They have so many great songs!


Was never a Fleetwood Mac fan growing up, I didn't hate it, but just wasn't anything I listened to intentionally.

A few years ago, my sister-in-law gets tickets to a FM tribute band (Rumors) coming thru town and invites us. I wasn't terrible excited. I actually really enjoyed it, I didn't realize I knew nearly every song and that the tribute band was really freaking good. Sounded just like FM.
Love this backstage clip of Stevie blowing the doors off Wild Heart, I think harmonies are coming from that Christine McVie

My complaint is they never fill the container. Always looks like someone has taken 5-6 off the top, especially in the drive thru.

That smell is probably dust burning off that has collected on the logs all summer



I pulled all my logs out this fall and washed them in the sink. You wouldn't believe how nasty they were.
Whenever college football finally morphs into whatever piece of crap it's trending to become, I could imagine a split to Pro jr league and more structured amateur student-athlete league. I hope some schools will return to the student-athlete model & play other schools with the same model. I hope Auburn is one of those teams.

The chase for the $, NIL, unlimited free agency is quickly killing one of my life long loves.
Billions? Maybe not, but I think there was an advanced civilization before the timeline modern archeologists have pushed. Göbekli Tepe, Sacsayhuamán, the LIDAR results in the Amazon, point to something outside of the narrative timeline.

I'm fascinated by some of the stuff Graham Handcock pushes. Even the occasional Rogan Podcast will explore some of it.

You can hit Reddit r/ToyotaTundra and see the engine issues in post after post. I'm not sure Toyota has in squared away yet. As a Toyota fan, I would avoid.
I installed some 10 years ago, pilot light, remote, no electrical switch needed. Don't be intimidated by gas, just make sure you leak check it with some soapy water.

From what I remember, I installed a new shutoff in the fire place, flex hose to the log coupler. Pretty easy, other than I had to shut off gas to the house, relight the water heater pilot as a result.

Takes a while to purge air and light the pilot light on my logs every year.

Baby girl got to come home this morning: discharged 18 hours after what was, for lack of a better description, emergency brain surgery. Amazing.


Glad she's home!

When exactly is that going to happen?



A little over 300 days from now.

Man, that's a lot. Hope you're making it through ok & happy birthday.

2026 looms large for me, it's been a target year for a long time. Finally hanging up the military after 28 years, youngest graduates HS (AU bound) and we'll be empty nesters again after 27 years of raising kids. Gotta get a job, which is an intimidating prospect. God's been good so far, counting on His guidance thru the changes.

Side note- only cruise I've been on was my senior cruise after HS graduation. 985 HS grads on a boat for 4 days...guess how that went!


Must have video for any trailer/mobile home thread:

So, snake pants and boots... now apparently, I need a snake turtleneck? Dang, nature.

Good bigs and guards aren't going to be lining up to play for SP.


Yep, and if there's no NIL $ to buy the talent, we're sliding back down the SEC.

Bruce had difficulty with NIL $, I'd imagine if Bruce had trouble raising $ for AU basketball to be competitive recruiting, Steven has no chance.

Not steep enough. Death for repeat offenders.

Did this exactly last year and it was incredible. I've got 20lbs on prime rib in 133 right now for dinner tonight.
