Not sure where you are located, but in Tangipahoa they will come spray your yard for free. It helps a lot for a few days then they are right back.

just felt around the seal from the outside and I cant feel any place where the cold air feels like its escaping

Same with mine. I couldn't tell anywhere where it seems cold. Once removed it looked absolutely fine. To be honest, the new one looked worse as it was folded during packaging. After massaging it with a heat gun it straightened out. Ice problem went away over night. The door seal was like $45 off amazon.

I was just dealing with this on my garage stand up freezer. It wouldn't freeze up, but it would ice up bad every other day. Google said the seal was bad, but it looked fine to me. Changed the seal and it's been perfect since.

I just got a DJI mini 3 not too long ago. It's pretty legit for the money. It's goes surprisingly far with clear video for such a small package. I think they are on sale right now at best buy for like $350.00.

Canik has really stepped their game up the last few years. This looks awesome. I wonder why they didn't just make a carry TTI comp since they already have a relationship with Taran.

I have the dewalt system. Blower, weedeater, fan, pole saw, and power tools. I love all of them. The blower is incredible. I got knockoff 15AH 60V batteries off amazon and they have been working great.

re: Upgrading the trigger shoe on a Glock 43X

Posted by jdavid1 on 6/8/26 at 7:55 am to boxcarbarney

I'm not sure if changing the shoe is going to help you. You must have some thick fingers if it's rubbing against the guard and under the trigger. I would try opening up the inside of the guard with a dremel first. If you do change the shoe I would also suggest getting a ghost connector while you're in there. It's very cheap and it's totally worth it.

We've always had a no gig or net policy. It's just more fun catching with your hands. I will be bringing a net for my boys this year though being they are 6 and 8.

South pass is clear. Even a lot of the cuts in south pass are clear now.

I guess I got lucky with my TX22. It's run pretty flawless even suppressed. It wouldn't run with my sparrow suppressor but runs great with my q erector. Using CCI standard ammo.

We got a yellow lab from Lazy Bar M Retrievers out of Texas right at two years ago. We couldn't be happier with him. Chip is a great guy and produces some fine dogs.

re: Fishing Beaver's Bend State Park, Oklahoma

Posted by jdavid1 on 5/8/26 at 7:26 am to Hawk7723

We went last February. I got a guide for me and my 7 year old. It was awesome. We caught our limit in about two hours. It would have been sooner, but it was way more finesse than we are used to. My son kept trying to set the hook like it was a 5lb bass and kept missing the fish. We fished around the small dam early, and then moved down to the "beach area". That's where we did the best. We used small circle hooks with small plastic worms. If you get a guide, Steve Branson is the guy.

Same thing with my .44. It always hangs up on the last round in the mag. It was sent in twice and they "changed the springs". Sits in the safe now. They are cool, but not worth the price. Especially the price of ammo.

re: Tree guy has insurance but no license

Posted by jdavid1 on 4/22/26 at 12:50 pm to 4thand20

Cutting trees is a dangerous job. High probability of some sort of accident on your property. I wouldn't give his insurance or your insurance any way to not cover if something were to happen. Not having a proper license would be a good reason not to cover damages/accidents.
