I’m guessing he has to pay a Trump tax based on the savings. You have to kick up to the boss.

I didn’t get a picture of the first broad head in his ribs. I’m using the Beast broadheads at 125 grains.

That buck was amazingly tough. On Saturday morning, I actually sat in the gun blind because I wanted to get a good look at him as I was considering changing broadheads for my bow as this was the first year I have used a mechanical broadhead. At first light on Saturday, another mature buck was at this location before he showed up. He walked up the sendero, checked out a scrape and then decided he didn’t like that other buck in his territory. They fought for about 5 minutes until he ultimately won. He did all of this with my broad head in his rib cage.

It’s been a long three weeks to finally getting my hands on this buck. As I mentioned in an earlier post, we started getting pictures of our 2 target bucks this year about 4 weeks ago. On 11/2, the wind was right for both my son and I to sit for both of these bucks. About 5:20, my son texted me that he arrowed his buck good. Then, my buck made an appearance 10 minutes later. I was able to put an arrow in him but I knew my shot was a little higher than I would have liked. I wanted to give my buck some time so I was able to go help my son look for his deer. We trailed blood through some thick cactus in the dark but eventually lost the blood trail. At that point, we made the call to see if we could get some canine assistance with the search. The dogs found my son’s buck in about 5 minutes. Afterwards, we went looking for my buck. We found some blood and the dogs trailed blood for over 1000 yards before losing the trail. At about 1 am, it was clear we weren’t finding that buck. After a sleepless night, we went back out and searched for another 4 hours with only a pair of axis sheds to show for the effort. I was back out at the ranch the next weekend with a group of friends and was able to check the game cameras. Fortunately, my deer was back on camera. However, my main goal this weekend was guiding a friend to his first deer. He had a successful weekend with a doe and nice buck. Fortunately, I wouldn’t have guiding responsibilities this weekend and would get back out to hunt. On Sunday morning, I was able to put another arrow in him with a much better spot. After waiting 30 minutes, I climbed down off the tripod and looked at him laying in the road 25 yards away. These 3 weeks have been a roller coaster of epic proportions. I was elated for my son and absolutely in despair worried that I mortally wounded him without finding him in the brush. Both of these deer are personal bests for us with a bow and my deer is the new ranch record at 194 inches. I’m still pulling cactus thorns from that original search 3 weeks ago. In the end, it was worth it. We have multiple years of history in watching these deer. We almost culled my sons deer as a 3 year old because he didn’t have any brow tines. We were extremely lucky that we didn’t make that call. Here’s my son’s deer: Here’s my buck:

What a bullshit decision

We went through all of the Night Court seasons a couple of years ago. Great show.

Haha - Frank thinks the rocket scientists (otherwise known) as the House Republicans will actually find something this time. That group had to bring a consultant in to teach most of the members to tie their shoes. They can put GED Boebert in charge of this investigation.

I would gladly consider the German system with an employee representative who sits on the Board. I absolutely believe most corporate boards do not properly provide oversight on senior management. In my post, I specifically stated that I have no knowledge on Google’s situation. I have been through several layoffs and it was always brutal. Buybacks are already essentially the last place to deploy capital. By providing a buyback, the company is admitting it doesn’t have anywhere else to deploy the cash profitably.

I needed a good laugh tonight.

I’m not certain that it should be day of election, but it should wrap up in a couple of days. I believe that one set of federal rules should apply for federal elections across the board.

Sure - I’m unfortunately a shareholder. Boeing absolutely lost sight of quality. Planes need to stay in the air and an airplane manufacturer will significantly suffer if that doesn’t happen. The buybacks didn’t create the scenario allowing Boeing to essentially self-regulate. My only point here is that buybacks are not some nefarious plot.

I don’t have any insight into the Google situation specifically; however, Google is a massive business with many different segments/operations. Let’s assume a business has 2 different segments: one is wildly profitable and the other is losing money. Should the business be allowed to layoff people in the nonprofitable operation? Are they required to keep those people forever and siphon the profits from the first business to paying those in the loser? Stock buybacks are consistently viewed as some terrible aspect of corporate America today. From my perspective, buybacks are merely an indication that the Company generates more cash flow than it can invest in other opportunities profitably. Occasionally buybacks are abused and the Company ends up taking on debt which can have negative repercussions. It’s just another way to return cash to shareholders. Are dividends bad? I’ve worked in and around Fortune 1000 companies for my entire career. Almost every organization has some level of fat which can be trimmed.

I think Pressly would approve a trade if he was going to be the closer. Finding another team to pay his salary and make him a closer is another question.

You don’t think Ken Paxton threatening to prosecute doctors performing emergency abortions doesn’t have an impact on what doctors are willing to do. You live in fucking Fantasy Land.

That’s a ridiculous comment. Women are dying in Texas because they are unable to get routine medical care. It’s not hysterical at all. This is unfortunately the world we live in today.

I don’t think they will sign Bregman. I would love to be wrong on that.

I don’t want JV back. This team has no margin for error given the expected payroll. At his age, he can’t be expected to hold down a spot in the rotation.

I expect everyone in this board to get their IRS audit notices by June 2025.

Cool - He wasn’t on the ballot and he was prosecuted while his father was President.

This is incredibly depressing. People have 8 years of experience with Trump and think he makes a better President. Any of his dumbass voters talking about inflation under Biden are morons. The only 2 policies that Trump cares about are tariffs and mass deportations. Both of these ideas are highly inflationary. There will be no guardrails for the next Trump administration. We are headed for some incredibly dark times.

How about PLTR’s earnings?

Confirmed that my son and his girlfriend voted for Harris and Allred. That’s 2 new voters in Texas.

Today is the day when we all look forward to big dumps! or alternatively is that tomorrow after the celebration at Chili’s?
