Texas BS Thread

Man I wish it wasn't so far and I didn't get off at 7am. I could never get there before 10 or 11

 

win the lotto, then you won’t have to work. I’ve been trying for years, but silly me keeps forgetting to buy lotto tickets.

 

Ha! I have that same problem. I never have cash and they don't take debit or credit.

 

Anyone who has kids who love trains (Thomas) here ya go:

 

I took my son to this in Austin...way back in 2002?.

it was awesome.

 

We did it 2 years in a row - stayed at the Gaylord Texan. Was badass.

 

the best part for my son was....when we were pulling up to the downtown hotel...we crossed over some RR tracks

and THERE WAS THOMAS pulling back into the station, right behind our car.

my 6yr old son was all eyes.



please don't ask how much $ we spent on Thomas crap.

 

I won't ask if you don't ask

The only thing I'm disappointed about was that when the ride starts you just back up for a little bit then move back up to where you started. The only thing we saw was ppl's messed up backyards and trash thrown out along the tracks...........the Polar Express in Palestine was way better.

 

Howdy, Pearland. Conroe here.

 

They're choppin em down faster than we can grow em...............

 

Yup, so my little corner lot is a sanctuary for em. Our pines are staying up.

 

good

 

I work in "old" Pearland

 

I wish I could've made it to this. Truck is in a state of disrepair and I had to work.

 

Wesley wanted to see Big Boy so off we went. Navasota. Definitely wasn't thinking the crowd would be what we found when we got there....



My first time seeing a working steam engine and it did not disappoint!

@Dawoofles Wesley wore the shirt you sent him

 

Was totally worth it - probably a once in a lifetime experience for us.

 

O'Reillys has these bad boys for sale. I have a Pro Eagle, a Badlands, and it's probably about time for another one to join the family...

 

Say what!!

 

@texasrho83 I know you just got it. But provide some feedback on it compared to the badlands when you have a chance. Might be a good topic for its own thread.

 

That would pull a 32 foot trailer Monster

must be an amazing piece to see in person! Very cool!

 

Ok so I don't have one. I was sent this pic from a buddy who brought it to my attention cause he knows I buy dumb stuff like this.

I called up my local O'Reilly's and they looked it up in their system but couldn't find any available to even order. He thinks it's a gimmick (sorta like the Flux Capacitor) but there are reviews...

I did find one on eBay though. Crazy expensive.

 

I can't get it in store but I could ship it too my house.

Oof


Jack price is 350, shipping is 116. Total with tax is 494 ouch... nvm if it was only a little more than the badlands it could be a good competitor but at that much more its not even close to being considered.

 

You found a place that has it and will ship?

 

I went to oreillyauto.com and loaded it into my cart and would have let me check out if I wanted. I didn't, but I had me enter all my info to populate the shipping cost.

 

If any of y'all wanna nice hotel room in Galveston, look no further than the Tremont House!

 

my wedding reception was at windletrap & we stayed there that night

top notch.

 

The drinks are top notch too

 

Merry Christmas my fellow Texans

Mrs Claus was good to me this year.



What all did y'all get?

 

I was finally able to make the most delicious waffles ever.

 

Love those waffle irons! Dad got us one that made Mickey Mouse shapes.
