    I have missed just 3 days of work over a 34 year period due to illness. The first shingles shot kicked my butt. My temp shot up to 103 and I had chills and sweats. I received it on a Friday and was out of commission Friday night and Saturday morning. Once my fever broke I was fine and dandy. The second shingles shot had no adverse effect at all.

    Yellowstone has become like a car wreck. You drive by it and try not to look at the carnage but you just cannot help yourself and you look anyway. I still enjoy the show overall but the Beth sequences are getting a bit tiresome but it is "the way" now with her. Just as Al Capone was taken down for tax evasion is Beth going to be taken down for committing an assault and for not all of the other nefarious things? Is she the new "Scarface"?
  3. Saving Private Ryan Watched it for the upteenth time. Still get emotional every time I see it. I still remember the first time I saw it at it’s release in the theater. The crowd was in complete silence as we left. With each viewing I see something or hear something new each time. Such a great movie.

    At the end I believe that Jamie becomes the hero and saves the ranch and puts Beth in her place but finds pity for John Dutton.
  5. From the 75650 and heading to Austin for the game! FIGHT!!!!
  6. This drives me crazy too. I hate a dirty windshield. I do a lot of road trips. My solution:
  7. I wish! Been on a business trip to the mines in Kalumbila, Zambia FIGHT!!!
  8. Already had one flight today from Kulambila to Lusaka.
  9. Sitting at the Lusaka, Zambia International Airport awaiting my flight to Johannesburg, then ATL, then SHV, then drive home to Texas. Will be home by noon Saturday to catch the game on TV! TEXAS !!!
  10. I am an avid collector of WW2 memoralia. I have a collection of well over 100 US uniforms (Ike jackets and 4-pocket dress tunics) from the ETO and MTO. Many of them have multiple names or other forms of IDs written inside the uniforms. So yes, uniforms were recycled for one reason or another. It was also common to pilfer for gear particularly in the colder climates.
  11. A college buddy of mine had the expectation that walking is a right and driving is a privilege. Therefore in his mind he had the right-away. He was hit crossing 21st Street between Gregory Gym and Jester and was hit by a motocyclist. It only broke his wrist and skinned him up a bit.
  12. There are some lazy mofos in this world. Just look at all of the people that ride scooters around grocery stores, etc. that magically get up and walk to their cars in the lot. Or people that cannot walk an extra 50 feet to put their carts in the cart corral.

    How long does Sutab stay in your system??!!! It has been almost a week now since I had my procedure and I am still having some lingering effects. I am afraid that I will end up making a posting in the Shart 2022 thread.
  14. Crap like this infuriates me to no end. My motto, and my kids know this well, is “it is better to be an hour early than a minute late”. When my daughter (no pics) graduated from UT in 2014 there were about 10 or so of us that went to the general ceremony (the McRaven speech ceremony) in front of the Main Building. The amount of people that they would let in was limited. Being that I was the only UT grad among the lot everyone looked to me for advice. Not having gone before and wanting to ensure that we all got in I declared what time “I WAS GETTING THERE” to make sure that I saw it. Repeatedly I was asked if we were leaving too early. I repeatedly told them to do what they want but this is what I am doing.
  15. Back home from the morning in the office. Starting the weekend early! TEXAS!!!

    Prepping for colonoscopy. A shitty day.
  18. mininghorn88 replied to Sbbruin's topic in Lulz
    I received an “all clear”! I do not have to go back for 10 years. The anesthesia sets in quick. I was in the middle of a conversation with the nurse when I felt it coming on. I told her that I was going to shut up before I said something stupid. That is the last that I remember before waking up in recovery perfectly normal.

    Having my first ever colonoscopy at the age of 56 this Tuesday (18th) at 7:20am. This thread has been a source of laughter and inspiration to get it done despite of having good intentions of sending in a Colonguard sample for the last 3 years. I do not expect anything negative just wanting to get it done. I begin my fast Monday (17th) morning. I am to take 4 Dulcolax tablets at 2:00pm followed by the first dose of Sutab at 8:00pm and the second dose at 11:00pm. Going to be an interesting day and evening on Monday!
  20. A few years ago, the company that I work for, was developing a piece of equipment for BNSF for use in their railyards. As a member of the development team I had the opportunity to travel to BNSF's corporate offices in Ft. Worth. Throughout their facility they have original artwork (mostly paintings) worth millions promoting rail travel through the Southwest. Many of the paintings were made into travel posters and were used through the 1950's. It was really cool to see and to reflect on the nostalgic and romantic time of rail travel to fascinating places with awesome landscapes prior to the popularity of air travel. Your images, particularly those taken in NM, reminds me of the visit and captures the feel of the travel in times past.
  21. Enjoying the cool morning and working from home today in the 75650. TEXAS!!!

    In my younger days my father described someone that was very ill and had become feeble and had lost a lot of weight. In his description he said that the person's head had shrunk into his shoulders. In my young mind I was trying to envision how someone could look like and retract their head like a turtle. This guy did not exist at the time.

    At an early age I was confused that when we drove while it was raining that we were always driving "into" the rain but when we would stop then there were times when the rain would be blowing in a different direction.
