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
Every big school has a GM model. Welcome to modern college football.
Gonna be en explosion of trannies a few years from now after redneck dads lived vicariously through Colton’s flat billed hat and super cool blue sunglasses
Am I not supposed to be doing this these days? They’re in more danger in a gas station in Louisiana than they are in a locked car.

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.

This crawfish boiling outside of southern Louisiana is getting out of hand. Boiling should be illegal outside of longitude of the Sabine River and the Pascagoula River and north of the latitude of Alexandria, LA and in Lafayette where they boil in plain water and put the seasoning on in an ice ches
They were boiling crawfish in south Alabama before those reject Canadians even made landfall in Louisiana. The Mobile Tensaw Delta has an enormous Crawfish habitat, and more species than the rest of the world combined.

I think everyone can agree

Best: Detroit
Worst: Charlotte

And Atlanta is great considering the passenger load and if you hate it you don’t travel much.

I’ve had all of them. Tough to beat a good Dexter, especially where they’re priced.
Just make sure your clipped on FatMax isn’t dusty

He and Wendell love New Orleans so much they haven’t lived here for decades. Pick someone who lives in the city.
Regardless of the performer, it just wasn’t entertaining. The lady Gaga pregame awkward walkout with the fox crew was at least entertaining when it got the to musical part. This was just boring.

If it’s BS, and “everyone knows” it’s BS, then it isn’t a negotiation tactic. Who will change their position based upon a known BS statement? Oil, pharmaceuticals, timber, steel, and a million other things are about to get “Trumpflation” of between 10% and 25%. And every person living in America is going to have to pay.
because the Canadians will suffer immensely and they’ll have to negotiate. They’re already in bad shape. They import 78% of their goods from the US and we have enormous leverage

It’s absolutely amazing there are people that don’t understand this is just a negotiation tactic. We’re not just slapping a tariff on Canada and gonna let it ride for four years.

Interesting. A friend of mine just caught a bone fish off the beach this fall outside of Destin, a very rare catch. I've only heard of 2-3 snook caught in the florida panhandle. Most of our Creeks and rivers are spring fed, so fairly constant temp year round.
that’s pretty awesome. I grew up in OBA and caught a bonefish on a pompano rig a long time ago. Every now and then I hear of a couple being caught - don’t know if it’s hurricanes doing it or what. The area also has a great permit fishery now too.

I don’t know why this area has so many snook. Quite a few are hanging around Mississippi too. They seem to have adjusted to the winters and hopefully they spread along the coast.

Not arguing with you, but this doesn’t seem right.
they’re all in the river systems east of the bay. My brother lives there and he and the local guides fish for them all the time

They’re purposely not putting everything on social media, but have been doing a lot of work with the state marine resources

I may be remembering this wrong, but I thought a kid in Baldwin County, Alabama caught one recently.
there are a ton of snook in Alabama. You can go out and successfully target them.

One could argue a more competent executive branch would have done more to fix this before it became an issue
I agree, but they were going to hold out until now no matter what.
