Not in Lafayette and a little trouble but this family owned business in Dallas went through a couple of my 1970's Ambassador 5000s. One just needed cleaning $29.99 and $15.00 FedEx. The other one needed several parts and it was a staggering $39.56 plus shipping. Fixing to mail them another one.

They have a website with a repair form to print and put in box with reel.

Boeuf WMA opening morning. Launched boat and motored to isolated spot. Other hunters have boats, too. At 0700, heat, mosquitoes, and gunfire reminded me of images through books and movies of 1970 Ashau Valley, South Vietnam. ***sigh***
Were you able to stop the leak or did you have to buy a another container?....wink...grin.

Shot a couple times early as a handful of local birds flew by in Franklin Parish. Waiting on flight birds. Greenjeans told a buddy that weather last week pushed local birds south but not strong enough to push flight birds down. Story checks out.
Reminds me few years ago Saturday night hunting in Bossier City in a dark 'cesspool of sin'. Slipped a cougar back to the motel and when I turned on the light, it was a black panther! Next day hit a massage parlor and sign said self service.
Not giving up, called a prostitute and she says, "No Homer. Not on the first date."
Sigh.....
Tigerdad, curious to know if you have ever read the 1976 Harry Crews book 'A Feast of Snakes?'
It's about a fictional rattlesnake rodeo in Mystic, Georgia. The book theme is rattlesnakes, with a bunch of drinking, dog fighting, and fornicating thrown in. The author, Harry Crews (deceased) was a college professor in Gainesville. I found him from an old People magazine story where he was drying out at Rod Elrod's catfish pond in Winnsboro. He had some crazy, humorous, and macabre characters in his books. I wonder if they really call portajohns 'Johnny on the spots' in rural Georgia?
Can someone lock this thread....wink...grin. Just ordered reel and sunglasses!

They have started cutting corn around my buddy's place in Gilbert. (Franklin Parish). The power lines behind his house are sagging with doves. Last year had the best hunt in twenty years. Flight birds in 10 - 12 bird groups cruising by at just under mach 1. I don't deer hunt, but live for this!

Pretty sure your decoy purchase didn't shutdown Howards Brothers...wink. grin. We had one in Columbia, LA and I loved it.
Second the grease. Anything petroleum or containing hydrocarbons and the dirt dauber won't touch. My 3.5 Mercury quit peeing and I blew air through the bleed hose. Still plugged. While searching for impeller part number, my buddy grabs the air hose and blows through the foot. Pees like a race horse now.
Accidentally hit the red arrow. Sorry and hit the green arrow but didn't erase the down vote. I am a dumbass.

When I started working offshore 1981 they sent me to Bay Marchand (Fourchon). The crew was mostly Cutoff/ Galliano locals and called it "Fort of July." They couldn't figure out how this Columbia (Monroe) redneck got hired. Then one guy exclaims " McKeetin connection!" Reference to former Governor John McKeithen from Columbia. I just let them believe it.

Lafourche Lake (Beouf WMA) would have been last on this list. Did not see another boat this morning. Spent four hours looking for that big, beautiful bream bed. Not one keeper. Where's my Brookshire card....sigh.

re: Phil Robertson passed away

Here's another I met Phil story. On the way home from working on a pipeline in Turkey 2005, Houston airport, headed to Monroe. There was Phil and his two boys, sitting alone at our gate. I knew him from DU Banquet and Beouf WMA 1990's, so I plopped down with them. While we chatted, an announcement informed our flight has been switched to another terminal. Not a different gate, a different terminal. I told them let's head to the tram. When we got to our destination, the PA announced prepare for sudden stop. One of the boys stuck his arms straight out and the force from the stop pushed the back glass out of the tram. Phil, with his monotone delivery, states "son, you done tore up the train." I was crying, as it was only plexiglass and the other people were freaking out.
Not one of the Five Shot brothers, but one morning hunting Beouf WMA I killed 3 ducks with two shots. My buddies were skyblasting, so I slipped along the bank of Crew Bayou and two woodducks came flying treetop, right down the middle. One shot and both fell. Little later, I snuck up on a lone gadwall and Arkansawed him.( on the water). When I walked back to my buddies, thier eyes were big as cowpiles!
