  1. Unless there's a way to barge it, it's going to go over road or rail. Those towers are too large for rail, even if they did want to deal with the +/- 6 week schedule the rail offers you. Having done (and hated) doing heavy haul for a living for a spell, I can tell you that the rail roads were far and away the most difficult of all entities to deal with. They largely give 0 fucks about what you need to do to cross their tracks (typically removal of the arms/fixed overhead lights), charge out the ass to move them (think 15-20k for a 2 man crew to come swing them in for you to pass in 10 mins, then swing them back) and will try and push railpro's on you at any opportunity. So unless you are with one of the premier heavy haul outfits, most of those guys just do what they need to do as far as the RR crossings go. The only attentive one I ever got was on a haul south of Atlanta out in the middle of nowhere, out of dozens of interactions with several lines. Those towers dont sit on shelves, @CycleTex87 nailed it, someone going to have a lonely foundation on a site somewhere.
  2. Lol. I don't believe that any politicians outside of a few of the congress critters gaf about the 2nd, especially Trump. Their purported support for it is largely just campaign rhetoric. But I'll take someone who'll lie about their support over someone who is openly against the 2nd any day of the week. At least they'd have to squirm if it ever went down.
  3. Couldnt edit. Appears we are talking about the same place. It's loaded with monied Cuban women drinking wine in the middle of the day, every time I've been.
  4. There's a place similar right off 1 in coco grove. I'm doing my weekly visit later this week and have to check this out. Also, this.
  5. Your entire plan is building a bigger and better free shit army? Even don't have a pot to piss in poor people don't want to be associated with poor people. Piss poor rural red voters out front should have told you.
  6. No one here loves everything the side they vote for does. But if you chose a side, then yes you may or may not be shouted down, called names, and ridiculed from the board. Last 8 years of CR out front should have told you.
  7. Don't think its a problem kissing where he was, though.
  8. I don’t know, maroon carrots and false claims of turning mercury to gold are rather substantial achievements.
  9. This drives a lot of it. But I’ve yet to meet a Rice grad that wasn’t doing very well.
  10. Here’s another way to look at it. There’s two I’d love for my kids to attend. There’s a third where I’d rather them become a fucking lawn technician than attend.
  11. I can think of a few parts I’ve detailed in my head since the first day I picked it up…
  12. I’ve had real good luck with my pens. But those fuckers have tried for sure.
  13. Fwd:fwd:fwd: litter boxes in classrooms. This is the version for the other side.
  14. Not a chance that’s correct. Doubtful 16% of Texas pubs like Cruz.
  15. If it doesn’t I’m out.
  16. Damn that’s nice. Wife would not be amused though.
  17. Ha. Some of y’all called it. Well done.
  18. That was going to be my recommendation. But the prices are crazy for last couple years. More than I’d pay anyhow. I’ve been looking at building a rem 7 300BO for awhile but can’t wrap my head around the prices.
  19. This is the difference between having conversations and “conversing” on the internet. Much more difficult to call someone a Nazi or fascist to their face, when your chiclets may get knocked out for it.
  20. I bought my oldest daughter a 243 model 7 with really nice stock on it, a unicorn by Rem standards. I bought it when she was very young and then fell in love with it - it drives tacks with the smaller pills. It’s way too nice for a kid so she’ll get it when she gets older, and the little Ruger 300BO will have to do until then. But I loved that little 243 so much I bought early 50’s Flaigs Sako that had been fitted with a beautiful stock and a heavy Douglas barrel. It loves ammo more sized towards deer and it’s difficult to leave in the safe when I head to the ranch. 243 is such a great round for Texas.
  21. 7 mins. 2 open booths when I walked in, line of 10-12 people waiting when I walked out. Easy peasy.
  22. Amazing BYU still has the absolute worst posters. Just fucking uncanny.
  23. 6.5CM gets a lot of shit because there’s ALOT of people that set the feeder between 75 and 100yds on the dot. For quite a while, they commonly available bullet choices didn’t really perform at that speed/distance. Not the calibers fault, but it got a lot of shit ie:Bleedmore. Add on top of that crowd made crossfitters and vegans seem downright humble and there you go. Made for some fantastic memes though. I was largely joking, and if I didn’t mostly cut myself off in a quest for a Pgun I’d have already acquired one of those new .22CM’s. But yeah Roy isn’t rolling over his his grave over it. Now off to spend $100 on this seasons box of shells
  24. I’m pretty sure he locks his up, if for nothing else, there’s a value calculation to consider. Safe storage laws should be the first and unbelievably easy layup for bipartisan legislation to get everyone talking sensibly. Hell, find a way to give some incentives to ease people along. Metered give and take could go so far. Safe storage laws wouldn’t move death figures in a massive way, but would absolutely help. These parents are (likely) going to feel guilt for the rest of their lives.
