re: Anyone here have the hardest time pooping?

Posted by driftwoodtigerfan on 2/7/26 at 8:04 pm to Tarps99

Metimucil. I don’t feel like getting into my bowel habits here but after knee surgery recently I started taking this to offset constipation. I take it daily now and has been a game changer for me. And I only take about a third of the recommended daily amount.

re: Yesterday marked 19 years on TD for me

Since 8/08 for me. Have no recollection of how I found it. Lurked forever and still rarely post. LA native. Raised in Monroe. Lived in Covington for 4 years ‘03-‘07. Lived all over TX since then. TD has always given me my LA connection. Rant, OT, Outdoor, F&D, and more. Always looking for the next nugget thread. Keep up the good work fellas!

I had knee surgery in October, and it came in handy for a few weeks. Otherwise, would not have a need to use one.

re: Looking for Smoker Recommendations

After a ton of research and I finally pulled the trigger on a Weber Kamado. There are many good smokers out there buy I love this thing. I mainly use it for low and slow cooking, and it holds temp very well. Fuel lasts all day if you need it too. Easy to set up to cook and easy to clean.

Cantoni.com-The Wing Bar Stool. We looked all over DFW for months. Found this chair and bought 4 of them. We sit in them every day. Outstanding comfort and durability.

re: Sharing location with your spouse

Posted by driftwoodtigerfan on 8/2/25 at 4:17 pm to pelicanpride

Years ago, when my wife asked to share locations I said hell no. As time has passed I have warmed up to it. I travel by driving alone back and forth from TX to CO and am alone on our property in CO doing all kinds of work. I am 57. Now I want my wife and kids to know where I am. We all use the Find My Phone app for iPhone to share our locations.

re: Forloh hunting clothing

Posted by driftwoodtigerfan on 6/29/25 at 6:38 am to OnePercent

My favorite from them is the deep space layer stuff. I use the base layer top and bottoms, the gaiter, and the underwear briefs. All great imo. I also have the allclima hunting jacket and pants that I purchased during their annual spring sale a year ago. Overall, I am satisfied with it. Only complaint are the knee pads in the pants. Elk hunting for miles at crazy elevation changes, they began to feel heavy or just bothersome.

Must have been the variant I had back in Feb. I tested positive for the first time and had one of the worst sore throats I can remember having in my 56 years. Freakin miserable for two weeks.

re: Using salt water as herbicide

Posted by driftwoodtigerfan on 6/17/25 at 6:50 am to DownshiftAndFloorIt

I also use 30% vinegar. I have found that diluting it at 3 parts vinegar to 1 part water is very effective. My primary use is spraying thistle on some acreage we have in CO. There is so much of it, diluting is saving me some money while still being lethal to the weeds.

I still like HEB but it’s not what it used to be imo. I go for specific things and shop Central Market the same. CM is their upscale store that is present in metro areas of TX.
