Spaulding Smails

Ha! As luck would have it, work got in the way, so I had to cancel. Had a round at Great Hills shortly thereafter and needed a driver, so I found a used Callaway Mavrik that was the exact same as the one I broke at Golf Galaxy, but with a slightly better shaft for $150. Been hitting it great, so I'm holding off until the spring.

That thing looks awesome. Are you wanting vertical gun rack or horizontal across the hood? I went back-and-forth on my Polaris. Ended up going with a single horizontal rack on the hood right in front of the steering wheel. Added a double ceiling rack as well. My thought was to have one at the ready then two up top for overflow. We cram six into the Polaris occasionally, so I didn't want the vertical rack on the floorboard.

Dude. That's a fantastic Hill Country buck. What part of Blanco county?

Took my son out for youth opener this weekend. The last year that he's eligible. He didn't see much of anything moving. Just a few young bucks running together. So, we knocked out some chores, ran into town, ate fajitas and enjoyed the time together. Meanwhile from back home Saturday night, my wife sends me this pic. She said this guy was sitting in our front pasture as she pulled in from picking my daughter up from a halloween party. Crappy picture zoomed in and through the windshield, but he's a tank. We might need to scrap the 2 hour drive to the ranch and hunt from the front porch this weekend.

Screw those scumbags. They owe a lot of people a lot of money (including me).

Drinking fountain (south Texas). And C-1 was referred to as a "casita".

If the wall is being built from scratch, then it should definitely work. Is this a new partition wall or are you modifying an existing load-bearing wall? If load bearing, just make sure your header is adequately sized and doesn't affect the height of the rough opening.

That seems to be correct for this product. Rule of thumb is that your rough opening should give 1/2" on either side. So, 56-1/2" total frame size. So you could potentially get a 28" if the door slab goes edge to edge on the track, but I'm guessing you'll have to go with 27" to get it to fit fully in the cavity. Anything by Hafele is going to be a good product. That's mostly what we use for pocket door hardware, custom hinges, etc. Spend the money on good hardware. Especially if you're slab is solid core. I'd also highly recommend getting a solid plywood pocket door frame if you can find it. Heavier, but easier for install since it won't twist as much, and gives more rigidity to the frame to keep the door slab from rubbing. And, use the correct size screws when hanging your drywall. Nothing worse than a screw head poking through the back side and scratching the shit out of your door slab.

Makes total sense. Second largest buck I ever shot was 1 PM while out on a walk. Whatever works!

3:00? That seems crazy early. Is this just a feeder you watch for enjoyment or one near a stand? I'm 7:00 / 5:00 (post DST adjustment). Keep it simple. I hate when a feeder goes off too early in the morning. You can hear them crunching corn and can't see shit. And, in the evenings, I try to avoid climbing in the stand after the feeder's gone off. I hunt after work on occasion, so it's tough to get there too early. I too subscribe to the "set it once" mentality. I used to hunt with some old timers that seemingly needed a meteorological calendar, owners manual and abacus to figure out what time to set feeders. Many an argument ensued, and it got pretty comical. We had one guy that thought he had it all figured out. He went and changed every feeder the week before DST. I hunted the following weekend and couldn't figure out why the feeders didn't go off. He had somehow moved the morning earlier and the evening later. So, the feeders were going off at 5:30 AM and 7:30 PM.

Great idea on the free plan. I'm west of Dripping Springs, so not expecting any B&C trophies. More just curious about what's coming to the feeder.

Just put up a feeder in my front pasture at my house. Surprisingly, there's decent WiFi. Any suggestions on a WiFi enabled game camera? I guess I could just go with a wireless Ring camera, but I'm not really concerned about video, and I'm trying to avoid any kind of subscription plan to go back and review pictures. I just want to be able to log on via an app to check out pictures every few days without much fuss.

Can confirm. Had Giardia when I was 17 the summer before my senior year. It suuuuuucks. 2+ weeks of being tethered to the shitter. Lost 15 lbs that I couldn't afford to lose. Water cooler for high school summer league baseball was filled from a tainted well. Everyone but the kid who's dad filled the cooler got sick for weeks. We forfeited a half dozen games that summer. Can't imagine having it miles from civilzation. Do not want. Ever again.

That's KIII-TV out of Corpus. I'm surprised they were able to spell Dallas correctly.

Didn't even think about that aspect. I bet you're spot on.
