  1. I wasn't aware that dogs could be foreign exchange students. I guess even pets want to go to our obedience schools.
  2. A true megalomaniac would deny he is a megalomaniac.
  3. Since you didn't throw a "(no pics)" into your post, I believe Surly bylaws require you to furnish one.
  4. I have a few boxes of their ammo in my safe. On one hand, I wish I had more, as every box could be ammo that they might have for their troops, but on the other hand, that ammo provided them with with money to wage this war and they probably wouldn't have made as much if not for the American market. Biden (not trying to get cloaks here, just stating actual facts) put sanctions on on imports of Russian ammo for poisoning foreign folks or something like that, which was something he had the authority to do under some act or somesuch. It didn't sit well with a lot of folks because Russian ammo has usually been the cheapest plinking ammo out there and they felt like it was just a way for him to attack gun owners. I wonder if there was any intel about Putler's plans that actually influenced that decision.
  5. Is the timber planted or just natural growth? How old is it? What is the density? If it is pretty young, you won't see much for a while. If it is just natural woods, it may or may not be worth much depending on the the density, size, and species composition. If it is mature, or nearly mature plantation pine it could make a significant difference.
  6. I hope they paint a little tiny drone on the side of the victor.
  7. Yeah, but the monthly nut was calculated when their other household costs were much cheaper. If they stretched themselves out because housing prices were too high then they may not have much choice. And if interest rates keep people from buying at a price that will cover the loan, then the bank gets the house back and we end up with a bit of a foreclosure crises. That could have a cascading effect on home values, especially in areas where they rose for no real reason.
  8. The numbers of big TVs stacked up around some stores is pretty impressive. It will be a good time to upgrade here soon.
  9. I would also look into either getting the mill to cut you some boards out of your own trees or finding a small one man sawmill type operation to cut a few up for you. That way when you build a cabin you can use some of the wood from your own property for some of the stuff in there. We had a small one man operation cut up some walnut off our place for something like $50 or $60 a tree a few years ago. Still have a bit of I stacked up in the barn awaiting projects.
  10. I would think downstream would be more stable, if a little less lucrative. We will always need plastics, and whether or not they are made from petroleum products, molecular recycling, or some new sustainable technology, we will always need folks who know how to make them and develop better ones.
  11. I'm surprised prices would still be that low there. Two years ago that would have been a $250,000ish house here in East Texas, but now they would be asking about tree fiddy, for no reason other than prices have increased elsewhere where there are actual legitimate reasons for the increase. I don't see those prices being sustainable for non big cities, as there is no fundamental reason for the shift. If we see stagflation I think there will be a lot of homes for sell for significant discounts outside of larger markets when all the people who had to stretch to buy at inflated prices really start to feel the pain. I'm not sure the statistics about housing inventory are really applicable for much of the country.
  12. If you have a good place that's big enough and no issues with poaching or anything like that the pressure between bow season and rifle season shouldn't really be much different. A smaller place with non like minded neighbors? Big difference. Do the yearlings not still hang around their mothers where y'all are? Around here you often see a doe with both her fawns and yearlings. Occasionally you see a lone yearling, but mostly it's 2.5 year Olds and up when it comes to solo bucks.
  13. They attack rudders on sail boats. I'd say leaving a sailboat rudderless in the open sea counts as an attack on humans.
  14. I wonder if making a salt lick type area would help out in that type of situation.
  15. Same here, and embedded tweets are disappearing right after they load. They load, then turn into a small add banner, and then disappear.
  16. Just because it it a high fence place doesn't mean you have a sure kill if you are trying to go after a specific buck. You will probably find one you like in the range you like if you aren't trying to get a particular buck, but I know of instances where nobody was able to kill specific bucks the whole season when they were only in a 50 acre pasture/pen. It's not really for me, though. Even most high fence places that don't have breeding programs or release bred deer are going to have a significantly higher concentration of deer than the surrounding area, which kinda takes some of the enjoyment out of killing a nice buck.
  17. Things didn't go well for the Tories after the American Revolution. I imagine it will be much the same.
  18. But not your eardrums.
  19. How does one "accidentally" overstay one's visa in Russia of all places? I feel like a ton is probably an insignificant amount when you are in the business he is in.
  20. A few tanning beds would have done a number on those orcs and revealed the ones who were merely dressed up to boot. Benjamin Franklin, you were our only hope.
  21. I graduated in 2009 with a degree in Forestry. It took me a year and a half just to get a job that paid over $10/hr. I should have just gone back to school to get a degree in engineering.
  22. The rear differential should even it out... right?
  23. Cat 6: Gatorcane
  24. Why do y'all think Russia would blow the pipeline for some outside reason? They do stuff like this so they can claim somebody else did to get their own population to support the war. Especially with the protests about mobilization going on right now. They don't care what we think or how it affects us. They only care what Russians think about the pipeline that US Nazi NATO terrorist blew up.
