  1. Boyd was flagged a bunch, but IMHO those were saved touchdowns and we’ll earned. Rather take the 15 and live to fight another day. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. I have the A400 in 20 ga. It's a great gun and I've had no issues with it at all. Great little dove gun.
  3. As a parent of someone with Trisomy 21, fuck you for implying my son would be associated with aggy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. As a follow up to my post about an antelope gun, I ended up getting a Remington 700 in 6.5 Creedmore and threw a Nightforce SHV 4-14 50mm on it. Sighted it in and was able to hit a 12" plate at 700m 3/3 times. Was only 1/4 at 1000m. Ended up taking my antelope at 435m. It's a shooter! Thanks for the recommendations.
  5. Thanks for all the info. I really like the Excursion, it's fun to mess with. That being said, I don't have time to do the work myself, and would just hire it out. The other option would be to drive the F250 up to OK and get this dude to go to work on it: http://www.customautosbytim.com/index.html
  6. Antelope. Any thoughts on Weatherby's? Specifically the Mark V Arroyo series. Still well made?
  7. I like that platform, I think it might be a bit heavy for crawling around NM. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Thanks for the response. Are head studs necessary if it’s not going to be chipped? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Thanks for the replies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. Any other platforms other than the Ruger that come highly recommended? My budget is around $3k for rifle & scope. I’ve handled the Ruger and am not a huge fan of the stock. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. Tell me about the 6.0 liter Powerstroke (2005).... Bought an Excursion back in December to haul kids/gear around last November. I’ve put about 8k miles on it since, mostly road trips. I’m looking to bulletproof it as I can’t take my eyes off the EOT/ECT temps whenever I’m on a road trip and want to be confident that it won’t break down 500 miles from home with my family having to miss out on a vacation. Right now it’s my daily driver, but I have a 2014 F250 in the garage as a back up, so putting the Excursion in the shop for a few weeks isn’t an issue. Has anyone done work on their 6L? If so, what are the most important components to beef up? I plan on keeping the rig for a long rime and don’t mind putting money into it so I don’t have to worry about blowing an oil cooler at an inopportune time. Thanks in advance.

  12. Headed to a NM antelope hunt in a few weeks and need some recommendations on a bolt action, light weight rifle. I have a 30-06 I can use but looking for something in 6.5. Any thoughts? Thanks!
  13. They're getting healthy. The reason for the dramatic uptick is their announcement that they're converting to a corporation and leaving the MLP structure behind.
  14. Just picked up one of these: The Link Basically it's a 10/22 receiver modified with a biathlon style bolt action. It should be extremely quiet with a supressor and .22 subsonics. Can't wait to take it for a spin.
  15. Saw Isbell on Monday night. Great show and a fantastic talent. The live version of Cover Me Up was incredible.
  16. 4. OPEC has a huge unfunded liability problem (not unlike the US, but much less diversification) and needs higher oil prices to support an unproductive populace to remain in power. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. "Is it mule dick?"
  18. The fried pork chops are the best I've ever had.
  19. It's not bad, but super slow. It's great for little kids as all the tables are situated around a pond that has a ton of large goldfish in it.
  20. There are literally not enough puke emojis on this website... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  21. I believe you and I would get along well. Clase Azul Blanco is by far my go to sipping tequila, and I love the Don Julio Anejo with soda water and a dash of Simply Lime.
  22. EIA: Crude - (4.617) Gasoline - (1.116) Distillate - .537 Pretty good report.
  23. We're a few years away from having to make any huge decisions, but the good thing is that although my company is very small, we do have an office in Dallas, and if we need to move to a place with better care, I've been assured there will be no issues. My wife is a native Midlander and her folks are here, but as we get a better feel for what we're dealing with from a spectrum perspective, relocation is definitely an option for us. At this point, I'm fully on board with making sure our son has every opportunity to lead a productive and fulfilling life.
  24. Would love to help out if we can. We're in Midland, and would love to connect if you're willing.
  25. I'm assuming you're referring to the higher probability of leukemia and cancer in kids with DS. Anything else specifically we should worry about or screen for? Still very early in this journey, and really appreciate the response. I'm truly blessed to have an amazing wife, and we have a great relationship. So far, we've been able to handle all of the mental strain and stress without too much of a disruption to our daily lives. I know that all of that can change any time we visit the doc (referring to the above), but we're in a good place right now.
