So I'll eat it. How I said that the Nola huey p does is it sets the maximum allowance of vessels to go up stream. Not the minimum clearance of MS R crossings.

Ugh....yea

And if you're trying to imply I mean it is the same down to the rivet. I'm not. But it is the sister bridge of the huey p in Nola. And the huey p in Nola does set the minimum height of bridges upstream. So tell me where I'm wrong.

They have been screwing up management of the Miss River for over a century.

blame it on your reps in Congress. UsACE follows what the lows dictates.

Look at the sediment diversion controversy lately. 20 years of studying.... engineers from left and right developed the least shitty option.....got it passed and started construction, just to have a politician whom the dredgers are funding kill it.

The bridge is low because there was no need of it being higher.

lol.....huey wanted all major ships to stop at NOLA to prevent larger ports to be built up river. The old bridge is the same as the huey p in Nola. It set the minimum height for bridges along the MS.

very interesting.

ftr, i have no idea what i just read.

it's a bunch of shite. USACE's management is dictated but federal law. When this gauge hits this number they do this....and so on. The MRC doesn't get to just dictate shite on a whim.

And "Land inside the levees". Lol bature land? Yea you own that land because you pawpaws dad bought it for super super cheap. Knowing it can flood at any time.

Same shite as the frickheads that bitch when the spillways are activated. Pissing and moaning that their camps got flooded......in a spillway......where you kin bought that land for pennies on the dollar because the FEDs can flood it when they need to relieve the river.

No idea. You can also buy in solid form, which is probably less processed. still better than seed oil, maybe? It is convenient.

Just talked to me contact at Sysco,

60 for 50# of shortening beef tallow
60 for 35# of liquid tallow.

AI says the liquid is stripped of all the beneficial preservatives of the full tallow but the full tallow is in solid form. But could be kept in the fryer if you slowly remelt it or you drain it when it is 100-120 degrees back into the container.

Im used to just keeping the oil in the fryer for 3-4 months so i might have to think of a way to keep it better. my fryer is aluminum so i could layer a sheet of cling wrap down when it cools to keep the bugs off. idk, i need to think about this.

You can get tallow in a 35lb pourable container. I have my friend at a restaurant order it for me. It’s like a $60 Sysco product.

Deep fry in tallow,

:lol: so you buy gallons and gallons of tallow to deep fry in.

I love cooking with tallow but the cost to run an actual deep fryer(not pay frying in 2 inchs of oil) is jus ttoo much to warrant.
