It was supposed to be moles like a champ. But if you guys on the OT want to run with it, I'm not going to edit it. She is a mole killer. She'll sit on a new mole hill for a few days until she finally marks and kills the bastard.
At least it6a start. Kids need to learn outside green grass and fresh air before they ever learn a computer or phone.

Some of you set a terrible example to your kids with your eyes plastered to a screen. Sunlight, green grass and fresh air are what people, but kids especially,, need to experience. Not a fricking computer.

Kids these days don't know how to use a compass, hunt or even learn how to be bored. Learning how to be bored and occupy time is an important skill in life. These young kids are passive participants in life. Content to spend it watching a screen live life for them.
The downvoters that have the sack to respond, just downvote will be interested to know instead of the ribeye, I had the Creste di Gallo at Giada earlier tonight. It was quite good.

But if youre ever at The Cromwell, go to the bar in the back and have a raspberry chocolate martini. You're welcome.
I don't but one of my inside/outside cats is a female that only likes me. She won't even let my wife pet her. My wife calls her my girlfriend.

She does only like me and I think she's a little badass. Kills 6' snakes, mice and molested like a champ.

That's the key. I've lived everywhere. From less than 1/3 mile to the beach on El Segundo, CS to middle of nowhere Oklahoma now. Born and raised in Missouri, then spent 20 years going wherever the Army sent me. Ft Hood tore cruising duty in the middle of nowhere southern Indiana.

I can be fine and make the best of anything. I really like where I'm at now with plenty of land and no neighbors, but if I had to move tomorrow then idadapt and overcome.
Eating at Giada tonight, not my favorite but the ribeye is solid. We have reservations for 12 at Herbs and Rye tomorrow. And Amalfi and Nobu on Monday.

I'm going to eat well the next few days for sure.
Isn't that the one in Circa downtown? Ive been there a while back to their rooftop bar.

I'm sure it's ok and I like downtown Vegas f9r what it is, but I'm sure as shite not getting in a pool in a downtown casino. I don't get excited about the idea of standing in a waist deep pool of drunk people's piss.

ETA--if we're talking about the same place, Circa's sports book and its set up is one of the best in Vegas.
Im in Vegas right now. We always stay at Caesars because my wife and her cousin are Seven Stars card people.

I've been to Vegas dozens of times and have never stepped foot in a Vegas pool. I don't go there for "resort" amenities. Hell the Choctaw Casino pool back home in Oklahoma has a better pool than pretty much any place on the strip.

We only go to Vegas to meet up with friends and party, gamble and eat at good restaurants. Not resort shite. If I wanted to go to a resort, I'd go to th3 Caribbean.
What a trash human. I don't care if he can hit a golf ball better than anyon3 else. Doesn't mean shite to me.

But putting other p3ople and families at risk because of driving impaired makes you a shitty person. Period.

I have no idea who those people are, not have I ever watched that show. But people riding crotch rockets through a neighborhood loudly is abhorrent behavior.

If that were "culture" riding around like that, people would be against it, but because it's some "star" then people think it's ok? bullshite.

You live in a subdivision (or at least are riding around in one), abide by the rules of social interaction and respect the people around you.

Or move to BFE and have no neighbors, like me, and do whatever the frick you want. In public, act like a respectable member of society. Not like a smooth brain with feral alcohol syndrome.
I no longer have a job and have no interest in making money even though I make professional level furniture and cabinetry.

But between woodworking and fishing, it keeps me motivated and productive. I look forward to going to my wood shop and making nice shite, whether it's a raised panel door, a cutting board or a bed.

I don't do any of it for profit, but for the satisfaction and personal challenge.

But most people left to their own devices for 24 hours a day would be a shitshow.
Forest worked Seidel. Davino damn near won in Sudden Death OT, but he won in the tiebreaker.

Power Lunch at Peter Luger (Caesars) is hard to beat. Get the burger. You won’t be disappointed.


The burger with a Figs and Sage drink is my go to lunch in Vegas. That Fig and Sage drink is one of my favorite cocktails around.

I'll be heading to Vegas next week and will be trying Amalfi for the first time.

Nobu is awesome, but I'd only suggest going there with people like my wife and her cousin who get a shite ton of comps.

For Italian food, Piero's is my favorite.
His team is probably going to break the team record for most points in the championship.

NCAA Wrestling Championships

Round 2 starts on ESPN at 6 pm to end out Day 1 of th3 3 day tournament. Now is where the wheat starts getting separated from the chaff. And by the way, this thread is about the sport of wrestling, not that fake arse wrasslin for people with FAS.
Barcelona is an absolute shithole. Probably my least favorite city in Europe.
I'm that way myself. So I do my hobby as a gig every once in a while when I'm not fishing ot taking care of the animals, I'm building furniture and cabinets.
Choctaw has several casinos, including a new one in Broken Bow, one in Atoka, Hugo, I think Grant and maybe Stringtown? But when anyone says Choctaw, it's the main one in Durant.

They've added more floor space and. 3rd tower. It must be at least 300k sf, but it's nicer than WinStar and like I said, the pools are much better.

Entertainment is about the same. Gilley's vs Tobt Keith's, pretty decent main stage acts, etc. Yo me the difference is golf vs pools. Again, in my experience, Choctaw is nicer.
Man I don't pay for drinks. They have Coke machines and I ring my own whiskey in flasks. A flask and a few edibles and it's all good.

The antes for suck. If I'm going to play blackjack, I play $50/hand. That's a dollar ante every time.

ETA--and the drink ladies in Vegas are so famn slow and far between that it's annoying as shite. A flask is always reliable.

Gambling, golf, food, entertainment. They get a lot of big name acts to perform there. It is about a hour or so north of DFW. Texans keeping Oklahomans employed.


Ive been to both WinStar and Choctaw many times. Choctaw is better in every way except for golf. Golfing is the only reason I go out to WinStar anymore.

Choctaw is almost as big, but nicer, has better food and the pools are much better. Both are about the same distance for DFW folks.
There's nothing noble about performing duties for "The Man". It's a job you get paid to do, not some pursuit of a higher purpose. Whether it be white collar or blue collar.

Me personally, I enjoy physical work because I like being outside and I can see tangible results from my labor. Making nice cabinets or furniture, I get to use my brain and my hands and can make stuff that will last for a long time.
