  1. I'm trying to raise some peach trees so that I can enjoy fresh peaches, and hopefully have some to put up every year. Two years ago I planted a couple of Rio Grande trees. Last year a couple of Texstars and a Junegold. I went out to water them a couple of days ago and found that a deer had used one of the Rio Grandes for a rub, taking off a lot of bark and shredding a lot of branches. I doubt that it will survive, but I'll try to nurse it through. Now I have to build a game fence around my orchard. I might just end up with a load of venison sausage, too.
  2. I have worked with some really good GCs, but I've also worked with a couple of really shoddy ones, and one who has, to my knowledge, never completed a project. And do not ever, under any circumstances, expect a contractor, general or sub, to read the specs that you and your engineer worked so hard, and the engineer charged so much, to come up with. Ain't nobody got time for that until their submittals are rejected.
  3. "Did I tell you that you could stop?! You'd best get your ass in gear!"
  4. In their red sky world, yes, it is. They are not normal.
  5. Today I learned that Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Dorsett became a rancher after he retired from the Marine Corps. That was a fucking OUTSTANDING rant!
  6. Excellent avatar for that post.
  7. That really sucks. I'm sorry for your losses.
  8. Just because you don't know what I'm doing doesn't mean that I'm doing nothing.
  9. I'm confused. A motherfucker has tried multiple times to burn my house down, has openly announced his intention to continue until he succeeds, and I'm supposed to just relax and expect him to keep failing? Is that really the argument you're making, imma? Because that's exactly what it sounds like.
  10. Who the fuck are you to decide what values people can and cannot hold?
  11. I am so glad that my church did not vote to split off with the hate wing.
  12. Lots of folks walk their dogs at Hohlt Park on the north side of Brenham. Jackson Street park near Blinn has some nice open spaces. I don't know of any specific dog parks. There are some state parks on the south side of Lake Somerville, about 15 minutes north. That's all I can think of.
  13. I guess we know now why Sark didn't bench Ewers for Manning, don't we? Dammit.
  14. That is sooo me two of the last three weeks. My wife and I drove to Oregon to see our daughter and son-in-law. One week up, one week back due to my wife's bad knee. She needs frequent (like every hour) breaks, so we can't make it too far each day. Every break was at least 20 minutes, once 40 minutes, while she was in the bathroom. Aaaaggghhhh!!!!
  15. Back from the long, dusty trail FIGHT!!!
  16. A couple of years ago, when I was first introduced to marionberries, I asked if they came with hookers and crack. I got blank stares. I guess that you have to be of a certain age and remember things like that.
  17. It is tough, but please do it as soon as possible and to the extent that makes them comfortable. I am the executor of my dad's estate, and every day I deal with questions that he could have easily answered for me, many that I anticipated before his death, but it was too tough for me to ask them. He would have gladly discussed everything with me, and I think that it would have made him feel better, but I was too afraid to ask. You have the chance now; you won't after they pass. They want to make their passing as easy on you as they can. Help them do that.
  18. In the little village of Alsea, Oregon, there is a café called Deb's. Their hand painted sign boasts "Save your fork. We have pie." If you ever find yourself there and want a piece of pie, get the marionberry pie. It tastes just like dewberry pie, and is absolutely delicious.
  19. Dr. Seuss must be their dad.
  20. "Hey! This big ass hole keeps getting bigger! Let's go stand on the edge and see what happens!" Holy shit, indeed.
  21. Probably, but sooner or later boots will be on the ground to "ensure total destruction of the target" or some other such macho shit. That's when the crazy old guys get a say. It's not the professionals that are scary; it's the motivated, unpredictable amateurs who will get you in unexpected ways.
  22. Don't bet against a bunch of crazy old fuckers with a little training and a lot of motivation. Charlie out front shoulda told you.
  23. I showed my wife the pictures. Her response was, "How did he take so many pretty things and make them ugly?"
  24. I think that he no longer needs his needle valves in his stems. A good Samaritan would remove them for him.
