Got it here. Looks like they switched to the Spanish braidcast for a few seconds before getting the regular one back up.

Seems like I just watched it a few months ago on HBO Max or some other streamer. It must have been removed. Sad day, that is one of my all time favorite older westerns, partly because I used to watch it with my grandad when I was little, but also just because it is a great movie.

I dunno. I can't count the number of times my wife has asked me "is it hot outside" mid afternoon on a sunny day at the end of July/beginning of August in Texas. So it should count for something.

I think the incident that @Jkwellbornwas referring to was the same one I was referring to. And yes, railcars roll incredibly silently. We still roll them down (we'll, I don't anymore) to loading spots manually. One man standing at the wheel brake on the front car trying to stop it at just the right position so that the loaders can reach all the compartments of the next one. Everyone in a while youtighten down on the brakes only to realize that the brakes don't work.

Our 15 month old starts dancing as soon as he hears the theme song come on. I had to get on to the oldest for skipping the intro last night. Let the little man dance.

The kids watched all 25 episodes on drop day. Last night the oldest picked her four favorites and "made" me watch them with her. All were excellent.

1) a guy got pinned in the buckle between two rail cars. They were able to get his wife out there to say goodbye, but they couldn't pull the cars apart without him immediately bleeding out, so he had to chill while his wife probably spent 20 minutes looking for her keys that were actually in her purse the whole time. 2) an empty hopper car came in to be washed and loaded, but there was something oozing out of the bottom. A few guys had tried to sneak across the border in it, but their escape rope broke and they were trapped inside and turned to soup in the Texas/Mexico sun.

There was also evidence that their Blue Angels equivalent group was being used for combat, which also says a lot.

Nice, but no shots of tractors towing tanks?

Dude, the tweet you posted said they were denied due to their skin color? I guess that's not racism now?

New episodes of Bluey out. I'm pretty sure the kids just binged all of them this morning.

Yep, I did this last year as well.

Next time ditch the manual screw drivers and just use a power drill.

Yep, we should all take a moment to remember that denazification has nothing to do with eliminating Nazis as we think of them and everything to do with eliminating those who they perceive to have betrayed them, or just enemies.

I thought the greater powers confirmed that nobody else was posting from the same IP address? Seems like we need some confirmation.

Remember, they hate the Nazis because they betrayed them, not because of what they stood for. They could care less about all the atrocities the Nazis committed. All they care about is that they betrayed them.

It was more mid 1800's when the Buffalo robe (plu bone and everything else eventually) trade really kicked off. The beaver trade started declining in the late 1830's, with the last rendezvous in 1840 I believe. Beaver was still being trapped, but fashions in Europe started drifting away from beaver hats and more towards silk hats, and at the same time there were more and more trading posts established on the frontier. During all this time, Europeans were trapping out the areas, but there were still plenty of natives trading for furs as well. As beaver fell out of favor in Europe, American immigrants were crossing the country, and buffaloes robes grew in demand. And it wasn't the French who were supplying them. It was mostly Anglo Europeans with a smattering of native help.

So is her axe supposed to be metal or stone? Because if it is metal, I'm not sure that there are any examples of axe heads like that in any historical records. If it was stone, it would have shattered in the first scene. Also, thats not how you sharpen a flint edge. Fun movie, but my interest in the period kind of makes some of these "little" things stand out. I will say I think they showed a decent job at showing the Comanches in a sort of transition period where they were just starting to aquire horses to become the tribe that we think of today, even if there was one scene with a clearly modern saddle that didn't exist for another 100 years minimum.

And if you are just running around town to get groceries and pick up/drop off kids from school and stuff you should use less gas than that as long as you plug it in.

True, but the feds like to have a very thorough air tight case before they make a move.

The HEB's in Monterrey are glorious. I highly recommend a road trip.

Finally caught up on the last couple of episodes. Like said, that was pretty much the perfect ending for the series, but if they can push out that kind of quality for another season or more I am in.

Gotta get out and clean up these two feeder pens. Probably going to cut the top foot or so off of them, as the deer never jumped the fence last season and we ended up just feeding raccoons and a few other varmints. Hopefully that will be enough and I won't have to buy more cattle panels to make the pens bigger, as they were almost twice the price last time I checked. We also have to move these two tripod stands. And build a base for this blind (also gotta add a funnel so we have somewhere to pee without opening the door). I was planning on fixing up an old feeder in this hay enclosure, planting a small food plot, patching up the fence, and adding a bypass gate, but the guy running cattle on our family land has already done most of that so he can store hay there, so I gotta talk to him and see where we can build him another one as I know the deer frequent this corner. All of that is going to involve a lot of manual labor, and it's just been so hot this year. We've had decent rain, but it will probably have to wait a month or so for it to cool down a bit and fingers crossed the deer won't care. This last picture captures pretty well what it feels like about now. We gotta put the work in now so he will have a place to grow up hunting.
