re: AT&T fiber to node and fiber to home

Jeez. I would kill for 75mbps. In my town, in my neighborhood, the only non-satellite internet service I can get is AT&T. I get 6mbps. 6 in and of itself is not terrible, except that the latency is maddening. You can click a link and it just sits there for between 1 and 5 seconds before it actually ...

re: ZTR Mowers best choices

I have 2 of the Dixie Chopper 50" Mowers and have been pleased with both. One is the Silver Eagle w/ the 25 HP and 12cc pumps. My other is 27HP and 16 cc pumps. They perform about the same, but I expect the Classic (27 hp) to last longer just because of the bigger engine and pumps. Mine don't h...
When I lived in BR I used to build fences (back in the 90's). Scott Fence out on Highland Road (Don't know if they still exist) is where I would get CYPRESS pickets. Much prettier than pine or cedar, and lasted longer than either. Price wise, the cypress was actually cheaper than the cedar at the ti...

re: Mowers - Honda bought and reviewed

I owned a Honda walk behind for about 15 years. The dual blades were great on the clippings. That said, I have a bigger yard now and use a Dixie Chopper 50" Silver Eagle. It doesn't care what type or how thick the grass is. It just cuts and cuts really fast. I can't imagine ever going back to a walk...

re: How much roux for 2 gallons of gumbo?

Posted by KyleK on 12/18/16 at 9:00 pm
Sounds about right, depending on how dark your roux is.You may want to do a quick saute on your okra before putting it in your gumbo. Or, you can eliminate some of the slime w/ some apple cider vinegar. Then, use a little Steen's Cane Syrup to counteract the vinegar taste....

A chef friend of mine explained it to me this way: I tried to find out what's really happening with the chemistry of roux and what seems to be happening is that the flour dissolved in oil keeps the starch molecules separate and prevents clumping which would happen if you just add flour to a liqui...
Shane Martinez in St Amant. His website is KrazyKajun.com. I bought my 45 gal pot in a setup like that from him (he doesn't sell them that big anymore). While I was there, he made a stand for another of my pots. It wasn't skirted or on wheels, but it was a custom size. He made it in about 15 minutes...

The 2-4-D will kill the clover, but it will kill the grass also. Atrazine will kill the clover and not kill the St. Augustine. I am not positive on the Bermuda. I would recommend contacting your County Agent before spraying anything. They live for this stuff and are typically very good....

I own a Gammo Whisper and would not buy it again. I had a Beeman before that which I preferred, however it broke very quickly. After the Beeman broke (cocking mechanism) I went w/ the Gammo. It sounds cheap when you shoot it. There is a site w/ videos on how to shoot a crack barrel. Believe me, tech...
