    On the PM subject, good organization and communication is really an underrated skill. Very few are good at it and I appreciate it when they are. Otherwise I agree with what has been said.

    If we're going to be embarrassingly shitty I can root for ISU. Nice win. Now how far to pick you all in the tournament.

    Our house has some Ring cameras outside when we moved in so I added on the alarm package which I installed myself on all the doors and downstairs windows. We pay $10/month for video recording without monitoring. I've never really seen a lot of value for the monitoring.

    I think I'm going to get a Makita track saw for my next big purchase.

    The people who complain on Facebook about paying a boatload of taxes never actually pay a boatload of taxes.

    It is nowadays, most people barely have a "retirement" much less a savings. Was going to say that while it's not a 'fortune', it's many multiples more than what the average person will ever have. Which is kind of crazy to think about.

    The best is when you ignore them and then they respond 'nevermind, I figured it out!'. You're welcome. Glad I could help.

    I'm a sucker for all things walnut. We have a walnut top for our kitchen island. Just ordered another one and am using this one for a coffee table. Considering doing the formal dining table in walnut also, but it may be too much. Of course I'd have walnut floors if I could afford it.

    Almost drove home from the Houston Rodeo last year because of this. What a nightmare.

    Been there man. It sucks balls, but is worth it. Don't skimp on the prep, primer, or paint because you don't want to do that shit again.

    For me, personally, I'd rather have no tub, larger shower, and more storage in the master. I think one tub is required by the kids bedrooms, but other than that they are useless. We've never used ours even once.

    Finally spent the money on a new pump and installed it tonight. The old one has been loud as hell since we bought this house, but kept running so I tried to ignore it. The new one is night and day difference in sound. Will be nice to be outside and not hear that bullshit anymore.

    Oil Plus 2C followed by Universal Maintenance Oil

    Here are a few after just the single coat for comparison. Different lighting, but still noticeable. And one sanded to bare wood.
  15. Okie State
    Yeah I didn't mind the single coat look, but I could see how a lot of people would think it looked unfinished. Probably looks better on some wood species than others. I was worried the maintenance oil would bring the sheen up too much, but it's perfect. It is more matte now than it was when I took those pictures. Maybe somewhere between matte and satin.
  16. Okie State
    Highly recommend the Pure color on black walnut. It looks amazing. The maintenance oil really gave it a professional looking finish too. Also, the sanding is really important. Tons of videos out there, but I used multiple grits all the way up to 180 and water popped the grain between each. Maroon pad by hand before the final maintenance oil coat.

    Always looks different in pictures, but our kitchen table was long overdue for a refinish. Used Waterlox before and was never really happy with it. Tried Rubio Monocoat this time and love how it turned out. One coat of finish and one coat of maintenance oil. Super easy to use and dries to a nice matte/satin sheen that still looks like wood rather than a plastic coating like some do.

    You should be grateful to your executive overlords for allowing you such a generous perk. I know I am.
  19. Okie State
    Yes, agreed. I have two girls and worry about the body shaming bullshit. Morbidly obese is not okay in my opinion though. That ain't genetics (yes I'm a doctor...no I'm not) and it's a lack of self respect. Teenage girls and everything they have to deal with scare the shit out of me though so not looking forward to that stage.

    Being unhealthy should never really be celebrated regardless of whether or not it 'makes you feel good'. I don't understand that mentality.

    I'll never forget the day I got a nice unexpected bonus at work only to get a text from my wife that the dashboard on her car lit up like a Christmas tree. Ended up costing me way more than the bonus.
  22. Okie State
    Or contact me in any way. Even if it's directly related to my job responsibilities. Fuck them.
  23. Okie State
    And they will get 8-9 spots. So, again, what the fuck is the point of what you posted?
  24. Okie State
    Not you. I still don't understand what the point of Statmans post was. Seems like the BIG and SEC would be content having all the money, all the recruiting, all the prime TV spots, and 75% of the playoff spots.
  25. Okie State
    It sounds like maybe he thinks the BIG and SEC should be getting more than 8-9 of the 12 spots?
