I think
although
213 is more likely, the wiser choice. -
Yep, not all of those out of state plates are Tech Bros and yoga teachers. Most I've met are rich assholes looking for tax breaks or blue collar dudes for construction.Let me guess. Another right wing California asshole that's moving to Texas?-

My Ex Wife's nieces in Montgomery Co are all Trumptards. Save one, but she went to UT and didn't go back. 24-33. No picts.I don't think I know one person under the age of 40 who would vote for Trump over Biden.
May want to add Trump being a convicted felon (how many times over?) by November 2024 to the calculus. -
Back in the day my old ass uncle got arrested for shoplifting at the Home Depot on 610 North in Houston. He bought a bunch of shit, but had put $35 worth of shit in his pocket, as his arms were full, and forgot to dig them out to pay. Class B misdemeanor as Class C at the time was $25 ( or whatever). Spent most of the night in jail over it.A few weeks ago I was in Lowe’s and I saw a man carrying (hiding) a nice sized box under his jacket under his left arm. As he walked by I just stopped and stared at him. I then turned and followed him out of curiosity down another aisle. He finally started towards one of the exits and I caught the eyes of a couple of employees and pointed him out. They all nodded at me with acknowledgment. As he approached the door they casually walked that way as well. Once he was at the door he bolted and all they did was watch him run. They told me that it is their policy to not confront or chase shoplifters because of the danger that it may present.
The whole thing just pissed me off.
Saw the same store parade around a dude that attempted shoplifting and got caught, with a "I'm a shoplifter" sign around his neck as some sort of penance instead of calling the cops. Bizzare.
In West Austin these days I routinely have to wait for a cashier to even appear- at the CVS, Lowes, Corner store. I could steal all sorts of shit, walk out with whatever, or only self check half my shit and no one gives a fuck. Crazy.
I guess the liability and costs of preventing shrinkage is factored into operating costs and they've found cheaper to let shit slide. Or maybe most people are pretty honest. -
Flex would be okay in limited efficient doses without all the talk about the talk we are about to talk about. Or maybe just on Craig's show. Granted I have a high school athlete at the moment.The Ticket is the ticket and there is nothing like it.
The Horn tries to tell me about liberty hill girls basketball. #Flex. They have/had pretty good talent with Bucky/Erin/Rod. The over the top local thing is a beating tho. That and weed man USA and camp bow wow. “Had lots of weeds, not anymore”.
Turns out Weed Man did not provide the services I was hoping for. They wanted to work in my yard. -
I need to hit brushy before Super Summer is in effect. I had an amazing time throwing streamers to trout on the guad this spring. They were in a riffle above a deep pool likely eating sucker spawn. Watching a smaller trout follow it, then having a bigger fish get pissed and charge my fly was awesome.Sight casting streamers is awesome. That’s almost the only thing I’ll throw out in brushy creek bc it’s so clear.
slapping a foam bug on the surface in slow moving water is fun too though.-

I'm the same in summer even in deeper slower water; if they don't want a big popper I'll switch to some sort of hopper pattern, and if they don't want that I'll throw various traditional dry flies. I find that as small dries sink just below the surface a few inches smaller fish will swarm and often larger fish will take notice and aggressively eat out of spite. The small nibbles will wear out the fly quick but it works as a last resort before throwing streamers. I only enjoy streamers if I can see fish. Blind casting is not as enjoyable for me.

He would have to first believe that God or Jesus are not subservient and beneath him. Not happening. He gets better ratings than God and Jesus was loser that died.Being the Antichrist, wouldn’t his tongue burst into flame or something if he actually quoted scripture?-

And he's a Gop Latino friend with family from Puerto Rico which is close enough to Cuba to matter a whole lot to Fox etc. Married 5 times and breeder so that also tracks as the kids say. A little light Jewish connection, and a track record as a non-serious journalist and he's perfect. 5 tool player if you will.still got a lot of eyeballs. that's all that matters.

We need a Surly compound down in Costa Rica.If we can find a way out (issues with state pension stuff), we are out, because why put our kids through this shit when they/we could be just as happy/happier elsewhere?-

Yeah thanks again for recommending TFO. I feel like a fucking wizard casting my 5 weight. Looking at an 8 weight soon.I love my 3 and 6 weights, my 3 is probably my most favorite. Had a 9 I gave it to marlon brando’s son super drunk after catching a GT, my Thomas & Thomas and Scott 12 and 8 are good but I see no reason to buy anything but TFO they perform so great. When tailwaters sold me my salt set ups I think they wanted the price tag. Don’t blame them but I won’t make that mistake again. -
The Mexicans I know in Argentina freak the fuck out if you put black pepper on a steak. It's all just salt or gtfo. I'm definitely smuggling in spice on my next visit, maybe over sized cuff links fully of Tony C's; lil black Pepper in a bindle on the DL to make that fine Argentine beef sing just right.Now I want a taco bowl, a crunchy taco bowl full of ground beef and sour cream just like the Mexicans eat in South America.-

Lots of bridges in Midland over abandoned wells, saltwater lagoons. and over troubled frac waters. However, if you're going to drill baby drill anywhere, Midland is the area to fuck shit up, shit was already fucked and unappealing to begin with. No one noticed. That area looks like bombed out Iraq zones from the air.I would really like to understand why it's not a punishable offense for the false elector lawyer to withhold the immunity deal in an effort to obstruct the prosecution. If you think it was just an oopsie whoopsie, I have a bridge to sell you in Midland TX-

