Mike Gundy's House.....
Not sure if it's been said, but the house is in Oklahoma. So it sucks.

Not my personal style, but I'm a big fan of personalizing your house however you want to. Fuck the idea that everything needs to be done so some boring couple can buy it from you 10 years from now.

Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
Ha, my Dad installed ours himself and we had no coins. Definitely didn't have a glass backboard though.

Why would anyone pick an 850 credit score in this scenario? That's hilarious if people think that's some kind of flex.

2024 Big 12 Baseball Thread
The wind was blowing like crazy yesterday, right? Surely that was a factor with that ridiculous bullshit score.

Ha, fuck no. I'm going to strip it down and see if I can get it flat. If not, I'll have it planed I guess. Doing a huge coffee table for our living room with it.

I need to build some kind of bench with storage for shoes in our mud room. That might be the first project. Also something for toy storage in the kids area upstairs. Plywood boxes with poplar face frames. Maybe some drawers if I get confident. We'll see. I need that track saw before I attempt any of this though.

Nice. I've never built any cabinets, but may try to in some of our closets for practice. I watched the guy build ours for the kitchen and he made it look easy, but I'm sure it takes a while to learn the tricks.

Long overdue project nearly finished. My original design for the island had these legs and skirting. I messed up and let the first walnut top I ordered sit unfinished for too long and it cupped. Just got this new one so I could finally finish all the details. It's a mix of poplar and soft maple so I'll be painting it. In hindsight I would have done it in walnut or white oak. Oh well, glad to be on the last few steps of this one.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
On the early calls topic, my office phone is forwarded to my cell phone for when I work remotely. I don't get a lot of calls so usually not a problem. Occasionally one particular person calls me at 6:30 AM. It's never urgent and I never answer. I'm always up around 5:30 AM so it's not waking me up, but why would anyone ever call anybody at that hour unless it was a medical emergency?

Earthquake in NYC
That's right. I was at the game I think. Everything 10 years ago or older blends together into one blur.

Was that during the KSU Kirk Herbstreit game?

Earthquake in NYC
I was in my office on the 12th floor when one hit in Oklahoma years ago. It was a surreal experience that I'm okay with never experiencing again.

77450. Houston 'burbs. Lots of roof replacements lately and also all of what has already been said regarding weather risk and skyrocketing rebuild costs.

Looks like ours went down in Harris County. I'll take it.

Rates are absurd in my neighborhood and from what I've been told it's just going to get worse. I don't see how any of this is sustainable.

Beer 2024: Your mom’s January won’t be dry.
This reminds me of going to the liquor store in college and picking up some 'imports' to try new things.

Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max crashes killing 157
Seems like a job for McKinsey. They'll fix 'em right up.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Pulled up next to a restored one in dark green at a stop light today. Such a badass vehicle and it sounded perfect. Just a Dad cruising with his son in the back. I was jealous.

Ha, fair enough. Trim and finish work is definitely my favorite part. I love all the details.

Not trying to be disingenuous here. I did not make the top. I just finished it. Wish I had the tools to make something like this.
