  1. It's not for everyone I know. My love for simplicity is based on always being able to work on it, I truly love and enjoy that (see muscle car thread.) Then again most people don't keep vehicles for 10+ years either. I get it. 16 years on mine right now and just put $$ into it for first time about 6 months ago (never been in an actual shop). I’m thinking in another few years maybe I’ll have wrapped my head around 80k trucks. Probably not.
  2. Ford and Dodge own the death wobble. It’s been going on for 20 years. They all have something that will piss you off and shouldnt have to deal with for the 55-110k price tag. Will add to my complaint about seats earlier, the Fords seats do cool better than the GMs imo. At least better than my wife’s.
  3. That’s where we are. We’ve had good to great quail over the last decade. This year has me a bit nervous. Saw some early, not much lately.
  4. Ha. Familiar story. The guys next to us aren’t that, though they do have some decent buggy’s and are “well to do”. But our ranch manager works with another group that leases up 100k acres and they are that. They don’t drive down, but you know they are there because there’s 3x the normal amount of jets when you pass by the airport. One of them tossed him a really nice dog once because she wasn’t performing and “he had 20k in her and that was enough”. Our mgr said that dog hunts like nothing he’s had before. Big boy sport.
  5. ‘21 KR 250. Just too thin on bottom for me. Probably will still make the move to one on next truck, just something I was surprised by when I got some real seat time. Both Ford and GM have gone to thinner seats. My wife’s Denali has thinner seats than the previous one.
  6. Plenty in South Texas, too. The place next to us is predominately quail hunters, who’s kids shoot a nice buck or two each season. But they are really there for the quail; awesome buggy’s, dogs, and all.
  7. I was exact opposite. Ford seats feel like airline seats to me. @Spur08 drive them all. No one makes a “bad” truck anymore.
  8. No shit. Now that we’ve covered back to the 70’s, what’s new.
  9. Sir, I believe net, they are saving 3mm/yr net, and net net net. I read it on txaggy.
  10. Oh I’d bet they are spending it. Just not getting their money’s worth. Shocking, I know. There is no other reason for these Duke guys to be slow playing them.
  11. It’s really worked out for him and his…9 catches or whatever the fuck over the last 2 seasons.
  12. Yeah, the walk up the ladder on the 12’ is something. Actually, the only complaint I have in the entire deal is I wish they had made the ladder 6” wider. Contrary to my username, I am not (mostly not) a fat ass, but the narrow ladder hangs my backpack, etc. Feel like I’m in a squeeze chute. I took mine down off of 4’ wood legs, assembled, and raised it back up on the 12’ stand mid October, solo. It was..an undertaking. Almost posted pics here when I did it, but was too damn exhausted. Enjoy it, great blind. We are flat as a pancake where I am too, I think I can damn near see Kingsville from the blind now.
  13. It’s more niche than .357Sig imo, although both certainly qualify. I’ve got the Sig, need to add a 5.7 at some point.
  14. No, I don’t know anyone that falls into this particular category. I also don’t really care if someone wants to 86 their baby. The law we had was fine by me; Clinton had it right. Doesn’t change my statement about its effect on the state in any capacity.
  15. What setup did you get. I’ve been rocking the 5x7 on 12’ stand. First owner didn’t anchor it and it fell. I bought it for 20% of retail, took it completely apart and rebuilt it all, and it has been a great blind. Comfortable, dry, insect proof, etc. 5x9 or 7x10 on a 15’ would be a lifetime blind for me, but wife ain’t playing that shit.
  16. Eh, it’s more of a nuisance than anything. The rep is typically returned on the hobbies board in the same day.
  17. Any of you Civil/ME/construction guys know a good project engineer/project manager that needs work? Wrong time of year for it, but I’ve got one that isn’t working out and we’re past time for a change. Houston area.
  18. The law that most of the upset people are most upset with?
  19. A little bit of heat and the inability to instant abort your one nighter doesn’t make a state shitty. Contrary to the whining on this board.
  20. At least. And remember, it’s not enough that you succeed, others must also fail.
