  1. We did a whirlwind of whale watching out of Antores, Mt Baker, North Cascades, Mt Rainer, Mt St Helens, Columbia Gorge, Newberry Natl Volcanic Monument, Crater Lake, Redwoods, and on up 101 back to Seattle. I liked Olymic best, any hike in the woods to a waterfall (so like a bunch), and beaches at low tide. My kids liked any hotel with a pool & waffle makers, and post-hike ice cream bribes. Dislikes: airlines, rental car companies.
  2. Guys... did you know the Seahawks logo is sort of native American art inspired? Lol. I literally had to be up here to figure that out.
  3. Mt Baker, Artist Point
  4. It was 58 this morning when we starting walking Rialto Beach, Olympic NP.
  5. Flying commercial with my family this week. One flight canceled so doing the flight rescheduling, rental car & hotel shuffle. Really drives home how awful non-revenue sports not flying charter would be in some of these far flung leagues.
  6. OP was definitely aware of his hole digging peer across the pond! I'll note e is another guy digging in what seems like just clay. We yanks are made of, and dig in, sterner stuff. As for purpose: I'll let yall know when I find it. It's probably just a little bit deeper.
  7. Just read Mesquite might increase min house size from 1500 to 2000. Lol. My austin burbs 4 bedroom is 1490 and it's fine.
  8. Didn't Bill Powers want the Big10? I'm sure TX and OU made an overture to the Big10 last year, just to kick the tires, right? I think Ioke the games in the SEC more, and I bet the BMD wanted SEC, but there was an academic argument for the Big10.
  9. They could have maybe done a centralized GOR without that GOR being assigned for a kajillion years. Then could have been up for new contract negotiations is 2024 dame as everyone else. It would have msde breach more possible, but I think some liquidated damage clauses would have helped. I guess in the end they did get what they wanted: stability. I don't think FSU, Clemson, etc get out of it. Even if somehow ESPN guaranteed equal payouts to existing teams, it would still be worth litigating for those left behind.
  10. Damn! Although I gotta say that despite the hardship of having considerably more rock than that dude has (and those Indonesian primitive technology guys), my hope is that my hole is somehow more long-lasting than a hole that is made in deep dirt/clay.
  11. I think the real move would be for the bigger names in the Hateful 8 and PAC remainder to just pull together their own 12 team league, and let the weak relegate as the league TV deals expire. So not PAC or Big12, but a wholly new 12 teamer that is the Best of the Rest.
  12. If PAC steals part of Big12 (if WA and OU are joined with little brother and stay), is there is a chance TCU and Baylor get screwed?
  13. The Border Conferece rises again!
  14. There is something about postholes that are utter agony for my back. For whatever reason this hole has been downright invigorating, far more fun than some of the postholes I've dug.
  15. Knocked down the sides. I think I got the one side a little deeper but didn't measure. New wheelbarrow. Fancy two wheel model.
  16. I'm up embiggening the size if the hole. Originally it's like 39x57 (so 30" + 2x 3.5" + 2x 1"; and 48" + 2x 3.5" + 2x 1"). Butninfigure I needed about another inch or so around. My idea is to pour some concrete down the edges once I get a set or two in. I figure it would help keep rain water from rushing in. Moved the pavers back a little.
  17. I built a ladder. Should last me a while. Not sure when I'll get down to past 8 or 9 ft. It's 28" wide so it can fit in the 30" narrow side of my eventual 4x2.5 clear set/lagging (so it doesn't collapse and kill me). I'll probably build the first set when I'm about 5 ft down and it's all widened out like I need it. Not eager to see the bill for that lumber and all thread concoction.
  18. What's the deal with his age? Just a genius?
  19. I tried leaving at 630am, but it was still hot as hell. Deepest point is 50 inches. I blew out the step I had left and getting out is now a hassle. Next time up I need to clean up the sides. I have been lazy and need to shave a couple inches off the long sides. Ten year old for scale.
  20. And fwiw, the Frio is still flowing through Garner, it just gets sucked dry by the time it gets to the Concan gauge. But it's less than it was in 2021 which was less than it was in 2020.
  21. We did Quince and Chalk Bluff this week. The improvements at Quince are amazing. Yes they charge now, but if it means less trash and future bathrooms, I'm all in. Water a lite low (obviously) but still flowing. Chalk Bluff is $15 per person but has a rope swing and all the modest volume conjunto you could ask for.
  22. Hypothetically, if I crapped my pants... crash landing on the lake might hide the evidence.
  23. I've heard that all my life. Just seems like that would be a reasonable thing to spend money on.
  24. Dead mouse in my 1550 gal rainwater capture tank at the ranch. I added a lot of unscented bleach but I don't know if I'll ever want to drink it.
  25. Yeah. I'll shore at 48" or so.
