The Albemarle 53 Spencer Edition makes it debut at the FLIBs this week. Beautiful boat from a collaboration between 2 great boat builders. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy09y9HurEH/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

We did some projects with his company several years back. Never met the old man as we mainly dealt with the son. For whatever reason, the projects never really planned out. Clash of personalities I guess.

My mama says that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.

I can understand the sentiment, but I’d cut a bitch for the belly and cheek meat off a 50# op.

Eclipse shadows from the live oak tree in my front yard during the 2017 partial eclipse. Didn’t know this happens and I noticed it as I was going into the house to get some stuff to view with. A programmable shade level welding helmet also works pretty good for viewing eclipses.

Feel free to show up and wave a sign or throw a molotov or two. Supposedly some Greenpeace types are supposed to show up so you never know.

Hopefully, only the ones for calling your side piece and not one you need for other reasons

Kinda meh in the meme but the KJ Sound Guy shorts are pretty damn good.

WhoTF flies from Dallas to SA, to then get in another car or bus to drive out near Junction. That’s gotta be why the men are pissed.

Doing doughnut burnouts in the center of intersection seems like the correct answer based on the pic.

A little bit of Google tells us, indeed, they are real and from the 2012 time frame. Barstool had a couple of where are they now posts https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3329024/where-are-they-now-the-people-from-the-carls-jr-lakers-girls-lunch-date-photoshoot-part-1

Bonus rep for old school that’s now new school brown camo.

You sold Graceland?

This is really just a closeup of a Cowan print, isn’t it? If you zoom out, there’s a school of redfish tailing at the base of the blind. Amirite?

Rolled 90 mph through Coffee City half an hour ago. Fuck the police!

Nope, gotta be this …

Yep all of this. Had to move the shop vac into the attic to suck up the pieces of plastic it got so bad. Probably 20+ wreaths up there. And 25+ old Tonka trucks, and boxes of Nat Geo, Reader Digest, Boys Life etc from the 60s on. Dibs has already been called on Pong so it’s not for sale. Plenary of other treasures though.

Mom passed away in 2017 and dad stayed in the house until we moved him to a memry care faculty at the first of this years. They lived in the house for 45 years and dad, being born in the depression and growing up in the war, never threw anything away. We’ve been going through the house cleaning out and organizing since the spring. Mom loved entertaining and decorating different holidays and had all kinds of stuff. Most are not expensive antiques, but there’s enough stuff that we’re going to have an estate auction later this year or early next year. Mom had five different buffet/china cabinet type pieces in the house and everyone of them are like this. If you look closely, there are 13 cake stands in this one cabinet alone. 13! We always said my dad was the pack rat, but looking again, mom may just have been better at hiding it. My sisters (no pics) have found at least 8 more cake stands in other cabinets and several more packed away in the attic. I need to do a ‘Shit I found in my Parent’s Attic’ thread with the pictures I took while we where cleaning it out. As a teaser, here’s the Super Pong game we had in the mid 70s, complete with box and instruction manual

20K plus dead/missing in Libya flooding? https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna105001

Amyl and The Sniffers a few weeks ago in Paris. 1) If anyone falls down, you help them up 2) Don’t push anyone that don’t want to be pushed 3) Get rowdy!

We had a double crested cormorant depredation permit for a while. We have a small lake that borders up onto a very large lake and the double crested cormorants got pretty bad after a while. We would be duck hunting on the smaller lake and my dad would just set in a flyway between the lakes and pound cormorants all morning long. They wised up eventually and figured out the small lake was not the place to be if they didn’t want BB steel shot blasted at them.

Riot has about 450 MW of mining capacity in Rockdale at the old Alcoa plant. They plan on expanding to 750MW at that location. They are also currently in phase 1 construction of 250MW capacity in Navarro county and plan on expanding that to 1 GW. In recent months the only money they have made is shutting down cpu’s and selling allotted electricity back to the grid instead. They have long term contracts to purchase at $0.02-0.03 kwhr and can sell back at much higher, all in the name of keeping the Texas grid stable.
