Covid/Influenza/Black Death. 2024 and beyond
That age demographic (my parents are in their late 60’s) for some reason don’t possess a bullshit filter when it comes to things on the internet. For some reason, if it’s on the internet it must be true (in their world). For well over a decade I’ve had to debunk absolute nonsense that both parents come at me with, and after peeling back the layers I discover they saw some clip or read some nonsense meme on Facebook. I’ve gotten to the point now where my dad will say something absurd, and I’ll just cut him off and say “I bet you saw/read that on Facebook”. To which his response 98% of the time is “yeah I did and I’ll show you where!”. I let him, then casually use the Google machine and show its absolute nonsense. This applies to government/partisan stuff, urban legends, dietary and helmets advice, etc.

Senior Citizen Issues - Assisting Your Parents
My parents live 138 miles away from me. My brother lives 7 miles away from my parents. 30 years ago mom and dad sold the house and five acres of the farm, kept the rest of the land and moved into town. Now, they’ve decided to build their dream home and move back to the farm for retirement. Even at 66 dad is still remarkably strong and capable, but I worry he doesn’t know when to slow down or understand that his limitations are different at 66 than they were at 36. So a few weeks ago I left out on a Friday at 4am so I could be in their driveway at daybreak to help with moving all the big stuff to the new house. I left about 930 that night. Never saw hide nor hair of my brother. He showed up Sunday, moved a couple boxes in his Tahoe and then asked Dad where the beer was. This should be a fun adventure as our parents continue to get older

Tell me about Texas Tech
That RB class Leach snagged in ‘05 was pure smoke. Edward Britton, Kobey Lewis and Batch were insane to watch in person. If Britton would have played somewhere besides El Paso he would have gotten a heck of a lot more attention

4-ish years ago?? Became something weird, then sat vacant, and now it’s a donut shop. That’s when you know you’re in the wrong part of town when the damn WH closes up shop.

Patience. Secondary has come way down in the last six months. Do I think we’ll ever see $54 for a 1.75 of w12 or $46 for a 1.75 of 107? Absolutely not, but we’re a hell of a lot closer than we’ve been in the last 6-7 years.

I feel like watching any more games and expecting a win is the equivalent of watching Old Yeller and being surprised when he dies. Let’s go team….

2025/2026 Hunting Thread
Went down to grandma’s this week to get my welder and to my surprise she left about 110 acres unplowed like I asked her to and it is solid Johnson grass and sunflowers. Ready for September to get here

Small batch and BT are everywhere in DFW. Blanton’s is starting to become much less scarce as well. Secondary prices on ETL, Hancock’s and most of the BTAC have plummeted in the last few months. I really hope this is a sign of things to come.
