Reagan said the most terrifying words in the English language are “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.” Instead of asking our lawmakers to do something for us, how about asking them to STOP trying to inhibit our liberty, Free Enterprise system, prosperity, independence, and culture as free Americans. Allow us to DO STUFF FOR OURSELVES. Stop robbing us blind with taxes and forced welfare, get out of the way and let small business and competition flourish. Stop propping up companies that FLEECE us, and let us dictate their failure through our purchasing decisions. It is NOT the government’s role to make sure big companies don’t fail… ITS OUR DECISION!!!! The meddling the government has had on our true capitalistic economy has been the single greatest cause of how incredibly expensive it is just to live day-to-day now. Our government needs to stay in its lane and stay out of our business!!! Defend us and monitor trade… we don’t need its oversight of our families and livelihoods.

You summed it up perfectly.

No but I did walk into a presentation with a customer one time with my pants unzipped. Stood in a conference room in front of about 6 people for about 10 minutes. When I finally sat down at the conference table, I glanced down and saw my suit pants were unzipped. I wanted to crawl under the table. Closed the deal though so don’t guess it wasn’t bad.

Brookshires had sirloins for $5.99 lb a few weeks back and I loaded my freezer down. Not my preferred cut for steaks but I’ll take what I can get.

Smoked two racks of ribs
Homemade potato salad
Smoked baked beans (from dry beans- nothing from a can- my own recipe)

Had both my kids with spouses and my 4 grandkids over for supper. Was a great day to spend on the back patio.

The late teens model (not sure what year it started/ended) had a known issue with defective lifters. They don’t get lubricated properly while cranking and also if you idle for long periods. If not caught soon enough can cause damage to your cam. I have a 2016. I had this issue last year. Truck had 108,000 miles on it. For what it was going to cost to rebuild the top end, I opted for a whole rebuilt crate motor. Other than that have only had to replace waterpump which isn’t that big a deal. Have really enjoyed the truck otherwise. Plenty of power and get up and go. Tows my travel trailer no problem and the best factory sound system I’ve ever had.

I’ve told this story on here before but short version is I danced all night with this chick at the club, we had already kissed some and she was already dropping hints about me giving her a ride home. While sitting at table with small group of mine and her friends she mentioned one of her relatives in Coushatta. Turns out it was also one of my relatives. Started comparing notes and figured out we were 2nd cousins and just hadn’t seen each other since we were both small kids. One of my buddies immediately moved in and by end of the night he ended up taking her home. They eventually got married and have been for about 34 years now.

Grew up hunting from a young age, at some point in my late teens/early twenties I realized just how mind numbingly boring that shite is.

Same here. Looking back I think it was more that I enjoyed being out in the woods with my Dad more so than the hunting itself. All the time before season getting things prepped. Once I was grown and moved out and was doing most of that and the hunting by myself it just really became quite boring to me. When my son got old enough I started back up with him and have very fond memories of it but again, once he was grown and gone it became boring again.
Will say I and very grateful to my SIL who is a hunting addict and keeps my freezer stocked full for me.

Season one was fantastic. That’s about all the good I can say about this series.
