We would literally run about 350 sections of extension cords to whatever outlet we could find that the homeowners wouldn’t bust us plugging into their outside outlet so we could power up our bonfire/camp site.
re: I-10 from Baytown to Beaumont early morning

Mont Belvieu has literally turned into a burb like Kingwood and the Woodlands where it is a commuter haven for those poor souls that have to make that drive into the H-town jungle. I bet very few exit into Baytown. If so that commute would be glorious.
Oddly enough the part of town we grew up in was right next to a swamp so we did a shite ton of camping starting on Friday nights which was literally slang for not having a curfew at all and staying out all night all weekend but at least we were smart about it. We actually did go through the motions of camping by getting the stuff and riding the 3 wheelers/dirt bikes into the woods to set up. After that it was riding back out to a vehicle and during the Fall it was to a football game or maybe a random field out in BFE. There was also the random parents out of town house party or we just rode our wheelers in the hood at night that usually ended up with the cops chasing us around. Thank the Lord there was no cell phones back then with tracking capabilities because I would have probably been grounded for life for the dumb shite we used to do,

Yep the inbound to Houston on 10 from the Eastside has gotten much worse with the growth of Mont Belvieu and now sadly Anahuac. Before long they will be building starter homes into Winnie.

I get up every morning to read my bible before I start the day.

Yep not really a good idea to go from that much usage to nothing. I would just restart and taper off gradually. I went from a can of snuff a day to a can a week to just a few dips a week. At that point quitting completely was a walk in the park.
I got one about a year ago. I pretty much used it everyday swinging either on the range or at home . For the most part it re-grooved my swing. It is one of the few golf training aids that works.

Not near as bad as the people who say anyway after every damn sentence. Literally drives me crazy. Almost as bad as hearing nails on a chalkboard.
I think the rice bucket is probably the best exercise for me as far as building forearms and inversely getting more grip strength for BJJ, which is my end goal. I also will do the dowel with the rope and weights and farmers walks as mentioned a few times a week as well but nothing has really improved my overall forearm development like doing about 10 minutes with a bucket of rice.

This. There isn't enough spice to make one taste good.
The fist clue to how rank they are is when you get ready to clean one. They smell really bad.
Been watching a self storage place get constructed not far from my house. It’s probably going on 7 months since they started the initial dirt work. It’s one of those multi-level air conditioned storage places with outside bigger units that are not. I can only imagine how upside down this place is for the owner after seeing how long and jacked up it has been in the construction process.

If it passed x-ray you are off the hook.

. When I was juicing (and younger) I loved volume training because I was on so many androgens/anabolics/orals, gh, insulin that I could repair easily and it literally didn't matter. I wouldn't make it one week now with a volume plan I'd be a mess physically.
Probably should be a caveat with this thread between natty or not because you are talking apples and oranges between the 2 in building muscle mass and it all boils down to recovery. With that said, there is a definite line in volume training going into the high rep range versus the low rep range that builds more strength. I have always used in my training whether on gear or not that you are going to build more muscle mass with a higher rep range and adjust weights/sets with what your body can handle either on/off versus my powerlifting days when I dialed down the reps but went as heavy as I could.

Seen every episode at least five times. Red Foxx was truly ahead of his time.
Wasn't Red Foxx like 50 when they were doing Sanford and Son? I figured we was easily in his 70's.
I started watching Sanford and Son I guess when they started the reruns on TBS when I was in high school in the late 80's. All my buddies watched it to and the dialogue from that show seeped into our boneheaded teenage vocabulary. I bet I had 3 friends we called Big Dummy.
RIP Lamont.

I thought he was practically there when he had the SEC lead commentator gig at CBS along with his own radio show and all the guest calls in to shows like FBomb and Bill King's thing on Sirius.
Honestly, I figured LSU fans would love Tim Brando since he hates Bama so much and nobody hates Bama as much as LSU.
I used to instruct our kids BJJ classes at our old school. I have seen kids who started at 8 to 10 progress up to when we finally give them their Blue Belts. I honestly feel sorry for most White Belts and even the occasional class guy Blue Belt when these kids are given the greenlight to come to the Adult classes. When they roll it’s like going against a spider monkey that has been training for 7-8 years already. It is a little embarrassing for a dude to get tapped by a 15 year old but it happens a lot. Some of these kids are literally dropped off right after school and will do every class available until the adult classes start so you throw a kid that knows some MT/boxing along with a string jits background into this fray and you have what happened in the video.

And eat as well. I would enhale food after making weight but that shite sucks trying to get those finals pounds off. That's why I literally tried to stay somewhat close to my target weight during training or at least the last few weeks of it.

Taking house and truck the day after being fired would be ruthlessly vindictive.
I have been working O&G for almost 25 years and every firing at that level usually means the person being let go is turning all their shite in right that second and if it has gotten toxic, an escort out with your shite being sent to your house. Vehicles were pulled at the time of firing. That one caught me off guard since Tommy gave no fricks about driving that MTex truck post firing but honestly I doubt Cami cared or knew. It isn't like she had an HR department behind her. I also never saw house arrangements like that but a few apartments where those were cut off immediately as well.
re: Taking care of the golf course
Posted by MWP on 1/19/26 at 1:35 pm to DarkDrifter
I belong to a CC that I swear gets a major scramble tournament every other week in the Spring. Y’all think people don’t take care of courses during a normal round, they really give no fricks during a scramble. I know they bring the club a ton of money but the damage most of these hacks do to the courses is mind boggling. Filling in divots and ball marks. Thankfully the carts get killed if you try going to close to the green or they would be driving those carts right to the fringe. I almost have to go outside the wire until tournament season is done so I don’t lose it every time I play.
