  1. '88 F150, Gray with a red stripe and red vinyl interior. Extended cab, two tanks, manual transmission, 4x2,and those bad-ass triangle windows that help when the AC is sucking. That truck was the tits. Had that great inline-6. Drove from HS, to college, then multiple states across the country after college. Tranny went out in KY, and a true shade-tree mechanic was able to salvage one from a junk yard, less than $2K later, off I went.
  2. Oh man, first look at Montana Knife Company - they sell out in minutes upon every release. Think guys waiting to click the refresh button ala Taylor Swift tickets. Half-Face Blades is another. Super large following. Winkler is pretty damn popular Helm Forge is a local Texas guy Toor Knives RMJ T.Kell Knives
  3. I always heard it was emission concerns. All other light trucks and unaffected other than price
  4. Biggest difference is the engine - they have these small, bulletproof (literally) diesel engines. It doesn't meet fuck-all emission ratings but could drive to the Moon and back, hence it's not sold in the US.
  5. Bigger battery required = more weight = beefier suspension, brakes, and transmission = more cost. Damn Teslas can weigh more than a half-ton ICE truck in many cases.
  6. Just bring the GD Hilux over here - those damn things are indestructible.
  7. When those six bags of mulch won't move themselves...;)
  8. Probably about as safe as one as well. Why not just grab a used Taco if you need a small ranch vehicle or a used 4-banger car like a Corolla or something stupid-reliable for a 3rd car?
  9. It's more for the Ozempic crowd. It's hyper-aggressive but it works for obvious reasons. You can add in the beforementioned "potato-hack" as well. You're basically taking in plenty of fluids, your body starts burning fat reserves, and you can be somewhat satiated with as many raw/semi-cooked veggies as you can stand. You're just forcing your body to cannibalize it's reserves and my guess is that it does suck, but it also works. My assumption is if you can endure such a transformational process, there is little that seems daunting after that. It's a "how-to-be-a-bad-ass" starter kit. For everyone else, eat "real" food, get plenty of fluids, and get off the couch every day and do something.
  10. It's kind of aggressive, but the best advice I ever heard that has worked countless times is just do these three things: 1. Drink only water, black coffee, or unsweetened tea 2. Eat only veggies, preferably lightly cooked with a little salt/butter 3. Move for an hour each day - preferably walking
  11. Meh, in a roundabout way...
  12. We didn't eat the crusts, you stacked them up as trophies of excess and gluttony.
  13. No, the boneyard was how we kept score.
  14. Not anymore, but back in the day at Gattitown or CiCi's, that was the move. Big ass plate of ranch and a "boneyard" of crusts as we were starving college kids. These days we hit mainly Capizi's or Cane Rosso in DFW, and those are too damn good to mess up with any toppings other than parmesan or pepper flakes. Not a fan of Hawaiian pizza, but do you. I used to love a thin-crust pepperoni with diced black olives. The only thing I don't like are white pizza sauces with arugula.
  15. I love a good burger. HEB has wagyu and/or Prime patties that are not super expensive. Brioche bun toasted with cheese. Whataburger spicy ketchup, a hint of horseradish, real mayonnaise, and a hint of avocado ranch mixed together with a crisp pickle slices slams hard.
  16. Wha' doncha' want!
  17. I've had that. Not bad. Wildest thing I ever had was cobra in Vietnam. Brought out alive prior to slither around the floor, hood up, and scare everyone.
  18. Don't overcomplicate this - so far today, two large cups of black coffee, then around 11am four large eggs with irish butter and S&P. Workout at home. Then two large hamburger patties, cheese, and a small avocado. Probably chicken/rice for dinner. Maybe some cabbage?
  19. Lol, no that's him not me. Picture didn't fit so I cropped out his face. I do still has old boots sitting on the mantle in my office and we re-purposed most of those bricks on the new smoker my dad and I built a few decades back.
  20. Which is weird, because my family were all ranchers from W.Texas. G-mother had a massive, maybe half-acre garden and the meat of choice for Holidays was always mutton or venison. Always locally sourced as g-father had quit raising sheep/goats at that time. Dinners were tons of veggies and protein. Of course we had rolls, stuffing, etc. but I don't remember it dominating the table like I see now. We usually had ice cream made with rock salt or cobbler from a dutch oven. Today they are STILL my two favorite sweets. I will say his BBQ skills have been advanced with my generation. Stacked bricks and sheet metal FTW. And of course rocking the paper-thin pearl snap as always.
  21. Not just poor. Wife's family from E.Texas eat like it's their damn job. Holidays, get togethers, etc. it's a GD feast of carbs and shit. Gravy, potatoes, pasta, dressing, rolls, etc. Took me awhile to "learn" how to eat around them, what to eat, and when to eat before so I'm not starving when I get there. And some asshole always brings a tray of Chick-filet nugs that are impossible to ignore. So before and after I have to behave myself to make up for all the shit I eat when I'm there.
