This smells like BS. Were the kids enrolled at the school having the graduation? Or were illegals being chased by ICE and decided to pull into a school parking lot think it was some sort of sanctuary?

Wondering if people have recorded impacts? Never seen one on any media. Interesting.

Not once.

Why don't we ever get the heads up to pull out a telescope and watch an impact?

I might as I’m in Houston for work. Get released tomorrow and debating driving straight home or watching the game.

I'm in Lufkin with the same situation/choice.

How long do the quail usually live? Interesting idea to just kill them off every once in awhile, eat them?, and then start off new? The issue with chickens is they turn pets and stop being food/ livestock pretty quickly

I wouldn’t clean a chicken if you paid me. They’re nasty. My mom has 14 laying hens and a rooster now. If they cull they just toss them. They’re not meat birds anyway.

As to quail, this is my 4th time raising some in the last 2 decades. I made a lot of mistakes. I’m getting it dialed in though. About a 15 bird covey is all I want to take care of. The guy I got my eggs this time from told me he has over 700 quail at any given time. :ahh:

Nice. I have 3 roosters and 11 hens right now. I’m pickling about 9 dozen every week and a half. I sell a dozen pickled in a half pint jar to friends and family and the demand is higher than I can keep up with.

The extra roosters I butchered I egg washed, rolled in flour and fried. Those are my personal stash, I don’t sell those.

It’s a fun hobby, but I can’t go out of town more than 3 days with the feed and water situation. I’m going to start collecting eggs to hatch June 15th, set the incubator on June 25th and butcher my remaining adults before we go to the beach for the week of the 4th of July. Eggs should hatch a week or so after we get back. So I don’t have to ask anyone to look after them while we are gone.

I got one Celedon egg layer. I did an experiment where I took out a different hen each afternoon and put her in a storage tote until she laid her egg. Regular egg layers got a pink zip tie band. After about the 6th one I finally figured her out and put a different color zip tie on her.

I boil my eggs in my shrimp pot so I can lower the basket and drop them all at once. I like to have my water boiling, drop them for 5 minutes, remove from burner but leave them in hot water for 5 minutes, then an ice bath for 10 minutes. That's the easiest peeling egg tip I got from a facebook group. I can peel one egg in under a minute.


Candied pickled beets and jalapeno pickled eggs...


Habanero, cayenne and crawfish boil spicy pickled eggs...


Some of my quail...


I have a light on a timer that kicks on at dusk and stays on for 4 hours so they get enought light to lay all year...

I remember those middle school dances.

The OG arse man. RIP

Technically a ballon my kids gave my wife with her bundle first thing in the morning. I met my mom for lunch and snagged the balloon to add to her card and chocolates. :lol:

I mean… I did buy it all.

Website says they're still in Lufkin, Mobile, and Bossier why did the others close? it certainly seemed popular

I think Ralph and Kacoo, his name and her nickname, sold out years ago. All that remain open are independently owned. My folks met them a couple decades ago in Florida on the redneck riviera, Destin I think. Nice people that cashed out.

ETA: I don’t know if they are still alive or not. They would be in their 70’s or 80’s if I’m not mistaken.

Wait, Ralph & Kacoos existed somewhere else besides BR and my sweet memories?

BR closed. Still open in Mobile, Bossier City and Lufkin as far as I know.

I live in Shreveport, so when I saw one was where I’m working of course I ate and checked it out. Didn’t expect to see this…
