That's a good price!! They retail here at a big lumber/farm/Preifert store for $29.50ea last time I checked, 2 years ago. (a big demand for them here to use in retaining walls.)

Well, not exactly. As good as it was, the movie blows that part way out of proportion. There were some discussions about it after project physicist Author Compton mentioned the possibility early on, but the people like Hans Bethe who was top of the chain in theoretical physics at Los Alamos...

When my father was young (he was born in 1918) he used to drive the school bus in or around Tyler Tx during depression era years, and Tyler is infamous for it's red sticky clay. The school 'bus' he drove was a horse drawn wagon. The few cars that were there always had trouble getting up and...

Yep. bought a fairly good one in the 1966-67 time frame as a teenager for around $20 and I thought that was high for a 16-17 year old working min wage. American Hat Co I think it was and kept it for over a decade. I shouldn't say this, but I was pretty rowdy in my mid 20s and that hat got left...

I call your feather filled hats and raise you

It was somewhat embarrassing but also funny to watch unfold..

Years ago, for whatever reason, I was watching the after movie credits at a movie theatre.. There are some odd names/descriptions in the movie industry's closing credits crawl.. I got curious about it all and had to look it up. Best Boy, Clapper loader Grip Key Grip Gaffer. Gaffers handle...

Within a few hours of the time of this post, in 1836, the Battle of San Jacinto was started and over with the bulk of the Mexican forces in flee-for-our-lives mode within 18 minutes and thus Texas became a nation, then a state. It changed the look and future of the USA forever. (and on this...

I previously said we didn't get any of that, but 40 minutes away to the East, Temple got 8" in a very short period of time. I only had 2 hills on my old place, but I have witnessed that ground weeping thing before and once, the top 8-12" of soil whole hillside just heaved downward in a big...

I spoke with my sisters in Cleveland and Conroe last night...they didn't get all that. Neither did we, tho it was a little stormy yesterday. I heard city of Houston is having some kind of water problems too???

I used a colander to view the eclipse, it strained my eyes. ------------------------- Don't forget to wear open-toed sandals on Monday So you can watch the eclipse in toe-tality. ------------------------- The eclpse is the best thing to happen, ever All weekend, nothing else in the news...

Very cloudy here, but was able to see it thru the breaks in the clouds. Totality was indeed dark and I suppose because it had been so long since I saw a total solar eclipse, I had forgotten how brightly the daylight returned. Intended to watch from the back yard but about noon, we decided to...

One has to be very very careful regarding any govt program, especially if it's a program a govt employee recommends.

I honestly don't know what to say. Even the officer's are laughing at this air passenger's hysterics.. https://viewfromthewing.com/dramatic-arrest-on-spirit-airlines-passenger-makes-passionate-plea-for-freedom-before-insulting-officers/

They don't arc up high enough. I have a clue who it might have been..

My rant for the day, April 3 2024 (actually, it began yesterday, which was a Tuesday) Actually Monday evening, when a promised thunderstorm failed to drop more than just a sprinkling of rain here. sigh... I live in a subdivision. An old country boy moved to town, still not found 'my place or...

I've welded a crapload of sucker rod and downhole pipe of all kinds with low hydrogen rods such as 7018. mild steel rod like 6011 6013 sure won't work. Mild steel will weld it, but about the time you get moved over to the next joint, you here the PING! of the joint ya just welded cracking at the...

cowman82, I had a neighbor named Jerry Faulkner about 2 miles downstream from me that was kind of like that. In drought and every winter, he just cut his river side fence and let his cows 'run the bottoms' which also meant they could come into people's yards. We all put up with it for the most...

So do I. But I've always been more a function over fashion kinda guy. Almost all of my barbed wire and high tensile barbless wire came from Van Buren Arkansas, but I think they (Bakaert)had a plant in Tn at one time. A long way from China. I saw several of those pipe and wire rope (cable)...

80 rods (traditionally) in a roll of barbed wire, which is also 1320 ft (1/4 mile). Just be glad ya never had to build a fence off a survey that was in Spanish Varas. I did. Varas differed greatly depending where you were located even in the US Southwest, but in Texas, as late as 1919, the...
