    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    I just had the thought the other day when I heard someone mention the Madden video game "I wonder if he's still alive". I guess he was, but not for long.

    We think it was a racoon. They literally ripped a hole in the side of the house which was admittedly pretty old and rotten. We're building a new chicken house next spring because of that.

    A year ago something got into our chicken house and took the heads off of two ducks. We assumed they went for the ducks because they slept on the floor and the chickens were up on the roosts. Someone should tell them that the head is nowhere near the most delicious part of a duck.

    Road base will work fine I think. It's formulated to pack hard and not move when it's driven on.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    It was definitely a "bad Jimmy" game and I don't think those are ever going away. Unless the 9ers somehow magically go on a run and win the superbowl this year which is highly unlikely he's gone after this year and I'm happy about it. I don't know what Lance will be but at this point we...

    You can put the new chicken in a cage next to the others for a few days. Usually once the other chickens get used to seeing them for a while then they don't care about them anymore.

    As long as it's not freezer burned, it's fine. I've eaten 2 and 3 year old meat out of the freezer plenty of times. As long as it stays sealed, it doesn't go downhill at all IMO.

    You also want to consider if you want to get two $1000 dogs that each eat half a bag of dog food a week to protect a dozen $5 chickens.

    The biggest thing is to do two coats. Most really crappy paint jobs I've seen they just did one coat and quit. You really need a second coat unless you're really good. Beyond that, the main thing is to keep your roller loaded with paint. If it's making any noise while you're rolling it's...

    That's probably the most important factor in succeeding at a project like this. There's never been a better time to be a DIYer with YouTube and Amazon in your pocket. Be sure to take pictures and post updates so we can follow along and Uber can tell you you did a shitty job on the plumbing.

    We're finding the same thing. They're in a probably 2 acre paddock right now and they have rooted up a pretty good percentage of it. Much more than in previous pens so I don't know if there was something in the ground they wanted or what but they have ripped it up pretty good.

    My brother just did exactly what you're talking about, so it's possible. He actually did more than you're talking about, he did the walls/framing and roof as well. It's here on the ranch so I helped a lot with it and I also just did a pretty major remodel on my house. I will tell you it's a...

    I'm at the point where I don't want the opinion of anyone who has read the books a TV show I'm watching is based on even if I've read them myself. Is the show good or not? I don't give a fuck about the books.

    I ordered an 8 foot long cherry 2x4 from home Depot last year. Came via UPS in very good condition and cost $100. Even Home Depot and Lowes are 200 miles away from me and the two local lumberyards don't carry much for woodworking.

    I reheated some McDonald's fries the other day with my convection oven. They actually came out pretty decent, but I couldn't believe the amount of grease that came out of them. The entire bottom of the toaster oven sized cookie sheet I did them on was covered in oil.

    To you real woodworkers. I have attempted two projects with mortise and tenon joints and one I finished to a half decent result by sheer force of will and starting over multiple times and one I totally failed and gave up on. Both were to be gifts so I was under a deadline which is probably...

    One of the worst of the many bad things the low fat movement inflicted on us. KFC was the last holdout. They were still frying their pies until well into the 2000s but they don't even have them anymore. I think the TB Caramel Apple Empanada was fried as well but it's gone too.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    It was a more or less head-on collision. It was a 2/3 grown fawn who was apparently retarded. The deer went under the machine and I was lucky to stay on top. Broke the deer's back so it was dragging it's back legs. Before I tried the pliers I gave it my best karate kick to the back of the...

    I was on a 4-wheeler. I do have a pistol in my pickup glove box but don't carry anything on my person. FWIW, running over a deer on a 4-wheeler is pretty exciting.

    I could see putting the laundry down there but I think making it into a nice area to hang out would be pretty tough. I tried to make a guest bedroom in mine and the few guests that I put down there referred to it as "the spider bedroom". If it was mine I'd put the washer/dryer and a chest...

    Blunt objects are underrated as deadly weapons. I ran over a deer once and the only thing I had to put it down with was a pair of fencing pliers which have a little pussified hammer head on them. One whack between the eyes and the deer died instantly. I was pretty shocked but I've seen a...

    I used to live in an old house with a 7 foot basement and they had added in forced air heat back in the 80's so there was a big ass duct running right through the middle of it which brought it down to 6 feet. Every time I went down there with a hat on I was in severe danger of getting KO'd...

    If they want to trade him they have to at least look like they might want to start him next year or everyone will just wait for them to release him rather than picking up his contract and trading a draft pick.

    One of the times that cattle are vulnerable to coyotes is while they're giving birth. They can sometimes get a pinched nerve that makes them temporarily unable to use their back legs so they can't get up and the coyotes will eat the calf while it's halfway out of it's mother. Nature is pretty...

    Once again, this isn't based on personal experience, but the sheep ranchers I know don't regard llamas or donkeys as real protection. They will help but not on the level of a good dog. A lot of dogs just kill coyotes that come around. Some of them will kill your cats and dogs and your...
