    Tablets

    I have never used or even looked at the Amazon fire tablets. I was looking at the 10HD Tablet with the productivity package that includes a year of MS 365 and a keyboard to allow you to use the tablet as a semi laptop. Thought it might be handy for one or get one for both of my parents. It's...

    All the OPEC members agreed to pump more oil. There was a disagreement on pumping more or not between UAE and Saudi let it slide till today. So open the oil spigots.

    Got oil lease payment Friday. Just in time for a change. In 2008 I had an offer and the bottom fell out before I could accept it.

    Only thing green on the futures is the Vix which is break 20. We shall see, but not looking great. Speaking of backlogs. Friend is a service manager at the local Ford dealer. Ford is going to start shipping the trucks with missing chips so dealers appear to have stock on the lot. Then the...

    I always had a steel building like the one in the OP pics. It takes no time at all to build. I normally got the erector crew with a cherry picker to put up the steel and I did all the finishing. If you've never done it gonna guess it's cheaper to get the company you get the building from to put...

    I won my server Ranger because it was done on patch day on our server and the servers crashed and crashed and I think they rolled back at least once. It was a true shitfest and by the time the GM got it started only 2 of us were left. I quit that server shortly after and started over on a new...

    Everquest Confessions

    Before summoning was put in I used to pull a griffin or whatever it was in EC and lay waste to the tunnel to alts and semi afk people. People would often pull Sgt. Slate out of the tunnel and then it was go time. Rest of the time I just generally avoided people.

    Yeah I'm from Louisiana and lived 20+ years in Texas. Had nothing on the time I was in Alaska as far as mosquitos. The entire southeast is way ahead of average for rainfall this year, in many areas on track to break all time rainfall amounts.

    Found something you don't see everyday. In my grandmothers safety deposit box we were cleaning out she had some stock certificates from Dow Chemical. Both her dad and brother retired from there which I'm guessing is where it started/came from.

    Just glancing at the weather map of the US today. The heat wave moved on. Really below average at least in the south. Places still hot for this time of year, but at least not 115. Except in places that normally have that high of heat daily.

    Played it all night. Man for a $400 guitar I like it a LOT. The fret ends are even really good. I've never even picked up a squire. This one is cheaper than the classic vibe by a little. Weighed it, 6 pounds 10 ounces which the weight was the biggest factor, kind left out Les Pauls...

    Squire contempary on the right is new. Not bad. It was cheap and super super light. Weighing in at just over 6 pounds. Plus has a belly cut on the back which helps me. 12" radius on the fretboard is different from what I normally play. It came almost right in tune. I have some black locking...

    Yeah the south is having a LOT of thunderstorms pop up. Normally when it gets warm it does that but this is all the way across TX deep into the south. Saw Baton Rouge had hit 48" of rain already for 1/2 a year and normal is 80" or so for the year. Crazy, no hurricane rain either so far. The...

    Humidity gets high enough here for extended periods it actually makes it somewhat cooler since it gets harder and harder to heat all that up. Normal summer temps 95 and humidity of 40-60% depending on the time of day. It's been 98% the last week almost all day and 99-100% at night which makes it...
