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

    I love watching him. He will never get close to winning as much as Brady but Rodgers is the best passer I've ever seen.

    Well, we know the second part is true. He's amazingly consistent at being wrong about everything.

    Weather

    It's been below zero for close to a week now. Finally broke this morning and it's +21 now but it's supposed to be cold again after tomorrow. Got a gelled up tractor, frozen cattle water all over the fucking place. Nothing works when it's that cold, and of course what you want to be doing when...

    The Witcher

    I had the same problem, especially in the last couple of episodes. Kept turning it up during the dialog and then turning it back down during the action.

    Glad to see I'm not the only black licorice fan here. As a kid I was the one picking all the black jelly beans out of the bowl at Easter.

    Picked up a half gallon of this stuff and it's pretty good but it makes your poop a very disturbing color.

    Lame Deer is a small town on the Northern Cheyenne reservation. It was named for chief Lame Deer who was killed by Colonel Nelson Miles, for whom my home town of Miles City is named.

    No kidding hehe. I have a set of Narex chisels because I'm a tool whore but I still suck at using them.

    Smokers / Grills

    I don't use mine for a grill because I have a regular gas grill as well but I'm under the impression that the better ones can put a decent sear on a steak, especially if you get some grillgrates for it. Mine actually came with grillgrates but I just put them on the Weber.

    Smokers / Grills

    The Kamado type grills will work as a grill and a smoker and they won't rust but they're a lot more labor/time intensive than something like a pellet grill. Alternatively you could get a heavy duty pellet grill like a Yoder or a Rec Tec and just plan on taking the rust off of it with a wire...

    Did you do it all with a chisel? Or did you drill out the middle first?

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

    I'm actually tempted to do this and I'm a 49ers fan. If nothing else it will take the sting out of what would be the 5th humiliating loss of the season.

    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.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    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.

    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.

    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.
