimed between his shoulders. I'm screaming like a motherfucker at my dog to stop before she wound up on the wrong end of a bullet so I couldn't really hear what was being said. By the time I got her back in the house the cop was already cuffing the guy. I've since learned it was a guy who everyone in town has been following on Facebook for the past couple of weeks to watch his meltdown over his slut of a girlfriend. He was finally arrested last week after a 4 hour standoff with charges of Intimidation, Criminal Trespass, and Assault with a Weapon. Apparently, he does a little side work with my next door neighbor and was dropping off something for him to give to the guy's kids. It was three years ago this week this week that something very similar happened in that exact same spot!

With ourselves.
