Your Mom

No shit? I had no idea. I don’t follow recruiting and I hadn’t paid any attention to him other than noticing his theatrics when he first got hired. Learned something new.

Does he have some recruiting gift I don't know about. He hasn't been a relevant player since before any current college student was born.

Pretty much spot on. There's 2 RAs and both are critical for Cat II and III approaches. Lose one on a foggy Cat III day and you're diverting. On most days only one is needed and the other can be MEL'ed and it's for little things like the flight director knowing what bank angle to command, when to arm your nav mode after takeoff and things like that.

Too many people putting too much emphasis on us being up 28-7 on OU as if it showed would could impose our will and systematically drive the length of the field. That first half was a bunch of fluke plays. 1st play from scrimmage goes to the house for 75. Second drive was a TD was the result of a blocked punt and we get it at the OU 2 yard line. Third drive we punted. Fourth drive was a TD, the result of us having a short field after an interception. So at 21-7 we had only run 9 total plays. Those plays count but you can't just live on big plays like that. You have to be able to drive the length of the field and we hadn't proved we could do that in that first half even though the score looked nice. We punted 3 times in that first half that everyone thought was so great. If you thought that game was in the bag you weren't paying attention.

I had two 5 gallon Scepter water jugs for camping. Added 2 more just to have in the garage. Yesterday I bought half a chord of firewood and told the kids I don't want to hear any bitchassedness about heaters. That and an extra 20 propane tank for the grill will do it for our house.

He might be but we wouldn't know it yet. Belichick couldn't coach these fucking clowns. The faster we clear out this roster the better.

We should? Why exactly should we be 6-1? The teams that beat us are all legit better than us at the moment. “Should be” is for when the refs jobbed you on a potential game-winning play. That’s not what caused those losses for us. We earned them straight up by playing like shit when it counted the most. We are exactly what are record says we are.

The mask mandate is from the feds but violators don't get put on the federal no-fly list. That list is for national security type stuff, terrorism watch lists, etc... and covers all airlines that fly in or into the US. The company-specific no-fly lists are for violent or abusive behavior and threats but not up to the level of terrorism. Those are the ones Delta would like to have shared between airlines. Most of the major airlines have well over 1000 names on their individual lists.

What a perfect time to be out there. And I knew that gnarled little tree in your last post looked familiar. This is my shot from a couple years ago from that same spot. Probably my favorite spot in Texas and even better that you have to work to get there.

Delta suggested this not long ago. Not sure if any other airlines have said anything about it but I wish they would.

Y’all might be surprised to know that getting a group of 30,000 mostly-uneducated women from both extremes fringe edges of political views and who either vehemently agree with or disagree with certain rules to enforce those very rules equally and level-headedly is sometimes challenging.

Said everyone who ever worked in any restaurant and saw similar shit happen in every single one of them. Im convinced there’s not a restaurant in existence that hasn’t had some disgusting shit happen in the kitchen on the regular As for meals in a theme park, fuck that. I’d rather live paycheck to paycheck for a few years and eat ramen and pbj when I need to. I could see doing it for a year or so to help build a rainy day fund, but 6 years?!

Not today Oedipus.

Without checking any stats, I’d trade both our entire lines for Harvard’s or Yale’s.

Paco love lamp.

I got you man… Yours is looking good. I think yours started after mine and I’m still 2 weeks (allegedly) from tile and coping and another week from having the deck poured

Fuck. Good luck not having "Island Buueee" in your head the rest of the day.

This is stupid. We just don’t have very many players that are very good. You can bring in Bill Belichick if you want and it wouldn’t improve much until we get better players.

You’ve been out to the East/South Rim before right?

I’ve recommended Ernst Tinaja on the other BB thread. Not much of a hike, maybe a mile each way but pretty cool little unique spot that I didn’t even realize existed until just a few years ago. It’s down in that section of the park where the hot springs are. Not really near the hot springs, but in that side of the park. Google pics. Last year I was out there and we stayed in the state park in a fairly remote spot down 27 miles of dirt road. The last few miles were no-shit rocky creek crossings and 4x4 only. There wasn’t anything exceptional there but that ended up being our favorite part of the trip, just being away from the national park crowds. But if you’ve got a busy agenda it wouldn’t work well because it literally took two hours just to get back to the pavement plus another hour to get to the chisos. I’m due for a trip out there.

Unless you are building a really expensive pool, you're not going to get to pick a builder. The builder is going to pick you. I started the process a few months ago and made a bunch of phone calls. The company I went with was the one I was hoping not to go with but they were literally the only ones that were willing to come and return phone calls and schedule a quote. I went with Cody and it's probably going to be a 6 month process minimum. I would have preferred to give my money to a smaller business but they were't interested in the work. Mine is a basic 15X30 rectangle pool with no spa but a decent amount of decking. Pools like that are running $80k and up. I had one guy straight up tell me if I wasn't spending close to $200k they didn't have time for the job right now. Go check https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/342-yes-pools-are-worth-it/page/36/#comments Poolflood drops some good knowledge in there and might be able to help you find a builder. Good luck.

Is this a joke about tits? I feel like its a joke about tits. I'm not tall but with the front seat slid forward it's 7' 4" from the back of the front seat to the back glass. It is cramped with the ceiling though, a modified crouched seated position is as tall as you can get. That mattress I put in there is 6'5", so a little room to spare on each end. I have a RTT now and it's more comfy but it's plenty doable inside the cab for a minimalist who doesn't like a a lot of set-up/takedown with campsites.

Nice! I love my 2000. Little things come up on it that can be irritating. Door lock motors, diff bushings, bearings, CV boots, etc... But I still love driving it and it still surprises me that it's 21 years old and drives this nice. Sure beats having a car payment, IMO. Mine is at 210k too. Do yourself a favor and research the AHC system. a couple of great threads on IH8Mud about it. I started out in the school of thought that's I'd yank it out and replace with conventional suspension but I've come around on it. It still rides nice and I love getting a 2 inch lift at the touch of a button when I need it. I just did an AHC fluid flush, which was a lot easier than I thought and the ride got even better. You and I are both probably due for new AHC globes soon and I hear from the guys who have done it that the ride improves back to that same new car off-the-factory floor feel. It's an easy job for a DIYer and I'll probably do it in the next year just because.

That's exactly where I'm at on lots of trips. Keep the peace on the flightdeck all day, have my beer alone at the bar, and figure out when I'll be able to move to Denver. 4 years and 11 months, minimum for me. Gotta get the youngest off to college first.

The deal as far as I know is that we currently suck and we’re all hoping the next round of management can unfuck some of GKs mess. We don’t have the staffing to support this schedule. There’s definitely some antivaxxer hardliners out there but I haven’t heard of any movement to call in sick in retaliation. If anything there might be a lack of people picking up open trips for extra pay compared to what the company is used to. But that should be planned for in staffing levels and it wasn’t.
