Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967

Totally disgusting. From the 1986 film Stand By Me ~

Hell, if I saw that creature boiling outta that car my first inclination would be to run ~ it might have rabies!!

Story started out good, 'til it jumped to the rotten rabbit. 🫤

No big deal... just log in and do it online. Heck, you could prob'ly do it on your phone, unless you're old like most of us! Actually, although it works, I truly detest the TurboTax format. When asked by the TT "satisfaction poll," I flat stated that it would be MUCH simpler to just have "fill in the blanks" 1040 and 540 (california state) forms than having to endure their pedantic interrogatory format. There actually once was a vastly superior product that did just that - fill it in with precise coaching, and excellent review for accuracy. Strong competitor to TurboTax; so in true MicroSoft fashion, Intuit bought the company and killed it. Next year I might try the direct service with the IRS and the state Franchise Tax Board and skip paying TT their absurd fee.

It works. Did mine last Sunday night and already have my State and Federal refunds! 😄

I like tacos. Heck... who doesn't? And I've had LOTS of different types of tacos. And, if I may humbly say so, the ones I make are always well received and often requested. But THESE I might not be so sure about. Perhaps some of our Floridians might offer up opinions? @Alpo?

I got this for ya, Forty.

Definitely check out Mark Novak's "Anvil" videos. Fun stuff, from a cigar-smoking, cello-playing, master gunsmith. They tend to be lengthy (Mauser example link below), but are not boring at all and will keep your attention. K98 Restoration Link "Fun" sample:

Yup. And I reckon he prolly prefers Ginger.

Just make sure he ain't got a cougar attached to 'im~!

BTDT. 'Tain't pleasant.

Well... here's the current proposed method: AB 1421 Not surprisingly, a lot of folks are less than thrilled about this... but our opinions carry little weight.

I'm a-tellin' ya, folks... he ain't to be trifled with! If'n TN got hisself bit by one, that boy's in a world of hurt.

Oh, hell, of COURSE he can~! Oops... I thought you meant SDJ~! 🙄

Sorry... but couldn't resist.

I saw that too... but it's not clear that the second shot was hers. May have been the drunk J. P., who fortuitously missed. However, played it back at 1/4 speed ("Settings" selection), and the second shot was clearly his:

Longmire. Season 5, Episode 7. I thought one of the coolest scenes in the series. Cady is in her new "legal office" with a young Cheyenne girl, protecting her from her enraged husband. The guy breaks in, and Cady has to defend the girl and herself. A couple of episodes earlier, Jacob Nighthorse had gifted her a rifle, and a box of ammunition. At about the 45 second mark she realizes it doesn't load like her dad's '94.

Nineteen Seventy or Seventy one... San Francisco, the station near the Kappa Phi Delta house (Gulf?) was charging 25.9¢/gallon. I'd coast into that station on fumes with a $5 bill in my pocket, fill up the old '68 Bug, and have enough change for lunch at Munchie Burgers on Geary. Twelve cent hamburgers, 39¢ quarter pounders and "fill it yerself" drink machine! Dang, but life was good!

Thassit!! 😆 Couldn't wait to get back home and the vastly superior Sears Roebuck catalogue...! 🙂

Still gotta be better than that "waxed paper" stuff they put in the school restrooms when some of us were kids...

But the game's good! Brings up memories of the Vikings, back in the Bud Grant days - SNOW!!

You gotta ask???

Tonight, for your viewing pleasure, Svengoolie brings you... I think I was in the fifth grade when I saw this... can still taste the popcorn and Juju Beads~!
