    Futures up, which means chance of rain. Might as well predict that the futures up or down really hasn't been a big indicator for the day lately.

    There's a term often used around me. Cowboy logic or redneck logic. That is womens logic right there.

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I asked for a refund. I had already quit early on but the few times I tried to log in it was down. I got an email saying refund wasn't denied, it had failed to apply. Enough said.

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I have full faith in Blizzard to recover. They're going to ride the success and money from making a graphics only change to a 20 year game that they can't keep the servers online to restore their former glory.

    Only knew one person that went missing. Father of a friend of mine. He was known as a A #1 asshat/crook. They cound his truck burned up at a remote road that dead ended in the largest lake in TX inside the national forest. They looked forever. Followed rumors that was living in Arkansas at a...

    Energy sector etf I picked up a small amount of 3 weeks ago is up 21%. Mostly big name oil companies. Saw today fracking is picking up in the permian basin now but it's all almost private companies. The large companies sold off their lease holdings since the pandemic started.

    Waylon died in 2002. I saw him in one of his last concerts. Someone in the audience said something. He had to use a cane and was sitting on a stool and said "If you bring your ass up here I can still kick it". Any artist that actually owns their music now owes a lot to Waylon. The whole outlaw...

    Crude now above $80. Been talking to a number of lease holders. Nobody I've talked to has seen anyone starting fracking again. Earlier in the year a number of large companies were selling off their leases in the Permian basin. Seeing predictions of $100 barrel but nobody knows. Not only oil...

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

    Friend went to the LSU game last night and said it was a snooze fest, she flew up to Cincinati today to see Joe Burrow play. Guessing at least she's not sleeping now.

    Shitter’s Full - An RV Thread

    Uncle always had an Avion trailer. Pulled it every other year to AK from TX to spend the summer. It held up pretty well considering he drove it across the Alcan highway on the way and said he once got 5 flats in one day due to the shit road. He didn't do campgrounds much, someone in AK let him...

    Never seen anything like that or heard anything like that at a fab shop. 1,000 other things can and do go wrong but never an explosion. The only thing I've heard not oxygen related is an acetylene tank falling over that wasn't chained and knocking the valve off creating a missle. But on...

    Oil right at $80/barrel for WTI. Interested to see if there's a psychological effect. Guessing not since everything else has been upside down from normal. My speck of the oil world is now leased up 100%, so obviously total shutdown on drilling incoming.

    EVE Online

    CCP has totally jumped the shark. Been flirting with it for a while. Released catch up packages if you've been away for a long time from Eve. $1000 gets you 50m SP. Comes in various sizes. Guess that means my main with 110mSP I can now RMT it for $2000 right?

    The only issue I've had in 30 years is since I get 1099's from a number of companies both every so often some company won't send one in or they missed a job. So my income doesn't match what is reported to the IRS. Normally one letter to me and I let the company know. Simple math to figure out...

    Been 1099 all my adult life. You are supposed to estimate your income and pay taxes quarterly based on that. If you don't you make it up at once during your yearly filing, but you pay a penalty. No idea how much a streamers income varies quarter to quarter. Mine always did a lot.

    The UK has it figured out. They've been cutting timber in the southeast and making wood pellets out of it. Then ship it via freighter to the UK to burn in coal plants. Kid you not.

    Hunting Thread

    Hunt woodcock (Timber Doodle) while you can. They're in bad shape and have been for at least the last 30 years and the concern is starting to pick up. Could see a closed season in certain areas on the horizon. Changing land use has seen them drop off an edge for quite a while. More clearings...

    Oil hovering at $80/barrel now headed up. Seeing lots of predictions for $100/barrel in the near future. One lease I have now on land I no longer own is already producing, the second I got contacted last week to lease. So they're already already trying to get ahead of the curve with leases on...

    Investing in farmland

    Here in my part of Texas the land is a bonus to whatever you get on the land, or can get. Mineral leases which that is a thing of the past now was a common one. Sometimes someone will buy land from estates soon after the death of someone before they have time to figure it out. Or from old ladies...

    Yeah lot of tech companies and suppliers shutting down till the end of the month due to not having power in China. Plus no permanent fix until March 2022. They mentioned Intel among others. Unrelated note took me a minute to realise when he was saying 3/4 dam he was saying 3 gorges dam.
