yeah trying to figure out what AA is


In St. Helena Parish, they’re known as “learners”

Parts are abundant for most GM vehicles of almost any era. I worked on a 74 C10 for a while.

Whether it’s worth the trouble depends on what your plan is. If it’s to flip something, it could be worth it but that depends a lot on how much you plan to do yourself and how much you value your time. If it’s just to have something you enjoy working on and enjoy driving, then yeah it’s definitely worth it.

Square bodies are great vehicles and Chevy engines are so easy to work on. As I mentioned, parts are everywhere and there are so many resources out there (YouTube, forums, etc) if you need help.

Rust can play a huge role in the decision making process though, even in the South. Body rust isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker, just keep in mind what is required to fix it and whether you will do that work yourself. If the frame is rusted, I personally would walk away.

So what are you thinking about working on?

Guilty? Lol I spend half my time day dreaming about what we could have done different to win. Endless what ifs ans could have beens. The U.S. Federal Government has turned into an unfathomable monster of wasteful rot and spending.


Same here. I read about it a lot and it’s like watching a movie over and over again that you already know the ending but you’re just hoping maybe this time it could be different.

But it’s only halftime. We’ll get ‘em in the second half!

Now we can get true compact pickups back. Chevy S10, Jeep Comanche, actual Ranger, Nissan hardbody, etc. Give me any of those with a straight 6 and a 5 speed. Also with hand crank windows, and buttons and knobs on the dash, not a massive iPad screen.
So did the Big Beautiful Bill address CAFE standards at all? Or is there other forthcoming legislation that does so?
I’m finally old enough that I’ve become the “get off my lawn guy” and I hate any colloquialisms that have arisen in the last couple of years. I’m an older millennial and Gen Z kids and their little alpaca fig fluff haircuts annoy me so much.

Some of the dumber terms I’ve heard frequently: bruh, cooked, cooking, lowkey, fiya, cringe, rizz, era, yaasss (often accompanied by the equally annoying “queen”). This is not an exhaustive list but some of the worst ones off the top of my head.

The fact that I had nothing better to do in the last 5 minutes than type all that crap out is more of an indictment on me than Gen Z tho haha. I never thought I’d become the grumpy old man. I know Gen X and Boomers felt the same way about us though and the cycle will continue forever I’m sure.

I have to admit that I have done this since leaving Mississippi for the midwest…..and when I catch myself doing it, I am disappointed that I did not seize an opportunity to culturally enrich my midwestern brethren. Thanks for the reminder. I will work on it…..


The first step is admitting you have a problem. You are on the path to recovery now. I believe in you!

Unfortunately, I hear it all the time all over the South. I get as triggered by it as a blue-haired liberal watching Fox News.

Make “you guys” “y’all” again!
Southerners saying “you guys” instead of “yall”.


It made me think of that main zombie from the end of the I am Legend movie
Dixie Chicken is very overrated.

RX pizza is amazing.

Koppe Bridge is okayish, but Grub Burger and Burger Mojo are better. Get the Goat burger from burger mojo.

Fuego is good but don’t eat too much of it.

Layne’s doesn’t hold a candle to Cane’s so don’t waste your time. Chicken Express is better than Layne’s but that ain’t saying much.

If you want to venture off the beaten path, Top of the Hill Greasy Burgers in Bryan is a hidden gem.

Go to HEB for their made-in-house tortillas.

BCS isn’t as bland and boring as people make it seem, but it also isn’t as amazing as Aggies think it is. Source: lived here in BCS for a while.

Speaking of, I think a Northshore team could be a good idea for Mandeville. Put a new stadium in Pelican Park off the newly approved second entrance road near 1088/I-12 It would connect to Tammany Trace and would be a gold mine if they could lure 5% of the ten million kids/parents who seem to descend on the park every night of the year.


Yes I’ve been thinking and hoping for this for years! Call them the Mandeville Mudbugs or something corny like that. Covington Crawfish could also work if a Northshore team was up that way
