You'll enjoy that. You can head north to Hermosa where you've got beach mansions on one side and the beach and sand volleyball on the other. Be careful to not crash your bike because I'm telling you rihnow that that stretch has the most gorgeous women I've ever seen in my over 50 years.
I was in Barcelona last year for a week. What a total disappointment. The streets smell like piss every morning, the women are doing labor jobs like manual street sweeping because the guys are all gay and hang out in cafes all day drinking coffee with their butt buddies, and there are tons of Mooslims taking over.

Also, the food is so bad compared to other nearby European countries.
I know they're trying. Im holding out hope it falls through before the season starts. Im fully prepared to never watch another Mizzou game. I'm over this bullshite.
I'm sick of all of these TROs and lawsuits. It has nothing to do with LSU.

If Mizzou tries to roster some Euro trash non-traditional aged "student", I will never support their basketball team again.

Tony's at the Pier in the Crow's Nest has great views.

They have a "Famous" Fire Chief in a glass souvenir cup. It's pretty good drink and darn strong. They have an appetizer called Mozzarella Marinara that is really good fried round cheese. I wouldn't eat a full meal there, but the views, drunks and apps are very good.

That's all I have. When I lived in the Beach Cities, I frequented Hermosa and Manhattan more, but I always liked heading down to the pier. My SIL lives on the Redondo-Torrance line and my favorite thing to do down there is ride bikes along the strand and people watch and day drink.
Because immigrants, even legal ones, don't assimilate anymore. They turn towns into unrecognizable shitholes and generally don't give a damn about even learning English.
I was just by the Cheers bar in Boston this past Saturday. We didn't go inside because the interior isn't the same as the tv show I watched back in the day.

Boston definitely has some good bars and restaurants. Very clean for a large city and not much diversity if you know what i mean.

Kiffin will always attract talented football players, especially with LSU's NIL budget.

But with Kiffin, the fundamentals of physical football are an afterthought. More time and energy is spent on a basketball goal on the sideline (wtf), social media engagement and other ancillary bullshite. It would drive me insane if I were a LSU fan to have a top budget bunch of players that care as much about smoking and joking on the sidelines and dunking on some middle school basketball goal.
Baker is a fraud.

Really, it should be obvious that anyone who wears flat bills with a t shirt hoodie is not to be taken seriously.

My best friend in the Army back in the middle to late 90s was from Many/Florien.

We were some badass Abrams tankers back then.
shite nbaw. I don't work for anyone. I'll drink or smoke or d9 whatever at anytime.

But my statement stands, if you want to go be a merc, then you dont mean shite to me.
I appreciate everything IS service mem ers have done anf do today. By the same token, I don't give a damn what happens to mercs.

I served with some great Am3ricans under the flag of the USA. Once you do it gor money or recognition, and not your home, I don't g8v3 a frick. Solfiers of Fortune/mercs are doing it for themselves.

re: staining advice

Nice. One thing to note is that on softwoods like pine and cedar, I do not use traditional penetrating stains. I only use gel stains. Because softwoods can be very blotchy, even when using a preconditioner.

I really don't like when softwoods get blotchy with stain. Wood conditioner helps, but gel stain is more of like a paint. Wipe on, wipe off. It sits on top so it doesn't penetrate and turn blotchy.

Walked to Mike & Patty's this morning for coffee and breakfast. I swear the sandwich i had. Called Grilled Crack, was maybe the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. If you're around there, it's definitely worth going to.

I'll be there for the first and only time this season foe the Texas game.
Good timing. I'm landing at Logan in Boston right now. Have reservations at Mamma Maria's Friday night and a seafood place i can't remember the name on Saturday.

Staying at a VRBO apartment somewhere around the Aquarium Train Station.

Ended up taking a shuttle bus to the airport train station then a $2.40 train fare to the Aquarium train stop then a 5 minute walk to the place. But now I'm starved and nowhere around here still serves food at 1230 on a Wednesday night.

re: What Car Do You Drive?

Posted by El Segundo Guy on 10/5/26 at 11:05 pm to
My wife and I have 4 vehicles for the two of us.

My daily driver for trips into town is my 05 Z71. It has over 205k miles, but I enjoy driving it. It does what i need and I'm not worried if something happens.
For smaller cracks, I've used Magic Crack Filler. If your cracks are bigger, it might not work as well.
It was a shitshow in and around Durant yesterday. Between the rain and Trump in town. I was busy on my land and I'm going to be staying at the Choctaw Casino tomorrow so I didn't feel like going there yesterday.

I didn't go, but I know over a dozen that did. One guy got know got in line at 2 pm and had to be in the SRO section.
So Trump's going to make it here to Beyan County this evening. I know a lot of people going, but not sure if I will. It's raining and I have a million things to do before going on a vacation next week.

There's been some local news about a vocal group of Injuns raising hell because they are claiming Trump is anti-Injun and he shouldn't be allowed to speak on Choctaw Tribal land. I have no idea if they're going to be doing some kind of demonstration this evening or not.

Anyway, this is huge news for Durant and Bryan County. Not much happens on this side of the Red River in this area.

The Durant Stockyards (very close to the Choctaw HQ) does their sale auctions on Thursday and the main guy invited Trump to the livestock auction. No idea if Trump took them up on it.
I grew up in the country. We didn't have time nor the desire to watch a vhick show on Saturday morning. We were feeding cattle, stacking hay bales doing chores, etc so that we could play sports, watch football or be in the woods all afternoon. Not staring at a TV watching a chick show about school. I had no clue it even came on on Saturday mornings.

The ONLY people I knew that watched were dorky girls.
