  1. Maybe I had the wrong takeaway from that article... but is roughly $100k plus some spending money a decent target to shoot for re college savings? Thats... not as bad as I have been afraid of. Since this thread is also about baring your soul, or at least the fruit of one's gonads... One daughter (13) who has a legit shot at top 6% at a notorious public hs crucible. If she doesn't get auto admit, she'll probably have great scores, APs, IB, etc. I will encourage her to go out of state, to avoid regressive abortion politics. Sorry, not sorry. Son is 11, smart and will study, but not the perfection seeker his sister is. So he won't make top 6%, but with his charm and manner will probably make more money and be naturally be hapoy wherever he lands. He'll probably end up and Tech or whatever. I bet he'll enjoy a school with div1 athletics to watch and a weekend party scene.

  3. Lemons into lemonade... sometimes dealerships sell off inventory at steep discounts after hail, right? I'd be in the market for a truck that got hit by the ugly stick if it mechanically is new. I try to be a drive til it falls apart type owner.
  4. I've heard before many enlisted don't give a shit about some letter-of-reference-from-my-Senator-having officers team. But I've also heard otherwise. I myself come from a long line of cowards and deferments, so I don't rightly know.
  5. Anyone else notice a lot of "actually FIRE people are miserable" articles recently? I'm not particularly conspiracy minded... but its almost like there is a concerted effort in business press to discourage that kind of thing.
  6. Colt owns the Dunkin Donuts at 183 and Pavillion, and the remodel is great. He could work the drive through. I bet he'd even give me extra napkins.
  7. Opposing fans... stick with the horns down and stfu
  8. I mostly watch NFL on mute. But jeez, how bad does Romo suck now? He was good first year... early onset dementia? Maybe he just is lazy? Or he sucks when he isn't cribbing from pre-game conversations with coaches?
  9. NIL OL and DL boosters, take a bow
  10. OU lost, but Lebby/Briles drama is a bad look...
  11. Don't sleep on last weeks putting a player back in the game after being knocked the fuck out.
  12. Keeping score: Texas - 13 Alabama - 3 Honey Pepper Pimento Sandwich - 24
  13. I feel like an asshole asking... but with wegovy hype do you regret doing the surgery and not waiting for semaglutide?
  14. Trader Joe jerk plantain chips are very good.
  15. It would be incredibly easy to pull together a database whereby defense attorneys or the public could document instances of police getting caught fibbing in official statements or testimony. A local cop wikileaks, basically. All of which could he used to impugn any particular cop so documented as being external evidence that goes to a cops credibility. But I don't have the guts to do that - that's a great way to get framed up and have your life ruined.
  16. I think I dug about 8 buckets, but I have a new place to put the dirt I'm moving. Weather turning enough to stay overnight amd work at dusk and again the next morning. Current pile: New ramp. I figure I can make it tailgate high. Shallow side getting there:
  17. I find it helpful to have a deep hole, just in case.
  18. Did you know Townes Van Zandt wrote The Rut in 1968 and it was an unreleased b-side off of Our Mother the Mountain?
  19. Since the property is > 10ac, I told my wife to just declare it a private cemetery and move on. See Health and Safety Code 711.008
  20. I'm about 8 ft deep. Nine on one side. Too hot to dig much this summer. I should be able to put the the next 4 ft of lagging/set in this fall. I've cut the 4x6s and the 4x4s, but not the 2x sides yet. Then downward to 12, and so on. I figure 4-6 ft a year is a good pace
  21. Thanks for the input! I was looking to JD because a dealer is 8 miles down the road. But i think the Ford dealer in town also sells Kawasaki. I'm generally okay with 2WD. If the ranch is so soggy I need 4wd, then I'm probably not up there anyway. My truck is 2wd, and I'd probably park the UTV up at the cabin which is damn jear a quarter mile from the county road. But... if the delra to 4WD is not too much, I'll consider it.
  22. Pondering buying a John deere gator tx. I like that it doesn't go more than 20mph, since I'm sure my kids will drive it fairly often.
  23. it's been hot. Down at the bottom its... sligjky less hot? Anyway, not much progress between the heat and vacations. Some friends: Some unwelcome friends: Some very unwelcome friends: Not sure what kind of snake. I choose to believe coachwhip or rat snake. I put down some foam tape to better seal the top, and realized the two short sides had a bug gap. Ate 2 cans of foam and need more. I think I will drill holes and do foam all across the top.
  24. Is this the thread to discuss the Turnpike Troubadours new album? First two released tracks are alright, but I'm just glad they are back together touring and recording.
  25. Here is a pup abandoned by its mother because of fireworks on the beach, Lincoln City. Did mom ever come back? I don't know. I hear this pup was seen last week turning tricks for bits of Mo's fish & chips in Newport.
