    My grandmother put her house and land in my name twenty years before she died. I paid the taxes and such. She did not want her son to get it. Not because they didn't get along but she knew he wouldn't take care of things etc...

    Around the Dallas area, north TX they have shrink swell clay soils. Summer it dries out real bad and you get large cracks in the sooil that look like that first concrete pic. Then when it rains a lot they swell back up and close. They used to have a lot of foundation issues. Not sure if they...

    Yeah I saw that, digging into it they show the oxygen now and track it but don't provide an alarm for certain percentage. To get an alarm you have to wear a medical thing on your finger that stays on the hand that's made for altitude flight and such. Blah, looks like a pain in the ass and not...

    Someone mentioned Curly Hallman a while back in this thread. After I read that jogged my memory. Went to a game once and it may have been a loss to Tulane that was a pure shitshow and after the game in the interview "I thought we did pretty good in the 3rd quarter". Pretty sure that was the only...

    One of those odd days, rooting for Bama to win. Not that I would ever root for Ole Miss. Auburn avoided the worst record in the west with their win over A&M, which A&M now has the worst record in the west. Saw a meme this morning "Jimbo Fisher makes 22.5 times the salary that Caddilac Williams...

    I know nothing about smart watches. Can you get one that has an oxygen in the blood lvl alarm? I know they track heart rate and such but do some track oxygen level. I have to use an oxygen meter that clips on my finger and it gets old real fast.

    The Machinist

    In college toured a peckerwood mill - small sawmill. It was steam powered and had the belts on the ceiling. They had a flywheel that was probably 10-12 foot in diameter. They would shut down at the end of the day and fire up the next morning and the flywheel would barely still be spinning. Cool...

    When someone slaps you with a 5 foot long board is their footware a big concern? "No officer I didn't notice what color hair, height, clothes or anything else, but he was bare foot." I would have shot him but seemed pretty unfair to shoot a barefoot guy in the woods.
