Iirc they got heavy into bills in the 70’s, family and friends as crew. The old man is almost 80 now, so yeah he’s not captaining the boat anymore, or hunting bills in the gulf for that matter. They’ve downsized their SF (to a smaller one) and chase pelagics down in Mexico and CR now. For many years it wasn’t uncommon to have 2-3 captains from that family tree running boats fishing the big tournaments here (Poco, legends, TIFT) at any given time. Salty, salty family on both sides.

I took the kids CR50 around our green belt for about an hour a couple of nights ago. I forgot how relaxing it can be even when poking around at relatively low speeds. I need a dual sport.

No money for a razor, either.

Did shoulder a few months ago. I fell asleep for what felt like hours.

Gritty’d

This is someone who easily has triple digit sails, and they probably getting close on blues. Grew up fishing the Marlin tournaments. It’s (big) blues or bust for them, for whatever reason. I always personally loved them. And tuna. And trout.

Don’t think sails are as bad, and the light gear helps. Have a buddy that fishes down there 1-2x a year and they’ve had a couple 35+ days over the last few trips. Unreal. Thing is, sails no longer do it for them. Which would suck imo.

Unarmed?

lol wut.

Hiding cash under your shoe in a clear box, huh? That looks great. Following because full closet is in my list. But I don’t have the talents for this. If wife would let me weld something up, I’d be in business.

It’s pretty easy to know who to bend your ear for in regards to economics, engineering, and even what’s trending on TikTok. Posts actually reported?

We were in same boat. Damn, didn’t realize how bad we missed it. Guess I might get a reunion trip to Oz in a few years.

Burying transmission lines has been about 70% of our work over last 5 years or so. It’s very, very expensive.

Yes, I understand very well the difference between transmission and distribution. Your post references neither, only that infrastructure isn’t valued because losses to shareholders. Which patently (and anecdotally in this case) is false.

I used to manage an engineer that was great at engineering, but couldn’t take the stress that comes with the projects we’d execute. He worked at HEB thru college, and was assistant manager or something similar when he left. He wanted to go back so bad. I often wonder if he ever just said fuck it, I’ll take the cut and returned after I left.

Theres been North Houston pole trucks putting up new poles everywhere you look in a 75 mile radius outside Houston for the last 18 months. Replacing wooden poles with the brown painted metal shit. Probably so they can decrease profitability, right.

That’s what I was thinking. Medicine ball would be a bitch on my 40 yo shoulders, though. Didn’t think I’d be over weight, username blah blah. I’m pretty well past the weight (~20#) but the physical wouldn’t be an issue. Even if he wasn’t mentally insufficient, not a chance short and fat Rittenhouse makes those weights.

Used to go by there on lunch breaks every 3 weeks or so. You can handle some really cool stuff. They aren’t just high on the rare stuff, they’re higher than giraffe pussy on everything. Lots of it WELL used and beat to shit, too. Must be doing something right though, they’ve got ALOT of inventory.

I’ve never trusted those. I get it, garage storage is sweet. But there’s better ways.

How many miles have you racked up now? Hoping my hand isn’t being forced into moving into something new, trans doing something electrically funky. Going to replace internal harness and shift solenoids next week and if that doesn’t do it, probably going to just call it so wife will get off my ass. Nearly trouble free for 16 years but little things been tricking lately, and now electrical. Fuck electrical gremlins.

Yes, I don’t have an issue with what Hobbes or yourself, or what I sometimes do. I’m just relaying what was reported by the woman on the show. I listened to the entire segment a day or two before this thread started. They were phrasing it as all kids are out more, which I wouldn’t necessarily believe is true. But the kids that are missing 20-25% of the year, and in larger numbers, are apparently causing issues as they are trying to “keep them up” with the rest of the class. I’ve got several kids in elementary and middle school, but haven’t really noticed any of this (granted oldest is in all honors/advanced courses). What I have noticed with one of our elementary students, is that both of her teachers seemed to “check out” within the first month or so. My daughter reports one of her classes (split day) is very unruly, and the other is fine. We have to work with her considerably more in the subjects where the class is unruly. It was an interesting segment, as they went into the demographics (income, race, area, etc) pretty well and while there were subtle differences, there’s a common issue somewhere. Didn’t like how they picked on the “rich kids” that go skiing etc or the “poor kids” who have to work a factory job or whatever they were selling for a bit, but overall a well done segment.

The woman that was reporting all of this on the radio the other day specifically spoke to this. It’s not because of one child. But she specifically said that the curriculum is slowed for everyone because of the kids that can’t keep up, and they are covering incrementally less material each year.

RIP

I don’t remember it being difficult to fuck tri-delts at all. Might be skewed though, seems like the only soro girls I knew were all delts. Wouldn’t categorize any of them as ice queens, but that wasn’t my scene so maybe they are.

No shit. I’ve been hunting a good project cart for awhile now.
