  1. If you lose money investing in bullshit peddled by an online "Alpha Male" influencer, you deserve absolutely zero sympathy.
  2. Hah. This dude just pled guilty to running a Ponzi Scheme. He's a giant douche from Utah that called himself "The Bull."
  3. Do your important work, get some exercise, and go to bed at a decent time tonight and tomorrow. NAPE approaches on Wednesday.
  4. I hear that. I drank a total of 3 times this month, the last time being 2 Saturdays ago. Thought about maybe having a couple Mexican beers with the fajitas we were having for dinner tonight. Even bought a sixer on the way home from work, but just never got around to opening one. I've got the rest of the weekend to imbibe, so didn't feel like cheating again with just a few hours of January remaining. Besides, going to bed after having 3 or 4 beers tonight would likely just make me wake up at some point around 3 am and take forever to fall back asleep. Tomorrow is a different story though.
  5. Oh yeah, also gonna hang up my Euro mount that I just got back from the buck I shot back in November. Will be the first mount killed by a current member of the lease to hang in the cabin.
  6. Gorgeous weather on tap this weekend, so I'm gonna run up to my lease tomorrow to get out of the city and enjoy some time in the great outdoors. Need to check on everything at the camphouse after the big freeze and then do some random off-season chores like turning off feeders and shit. Also gonna go drive around to some of the less seldom visited parts of the property and see if I can scout any potential spots for a new stand. End the day with some beers by the fire after a 95% Dry January.
  7. Didn't have time this Fall to get around to Veilguard, but it is already going for fire sale pricing. Gamestop just dropped the price to $25, so I think I'm gonna go ahead and grab it for next time I need a game to sink some time. Apparently it undersold expectations by close to 2 million. Bioware is reportedly slashing their headcount down to just a core team working on Mass Effect 5. If it's not a big hit, the studio probably goes tits up. Such a shame.
  8. Highs in the 70's starting tomorrow. Supposed to hit high 70's Tuesday-Thursday before finally cooling back down to mid-60's next weekend.
  9. Rain tomorrow then looks like a damn near perfect weekend ahead. Usually we get the opposite.
  10. Started the month at 211 after holiday binge, and currently at 204, which is kinda weird to me that that's a number I'm fine with, but so much more of it is muscle than it used to be. At my height and build, before I started working out a few years ago, if I was anywhere close to 200 lbs, that meant I was getting pretty damn fat. Now despite being "big," I'm getting close to dropping from a 34 to a 33 waist. Still would like to shed a few more body fat % and eventually get down to around 195 or so, but I really don't have any ambition to try and get back into the 180's. All that said, after working a ton this month, both at my job and in the gym, and barely drinking at all since New Years, here's going to be me on Saturday:
  11. Gonna be a good year. Of course anything would be good compared to last year's crawfish season. Some of the markets down on the coast are already selling live crawfish. Boyd's in Texas City is currently at $4.88/lb. At this rate I'm thinking an early March crawfish boil might be in the cards. Need to text my guy soon and find out when he's planning to start making his Saturday morning runs over to Louisiana to load up his big refrigerated truck.
  12. Looks like we're covering $5.5M of the $14M owed to Pressly this season, so that frees up just $8.5M.
  13. Final week of January boys. Time to finish strong.
  14. Been really nice the past 2 days post freeze, but looks like Winter Monsoon Season starts late tomorrow night. Steady rain in the forecast through next Friday.
  15. In my experience, while folks in O&G tend to be pretty conservative, there seems to be a good amount that are more "Normie Republican" and not necessarily big fans of Trump. A lot depends on what specific O&G job you have, where you live, where you went to school...etc. A land broker from Louisiana or a rig-hand in the Permian is way more likely to be MAGA than a Houston finance guy that went to UT undergrad or a title attorney that went to law school at UH. I know plenty of people on the professional side of the industry that are centrist Dems or even borderline leftists.
  16. Pleased to report I've been putting in work since this post. Have been in the gym probably 13/16 days since then and have built back up to doing the heaviest reps I've ever done at any point since I first started exercising again back in March 2022. Had my 2 scheduled cheat nights the past 2 Saturdays (buddy's annual birthday sushi dinner and company party, respectively), so should finish the month having drank only ~4/31 days.
  17. Was down about 1% until noon and then rocketed up 6% in the next hour. From my exhaustive research (i. e. searching tweets for "nat gas") it looks like the 12z Euro weather model that came out mid-day was on the very cold side in regards to this upcoming arctic blast. Also, there was a very large inventory drawdown reported for last week. 13th largest weekly drawdown of all time, to be exact. Lot of predictions that next week's report of this week's drawdown will be in the Top 5.
  18. Nevermind. One of the other guys shut everything off right before the last freeze 2 weeks ago. Nobody has been back since, so no trip necessary.
  19. Welp, wasn't planning to head to the lease this weekend, but with the hard freeze coming up on Monday, looks like I gotta make a trip after work tomorrow so that I can shut off the water and drain everything so we don't end up with busted plumbing in the camp house. Was hoping somebody else was bringing their kids for final youth weekend, but doesn't sound like it, and since I'm "lease manager" for our group, I drew short straw. Ehh, could be worse, it's only a 2 hour drive, and I'll have a nice quiet evening to myself out by the fire.
  20. I was a KA at TXST years later and remember seeing Bill's picture on old composite photos at the house and hearing about his death. There's a scholarship in his name that is still awarded every year.
  21. Smoking literally anywhere and everywhere.
