  1. Watch list? He's gonna be the next Secretary of State.
  2. I'm not gonna go CR either, but just google Sinclair Broadcasting and you'll get your answer.
  3. Well, if Sinclair just took over, I could see them either all getting fired or all quitting in protest.
  4. From somebody on reddit
  5. Can't get onto Facebook now to check his page, but Dale Dudley will definitely say something if there is something going on. If not on FB he'll mention it on his show tomorrow. Normally only listen on the way home, happened to click on the online stream, thinking they might be talking about the Guyger verdict, and I was like, who is this ass?
  6. Yeah, that UP 844 used to come down through Texas every two or three years, I've got some pics somewhere when it stopped in Taylor on the bridge over Hwy79/4th Street, 2012 I believe. The last time it came down, something happened with the diesel they had helping out, brakes failed I think and kept pushing the 844 after it stopped, ground down the wheels where they had to take a week or two to get them replaced. Never did make it back down through Taylor, turned around and went back home, I was pissed.
  7. According to their Wiki page, no
  8. Nice. I heard a snippet on their twitter feed, but glad to hear the entire thing. Enjoy this solo much better, the guitar tone anyway.
  9. Probably should go in Hobbies, but eff it, no traffic there (or mods move it if you need to). For all you other train nuts, Big Boy 4014 will be coming through Texas starting on Oct . 21, it'll be in El Paso until Nov. 1 but no public access the week before (maintenance I assume). Then traveling from El Paso to Houston over the next few days, then up to Hearne and northward on the way back to Wyoming. I'll probably drive up to Palestine and see it since that's a Saturday (usually UP brings their steamers through Taylor so I get a close up view but not this time, I has a sad...). Link to schedule is below. UP Steam Schedule
  10. Just saw a pic of her getting interview by one of the news channels for the 10pm news, that should be fun. jesus. Edit: well fuck, never hit reply, maybe somebody saw it...
  11. We've been to Cleburne and Meridian several times, loved them both, especially Meridian. Lots of camping and screened shelters right by the lake, ton of wildlife for the kiddos to look at (armadillos, deer, had a coyote walk down the fence line about 20 feet away from me, he didn't care), some good hiking areas as well and great lake for fishing or swimming. Cleburne used be really nice, had a general store where you could get supplies, ice cream for the kids, rented canoes, etc. Last time we went is was all shut down, don't know if they ever opened it back up.
  12. Yeah, lots of trips to top off my "coke" in my red solo cup. And don't let the little ones near my special "water" bottle...
  13. Not sure if you meant that you don't do camping there, but they definitely have camping. Probably my favorite part, swimming for a few hours, then head back to the campsite when it gets real crowded, grab a bite, maybe play some cards and have a few libations, then back to the pool when the crowd starts to thin out in the evening. And waking up in the middle of the night, looking up out of the skylight in the tent and seeing a billion stars is pretty cool.
  14. When you get paid in drive-thru daiquiris, you can only handle so much of that shit.
  15. Fuck fuck fucking fuck. Got dammit. Eddie Money was a gut punch, this is a kick in the fucking nuts. A bad Cars song was still 90% better that the rest of the shit out there. Yes, I own Door to Door and I like it. Rest in peace my fellow Czech.
  16. A couple more, just some great working-man rock... Not the Byrds song....
  17. Just came to post this one. This came out right about the time I discovered FM radio, used to stay up all night in the summer listening to KILT (yes, it was a rock station at one time) and KLOL, always loved this one, here's another deep cut that is just great. RIP Eddie.
  18. Don't follow the NRA much, is Trump writing their tweets now?
  19. Happy 76th (wow!) birthday to George Roger Waters.
  20. The fact that they haven't accepted any new posters in over a year may have something to do with it. Prolly a few dumbasses waiting for a confirmation email that will never come...
  21. Not specifically a song about death, but due to the fact that Denny sings it, I've always associated it as such, and it is one that will be played at my wake...
  22. Damn, just saw on facebook that a couple, who until recently lived here in Taylor, was on that boat. He was a world-class photographer and she was an Antarctic scientist. Didn't know them personally but he did a lot of photography for the local animal shelter to help get animals adopted. Looks like they were a great couple, sure we will hear many more heartbreaking stories like this. His blog Her blog
  23. Gonna put a vote in for Barney Miller. So many great characters on that show, and very well written. Dietrich was probably my favorite, but that's just barely, Fish, Wojo, Harris, Nick, all funny as hell.
