I've seen it on multiple menus often served with chimichurri. Back in the day, and before it got popular, the butcher would take it home.

SIRIUS Ch. 33 First Wave often gave updates on Mike and how hard he fought for 3o+ years with lymphoma & blood cancer. His wife Jules was also a member of The Alarm playing keyboard and singing backup vocals. RIP MP

68 Guns was another solid song

The fried chicken place behind Pizza Hut is good too. It recently changed its name, can't remember what it is now. It's not the greatest place for dine in, but the chicken is legit.

owned by a poster on TD. :cheers: I've been there a dozen times since I do business in M-ville. I called it Big arse Chicken b/c of the giant sized chicken pcs. pretty sure it T-RAK's Big Chicken and they also process deer and make sausage for hunters

Vanessa is a strong not guilty lean.

nope, she's guilty as fukc ... and more crooked than Alfortish. She opened her law practice in 2017 after graduating from Loyola with her JD in 2015. Within 3-4 years of being on her own, Motta was representing clients in over 2 dozen tractor-trailer / car accidents. That doesn't happen in the real world with relatively new practicing Plnt atty's. Alfortish was setting everything up, including forming a Medical, LLC business that would pay for the doctor recommended surgeries. Motta would pay him back after settling the case. Alfortish is accused of killing Motta's client who decided to cooperate and testify for the State.

Habibi's Lebanese restaurant is legit is you like the cuisine. The baked Knafeh dessert is some of the best I've ever had
As stated above, this dude is always in legal legal trouble.

Alfortish (a disbarred attorney and prior magistrate judge) was a former President of the Louisiana Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association . In 2011 he pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud, identity fraud, and health-care fraud in connection with rigging the 2008 Louisiana HBPA election in which he won a second term of office. He was sentenced to serve 46 months in prison.

Alfortish is also a party in pending New Mexico legal dispute involving multiple racetracks. That litigation began when the New Mexico Horsemen’s Association sued Sunray Gaming of New Mexico, asserting Sunray was violating or intended to violate the Interstate Horseracing Act by allowing interstate off-track wagering without first obtaining permission from the NMHA. Albuquerque Downs and Ruidoso Downs intervened in the case with various causes of actions against NMHA, Dr. Paul Jenson, and Alfortish.

Alfortish (when he had a license to practice law) sued the N.O. Saints back in 2000. He represented a female Saints employee who accused the organization of wrongful termination after she rejected sexual advances from her supervisor. He also represented his Mom (former SaintSations cheerleading coach/director) in a federal discrimination lawsuit based on her not receiving payrates and raises commensurate with male employees. Both suits were settled out of court in 2001.

Pussy is undefeated

One of the greatest NFL coaches who is a control freak is nothing more than putty in this girl’s hands.
Chez Francois is open on Sundays in Lafayette. Worth a call to see if they have live crabs
3,000 screaming fans at the Box or 25,000 screaming fans in shock at Rosenblatt …. Which one do you think was more electric ?

No brainer it was WM walkoff
Ewers was the best QB on Texas’ roster. He was 21-4 over the last 2 seasons and led Texss to the CFB playoffs each of those years. He is a nice CFB QB but doesn’t translate to an NFL game changer. He is equivalent to Colt McCoy

Found the Proof on optics planet with a 1 to 3 month wait (hoping that stays real). Not many in stock options I could find.

Not to be a bearer of bad news, just being honest and stating some facts.
I’m hoping and praying your business transaction with Optics Planet works out. Easily one of the worst Inet businesses with zero customer support. Been reported to the BBB thousands of times. Notorious for advertising low prices and fast delivery times. In reality, they have very little in stock and order items direct from the manufacturer. Lead / delivery time is the same as from the manufacturer. Trying to get in touch with someone to ask about your order is a Royal PIA.

Fingers crossed you get your barrel as advertised and delivered in a timely manner.

Reach out to me if you have any questions as I’ll help you anyway possible
Saints have a lot of holes to fill and need depth - CB, TE, WR, OT, QB, DE edge rusher. The latter 3 were addressed so far. Brandon Cooks was signed in the offseason although he’s a short term fix on a team that needs a healthy, game changer WR1 and complimentary WR2. Would be real nice to have a TE that teams fear

So, I made a few purchases on this build.

congrats on your build and components purchase. :cheers:
Now you have to find the needle in the haystack (pre-fit barrel) or order a barrel and ship to a GS to cut, chamber, and crown.

Any custom barrel manufacturer will provide a barrel that will easily shoot 1/2" or less if you handload, and/or do your part. Kreiger, Bartlein, Pac-Nor, PROOF, Criterion, HART, McGowen, K&P, Benchmark, Schneider, etc ... all make quality barrels. Ballpark price for a S.S. blank is $399-$450 and GS work is around $375 .... total would be in the $800~850 range. CF barrels will set you back another $350 total with prices for a CF pre-fit chambered barrel around $1150~1200.

I'll call around and see what I can come up with for you. On most pre-fit CF barrels, the norm seems to be 22" or 24". Shorter barrels can be custom ordered yet may have a 6-9 month lead time.

FWIW, I located a Kelbly ATLAS light action (black NiTride finish - 24 ozs.) for $1025 and a prefit PROOF 6.5PRC barrel for $999, right at $2000 after tax and shipped to your door. Although you already bought an action, nothing wrong with an IMPACT action as they are solid and respected in the industry. Lots of options today to build what you want.

LRI based out of Sturgis, ID has a 6.5PRC reamer on hand with a 30-60 day lead time should you send them a barrel for pre-fit chambering. I've referred a lot of people to Chad including an OB member whose custom-built rifle shoots lights out. LRI sells/stocks K&P s.s. barrel blanks for $375.

Here are some barrel weights to consider.
#5 contour, S.S. 22" fluted, drop-in ready = 3 lbs 5 ozs.
PROOF CF Sendero contour, drop-in ready = 2 lbs. 10 ozs.
- the CF barrel would weigh approximately 11 ozs. or 3/4 lb. less than the S.S. barrel.

Contours for reference: The black barrel is from a Rem 700 PSS (Sendero contour)




Bartlein 3B 24" fluted. Rifles weighs 8# 13lbs. as pictured with glass.

I would have moved after the 2nd time, but not these guys. Sweep out the water, wipe down the walls, change out the electrical and back to work.

Location, Location, Location. Concrete floors throughout the brick building and electrical outlets have been elevated. Pop's got 2" of water this morning and it was gone in several hours. If Collin doesn't own the bldg, the landlord is responsible for any flood damage repairs. He's been there 10 years, and prior tenant was T-Coon's.

edit: I got over 6" of rain in Youngsville. Took me 1 hr 15 minutes (10 miles) to get to W. University by Lauras' II
Well done brother :cheers:

I remember eating that same dish at Paul’s Pirogue in Carencro. Was so impressed I’ve made it a few times. Thx for sharing
