I bought a pint of that. I've been a Dr Pepper drinker for well over 50 years, but I wasn't a fan. After eating a few bites I gave the rest away and bought some more Blue Bell Tin Roof.

You need to import some fire ants. They'll take care of the seed ticks for you. We had seed ticks bad when I was a kid, but it's been 40 years or longer since I heard of anyone getting into them.

When I smell a steak cooking on the grill I get hungry and my mouth starts watering. Does the same thing happen to vegans when they mow their yard?

I'm late to the party, but I bought a Craftsman battery powered saw a few years ago. It's not very heavy, and has held up well.

If you're referring to my post above, what part of rounding a corner to find black cows in the middle of the night at midnight did you not understand?

I had a wide variety. The first one was when I was heading to Blinn one morning during my short college career when a guy driving a 4-wheel drive Ford, with the spare tire mounted in front, pulled out of his driveway in front of me. In my little brain I thought surely he'd see me, so I pulled...

I forgot to mention it at the time I posted that, but it has well over 270,000 miles on it, which is about 100,000 miles more than I've put on any other vehicle I own. Of course in my younger years I'd wreck them long before they got to that point.

I don't find it hard to digest. I was very close to my father, who I lost in 2007. I dreamed of him often for a number of years, and still do occasionally (though there was only one where I remembered that he was gone before I woke up).

That should have said horned Hereford sired calves, not polled. I apologize. I didn't see yours.

I agree that horned calves will get discounted at sale time, but assuming those cows are predominantly Angus then polled Hereford sired calves should still be polled. I used horned Hereford bulls on black Brangus cows for years and never had one with horns showing at weaning age (so I think I...

I don't disagree about using a horned Hereford bull. I said so above. And it wasn't Warren who suggested Brangus.

About 40 years ago I'd ride along with a couple of older men when taking cattle to the sale at Hockley (it's been closed for probably 30 years now). There was a little cafe close to the auction that had beer, and served a pretty good chicken fried steak, so we'd go there for lunch, then go...

If you're in the south or southeast, where you won't get docked for some ear, a Brangus bull would be a good option, and will keep the calves black. Otherwise, a Hereford would be good. You'd probably get mostly black calves (with varying amounts of white on the faces, of course) anyway. I...

I have a 2006 Chevy, and the sending unit has been out for years. I use my trip odometer for a gas gauge. I reset it every time I fill up with gas, and them make sure to get more gas before it gets to 300 miles.

Late breakfast this morning. Pan sausage with poblano peppers, Fresno peppers, and onions, then with two yard eggs scrambled through it and topped with cheese, on HEB tortillas with bean dip (because I didn't want to heat a whole can of refried beans).
