re: Building a House on Highland
Posted by captainahab on 9/14/26 at 1:02 pm to HeyShowMeYourTDs
A buddy of mine that lives on Leeward said the house that is being built is actually going to be off of Guava (not Highland) which is the back third of the large lot that the Claitor's old house was on.

BGE vs Pellet
Posted by captainahab on 9/10/26 at 1:57 pm
Tried to search so apologize in advance if this has been covered....
I have had a Large BGE (not Extra Large or XXL) for about 10 years and also have a built-in gas Blaze grill.
I use the gas grill for quick stuff (steak, burgers, chicken breasts, fish, etc) during the week.
I use the BGE to do ribs or pulled pork once a month and the customary turkey at Thanksgiving and Christmas.
I don't do a ton of cooking out but thinking of adding a Pellet Grill to the mix because people I know love them. Unfortunately, I don't know anyone that have both a BGE and Pellet so looking for some comparisons.
A comparison (pros/cons of each) from people that have both the BGE and Pellet would be great.
If I add the Pellet, I dont want to spend more than $600-$800 because I am not sure how much I will use it. I have read a lot of comparisons on Traeger/Pit Boss/Weber/Recteq but some say quality of brand x has gone down over the years, some say x is clearly the best, etc. Any recommendations?
Thanks in advance for you replies!

If someone ever did some research on him and his contracts with the state, things would get interesting.
Several years ago, a group of kids (the media refers to them as "teens") where breaking into cars in several neighborhoods along Highland Road. They hit my neighborhood and stole some of my stuff. Assistant DA gives me the wrap sheet of one of the teens and it is a mile long. I ask how the kid keeps getting arrested and still on the streets and he replies "Collis Temple". According to the ADA, Collis Sr and his wife were getting a bunch of federal and state dollars running half-way houses and the kids were never supervised. I have not proof of this and not sure if this is still going on but it sounded a lot like the fraud that the people are getting busted for in Minnesota.

Kiva's
A little Baton Rouge restaurant nostalgia....
Kiva's dad (pretty sure his name was Ken) was one of the managers (pretty sure the main guy) that ran The Village for Ms Fannie Distafano. Ms Fannie's son Joe, owned Jack Sabin's restaurant (also on Airline). When he closed down he went to work for his mother at The Village. Joe's son was Joey Distafano (RIP) who also was a good chef and restaurantuer.
When The Village closed, Ken took a lot of the staff and opened Kiva's (named after Ken's son). For some reason, I think Ken and/or Kiva were involved in opening up Portabello's (across from Mike Anderson).

You may be thinking of Gautreaux's. They are on Airline but basically where Industriplex (which turns into Pecue) hits Airline. Big Echo dealer.

If you don't want to DIY it, have her call some local antique shops and get the recommend a mobile furniture repair guy. Or you can Google "mobile furniture repair near me".
I've had success having a guy come to my house to work on a large antique armoire before.

Mine would randomly go into limp mode. It would also randomly shutter but not go into limp mode. Brought it to a mechanic and it did not throw any codes. Ended up being a loose battery cable at the terminal.

ATT 1GB @ $90 per month for just internet. Been very satisfied.
Dropped Cox a couple of years ago.
Using YouTube TV and my wife has a bunch of add-on's (Netflix, Paramount Plus, Apple TV, etc.) but still pay much less than Cox with their TV package.

re: Whole Home Generator / Specific Room Breaker Tripping
Posted by captainahab on 5/12/26 at 6:50 am to captainahab
Wanted to give you guys an update.
The breaker is Arc - i didnt look close enough. In the old days, the older Arc's (that I was used to) had a yellow button. The newer GE's that are in there now have a black reset so at first glance from afar, I thought it was non-arc.
Electrician buddy of mine said Arc's can be more sensitive to generators kicking on. He said to try a non-arc. Swapped it out and we have had some bounces in power since yesterday and it never tripped.
You guys were right and it was a simple as a breaker going bad.
Thanks for the help!

Is it a 15 or 20 amp breaker?
20 amp. Also the fridge is only 4 years old and it has never tripped a breaker. As mentioned, it has never tripped until recently and it only tripped when the generator kicked on.
Halliburton - from my understanding, the "smart load manager" is programmed to load shed the high draw items like HVAC, oven, electric drier, etc. You can flip the breaker while under Generator power and it works perfectly - even when the generator switches back to utility power.
Sure sounds like the breaker based on what others have suggested.
Thanks again for the replies folks!

Not an arc fault and not on a gfci circuit. Will replace the breaker. Many thanks for the quick responses!
Whole Home Generator / Specific Room Breaker Tripping
Posted by captainahab on 5/1/26 at 2:37 am
5 year old house. Whole Home Generator for last 4 years and have experienced multiple short term (minutes) and long term (2-3 days) power failures. Within the last 2 weeks, we have had one outage that lasted 4 hours and one that lasted 5 minutes. Both times, a breaker would trip for a specific room. No big deal but that room has a refrigerator in it. Never has happened before (4 years and many outages). Appears to only trip when auto transfer switches to Generator. Does not trip when it switches back to regular power. No other breakers in the house are being tripped.
Only items on the breaker are fridge, router, Sonos, and a printer.
Any guidance would be appreciated!
