she’s an AIPAC shill. But the boomers in Louisiana only care what Trump says.
She was picked because she’s controllable. So whether she’s for or against it, she will do what the lobbyist on the hill tell her to do. That’s how you get an endorsement.
At this point in the 2nd term, being a Ron supporter doesn’t look too bad. Unless you’re for amnesty, new wars, high deficits, Chinese students, and a trillion H1Bs taking every decent job
Helena is just doing it to Chelsey because she doesn’t like her as she was a big Royce supporter. Chelsey is horrible, but she’s not wrong here.

I like where we just stopped mass deportations and fired everyone that supported that policy.

Pushing for the continuation of FISA 702 may be MAGA, but it sure as hell isn’t American.

I hope they suspend your license. There are plenty of parking places on side streets. You tear up my boulevard, you need to pay.
There are absolutely no spots available.

But I would park near Claiborne and catch an Uber.

I planned on tenting my Meyer lemon. Someone last yr posted they also used a heat tracing cord to keep things warm. I’m assuming you just put that on the ground near the tree and not directly on it?
It depends on hot how those things get. Incandescent Christmas lights that raise the temp a degree or two degrees make a huge difference, if you’re going that route.

I don’t know where you live, but Meyers are a pretty hardy creation compared to most citrus. It’s going to be mid twenties here and my new Meyer was planted last year. I’m just going to throw a frost cloth over it, put a blanket on the ground/around the base, and that’s it. It will take about 2 minutes to do and I’m not worried about it at all.

Water them Sunday before it gets cold. Cover around the ground to the drip line with blankets. I then just get a pool noodle from Lowe’s and wrap the base of the tree. Then put a blanket over the top and if you can stake it to the ground covering the tree.

You’re trying to keep the
1. Heat in the ground
2. the heat trapped around the tree all the way to the ground. Just wrapping the foliage is a waste of time

My wife has had two. They share parts with the 5th gen 4Runner and the V8 is one of the best engines ever made, so it’s obviously reliable and plenty of parts available.

One issue they’re known for is valley plate leak - usually after 120k.

Surprisingly if you drive normal it gets better mpg than listed. We got 22mpg on the interstate today.
Lane seems like a custom boat kind of guy. Not sure Shane has time to slow down his Viking and talk to a peasant like Lane

Saban works for Alabama so I’m guessing there might be a small conflict of interest

I turn wrenches in a plant every day. My small wrenches from 3/8 - 13/16 are gearwrench ratcheting wrenches. My big wrenches from 7/8 - 1 1/4 are Husky. Impact sockets and hammers from HF. All get used and abused way more than most people's tools ever will.
My 3/8 that I use now are all Gearwrench along with their 90t ratchets. They’ve been awesome.

I’ve switched to all Dewalt for impact wrenches and 3/8,1/2 electric ratchet. The power stack batteries are small and not having to switch from 12v to 18/20vmakes life a lot easier. I also hate the new trigger switch on the new Stubbys

Depends on the application. I have snap on and knipex down to husky, but Icon is pretty hard to beat for value these days.
