    I don't think so

    All HO scale, some very large steam engines that never made it out of the box

    As long as it isn't brass, I wouldn't feel too bad about selling some of that stuff off. 

  2. Any idea what our salary cap number is on portal spending?  This should be an off season where we spend big money on defense. The offense is going to be fucking awesome next year, and having Arch in a break glass in case of emergency situation means even if Ewers gets got for a game or two we still should be able to be plenty fine offensively. But, we need a freak on the edge, at least one solid LB, a difference maker in the secondary and you should be looking at a pretty legitimate chance to play in the playoffs and maybe win it all. 
    I’m not a big advocate on spending a lot of money to be average or good, but I am a fan of shoving your chips in when you have a legit chance to win it all. I hope we spend on difference makers defensively. If we want to snag a can’t miss War as well, ok I guess, but this offense is going to be so special. 

    NYCKOLES HARBOR.
  3. I've seen several videos of Ukrainian soldiers returning home on leave being greeted by family.  Think about it.  Ukraine has enough troops that they are holding or pressing the Russians all along the line, and they still can send thousands for training and let some have leave.  Meanwhile we read about Russian, LPR, and DPR troops who have been fighting since February 24th almost nonstop.  No wonder Ukrainian morale and confidence are so high.

    I don’t know about thousands. I worry about the numbers. A lot of the videos lately have a bunch of different accents. Regardless, these people are tough as hell.

  4. And let's be accurate here. The cop did NOT say he "thought" it looked like the car. He said it "was" the vehicle that fled from him days before. So the cop had justification for making contact, he just handled it in the worst way possible. I hope he gets attempted murder, reckless endangerment, unlawful discharge of a firearm, and whatever else they can charge him with. Probably won't, but they should.

    Is there video of that incident where the kid fled? I’m being sincere asking that question. Not a gotcha type question for either side.

    I have a moral dilemma.

    My dad was huge into model railroading. As a kid we had half the garage set aside. After he retired one of his bedrooms was dedicated to a layout.

    I got everything when he passed away. I have over 100 engines and over 1000 various cars and enough buildings to cover probably 100 square feet. One of my kids is mildly interested in it, we've set up a table in his room to put a layout on, but the other has no interest. 

    We went to King's hobby a few weeks ago looking for track and my kid is bragging about how much stuff we have to the guy working and his eyes light up and gives us a card of their buyer and says they buy everything they can get their hands on. I look at some of the prices for used items and am shocked by how high they are.

    Am I a bad person if I sell off some of my dad's stuff? I do want my kids to get some of it but there's so much it just seems to be a waste gathering dust in a closet.

     

    Is any of it brass?

    I've entertained high fencing our place.  I really love exotics, so my goal would be to bring in axis and blackbuck as well as the issues @fattyflattie brings up - neighbors popping younger deer.  I have hunters, so they'd love it.

    Lots of projects.  Never enough money....

    Blackbuck can be really shitty protein and corn bullies. Axis get along much better.

    it took one day for Amazon to get me this book, and one day to read it. I can’t express how this book explains absolutely everything about the current conflict - and the behavior and success of the Russian army. It also describes perfectly the sort of immoral, selfish, both bully and victim at the same time existence which is apparently the essence of the Russian soul.

    I can’t recommend it more highly.  It is the semi-autobiography of a young law student from Moscow who fought in Chechnya.   The culture of the military is so far worse than I imagined.  I almost felt sorry for him /them it was so horrible.   But I realized that there was zero will to change, they need to own all of this. 

     

     

    Thanks for the rec. Started it last night. Only about 80 pages in and can't believe how many "oh what the fuck" moments there have been so far.

  8. That would be great drive time. They could move Bob to Norms 10-12. He doesn’t need a co-host. He can just spout off the whole time. Move Corby to morning with the Musers, that way he can’t dominate the Mike and goes back to a yuck monkey, filling in Gordo’s stuff. 

    There it is. Done. We just made better decisions than the shit show that Cat came up with. And move mino back. He was a value add to hangzone. I can’t believe how bad they fucked this up. Davey got screwed being stuck with Bob.
  9. You move hang zone to drivetime and add gordo and I never check out 97.1. The freak is an asswhip for me because the app is so bad. And I really like listening to Davey flip the script on the hardline. Plus,  rhynes and sirois are still getting their feet wet. When I flipped over today I heard Julie and just went back to community quick hits. I'll let the freak simmer for a bit until I dip back in. 

    Dan, Jake and Gordon would kill any other group in the state. I live in Houston. Don’t follow the cowboys. I would listen to that everyday. Add Davey and I’m telling other Houstonians to listen.

    So what are the best three drone-launched grenade strikes in the first 8 months of this special military operation and why are they

    • Grenade dropped next to a guy taking a shit in the woods
    • Grenade dropped through the sunroof of a packed pickup truck
    • Grenade dropped next to a dude going down on another dude

    I think it was a sedan. And that one was incredible.

    I don’t get why Corby and the other ticket guys feel so butthurt and talk about Rhyner “destroying relationships”. Sure, it has to sting a little, but the iconoclastic, anti-establishment nature that led him to start the Ticket naturally led him to this point - and though iHeart is definitely the establishment from a radio industry standpoint, this station is definitely an upstart. 

    I can't remember if it was on here or reddit, but someone posting clearly had inside information. They had correctly called both Mike leaving and the reshuffling of Bob to hardline. The other thing they said was that Rhyner was fucking pissed about Corby complaining to Management that he was mailing it in. To see Corby go public like this and Mike go rogue kind of confirms this in my mind.
