Watto's Junk Yard / Re: How's the weather?
« on: June 8, 2008, 11:29 PM »
Hot and humid here in north Texas. Temp has been in the upper 90's and it's only the start of June. We'll be getting really really hot later. On top of that, I'm playing ball 3-4 days a week and it seems like we are only getting 6pm games. Tomorrow though we'll be getting some nasty weather coming through with a chance of hail and severe weather.

Paul, that is badass looking. Might I ask where you were able to pick that up from.
And on a sidenote, I'm gussing those are hills on the west side of Ft.Worth.

Is that like saying he's building it as awesomely as B.A. Baracus would have?
I think Brent covered that one for me.
Man, you have to explain compliments to the commoners.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: JD Book Club: What Are You Reading Now?

Story about the lone survivor of SEAL Team 10 in Afghanistan and the subsequent relief/rescue attempts in 2005. Pretty good read so far, I bought it last night and got through the first 30 pages. Probably would have read more but I was exhausted when I started reading. This guy knows what being a bad ass is all about and he fills the part perfect.

Thanks guys.
I'm just going for the figures. I don't really have the room to go after ships, or the cash at the moment as we have a little one on the way. That said, I'll probably splurge in July when the new Millenium Falcon comes out and I'll find somewhere to put it.

Wow, you guys have lived in some crazy places and seen some crazy stuff.
My personal story, I saw a guy once fly out of the front of a truck, catch himself on the grill guard, slide under the truck by hanging onto the frame and then get drug behind it for a mile at high speed before pulling himself onto the back and then getting back into the cab and kicking the drivers ass. Oh yeah, he also whipped about 10 guys asses before he did that. You guys are so full of it.

I went with my brothers and dad to see it Friday night. I'm a bit mixed on my feelings for it.

I'm stoked about this, pretty much because I'm a huge Indy fan...watched ROTLA on my computer in bed the other night. I freakin' love that one...anyway, I'll probably end up waiting until Monday (if possible or maybe Sunday afternoon). If I can't get in, I'll just wait until school is out (5 June) and remain out of Indy discussions until after I see the movie.

Watto's Junk Yard / Re: The Office
« on: May 16, 2008, 12:09 PM »Very possible. I like that Jim just kept going off on Ryan over the phone. I'm not sure how that would play out though. I really need to see the Jim/Dwight interaction. But, when Jim did leave before, they were able to keep the jokes going. BTW, the prank last night was great I thought.
Anybody else think that Jim might be joining Pam in NY as Ryan's replacement?

The Kevin/Holly bit was priceless. I wonder how long that can go on........As slow as Kevin is, I bet they can drag that out for a while. I thought it was pretty f'n funny last night because Kevin is such a dolt anyway.

I loved the Dwangela bit at the end - it made up for my Jam disappointment.
Yeah, I'm hoping Andy goes by the wayside. I want him still in the office, but Dwight/Angela is just great.
All in all, a great-great episode last night. It really set stuff up for next season. This I think will be one of my favorites. Jenna Fischer was on Leno last week and mentioned several things in the interview that we would see. All the things that she said came to pass, but not in the way you thought they would. I'm guessing the show producers put her up to throwing in some stuff in the Leno interview.

I've never used the Choice Deck stuff before, so I'm not familiar with it at all.
I will say if I were building a new deck, I'd use redwood. But that is a personal preference for me as I love the color and love how easy it is to cut and work with. However, it's very, very expensive. I'd use that and then finish it with a weather sealant. You can spray the stuff on, scrub it onto the deck, let stand for a bit, and then rinse it off with water. That's what I've done with the previous deck I've worked on.

« on: May 14, 2008, 01:12 PM »Congrats Chris,
Like many others we have both gone through the same situation. When your new baby is born you'll cherish your child even more than you thought possible. Having a baby will change your life for the better. One thing I found extremely helpful was having a baby backpack. A stroller can be kind of large/limiting at times, but when you put your child on your back you can go anywhere. Plus you'll kind of feel like Luke training on Dagobah.
This is what I told my wife I wanted...either that or a chest harness. I did tell my wife I want to get a 3 wheeled jogging stroller so I can take the kiddo along with me...maybe even let the dog tag along with us.
