  1. Was staying at the Island House on Padre when Hurricane Hanna surprised us by turning north instead of hitting towards the valley as expected. Sitting on the balcony watching the surf get bigger and bigger. Only a few brave souls walking on the beach in front of the sea wall, which was only about ten yards wide and getting smaller by the minute. Caught some movement from the direction of the dunes and see two full grown coyotes trot out of the dunes, casually trot down the beach north towards the jetty while people while people step aside and watch in stunned silence as they disappear up the beach towards the Holiday Inn. Paco and I just looked at each other for a minute. Did we see what we thought we saw? We did. An hour later waves were hitting the sea wall and blasting water thirty feet in the air. My sliding glass door on my ocean front condo was blown out of the track and we had to move to another room later that night and seeing those coyotes was still the damnedest thing about the whole experience.
  2. Wouldn't be the first time it's happened but probably not.
  3. Mine was all scratched from mesquite brush and drivers side door had a big rusty patch where his arm rested when the window was open. It was perfect in every way for a 16 year old. Sumbitch had a 352 cubic inch engine with floor shifter. Four gears but 1st was a granny gear so always started in 2nd unless hauling a trailer. It could pull just about anything at exactly 3 mph in 1st. Gas mileage was about 7 mpg though.
  4. Mine was a 67. Exact same scenario. Gift from Grandfather. Farm truck he bought new. Gave it to me and bought a new F-150 that my cousin ended up with when he passed. God I loved that truck and that old man.
  5. Dear MLB and MLBPA, you're both rich assholes. Get over yourselves, come to a goddamned deal (maybe, you know meet once in a while during the whole damned offseason) and let's play ball. Whatever leverage you think delaying the season gives you just results in fans hating all of you and moving on with their already busy lives. Seriously, you dumbfucks, WTF? Sincerely, Everyone Else
  6. The BBWAA or whatever they call themselves need to get over themselves. They sure love the smell of their own farts. Playing field was the same for all even during the steroid era. Bonds and Clemens are pricks but both deserve to be in. I mean Nolan Ryan wasn't unanimous first ballot because some of these tools "Don't vote anyone in on the first ballot" What a joke.
  7. In the actual move the song was "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. Thus the Castle Face gif.
  8. I have a few of those trails (boxers) and it always cracks me up when one will go shit in the middle of my 1/2 acre back yard and instead of coming directly back to the porch will beeline directly to the nearest trail and follow it back to the porch even if it goes halfway around the fence line.

    My bidet evangelism game is strong. My MIL came to visit for Thanksgiving and ordered two from Costco for her house while she was here so my BIL could install them while she was gone and they'd be ready when she got home.
  10. Now that's bad driving.
  11. Sorry about that.
  12. Chrysknives come from the baby worms they keep trapped for making the Water of Life, if I recall.
  13. That's exactly what happened. Every time someone new went into the bathroom it was like E.F Hutton was talking. My girlfriend at the time, now my wife (no pics) just about kicked my ass when she came out the first time.
  14. In my youth my housemates and I had a Halloween party. I rigged up a giant rubber spider on fishing line that hung over the toilet. When the bathroom door was open it was up at the ceiling, but when you closed the door it dropped down to eye level. One of my housemates watched me set it up. Thirty minutes later I hear the bathroom door close and I hear him yell and curse. I was LMAO when he came out looking sheepish. Every time someone went to the bathroom at that party they made a noise. Every time.
  15. Due to Covid we got ours from Bill Miller last year and it was so good we are doing it again. It's good turkey and dressing. The gravy and rolls are good too. We do our own mashed taters and other sides, but for the price it's a no-brainer if you don't want to cook.
  16. I loved it. Very reminiscent of The Grand Budapest Hotel. I love his style and the story is great.
  17. I'm pretty sure they take orders over the phone right? That would send me into a rage.
  18. I'll be in my bunk.
  19. WTF does that idiot think TASB does? That alone should disqualify him from office.
  20. That's my understanding. I think it would cost more to fix it than it's worth.
  21. Well duh. Jack straw and I are going to drink beer while G does the work Boss moves.
  22. @Paco is probably going to subcontract it to G Money anyway.
  23. I had a couple of classes at the Pinnacle back in the 90s when I was fresh out of the Army and not sure what exactly I wanted to do. Great view from those classrooms, not very conducive to learning. Always seemed a little odd standing out there in the middle of nowhere.
