  1. My parents gave my older brother and me the naming rights to a white cat we had just got. He was about 5 and I was 3. Mom helped us by recommending that we think of things that were white like the cat. My brother and I wouldn't compromise so the cat was hence forth known as "Cotton Ice Box"...
  2. I have a friend that works at Big Daddy Unlimited which is an online buyers club. He tells me that they have good inventory on firearms and ammunition. You can get a trial membership for something like $1 for the first month if you want to check out their prices.
  3. Pouring in 78735. Dog not happy. Lawn is.
  4. He was getting by until he wasn’t. Kicked the can down the road until he couldn’t.
  5. My son finished his engineering degree this summer primarily because he had to move home and subsequently got his shit together. Pre-COVID he was on track to fail out or drop out. Down side? We now have an unemployed 23 year old living with us.
  6. A 'friend' needs hundreds of gold and silver coins apprised and sold. These are "standing liberty" 20 dollar gold coins from 1900-1920's as well as Mexican gold coins. This is all being done legitimately through a family corporation and needs to be professionally inventoried, valued, and sold. They need three independent appraisals to satisfy family shareholders. Does anyone know how to go about this? This doesn't sound like something you do at the local pawn shop. Thanks.
  7. BottleRocket casa still kicking it old school 1970’s style. I spend all my free time sitting in the drink. Love it and couldn’t live without one.
  8. I'm sorry. You're not alone though.
  9. ,,,, Said no 18 year old ever
  10. Yo moma so fat if she were a planet she would have other smaller planets orbiting around her!
  11. We just spent a few days in a river cabin rental in Leakey. This is the view from the backyard. I always take the long route from Austin through Hunt and Vanderpool.
  12. TwiceHorn - last year I decided I'd turn over my IRA to Fidelity to manage for a 1% fee. Otherwise I'd be in one of their accounts like the Fidelity Freedom 20xx (insert year here). Am I throwing 1% away unnecessarily? That's 1% of my account balance per year to be clear. My manager has called me twice since the Covid volatility and assured me that my account was outperforming the "whatever the hell comparison he was making" baseline. He's young and would likely be selling cars if not working for Fidelity.
  13. So just look for the yellow looking thing that’s shaped like an Indian arrow? I’ll be out in Leaky, TX this weekend and hopefully will be prime viewing.
  14. It’s not cool calling a 5 year old names by any means. But come on man, she pretends she’s a cat. Kind of setting herself up for that one. Sorry had a rough day. Enjoy your beer. You earned it.
  15. I’ve been looking at buying a used Jeep Wrangler for several months at Carvana and have noticed that about 95% have a status of pending sale. Is there a shortage of used cars due to C19 or something? What gives?
  16. It will become the $5,000 RV you originally sought. Full circle.
  17. Happy Birthday Wulaw. The whole year will be one long present. The kids are present. The wife is present. The dog is present. You are all present in that little space. Livin' the life. I think what you are doing is awesome.
  18. Dang. I wish I had seen this sooner. I just bought a 24” Dell from Staples for $75. But it only came with a power cord and HDMI delivered for free a day later. They made me put it on a credit card.
  19. Pos rep for the best thread title I've seen in a long time.
  20. In addition to wheelchair accessible toilet you might also want to think about a wheelchair accessible shower. This may necessitate making the entire bathroom a 'wet space' with floor drains.
  21. My FIL has a 5-600 acre ranch between Llano and Fredericksburg that goes back two generations. Three if you count my wife. He’s ‘retired’ now and runs about 100 pair cow/calf operation because it’s a passion of his. He leases to hunters which supplement the taxes and other expenses. We call it the ranch but he calls it home. He says that when I show up to help it’s like losing two good men.
