  1. Suzuki RM250; Didn't realize my skinny butt was on a beast of a dragon until I came up on a wash board caliche road. Was already going crazy fast.... no, make that stupid fast (more appropriate) and tried to power through it before getting bucked off. Still don't know how I made it back to the house.
  2. Too damn hard for me to pick a favorite Sean Connery movie.... Doesn't matter if he was the Lead or Supporting roll, he just shined in every movie he participated in. Back in the day, he was smart enough to avoid being type cast, he didn't just go for the money. Molly Maguires and even the strange movie Outland or Outlander, something like that, were good flicks.
  3. Hope Texas doesn't shut-down, but being Flu season, there's always the real possibility. The Holiday family gatherings won't help anyone. The wife and I (my girlies too) will be doing doing it solo this year. Our eldest took-off back to college in Sept., she's taking 15 hrs., 9 of which require class attendance. So far so good. She's a sharp cookie, but I still worry about her... the wife more than me.
  4. Real men go to Crustybutt or run the gauntlet to Telluride; unless you have a condo or second home there... and which case makes me your new best friend.
  5. On the subject of COVID, looks like England will be shutting down for a month. Personally, not surprised and expect it to get a lot worse as the cold weather moves in. But since my chances of being hospitalized (NOT die) are 0.0000003897, I think I'll go for walk. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-54763956
  6. How old is your system? How did you determine the pressure drop? Do you know the volume of air your fan can push, duct sizes, lengths, etc.?

    CLEAN ENERGY

    As for WIND ENERGY.... I hate what it does to the landscape. I wouldnt live anywhere near a wind farm. They're noisy (Noise Pollution) and spook the wildlife. The doe's and smaller critters seem to adjust, by force because there's no where to escape, but the big bucks has a nervous system that can't hack the change. The money they offer is fruit of the poison tree. Too many ranchers buy into it, only to regret the deal afterwards. Their kids who don't want to work the land like their parents and grandparents see the easy money and get lured in. The wind energy company's are every bit as bad as Oil & Gas. Lying about how good and dishing out the bad once the deal is done. About the only place I find them somewhat appealing to look at is far far away for the backdrop on a ocean landscape, but damn if I'll ever want to fish around them. I'd rather be looking at an vast open space of water. Here's a little take on your state of the art battery powered stuff. This shyt is really bad, and the fossil fuels used to mine and produce it will blow your mind. Poisons the water and the air, kills animals by the ship load. https://www.wired.co.uk/article/lithium-batteries-environment-impact

    She needs to be careful on the tractor. I saw an episode on Seinfeld, and you can get gonorrhea from sitting on them for too long. 50 eh, I doubt it.,

    CLEAN ENERGY

    There are many examples concerning the ill's of "Green Energy".... not that I'm against alternative energy sources, because I surely am not. But there are serious concerns that the media ignore and I get tired of seeing these damn emails popup just because I attend a seminar or two. Want to find some killer "literally" examples, do a little research about the con's of battery power (lithium mining) and solar power (PV module byproduct waste/pollution). It'll blow your mind, or at least it did mine at these seminars. A lot of it occurs in other countries, namely India, China, Brazil, and it's damn strange that nothing about the pollution makes the news. At least I've never seen it on the teley.

    Not what you think..... Pick your poison carefully. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-02-05/wind-turbine-blades-can-t-be-recycled-so-they-re-piling-up-in-landfills
  11. she can tickle my keys any day.
  12. Hey you.... Razorback Boy..... yea know the fish usually start biting real good just before a storm blows-in. USUALLY but not always, it's the near by lightening strikes that spook me off the water.... but in this particular case I'd have to make an exception.
  13. Order the 16 piece Family Meal from Popeye's ASAP and start eat'in. Hey, hey hey.....wachate.... just because I identified a potential source to the problem doesn't implicate me in any way, shape or form.
  14. Someone has to inspect the groupies to make sure they're safe.
  15. Thanks.... and I just played around on youtube and feel like crap now... especially because I love love love Tom Petty
  16. What's a famous/popular song that includes a Rickenbacker?

    Android Auto

    I was driving to a location using my Google maps and the damn thing lead me in circles around downtown San Antonio, it got me really close, but missed by a block. Can't really blame google maps though, some of streets in downtown have changed and were shut down, but it's been a few years since then. In considering 20 years ago, when I was using a handheld Garmin (with a 2" screen) in Ohio trying to rush to the airport from a construction site visit, I was completely lost and followed the GPS instruction. I was on less than a 1/4 tank of gas and the damn GPS led me into a very bad neighborhood beneath some freeways. Wasn't sure I'd escape alive, but luckily I made it out unscathed.
  18. Pictures if you please.....

    Android Auto

    Yes, absolutely. I have an Note 8, and about 1 month ago I purchased my daughter the latest and greatest Note 20+. Two completely different animals, my daughters Samsung is a better phone/camera/hand held pc by far. She switched after years with Apple, as I did years before that. Apple sucks, I like their iPads which is the area IMHO where the own the market (Portable Tablets). Just look at what happened to Hunter Biden's Mac Pro..... I'll bet he's already switched.
  20. Here in South Texas, we speaks both Southern and Spanglish. Spanglish examples include: Wacha! = "Look!" Wachate! = "Look you!" Wacha Venado = "Deer Blind" Wachate Pendejo = "Watchout Dumbass" llanta Ponchado = Flat Tire Tu Madre Es Puta = Yo Mama's A Ho Es La Puta Madre = That's Damn Good
  21. No, no, no..... the fux capacitor is in Tijuana, and scientist still haven't found a guy that can handle it.
  22. Well shoot, I don't see it now..... at around 5am this morning I did like usual and turned on my phone (Samsung) and looked at the weather. A graphic at the bottom of the screen showed a hurricane in the gulf, well south of Brownsville, but not quite the Carib. It showed a projected path headed right toward your area (TX/LA border). Guess it was the previous hurricane and I still had sleep in my eyes, so never mind, and carry-on soldiers.
  23. What the hell are you doing over there in east Texas Carl? Please take down your hurricane magnet.
