  1. Newest addition to household. In May last Scottie passed at 13. 1st time since have been together 0 dogs. Have always had at least 2. Since I started new job figured wait till Nov.-Oct. after we took some vacation. Last 2 months have been sad. Could not wait anymore. Got these 2 from a rescue that got them from puppy mil. 1 is 3yr and has had at least 2 sets of puppies. Other is supposed to be 1 but I honestly think about 6-7 months. Rosie is youngster and is fearless. Roxie is older and at 1st was pretty reserved. 5 days with us and she is finally getting to be a pup. LOTS of play time with us and between themselves. No potty training needed. Doggie door training needed about 5 minutes and a couple of treats. Wife was a little leary cause her sister had Jack Russell years ago and was nutzoid. These 2 keep each other entertained a lot. Next up, training worlds smallest frisbee dog. Life is good again thanks to them.
  2. How did you cook them? Cast iron skillet? Picked some up and brought back to Dallas and going to cook on Sunday. We love pastor tacos and will add some fresh pineapple when we cook them.
  3. No. There are 500,000 errrr, 250,000 ughhh, 100,000 nope, 25 Russians are going to invade Finland any day now. Putins not kidding this time.
  4. No it’s not. Unfortunately. I left the company I worked at for 15 years due to record profits and lower bonuses. But hey they got listed on S&P 500. Company I went to just handed out record bonuses and 1.5% “inflation” bonus. But of course it’s not a USA based company. Go figure.
  5. So lost our last blonde Scottie passed 2months ago. We have always had at least 2 dogs since we’ve been married. We “thought” we would wait till I had vacation time with new job before looking for new. Did not work. I put closure in doggie door and wife pulls it out and says it’s just not right. We’ve decided no more pure breeds cause of health issues. Start sending out requests and dammed if small terrier’s mixes are hottest thing on market. Adopt a scared 10 month old mix and also hoped to get his brother. Brother got adopted so that is a no go. He is now sitting in wife’s lap and throwing his chew toy around. 26 years of 2 dogs minimum and no dogs just isn’t right. Bad thing is rescue we adopted from keeps sending me texts “hey what about this dog”. I might get a little upset but damn if foster dog parents aren’t doing the greatest job ever. Wife has suggested we “foster” and I say no. You can’t expect crack addicts to go cold turkey.
  6. WTF? You need scene control if your wife is controlling everything. I’ll let you know how to do that as soon as I consult with mine.
  7. Give you 85 score. But dammit you have to toast the gotdamn bun. Toasted bread always make better sammiches. Except BLTs
  8. On my pellet I now use mesquite pellets ( I know only about 20% mesquite) and in tube have a mix of hickory chips and pellets. It burns faster so re-up about once an hour but seems like a lot of smoke taste.
  9. One of life’s great questions. Are all Oklahoman’s, noodlers or all noodlers, Oklahomans.?
  10. Shaddie replied to Washpark's topic in Food and Travel
    Have the Texas Twinkie?
  11. Where are the strippers and monkeys?
  12. So, it’s always about someone’s skin color with you. Shocked I am not.
  13. Good stuff, except the ratio of meat to cracker needs to be about 3 or 4 to 1. Quit being stingy with yourself. You deserve it.
  14. Ding, ding, ding. Just left a large US corp that for last 14 yrs always made good money and stock price stayed good. 2 yrs ago new CEO. B to B type company. Stock price is 1st thing he talks about. New leader for 6 of our companies kinda under same umbrella. Wouldn’t allow any new hires. Cut R&D on some existing products. Cuts out “special” products that we made plenty of for certain customers that needed them. Takes away all “branding”. All products under same name now. Only 1 product in my group is absolutely no. 1 in its class. Lots of of competition in all other categories. Stock is now on S&P 500. Great. Except your bonuses have been slashed 75%. Sales can only discount 4% before seeking corp approval. Their whole thing is “concentrate on top customers who make up 60% of sales.” They are managing by spreadsheet because they are too lazy to get in the weeds with us and really figure out who buys the products, how are they used, and what is each of our companies rep in its field. The c guys and board don’t care cause “cash in baby” is American way. Looked up leader of our group and he has never been at a company longer than 2 years. What could go wrong. 1999. Motorola. Will say name cause they are no longer in the field. Foreign company announced moving into Austin building a fab. I worked at Mos13 as a vendor at the time. All work had stopped at this plant cause down turn in business for 5 months. Company across town keeps filling up fab with equipment. Their end products market price drops 70%. Do they care? No cause they are looking long term. Guess who is around and guess who’s name will only be remembered by us olds for a very thin phone way back in the day.
  15. Just a story from a customer in Austin. 6 months ago losing engineers and techs to Tesla. 1 month ago same customer says he is getting them back cause Tesla wants 12hr days 6-7 days a week.
  16. Luby’s. Get there before 5.
  17. I damn sure wish somebody had pulled a gun and pointed at his “security” and said quit assaulting this man or I will shoot. Let’s see his reaction to guns then.
  18. Don’t sweat it. Pretty soon your SO will ask “you’ve been home for 2 weeks. Don’t you have somewhere to go.” (meanwhile Pablo is also asking same question.
  19. I’m a 40-45 weeks a year. Monday out Friday or Thursday back. 6 times a year I wouldn’t sweat it. 45 times a year adds up to take least painful options. Also Admirals club is great for a rest and during irrops they know all the tricks to get u something different. Unless u can buy 1st every trip the pain adds up over a year.
  20. Depends how much you fly. I’m an every week guy so non-stops are 1st. 2nd is upgrades. 3rd is Admirals club. 4th is free international flights to more than Cancun and Belize etc, etc. Love is closer to the house but that 20 minutes becomes 3-4hrs of torture.
  21. Cheese hinge: That’s on you for not having enough “stuff” to make it fork or spoon only. Silverware/Fancy plates: When at distant relatives for holidays and next morning you pile about 6 layers of leftovers on said fancy plate and pop in microwave and host screams at “what are you doing” You calmly reply “I am shanking, what are you doing.”
  22. In the Steel Shank thread there is no wrong (except mayo). There is only right and righter.
  23. Lunch becomes tacos. Leftover crappie, pineapple slaw, corn on the cob. Cilantro lime sauce and japs.
  24. Hadn’t watched Amazon in awhile so figured it out.
  25. WTF Do I have some weird setting on my tv? What is all the fucking narration shit? I figured 1st 5 minutes ok. But this seems to on and on.
