    The Oilers moving was a travesty. They were an easy team to root for. Loved Moon. We played a lot of street football when I was a kid, dodging cars, etc. I had a good stretch of throws at QB, won some games. I was pretty proud when we were picking positions one game and someone said “QB should be Dan Pastorini here.” I was immediately tackled and broke a rib.

    I ordered a Y in October. Delivery has slipped from April when I ordered it to June now. Went to the store to check if I can get moved up, Fleet Manager said he’d take a look. FM: You’re leasing? Me: Yeah, my first EV, just want to dip my toe. FM: The car is now valued at 10k more than when you ordered it. Me: Let’s dive, shall we? I’ll buy it.

    Getting old sucks

    Thanks. So far so good. After a week plus I can walk without pain, which has made my Doc very happy. Still kind of tender though. Improvement should occur over time since the idea is to regenerate cartilage and heal a labrum tear. I’ll follow up after some PT when I try to run again. Apparently this stem cell therapy is more popular for shoulder and knee cartilage repair, with some good studied results. Hip is an outlier but I decided to give it a shot. * Insurance said yeah, no, good luck with your experimental procedure*

    I like Bernard for UCLA. Should elaborate, seems like money whenever he decides to engage.

    Getting old sucks

    Mach 1 replied to Hate's topic in Lulz

    Mach 1 enters the chat: Recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in one of my hips. Overuse from running and hiking. Decided to give some new stem cell therapy a shot rather than the hip replacement. Pretty wild. They took fat from my mid section, did some sorcery to generate the cells, then injected it between my hip and thigh bone. Good times. Said it will take a few weeks to a few months to see results. Hopefully buy some more time before doing the hip replacement, which sounds fucking awful, but apparently has gotten less invasive recently.

    ^^^. Good advice from Snake Diggity. I own a handful of duplexes in Tucson, manage them myself. It's not too bad as long as you have a handyman and plumber on speed dial. On tenants I've found good employment is the main factor in renting. If they can easily cover the rent, rarely any problems. So I check that out, and give their prior landlord a call to see if there were any problems. But I'll add that I also check the county records to see if the applicant has ever been evicted our arrested for a felony. Pima County I can do that online easy, not sure if that's possible in the county you're in, but it's worth the effort. I've bounced quite a few who were evicted or convicted of assault. Good luck.

    Not accurate, not funny. But I like your farm reports. Interesting stuff.

    Kind of a necro bump I have one and it’s fucking awesome. Saved me a couple of time like a champ.

    Doesn’t it depend on your carrier? State Farm has taken care of numerous issues with our family without an issue or $ hike.* Deductible is $500 but I’d rather sleep well at night and pay them then pay some stranger. * I reserve the right to revise that based on a recent incident with my son.

    I just remembered a csb/ I took my son on a fishing trip on Lake O the Pines. The dude who took us was full on Cajun, an ex heavyweight boxer in the Army. We fished all over the place including his houseboat. Caught a bunch of ? can’t remember probably catfish but do remember the bass taking our bait and saying fuck you thank you very much. When we had to load up the catch I said Hey, do you want some? I’m just going to fry up some for dinner. He looked at me like it was Christmas. Mach 1, you give me some of those fish and I’m going to give them to a couple of twins over in LA I visit from time to tIme. Save me a little $ if you know any I mean. He the pinched my son on the cheek. He was around 10 at the time, not sure if he got it or not. /csb

    I’m getting a kick out of this thread also. Mom lived in Jefferson for awhile. We’d drive through Marshall to visit and just rolled through. Apparently smart. Caddo was cool, we did the boat tour a couple times. Captain said Uncertain was named so because when the riverboats from LA would drop off mail, and they couldn’t read the address, they’d label it Uncertain. Google tells a different story, but it was an interesting take. IIRC the little train tour in Jefferson had a stop that glorified Confederate soldiers. Kids loved it, were bummed when Mom moved. Daughter said one time Dad, there are a lot of Guns and Fireworks signs out here. Why yes, yes there are.

    It’s good info for everyone. No reason to be surly with content like that. It should be pinned up top. @immamac

    Wrong. Go back and read the thread. With your confidence, yeah, they’re toast. Luckily there’s no one in Ukraine that has a Struggle Bus.

    RCA up your ass. People are being killed because a madman stuck in 1980s Soviet Union has the power to *try* to turn back the clock.

    What do you mean they’re in jail? Those boys are folk heroes! Cop: They’re criminals. Well most folk heroes start out as criminals!

    Dude, dial it back. You're a good poster and I'm simpatico with you on other threads. But you're insisting upon yourself here, and it's unnecessary. Move on.

    ^^ Thought about that also. From the same era, I don't think there's any way the whore/party scene in Risky Business could possilbly be done today. Alas, many a would be spawn of young Mach 1 lost to the tissues of time.

    This is all so fucked. Putin can DIAF. The poor Ukrainians, living in the geographic version of the short stick. A huge, violent asshole to your east, a disparate medley of half brothers and sisters to your west. I just finished the chapter in Bloodlands (hat tip @956 Worldwide) where Stalin effectively murdered 5 million Ukrainians in the 30s. Socialism > Collectivism > Deportation/Starvation > Cannabilism. Truly horrific what Russia has done to Ukraine over the years. There has to be a sense of 'fuck this, we'd rather die than put up with this shit again' from the locals when they line up to get an Ak-47, when they've never fired a gun before. Fuck em up Ukraine.

    I don't have a dog in this hunt re: Hall vs No Hall, but I like Stafford and I'm happy for him. But each time i see this thread is bumped I have the same thought: If the Niners DB catches that wide open, breadbasket interception, the narrative is flipped on its head and this debate never happens. I just find it interesting after all those games, all those passes, all those TDs, one play would have swung the pendulum about Stafford in the opposite direction. Lucky for him the dumbass dropped it.

    Those are some awesome photos. Which trail did you take to get there? I did the Sliding Sands from the rim down to the cinder cones. There's a split that goes to that cabin and the Bottomless Pit. I chose to go see the pit. Not an easy hike. The 9-10,000 elevation, and the 2000 foot elevation gain going back up, made for some hard work. I might shoot for your cabin overnight next time, that looks great. Cool to look out over moonscape and see you're above the cloudline.

    RIP Obligatory: (Spoilered - not sure if this type of humor ages well) PJ was the editor of National Lampoon when he published John Hughes first short story, the original Vacation. Still one of the funniest things I've ever read. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/read-john-hughes-original-national-811591/

    Just bumping. Might generate some SB football talk before the game thread. Watching it again I expect the Rams to dial up a shitload of running plays and delayed shovel passes.

    They just reopened after adding a bar next door. Adding gas to a fire haha. I lived a few blocks from Weiner Circle in late 90s early 2000s. Ate there many times drunk as hell late night. My favorite experience was when some drunk frat bros were really aggressive giving shit right back to the staff. Really hardcore, one guy in particular. I found it odd that the cashier didn’t respond just took the punches. Five minutes later she says “Order for Patrick! Cheeseburger with grilled onions and black pussy hair all over it!” Dude was meek as shit getting his food. He just stared at it while the entire place laughed their as off.

    This will be interesting to watch. Burrow will have a hard time with the Rams D but if the Cincy D can fuck with Stafford like this and keep it close we might have a game.
