  1. That all makes a lot of sense. We're looking at building an outdoor space in the hill country in the next couple of years, and I'm always looking for ideas. I think that 3rd side enclosure would make a lot of sense further north, where it can get damn cold outside, but you could probably stay comfortable in that more enclosed area. I hadn't even thought about the leaf/crap accumulation that would come with it. Thanks for sharing, and again, looks great!
  2. Hey @TeeDubya, this looks amazing! Your original sketches included the idea of a low wall & folding windows on that 3rd side...what made you change your mind on that?
  3. Page 1000. Fuck Russia. Fuck Putin. Slava Ukraini!
  4. We have ~12yr old Trex on our back deck, and this bolded part is 100% correct. A pressure wash once a year makes the deck look great...but the railings look like stained styrofoam at this point.
  5. A few thoughts... 1. The FIA needs dedicated stewards and clear rules & penalties. 2. I hate seeing Danny Ric going out like this. He is (or at least was) a good F1 driver, and I hope he can regain that form if/when he gets another seat 3. As a Red Bull fan, I have been rooting for Max. He has an ego (like they all do at that level), but I thought he had grown up some over the last couple of years. Guess I was wrong.
  6. Tell me more about this, please?
  7. I love these standings. Aggy: THE MIGHTY KYLE FIELD!!!!! Scariest place to play in the country! Best homefield advantage in the history of, well, ever!!! World: <checks notes> It says here that this school has the 13th best home record (out of 14) in the SEC...and only Vanderbilt has a *worse* home record. ? edit for probable Jimbo response: Wellwedo.wedo.wehavethebestfansinthecountry.righthere.everysaturday.theycome.theyyell.theysway.andourplayerstheyplay.everydowntheyplay.thisiswhatwedo.theresultissecondtonone.noplacebetter.
  8. Lemme stop you right there...
  9. This is our "go to", with a pickle (yes, pickle) chaser... mmm IMG_4841.HEIC
  10. Why does every CNN article say "drone attacks on the Crimean city of Sevastopol"? Russia is attacking cities. Ukraine is attacking military targets, of an occupying force, who happen to be in a harbor, which happens to be in the city of Sevastopol (which happens to be in Crimea, which happens to belong to Ukraine anyway). TLDR; Fuck Russia.
  11. Ribeye was good tonight...
  12. not going to get much better chances than that...
  13. Do we have a culture problem on this team? Fuck if I know. But I bet that applies to most of us on this board. But I do think, if our RS FR QB hadn't had such a shitty day...we wouldn't even have this thread.
  14. yep, yep. My bad...
  15. why the fuck are they showing grown men feeding each other?
  16. I love that our "struggles" with Iowa State somehow prove that we won't win another game...but their *loss* to Appalachian State has no bearing on how they will do the rest of the year...
  17. LOL. OK, Luigi. Pretty sure the only "recruiting" we'd have to do is make sure he watches a few drives of our offense, compared to Jimbo's...
  18. Let me start by saying that watching the defense on 3rd & 4th down is incredibly frustrating. If you look at points, we're #21 in the country in scoring defense. We've held every opponent other than Tech below their scoring average. And in most cases, we've held them to their lowest or 2nd lowest point total of the year. The biggest outlier was Tech (their 2nd highest scoring game) and now ISU (their 4th highest). But at some point, that inefficiency on 3rd/4th down is going to bite us (again). And I have to believe it is demoralizing for the defense to get a team to 3rd & long, or even 4th & whatever, and then let them convert. Over and over. Like I said...frustrating...
  19. Just finished "Turn the Ship Around" (David Marquet). Fairly quick read, but a great take on how to build an empowered team.
  20. Yes!!! Have some micro-rep for a Trivium reference.
  21. I thought that a business sign that said "Business Name, Est 1900" meant that the business was started *some time* around 1900 (est = estimated). I thought there were some really stupid business owners that didn't know exactly when their business was launched, when the "estimated" date was only a few years in the past.
  22. I think it is great that non-believers want to post in this thread. What a fantastic opportunity to show them that true Christians are loving, kind, and non-judgmental. A relationship with Christ is a deep, personal connection between one person and the savior. But organized religions (Christian and not) have been used for thousands of years, to gain wealth, influence, and power. Sure, they often manage to do some good as well. When people post in here, what they have seen in their encounters with organized religion, they may not be doing so just to be hostile (but this is Surly, after all ). Organizations that proclaim themselves as "good", should absolutely be held accountable when they do "evil". And an organization that proclaims themselves as "good", ought to respond to feedback as an opportunity to improve.
  23. Some of the missile launches are coming from the Black Sea Fleet. I'd sure love to see a few more of them follow the path of the Moscow and get "go-fuck-yourself"-ed.
  24. This is it for me as well. *Someone* is open on every play. The only question is if the QB has the time and/or the mental processing power to find them.