Interesting timing with Russian Pow interviews posted today pointing out that Wagner had better leadership and support for thier guys. One was considering joining Wagner as it was the lessor of two shit sandwiches by a large margin. Wagner has done a fair job, by Russian standards, of marketing themselves as a better alternative to the regular army- even in death your commanders give a shit and give you proper burials with honor. (Even if it's bullshit, for desperate traumatized Russian men it must be appealing.) Shits getting interesting.Like I said, some are claiming nobody at the MOD is talking to him for whatever reason, which makes complete sense - if he had an open line to the MOD, I don't know that he'd be making this video, or the alternative is that he'd be specifically saying that he had talked to Gerasimov and Shoigu and they told him no. This sounds like a guy whose calls aren't being returned, so he gets on social media.
I don't think he gets hammer time - I have a feeling the Wagner boys all have access to this video, and they all have probably been told they have no ammo because Shoigu/Gerasimov said not to give it to them.
Assuming he is telling his mercenaries that they get no ammo because the Russian MOD would rather they die, I'd have to think that Wagner's leadership and more than a few of the rank and file, are not very welcome in Russia right now, especially with how many are convicts these days.
Wish Tom Clancy and a few others were around to write about this stuff, because this sure as hell feels like an outright power struggle that you couldn't have dreamed of outside of an 80s Cold War novel, with Putin not having a fucking clue about any of it (otherwise he'd have shut Wagner down and sent them elsewhere, or given them the ammo).
Feels like Prigozhin has crossed his Rubicon though. No way to walk that video back.
Where would we have a Surly tailgater for May 9th? The former Russian House here in Austin? Which took off the "Russian" part last year to honor Ukraine?
And of course, May 9th is a fucking Tuesday. Always a fucking Tuesday with these things.-

Like thier hero, they only like Veterans who are winners, and like to shoot shit on the weekend. Not pussy losers that got blowed up.I'm pretty sure that you could convince a good number of GQPs of that and then sit back and watch them advocate for deporting mentally ill veterans to Mexico. -
Sir, those are tactical reading glasses.It's not strange at all. Everybody walks around with two pairs of sunglasses without wearing either pair. Totally normal thing to do.-

He has interesting guests on, my homeboy sends me links from time to time, and it can be interesting and entertaining. Joe is intellectually curious and engages a wide variety of topics, but he's also a meat head and is self aware that he's the "Fear Factor Guy." As such, he's easily duped by fake news or clearly BS conspiracy shit, and the Guest's jokes fly right the fuck over his head. He is what he is, the problem is he has a huge audience and the bros take him at his word far to often. He's a walking talking "just asking questions" disrupter of serious discourse because of the aforementioned realities.I enjoyed his bits when I first got satellite radio and listened to the comedy channels a lot. Now that a couple of decades has past, I wonder if I’d still like his schtick.
Eliza Shlesinger is funny as fuck. Saw her in NY, works her ass off. -
I mean guns were kind of an important theme throughout Lincoln's presidency. Especially at the end.Crazy shit and guns. Your party of Lincoln, everyone.-

I actually use a magnetic stud sensor first for this reason. Faster; less mistakes. Scan twice drill once.
Someone left some logs in there.
WrongDumb. The stud finders work off of magnetism. They detect the screws holding the drywall to the studs. They wouldn’t alert on the pvc pipe, and geek squad wouldn’t have mounted it there. -
When he was angry enough it was far scarier.Was your dad Andre the Giant?
My bad. I pretty much only post from my phone and voice to text etc creates some issues. I'll try harder to be best.-

I did not see any snakes today but this is prime time around my place. Usually see a few Corals, which i don't mind. The rattlers can fuck off.
I did say fuck it and fish the guad this morning. Around 12 trout, all 16-21. Lost another monster he took me for a ride than ran back at me shallow and came undone. All on nymphs except one on a streamer. My nymph box is getting Very empty but they were not too picky as long as it was 16-20 hook size. I think the front last night and small amount of rain had them fired up. Left em biting and off the water by noon. Didn't loose any fish I released, worked them aggressively and upped my tipit size as the water was slightly dirtier than normal from the rain. It was cool enough still where they weren't too stressed but this scene is about to end. Despite all the shit floating in the water very few rises, and the big boys were all just laying on the bottom working current like vacumns. Fish all looked fat and happy. SMH at bros showing up at noon.-

My dad listened to Rush back in the 80s. It was funny at times in the late 80s. By the early 90s it had turned dark and Rush drug (wink) my dad with him down a dark, cynical and racist road. It was frustrating to watch. By High School my forbid my father and I from talking politics after my dad threw a Limbaugh at me in anger. He missed but broke some shit.Man, I used to listen to that twat, back in the 80s. Back then, it was all a joke; his gig was to troll the left, but it was done with a wink and a grin at the audience who were in on the joke.
At some point, he joined Fox, and appeared to get high on his own supply; seemed like he was starting to believe the inane bullshit he used to say as a joke. Dunno if that was the substance abuse or just ego... or maybe came with Murdoch hiring him, or just being surrounded by people who actually believed what he was saying.
Or, maybe I just grew up.-
