Me too. I don't even like it when we wear all purple jerseys instead of white.

Auction was today. The one I wanted the least sold for the least and was below my budget for the ones I wanted the most, but above what I wanted to pay for that particular one. The other two sold above what I wanted to pay. It wa close. I made a number of bids on one and the guy who bid...

I don't remember asking for advice. I've got approximately 3,500 cigars in 2 cabinet humidors and an office table humidor. I think I'll be OK.

Because 90% of cuba cigars are fake including "cubans" you buy in cuba and areas where they were never illegal. Macanudo really? They are a well made cigar but have almost no flavor to them at all.

I give them away or throw them away. Depending on the box you can get a divider made out of spanish cedar out of it you can toss in your humidor.

Can I show some history. Finish registered on the richter scale across campus in the geology department. I was at that game, junior in high school. Jeeze I'm getting old. Some days the football gods shine on you, why I have no reason.

Call me old fashioned. But one of the reasons I was in favor of the 20% down was in case things went to shit you had at least some chance of unloading your house without a foreclosure.

Guess it's offical, Greece defaulted.

I'm curious how often ya'll eat fast food. I never really followed the thread much till I changed work and the guys eat fast food every day. I'm not sure I could handle it that much. I do it twice a week at most. Otherwise I eat real food brought from home or I run home for lunch sinc I'm...

Thanks, but we don't contract out and require everyone on site and frequent field trips as well.

I guess I'm totally out of touch. When I hear/read YS I think of these. A supercharged 4 stroke engine that runs on glow fuel for my RC planes. It's truly a work of art in my mind. I guess that's the mechanical nerd in me.

What kind of draftsman, I'm hiring just north of San Antonio. Prefer someone with structural or plate work in a petrochemical environment but you never know.

I agree with that, but this was pre-BCS days and I often wondered if you were an A&M fan how/where did you watch them on TV and it was 2 hours away.

Are these car makers like Ferrari, Bugatti etc..going to give them a car to test as easily as they do on the BBC? I'm sure the show will kick ass, but I'm going to guess there's a lot of cool stuff you can't do when you aren't associated with the BBC like drive to the north pole or drive a Ford...

That's news to me since I have never been to WV. I live currently less than an hour from Austin in the hill country and housing is booming because we are seeing a bleed over from the tech industry. My girlfriend moved to Austin. Her sister married a guy in Austin. I went to a christmas party...

Like I said I'm not a big art person, how did you get exposed and interested in it? I googled to take a look. The only real "art" I own is just a painting of a plantation next to some property I hunted on 30 years ago. It's numbered, I think it's worth $75. Mainly I got it just because I...

I had to pay my sister, she wanted a comission based on how much she spent.....let me check on that. Fuck no, considering you are in charge of how much is spent. She was joking but seriously.

Been there. I have never got a "real" paycheck. Always on contract. After you get paid you eat at the finest places in town, then before you get paid the next check you check the couch for enough change to eat on the dollar menu.

Sorry if it offends anyone. I don't live like most people. I'm single with no kids and for the most part live life like someone who makes 1/5th to 1/10th what I do. Just looking at how much people spend on these boards on entertainment would be enough for me to live on for the most part...

Field?

Not a fan of Thompson Cigar. Just order from cigar international if you can. I buy short stories from them often. Thompson seems to be more in the email/calling scam business than cigars.

If I saw a business that had those hours the first thing I would think of was it's a hobby and not a business.

I always thought it was odd when I went to college in the early 90's about 2 hours away from A&M in East, TX and we got more LSU games on TV than A&M games and that was 6 hours from Baton Rouge in another state. Lot of oddball shit in TV packaes or whatever.

A company I worked for was bought out by a Fortune 500 company after I left. It really saved the company as they were circling the drain. However that company go bought out by another larger 500 company and they closed that company down completely shortly after because it was deemed too much of...

In this case, those were made at his direction while still alive that were numbered done at the Roman Bronze works or the Henry-Bonnard comapny. The lower the number the more detail you get. The later ones change drastically as they were touched up by Remington. In coming thro the rye the chaps...

30+ years ago I visited the Gilcrease museum and have wanted a Remington scultpure ever since. There's an auction later this week in Dallas, TX where they will have 3 originals. My sister is going as my proxy. Wish me luck. I've never really been interested in art, but this is something I'm...

Any hints on where to find it, would really only be interested in the goodbye end.

Missouri didn't have it's own network in the 80's for at least local TV coverage? I'm pretty sure it was covered thru most of the state, but we didn't compete with an NFL or MLB team. This during an era where LSU didn't win shit and a coach came out after a game once we lost by 40+ points and...

I usually don't bitch about such stuff...but. When they built the new baseball stadium at LSU ( I know baseball but we outdraw all but 2 basketball teams in the NCAA in attendance for baseball games). Anyway a group of of fans who sat in in the outfied (yes they have stands all the way around...

Mitsubishi is the only engineering company (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) to undertake making a carbon capture project design for making power plants meet new standards. We're building it now, according to the end customer nobody else bid on it with a bunch of "It will never work" shit thrown in...

This guy is confused apparently. Black college student Byron Thomas hangs Confederate flag in his dorm room window | Daily Mail Online

WG really screwed the pooch this time. Friday afternoon going into a 3x weekend they did something to their database. They blame it on poeple having a World of Warships account AND a World of Tanks forum. Basically for a lot of people they have no gold, no free xp. I had just purchased...

I wouldn't touch that shit with a 10 foot pole, not my kid - not my problem. Let CPS sort it out. Him hanging around your kid is bad enough.

A lot of time we are under time constraints. Many of our projects are fabricated while the design is being finished. Normally we capture a lot of the issues and they are incorporated in later drawings further into the project. LOTS of times a revision is a phone call saying revise all welds...

I dunno either. BMW's are made in the south, South Carolina.

No it can't. For one thing it's in our contract that we must "page turn" and that's what is in the contract to document the changes so we can bill for them as revisions. Another is we don't get electronic design drawings or engineering drawings from the customer or the engineering firm hired by...

There's only one bakery in New Orleans that makes all the french bread daily for true po-boys made on french bread. There rest are just sandwiches or whatever. They're not true po-boys. They start baking at 4am and make deliveries all day to various po-boy shops. Roast beef po-boys are nice...

Well part of document control will never be automated. They have to do a page turn and document what changed on each drawing for each revision. So 1000 drawings might hae 3 revisions total for each drawing. All that has to "page turned" and looked at and decide what was changed and document it.

Police chief in NY recently said it was too hard to hire blacks without a crimminal record.

My sister is flying in tomorrow so I get a real po-boy straight from po-boy country on real po-boy bread. Been thinking about it for 2 days now.
