@Mericamemed I can smell that stinky MFer from here!

I can hear this meme

@ARBAyala All over the place.

Is there any more Luby’s around Texas? I lovedddd their chicken-fried chicken and iced box pie! There's none around us anymore. 😩

@oldguy_steve Yep. Also if i am waiting on mail from 1 town over, it goes through the main distribution center then back to me taking at least 4 days. But when I mail a check to the IRS in Austin 4 counties over it gets hammered in 2 days.

As an Amazon Prime member, I receive packages I order this afternoon at my doorstep by 8:00 AM the next morning. Meanwhile, if I send a letter across town, it goes through three distribution centers across two states, and takes a week to get there - if it doesn't get lost in the process.

@Walter_Woodhead @SULLY10X It looks like an oilfield vessel. Heater treater.

@SULLY10X Was the truck carrying one of those windmill turbine parts?

Train derails in Pecos, Texas after crashing into a semi truck stalled on the tracks.

@SULLY10X This happened on 12-18-24. Not nothing newsworthy or breaking news.

@FrankBr05713205 Much like the HT4100, 4.5 and 4.9, all a p.o.s.

Here is a cool cut away of a Cadillac Northstar V8 engine. It was an engineering Marvel at the time, but ended up giving Cadillac a big black eye. These engines are powerful, and once touted as one of the smoothest running engines ever made. It featured an aluminum block and cylinder heads with cast-iron cylinder liners and four valves per cylinder. But while its design and performance was very impressive, it became infamous for significant reliability issues most notably head gasket failures. It had head bolts that would stretch and pull out of the aluminum block causing coolant loss and severe overheating. As a technician one of the things I thought odd about this engine was its starter location. The starter was inside the engine under the intake manifold.! The engines can be fixed but it’s a fairly expensive operation. These engines were produced from 1993 to 2011 and was an example although it looked good on paper, in real life It just didn’t work out so good.

@smokefatsalt Yep. Once the wealthy line up for anything it becomes a rich man's game. Nascar, drag racing, muscle cars, deer hunting, etc.

The saddest part about BBQ is it used to be poor people food. Used cheap cuts and slow smoked them till tender. Today it is more expensive than a typical steakhouse, charging $36/lb for brisket. Worst thing to happen to BBQ ever is it became popular. Now get off my lawn

@riverrat328 Geeze, I'm sorry for the hard luck. I drive a 2011 Ford F250 that I bought brand new. 6.2 gas engine. Im gonna keep that truck running because no one makes a new truck currently that I would remotely be interested in. Quality has gone so downhill in the last 10 or so years.

@Man71Zen Yep

Guys….. the motor in my husbands truck blew 😭😭😭😭😭

@elonmusk And there will always be those like me that will never own one.

True

@FrankBr05713205 Looks like an old valve service set.

Can anybody identify this old automotive set of tools or perhaps you used them at one time? It’s been a while since I used them.

@MrsMassacre Lol, south eastern Wyoming was literally carved out of the Republic Of Texas.

Montana and Wyoming are sister states and you're not welcome in either one of them. Why? Because if you weren't raised here, you will never fit into our world. Here's the annual machine gun and cannon shoot. You're not ready for our culture.

@TS_Secrets Simple PLC controls, encoders, proximity devices etc. Really not too complicated as compared to the drilling industry and it's implementation of A/C drive and modern hudraulics.

There are only about 25,000 elevator technicians in the entire U.S. Let that sink in. Now think about how many elevators exist: • Apartments • Hospitals • Hotels • Office buildings • Airports Every single one needs maintenance… forever. Now here’s where it gets interesting: Elevator techs make $100k on average Top earners clear $150k+ With overtime in big cities? Even higher. And the “training pipeline” everyone talks about? It’s not 4 years of college. It’s: • Apprenticeship programs • Trade-based training • Earn while you learn So let me get this straight… We’re telling 18 year olds to take on $100k+ in debt… Instead of pointing them toward a career where they can make six figures fixing elevators? Here’s the controversial part: The shortage isn’t because the job is bad. It’s because no one is telling kids this path exists. We’ve marketed college. We’ve ignored trades like this. And now we have a massive gap. In 10–15 years? The people who chose these “invisible trades” are going to look like geniuses. Fun fact: only one out of the three elevators worked during our trip and average wait time was 10-15 mins.

@DeAngelisCorey Absolutely ridiculous!

These 15 superintendents in Texas make more than the President. Harlandale: $627k Barbers Hill: $513k Killeen: $508k Cy-Fair: $496k Lake Travis: $468k Houston:$462k Garland:$457k Crowley:$453k Ysleta:$451k La Joya:$441k Ft Bend:$438k Tomball:$431k Katy:$426k Klein:$421k NW:$404k

@HRPSCMV @401_da_sarpanch @CVSA @HRPS_Traffic @ONtransport That's a center support bearing. They do go bad and should be replaced about every 75,000 or so miles.

Another overloaded dump truck intercepted on Milton today. Cracked main leaf, bad tire, bad driveshaft, loose wheel fasteners, bad brake and overloaded. Truck placed out of service, plates removed, and charges laid against driver & company.

@RichOToole Not even close to Texas Mesquite Smoked Brisket and ribs. Peach cobbler, apple pie, tater salad, beans, cornbread, pan fried taters, polish sausage, German smoked sausage.

Excuse me what??

@HemmerleinLee I never get seen. Bet you dont even see this. I do not have a subscription or a blue check mark so it's expected I guess.

I realize it is just the nature of this platform. But sometimes I feel as though once my posts start getting seen there's an update to the platform and then my views tank. Oh well here are some cute cows.

@scottwestacre Look to be ready to drop. They will end up in a tractor tire soon.

Nice rack on this buck. Surprised he still has his horns as I figured they would be shed already. Nice herd of mule deer

@kelvin_hams Yeah, but it will get the job done without waiting on a factory tech to fly in and troubleshoot it.

Someone must have a stash fuel lying around to run this big girl. Sold in a clearing sale for 226k today.

@runningbehind77 Only fools and rich fools buy new trucks.

Anybody buy these things anymore? 09’ 3/4 6.0, cloth, 68k miles
