La Diabla roja!    No one sees one and lives.  All that's found is a naked body with hundreds of stab wounds and the biggest and happiest smile.

 

Well if ya have to go, go with a smile!

    The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired.  If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed."  At the 3:00

I've seen that pelicula.

If you're a vampire, you go back and drink her blood. If you're a masked wrestler, you save the brunette chick who has a lot more money.

back to the bbq and sauce thing... the way to argue it is this.. Good bbq doesn't need sauce. But some sauces are damn good. Salt Lick has mediocre bbq, but good sauce. I like their sauce. I'd put their sauce on better bbq that doesn't truly need it, but fuck it I like that sauce so why not. Maybe I'll have one bite with sauce, one without. It's like fucking a redhead and a Mexican chick in the same meal. 

That being said, your sauce better be good. Most suck. 

This. I don't normally put sauce on my brisket. But I love the next day pulled pork sandwich with bbq sauce and cole slaw. But it has to be really good BBQ sauce

All wireless headphones? All headphones? Just AirPods? What’s the problem? I listen to The Ticket while I’m out doing things, I do that on my phone app through wireless headphones. If they were made by Apple you’d be pissed about it?

HEB allowing sacker school students to graduate with less than a 3.6 GPA. This shit is far too important to the morale and future of our nation to continue with the "Everybody's a winner, everybody's a sacker" bullshit mentality. Make. It. Stop. Have 'em gather carts until they're ready for the big show.

I made a couple modifications to a benchrest trigger. Putting it all back together, a couple of slave pins to hold it together while I get it into place in the receiver. I dropped one of the final assembly pins. I saw it land by my feet and bounce to the left but I'll be damned if I can find it. I ran a magnet-on-a-stick under the bench and all over the floor without any luck. Shit. I'm sure it will show up after I've already made a replacement.

#7717

I must have kicked it. It was across the room from my bench. Of course I had already cut another pin to length. It's uncanny how small parts always scurry away when dropped.

I can't wear those goddamn things anyway. I think my ears are shaped differently because the left ear can hold them with no problem but my right ear I can't put them in without this weird suction feelings taking over. I can't hear a fuckin thing past the pressure and I look stupid wearing only one of them.

I've never liked any kind of ear bud. I don't want to stick anything at all in my ears, thank you very much. I don't care how goofy they look, give me a good solid pair of noise cancelling headphones that completely cover the ear, and make you look like you work on the deck of an aircraft carrier.

not trivial, just surly.

I had to replace two side marker lights Sunday on one of my trailers. When I returned home with the lights, I then noticed one of the packages was opened (it was a return).  Apparently they didnt like the fit (wires were used) and returned it.  But, they decided to keep the shiny new screws that came with it.  I didnt have the exact size, so back to the store to get another. RAGE

I hate this. Home Depot is the worst. They will just take returns, try to tape it up so it looks new, and put it back on the shelf. I have to thumb threw the first two or three products to get to a fresh one.

That all starts with the surliness caused by terrible wiring work and cheap lights on most trailers.  Big Tex is the worst. Ranch King is not bad.  The best wiring work and lights I've found are on my 28' PJ gooseneck and 20' PJ dump trailer.

Ha! You are on point.

I have a friend that took a job out of college for Porter Cable back in the day when they were usa made.

His crap schedule as a noob was hitting the dfw HD and lowes stores. Shelf work, returns, etc.

He said at least twice a month a store would take back an expensive tool and inside the box was rocks or scrap steel.

I have a 16 foot pipe trailer and a single dovetail from big tex, among others.

Bigtex employees certified welders and makes pretty much the best trailer made. And you pay for it like franklin bbq.

Both of my trailers has black zip ties and rubber grommets going through any steel.

I’m at the ranch messing with cameras and feeders while also shooting a few pigs. The plastic bag I had two cameras and two memory cards broke this morning.  The cards are in the little plastic sleeves.  It broke and dropped right by my feet.  I cannot find one of the cards.  I put it in there one minute before the bag broke

We're playing softball the other night.  Foul ball popup over the netting, girl is sitting their listening to her headphones while we're screaming "Heads up!!" at her.  Doink.  Then she raises her arms like we should have warned her.  

F off regard!!!

Speaking of air pods, headphones etc.  I hate seeing people drive with them in.  Makes me surly.

Yeah, being able to HEAR what was going on around me in traffic has saved my bacon a couple of times over the years. Emergency vehicle sirens, train horns, tires squalling from folks locking up their brakes. Unless it's on the open road I pretty much leave all of the noisemakers off. Close calls will re-educate you that way.

#7740

When I think about something perfect that is indeed trivial and it does make me surly but I forget to post it right away and the thought disappears from my consciousness for eternity.

Took my daughter to school this morning. Had to wait about ten minutes before they opened the gate to the drive way where you drop off the kids. Cars line up along the curb. Dipshit behind me in a jacked up truck that's probably never been off pavement had his head lights on, shining directly into my rear view and left side mirrors.

Same thing on the ski slopes.  I wanna hear what's going on around me with other skiers, and boarders.  Headphones = a potential Darwin Award nominee.

This is not trivial. It is possibly greatly life impacting. I find that 95% of chairs and couches are terribly designed. When you sit down in them, you find that they are impossible to sit in normally. There’s always something wrong.

For example, the back is so far back from the front edge of the seat that you’d have to recline way back and curl your back to make contact with the back, leaving you in a slumped, painful position. Or, the height of the seat is either so short or so tall that you can’t comfortably sit, especially with your legs crossed.

1. People who hog the fucking left lane on the highway and do not drive at a speed that is equal to just about everyone else.

2. People, in the right lane, who are being passed on the highway who then decide they must speed up to make your pass more difficult.

#7749

A couple:

New bath towels or the weird non-absorbent ones that just push the water around as you're drying off.  You all know that one towel that fucking sucks.

Metro busses driving on Westheimer...particularly in Montrose.  Lanes are too narrow and and those fat bastards drive right down the fucking middle of the 2 lanes.

#7750

That reminds me of the joke in the Army about the towels.

Issued towel, OD green, waterproof, one each.
