Let's just agree on: if you haven't owned a 200+ mph car or 20k worth of fishing gear, you probably don't get the point.

20k would just be the reels, right not taking the truck up to near150 mph, so 200 is out. having the ability to flip a hummer at 20 mph says i dont need to go 200

@fishlessman  you know it! 
Here is about 15-16K in equipment. Not including the chair or any part of the boat or fuel being consumed. At least 4-5x that amount is inside. 
Granted, we usually do not throw the fish we catch back unless it is a marlin. It is hard enough to catch one. 



And for the record I would love to get one of those roadsters. I have never driven a tesla, but I bet it is a blast.

we're talking about this guy, right?

Imaging the future of Britain after Boris surged to power this morning.  I say surged, 92,000 people (form a population of 60 million) preferred him to another fella.  Only 46,000 liked the other lad.

Happy to sweeten the deal with a few minor Royals and tickets to the 1st Ashes Test at Edgbaston. (England currently marginal favourites, just FYI)

we may need him back in 2024 to go against aoc as the carnival continues

We were laughing at you guys up North last week much in the same fashion as you making fun of the South in a snowstorm.

My sons 1st birthday is Saturday and we’ve got a couple of vegetarian friends coming to celebrate.  Doing a trial run to see if its worth cooking up a pack of these. 


Here goes nothing

Interested in your take. Wifey keeps a pack in the fridge in case a weirdo shows up. Never cooked them thankfully.

No issues with dietary lifestyles, but regarding vegetarians and or vegans-why is it that their product names have meat based themes??  I'm all in with the below:

It's 102 this afternoon. Nice and cool. No better time to clean the garage.

Really interesting texture.  Raw, it handles like a meat clone. It cooked like a burger, although it didn’t quite brown like one.  Eating, it had a texture similar to meat, but softer.  The taste was a dead give away. It was somewhat bitter on the finish, otherwise pleasant.  I certainly don’t prefer it to beef, but I’m happy to serve this to a vegetarian.

Talk about TOFTT.  If I ever truly need a friend, I'm calling you.

Just got back from visiting the pigs.  Got another 2 litters.  Fluffy and her litter. Mangalista sow Berkshire boar.
6 of 7 made it. 


The other litter is a first time mom and is not doing so well.  Never made a good bed and does not get in a good feeding position for the babies to feed. Then she gets up and moves to the other side of the yard she is on leaving them. Yesterday she was so hot she wanted nothing to do with them at all. Lost 3 already. The fact that these 6 are alive means they are getting something from her. Unfortunately, I will not be surprised if we lose a few more, but really hope not. 



But I have to be thankful till they waited for the temperature break to birth. If not we might have lost them all right away.

We've apparently got space for one of those, but it's full.  
 
I was surprised to learn, just tonight, that Boris went to Oxford!!  

And what is it with bad leaders with worse haircuts??  
 
Oops, wrong thread.

Just got to Nashville, hotel is 2 blox from the Ryman. Going to see Jonny Lang and JJGrey & Mo Fro.

Grew up listening to Mr. Lang. Formidable voice (not to mention guitar talents) from a young age.
