Nice shots NYC and Ychang. Going to do a bit of spamming. I have a few copies left of my last two books. “Shake ‘Em On Down” (railroader/graffiti/hobo) book is $35. I only have 4 left and they won’t be printed again. “+ / -“ is a hardcover and these have some bubbling in the inside cover. No issues with pages or the photos. All b&w images. I only have a few left. $30. DM me if interested. Heading down to the coast tomorrow. Hopefully I find something that interests me.

Es la verdad.

More budget or budget adjacent blades. I picked up another one of these Geo knives. $29. I had already posted about the blue one. I am kind of shocked by the quality for the price. They are chunky knives but the fit and finish are remarkable and the bald absolutely flies out. I discovered that this is the same as a Kubey (can’t recall the model), but $20 cheaper. Do I need two of them? No. Then there is this thing. I’ve been collecting pocket knives for a long time now and know most people hate on this brand as it’s not a knife company but a “lifestyle” company. The James Brand Folsom. I got it because frankly, I liked how it looked and it meets my criteria for an EDC knife. But for the price ($110 I think), it should have better blade steel and I don’t think the hole design is the best for deployment. Maybe I keep it or maybe I trade it. I also found something I had been looking for, but will wait until I get it back from the manufacturer (replacing a part, sharpening) to take pics.

Nope. Some good news for once. Our religious right minions on this site must be heartbroken.

Jesus seems cool, but he would have been an epic hero if he would have killed his asshole dad.

That commissary shit is one of the reasons Willow shut down his bbq truck in Houston. It broke down on him several times going to/from the commissary.

I have more connectivity issues with Citrix at the office than I do at home. Fuck my life.

Holy shit. That is crazy to me. You live 2.5 hours away. You should drive over one Friday (fuck work, they are letting you go). Get some Leroy and Lewis then go stare at chicks at Barton Springs.

Why does God need our love? Christianity is baffling.

The pleasure and the pain of sensory memories. Currently aural, but obviously taste and smell are strong triggers. Listening to music that takes me back 25 years. In the fucking feels, good or bad. Fuck.

I was rewatching the São Paulo episode of No Reservations and it made me all kind of emotional. I wish I could have one more Saturday lunch at my MIL’s house. An absolutely killer chicken lasagna. I have no fucking clue the authenticity of the dish. I know she is 100% Italian, one parent an immigrant, the other a first generation Italian-Brazilian. But holy shit, that lasagna. So now I am demanding my wife attempt to make it (she did before and it was close, but like all recipes, nothing is written down) and contacting a recruiter in Brazil. Saudades.

PSA: Since the rebranding to Max, now nearly all the Anthony Bourdain No Reservations and Parts Unknown episodes are are streaming.

I almost added that once they are old enough for critical thinking, they can go. But before teenage years, hell no. That is straight up indoctrination.

Hahaha. Got me. But no. Hell no. I reckon a fella would get his ass kicked for that.

As a father of two young girls (8 and 6), I am still developing my household 10 commandments. So far: 1. The Golden Rule 2. If they want me to pay for college, no Baylor or Aggy 3. Dad tax is non negotiable 4. If they have friends that live in a house with guns, my girls aren’t allowed to go there. 5. They aren’t allowed to go to church with friends. First, I don’t want them indoctrinated into cults, and second it mitigates the chances of them being sexually assaulted. Ana can post all the pics he wants about my stance on Christianity, but none will negate the fact that he is a cunt. Christianity is extremely bizarre.

I want to go to that place.

I think I count 4.

Chunky canebrake.

Wow. I had no idea. I think it was on the old site I was pretty critical of Lomax. I didn’t agree with all of his opinions, but he certainly had some ones that I agreed with and his legacy (and extension of his family) can not be overstated. RIP

Basically. Ana is still a cunt. I’ll wait for his witty retort (maybe a funny propeller hat jpg!???)

Today felt like a good day for a caipirinha with some abacaxi.

I mentioned this above. I don’t want to be a PCM. I just want to be a damn good project Planner that people know can get the job done. Get paid and go home with a good work-life balance.

Also, not everyone wants to be a manager, such as myself. I want to do my job the best I can, but have no interest in being a Project Controls Manager.

Lulz. I worked for a company a few years back that tried this dumbfuckery. The VP of our division who came up with this brilliant idea to have all of us sitting at trading tables thankfully jumped to another company and the new VP corrected the situation. Where do these people come up with these asinine ideas?
