  1. I usually strongly on the side of the unions in these situations, but "No automation at all, ever. We want guarantees that our jobs will always exist exactly as they are" is not a particularly sympathetic asking point. And having the Union Chief sitting there in his gold chains sounding like a guy in a bad mafia movie talking about shutting down the entire country is less than endearing.
  2. Hess CEO gets the Sheffield treatment. Will not be allowed to join the CVX board in order for the merger to proceed.
  3. Significantly warmer than average temps this week to start October. Average high/low for this week is 88/66. We're gonna be ~94/72 for a good chunk of the week. Next weak front looks to arrive late weekend. Daytime highs next week look to stay elevated in the low 90's, but lows should get back to the low to mid 60's. TL;DR: At least 2 more weeks of highs in the 90's. Little chance of rain any time soon.
  4. Would get me too. They a tribute to Def Leppard?
  5. Successful trip. Rang up a 2-for-1 special Saturday evening. 1 shot, 2 pigs down. Can't say I was trying to do so, but there were about 8 or 9 of them packed in very tight under the feeder so not terribly surprising. Spent Sunday morning doing a bunch of work at another stand. Cleared out a ton of brush and set up a new camera at the feeder. Already started getting pics last night around 8 of a big group of hogs. Fuckers are everywhere out there.
  6. New album from Black Dahlia Murder, first since Trevor died. Good shit. Brandon Ellis might be the most technically proficient shredder in death metal.
  7. Looks like refinancing applications have really started to pick up, but purchase applications are still dragging ass. Makes sense, IMO. People who had no choice but to buy at 7.5% or 8% can currently do better. A lot of prospective buyers probably waiting to at least get back closer to 5.5% or so.
  8. Getting hot again next week, but at least the lows stay in comfortable territory. Highs of 94/96/94 Mon-Wed, but humidity stays at 50% or less, so it won't be miserable.
  9. Core PCE 2.7% YOY, running at 2.1% over last 3 months. Headline PCE is down to 2.2% YOY.
  10. Man, this front rolled in just in time for a quick trip to the lease on Saturday. Should be damn nice for it still being September. Hoping to head back to camp that evening with at least one less hog drawing breath and then sit out by the firepit. Before I leave, gotta go do some repair work and mowing at one of the feeders and set up a new game camera I bought recently. Will be nice to get out there in the morning when it's still barely 70 and not just be totally drenched in sweat the whole time.
  11. Let's all not forget that ZH is owned by a former member of the Soviet-aligned Bulgarian Communist Party. He also runs a similar website in Bulgaria that frequently pushes conspiracy theories, anti-semitism, anti-LGBT, pro-Russia/anti-Ukrainian crap. Sound familiar? "Tyler Durden" is essentially his son, who is the primary editor of the site, which is pretty much his full time job, because he got barred by FINRA for insider trading and lost his career in investment banking.
  12. I don't quite think the low 80's call for that yet.
  13. Front finally made its way down to Houston in the wee hours of the morning. Heat index was still in the high 80's at 10 pm last night. Much nicer this morning. Humidity should really start dropping as the day goes on. Tomorrow should be even better.

  15. Kirby Ice House coming to the hood? One of the posters on HAIF found a plan review permit filed on Monday for Kirby Ice House at 1421 N Loop West. That's the old Chase Bank drive through on the feeder road by Lowes. 3.5 acre lot per the listing.
  16. Cant' wait to see tomorrow's hangover lineup. Whitcomb, Kessinger, Salazar all should be starting Let Kikuchi toss a few innings just to stay on schedule and then have Dubin/Ferguson/Ort/King eat the rest.
  17. Mariners have mastered the art of hanging on for dear life the final 2 weeks of the season and making things interesting.
  18. Still in a decent position to win the division even if we were to drop this one tonight and get swept tomorrow. Would need 1 win vs. CLE and 1 M loss or 2 wins vs. CLE.
