Nathan Abshire, one of the founding fathers of Cajun music in here in Louisiana couldn’t spell his name. He worked in the local dump yard and loved what he did. This was not in the so distant past either.

Illiteracy is not new news sad to say, especially in the Deep South, but I agree, America is getting stupid.

re: Wild Duck Recipes

The no brainer is duck poppers.

I 1/4 each breast and soak in low sodium soy sauce for a couple hours.

One pack of low sodium thicker bacon, and cut it in 2/3 while it’s chilled.
One green bell pepper sliced small.
One red onion sliced small.
One small pack of cream cheese.
One pack of cheap toothpicks soaked in soy sauce.

Wrap each 1/4 breast cut in bacon strip, dollop of cream cheese, onion, pepper and then skewer.

Grill until bacon shrinks around popper and tooth picks are charred in the ends. Put in oven at 325 until bacon is cooked to your liking.

Toss in pickled jalapeno if you like heat.

Enjoy.
Costal Mississippi is full, try the next state over.
It’s all about the slab thickness and if there is metal in there. The absolute worst is firing up the jackhammer and it penetrating the slab in the first 5 seconds in every punch. Lifting the hammer out with a long bit that’s stuck will wear even the strongest guy out in :30min.

Renting a mini bobcat (t450 or something similar) is your answer. Get the forks under the slab and work it.

I believe the suggested time is 6mo. If you do the large sediment filter as one of the options on the 3 filter main manifold system, you can most probably leave that one for a while. It’s huge. The other 2 filters are your choice that you can pick from.

I would suggest getting a water test if your existing to see where you are before making the filter decision.

LINKI installed an iSpring system about 2 years ago. Depending on what you’re looking for, the filter combinations can be configured to your preference.

I also installed an inline sediment filter before the main filter manifold. Just a little cheap one from Amazon with a brass housing and a cleanout 90° switch on the bottom.

I also jumped a ground wire around the manifold in the case something was grounded on one of my older pipes that I didn’t know about.

It was a super easy install. I ended up using a pro press for all the fittings. Also make sure to add a bypass with shutoffs before and after the manifold.

re: Looking for LVP Flooring Deals

Posted by PaBon on 8/23/26 at 9:55 pm to
LVP is fairly cheap these days. I find the cheaper stuff tends to be thinner and if you have any errors in your sub flooring, you’re going to have to do quite a bit of prep before install. Now factor that labor against something a little more expensive with a vapor barrier and/or some padding, then make your decision.

I’d make sure that you’re 100% pvc and no fiber. I’ve made this mistake before. My tenant would mop the floors with (what I believe) more water then needed and after a couple years, the butt ends started to mushroom and the veneer started to chip away.

If you have a floor & decor with in driving distance of you, it will be hard to beat there pricing if they have something in stock. You can always order to the store for p/u as well.

Apparently these fires happen every year and the media is just blowing this up a bit. I wouldn’t worry.
Another vote for the Zoo. Definitely a must do for a few hours to kill. Train to Wrigley after and lunch and a souvenir with the kids.

re: Childcare on vacation?

We used a babysitting service in Costa Rica we did a couple dinners. There isn’t a better person to watch your children than a middle aged Latin woman. My son didn’t want her to leave. 10/10 would use it again. Made reservations a couple weeks before hand. Super smooth.
The buy-in is at an all time high in that area now. Unless you have a hell of a deal, I don’t think it’ll be worth it unless you absolutely love the area and use it all the time.
New Orleans or Baton Rouge, I’d use CAMPS. Great guys and do this regularly.

re: Is Long Beach MS nice?

Not a ton of water access except boat launch into ms sound. It’s ok, but I prefer the pass or BSL for food, water access points for boating and other amenities.

Take a few photos, put them in chat and ask to make partition walls. You can specify arched or whatever styles you’re thinking. You’ll get some realistic images to view.
Fall out of a deer stand and hit your head, go to a trauma center.

Cut your hand and need stitches, go to the urgent care.

You don’t want to pay for a trauma activation if you can prevent it. Not sure what insurance covers, but it’s insanely expensive.
They are fairly territorial to my knowledge. I’d put some tape on the window to define it so this situation doesn’t happen again.
Got into the jam band music in 1995. First show was Merle Saunders @ rafters in crested butte Co. Was just graduating high school. We have a couple hippies a ride out of town after the show for a few cigarettes in trade.

First WP was Halloween 96 @ UNO. This band cost me to stretch college out 6 years unfortunately. Not sure I’m mad about it.

I lost count of panic shows, I assume about 125. Sold a shoe box or ticket stubs and every Moontime edition for a small fortune.

Suplecs (metal band) used to play there every Mardi Gras evening, I believe I attempted to go one year in the early 2000’s but couldn’t rally into the door. It was always a dive bar every sense of the term. I’ve seen some other bands there as well.
C3nola travels outside New Orleans. Good guys.
