  1. The last two episodes have been very good, and I enjoyed the double episode arc before them as well. Hopefully it keeps on in this direction.
  2. Based on what we've seen so far, she could still just tilt her helmet back and do the deed. Do you think Mando wants a beej from some no helmet wearing Mandalorian?
  3. Well, that was probably supposed to be mid season originally. I guess they just decided not to add any filler episodes in there and just cut to the chase.
  4. I tried to pay for something in Pesos there and it took them a while to figure out how much to charge. Edut: was replying to the post about Boquillas.
  5. Do they have full banjercitos offices at those places? We've always crossed at Laredo and have just gotten our driving permits after crossing the last couple times. Do they cancel them 24 hours a day there as well?
  6. Google is pretty terrible when trying to look for obscure stuff as well. If you type in a specific search term, they include results for other similar but not as specific things and you have to wade through a bunch of crap to find what you are looking for. DuckDuckGo is better in many cases, but isn't as good for more common type searches.
  7. My wife is first generation, but my most recent immigrant ancestors that I've found got here about 200 years ago. Going from one family Holliday get together to the other has to be like culture shock for the kids, but I guess it is normal to them.
  8. Yeah, the Winchester 73's brass carrier block doesn't like cartridges that are different lengths, but it is also one of the main things that makes the action so smooth and sweet feeling so you gotta take the bad with the good.
  9. Seems like they are following the Clone Wars model and just throwing a bunch of filler episodes in before showing us the good stuff. Hopefully some of it pays off like he space whales.
  10. I could use some .357 right now, bit I don't know that I need that much. My Winchester 73 will jam up if you load the magazine up with .38 special and you end up having to pull the end cap off to empty it and unjam the rifle.
  11. Just rent a small RV a few times. It'll be much more comfortable and so much easier to set up. It also sounds more your style. Don't buy canvas unless you plan on week plus Elk hunts or going to rendezvous.
  12. If you have irrigation on a clean enough patch and put in the work to get it protein tested and all that stuff you can sell square bales to barrel racers for a lot of money. But that requires a pretty decent capital expenditure and a lot of work to keep it clean.
  13. No, their equipment is shit and always has been. Just because Ukraine fought them with the same stuff initially doesn't mean it wasn't shit.
  14. It's the hammer you gotta watch out for. I was knocking some nails out of some recovered oak boards from my grandfather's old horse stalls after a tornado picked the barn up and set it upside down 100 yards away a few years ago when my oldest was about that age. Like yours, she was always singing. "The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout" BAM! She hit me hard in the back of the head with the little hammer I had given her to mess around with. I yelled her name loud enough that Mom came out of the house to see what was going on and she wouldn't touch a hammer for like a year after that.
  15. Maybe we should start sending anyone who still doesn't know how to paste as plain text to the Hague. Except the part where he said the Russian equipment was good, but not great.
  16. When our youngest two were nearly four and one we went on a month long camping trip across the western US. We had a Nissan NV 3500 passenger van with a roof top tent and a set up that I made with a full size bed in the back that could be converted to couches along the back with a table in the center. The whole setup was just high enough that you could slide extra long milk crates below it, so everybody had a milk crate for their clothes and stuff, we had one for shoes and stuff, and one for camp kitchen stuff, etc. Once we got our rig ready, we headed west without any set plan (this was right when everything was starting to shut down due to covid). We went where we felt like going and didn't have to hold ourselves to any sort of schedule. It was one of the best experiences of my life. Kids will adapt to anything you throw at them. The question is more about if you can do what you have to do to make it work.
  17. With the real estate market like it is right now it isn't likely. To make it work, you would need to find a pretty good sized stretch of pasture land in somewhere like East Texas that doesn't get the drought pressure that the rest of the state does for something like under $2500 per acre. Then you have equipment costs. You'd have to find 50 year old tractors in good working order to basic stuff, as well as implements. You'd also need to run a pretty intensive program that involves stuff like rotational grazing (putting up extra fences) and a terminal F2 hybrid system that requires maintenance of two different herds of cattle. Also, the price of cattle, of which you have none, has to be favorable enough to turn a profit.
  18. So, which is worse, being described as an 18 year old girlfriend of an old MF, or being described as his sugar baby?
  19. One thing to keep in mind is ease of use. Look for a tent that is easy and quick to set up and isn't too bulky. You want to have room for plenty of other gear as well. Also, don't get something that is too big or you might have trouble finding a site with a big enough tent pad to set it up. A collapsible rake is good to have for clearing leaves and sticks from your tent pad before setting up, and maybe a ground tarp to help protect the bottom of the tent from getting holes from the inevitable roots or rocks that you can't clear out from an area that will fit a bigger tent. With young kids you will probably want a cabin type tent that has near vertical walls so that you can stand up close to the edges.
  20. We talking Catholic vegetarians or Protestant vegetarians?
  21. Biden made me proud to be an American yesterday. But I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit disappointed he didn't roll off the train in his corvette with an ATACM slung across the trunk.
  22. How many folks do you have in your family and what ages? We have a Coleman Weathermaster 6 That was great when we only had two kids. The screened porch area is nice if you get swarmed by bugs or if the weather is wet. We haven't used it since we had our third kid and bought a small pop up, so I can't really comment on how it works with more than two small kids. One thing I would look for for a tent in Texas is good ventilation. If you go to Big Bend over spring break you need something that you can either zip up tight or open up wide depending on what the weather does. But really you should pay more attention to whatever you intend to sleep on and in than your tent. A cold night on a cheap air mattress is miserable no matter what tent you have. A cold night on a good sleeping pad with a decent sleep system and even the cheapest tent won't phase you.
