re: Next up on California’s fight for equality…banning Clear, which lets you skip TSA lines
Posted by RingLeader on 4/23/24 at 8:42 pm
Dumb... Clear just funnels their people into the TSA Pre-check line. Not the regular line. Anyone can get the TSA Pre-check done if you're willing to take the time to do it.... Well, most anyone.
And, oddly, its not wealthy travelers that I see using Clear. ...

re: Lost My Father To Cancer Today
Posted by RingLeader on 3/2/24 at 6:56 pm
Your dad was a helluva guy. So many great memories of him. 42+ years that I can count of fishing, duck hunting, crawfish boils, fixing random broken shite with him on a Saturday… the list goes on and on.
He was a good man, a good husband, a good father, a good friend, and a good fishing buddy. Al...
re: HELOC options in Louisiana?
Posted by RingLeader on 2/29/24 at 7:46 am
I have 250k heloc with Hancock Whitney. Got it in 2020, introductory rate was 5.9% for 6 months Or something like that. It’s currently sitting at 9%.
It’s good if you need fast cash with no questions asked. Pay it back quick, because 9% adds up quick. ...

I feel like the Foret family owned or was involved with this one. I grew up with a guy that’s unfortunately no longer with us, and if I recall correctly his family was in the shrimp bidnus. But I may be mistaken. ...

re: Tupelo - good place to live?
Posted by RingLeader on 1/19/24 at 10:24 am
Some damn good eating in Tupelo. We eat well when we are there. Weather is hot in the summer for sure. They get some cold days in the winter. The downtown area is very clean and well organized. Feels very safe to me. Good outdoor live music most of the year. I think more and more of the older build...

Make sure there’s no water collected and pipework or T-top legs. A good fabrication guy will put little drain holes drilled in the pipework, check those with a paperclip or something to be sure they aren’t clogged. Found this one out the hard way about 10 years ago.
I also use a shop vac to be s...

A couple people I know have been involved in various real estate reality shows.
A friend of the family was asked to be on Buying the Bayou by a friend of theirs that was a realtor. The guy is actually a river pilot, so he doesn’t need the little money they throw at you. They had to basically mov...
re: Blue Wings and Shovelers
Posted by RingLeader on 11/30/23 at 7:05 pm
Our lease (Bayou Penchant/Chene) is pretty much blue wing and shoveler mecca. Not the most glamorous ducks, but they eat.
I was in South Dakota pheasant hunting last month and the majority of the ducks I saw were blue wing & shovelers. I guess that’s where our birds come from. ...
