Tonneau vs Soft Camper Shell

Posted by shadowlsu on 4/2/24 at 3:10 pm
I just got a n2021 Tundra and debating between the two. I had a Bak Flip on the old truck and it lasted me 12 years. I kind of like the idea of having more storage room for trips/camping etc. There were times when my old truck was packed to the gills or had a taller item where I had to leave it p...

Prep for Bringing Boat for Repairs

Posted by shadowlsu on 3/21/23 at 11:00 am
Other than anal lube, what do you guys recommend I take out of my boat before bringing it in to have work done? Should I remove all but 1 battery? My Lowrance unit is mounted into the console, but I can probably get it out if it's recommended. Life jacket, ropes, bumpers, etc. ok to leave in it? ...

Where to Fish This Weekend

Posted by shadowlsu on 1/4/23 at 1:55 pm
I'm looking to take the girlfriend out for her first fishing trip this weekend and looking for some advice on where to go. I don't normally fish this time of year, so any input is welcome. The temp will be mid to upper 60's so more like spring than winter, but I wouldn't think the fish would fully...

re: Unique deviled eggs recipes?

Posted by shadowlsu on 11/22/22 at 2:29 pm
I smoke mine and people love them. They aren't grey, but do have a caramel hue to them. Boil/cut in half and remove the yolk and lightly mash yolks in a metal or heat resistant bowl. I use a cookie cooling rack to put the whites on so I can remove them from the smoker when done. The whites can st...

Group Emailing

Posted by shadowlsu on 11/14/22 at 2:10 pm
I just got elected to serve as secretary for a group that I'm a member of and part of my duties is to send out emails to all the members. We average about 2-3 emails per month about different events or quarterly newsletters, so it isn't that much work. But, we have a lot of members and the old sec...

re: Dressing up a small metal building

Posted by shadowlsu on 10/26/22 at 2:58 pm
I'm not a big fan of drilling holes in a "water tight", maintenance free material, and covering it in a material that requires maintenance (regular painting, caulking, etc.). People do it all the time, but I guess I'm lazy like that. You would also have to move that flashing on the sides so water ...

re: Robot mowers: what do you know?

If they had a machine that would weed eat for you, I'd pay whatever it costs. I don't mind mowing since I have a ZTR, but those afternoon showers mixed with weekend rainouts have my grass really high by the time I cut sometimes. It would be nice to set that thing to run a couple of times a week in...

Cracker sized bologna on, you guessed it...crackers. It came in a tube and you would slice it yourself. If we were feeling really fancy my mom would buy us some Easy Cheese to squirt on top. A few pages back someone mentioned graham crackers in milk, we would do vanilla wafers in milk. It look...
