I don’t want to see another contract longer than 3 years. I’d much rather see us spend big money to get the best, SEC-proven OC and DC that we can, and hire a youngish up and comer for HC. His contract shouldn’t be crazy, but would be loaded with incentives for 1) making the playoffs, 2) winning playoff games, etc.
Make him really rich AFTER he’s done something.
Remember the practice before the Clemson game, when all Nuss did was handoff the ball?
Maybe making sense now…
It should be made illegal, it’s a cheap shot, almost targeting a defenseless player…no different than the blindside blocks that are illegal now.

Lamendolas in Gonzales has it.

I found years ago that applying Talstar not only kills the fire ants in my yard, but also the grub worms in my yard…the main food source for the mole. Then the moles would just go somewhere else…win-win.
I used a water hammer arrester for a washing machine to fix the same problem. Just screws to faucet.

re: Any issues with Shingles Vaccine?

Take Tylenol before you go to bed. I felt fine, even worked in yard, but woke up in the middle of the night with a fever.
2nd shot I took Tylenol before bed and had no issues. Told wife to take Tylenol and she had no issues with either shot.
I’m 57 and just got my first CVA in 35 Whelan. I’m now using it all season long…the ballistics aren’t that different from the 308 I’ve always used, and I can use it during the primitive weapon weeks of season. Get one in SS with muzzle brake, use $$ left in budget for a nice scope, and your son may not ever need a new rifle for deer.
My family has enjoyed when I make a shrimp and arugula pizza. I use just a little marinara, add pesto, pizza seasoning, and cheeses. Then I add shrimp (raw) that have some Paul Prudhome’s Seafood Magic sprinkled on them. Cook the pizza till done, then pull and add arugula on top before slicing. Arugula burns too quickly to go on grill.

Great thing about Lake Hamilton is you can choose where you want to anchor for whatever water temperature you want, from 53 F at the north dam to 80 F at the south dam/shallow areas.
To me, they’re like a freshwater speckled trout…teeth and all. VERY good eating.
DJ Durkin, unless he’s holding out for a HC job. He did a 1-yr transformation of the Ole Miss defense, so aTm poached him. He had the number 1 defense in the SEC last year and is currently available, so he checks a LOT of boxes.

re: .45ACP pistol choice?

Posted by knight4 on 1/1/24 at 7:27 am to
I also have an HK USP 45. It’s the most reliable pistol I own (other than a revolver). I reload and have been able to feed it anything from lightly loaded lead SWC rounds for practice, to hot, jacketed personal defense rounds, and it doesn’t jam or have a failure to fire, ever.

Agree with CP3, above. Plan to include 15% tip. Boat ride will likely be 1-1/2 to 2 hours each way, depending on seas. Not a bad idea to take Dramamine, or something similar, especially if you haven’t gone before. I’ve made 2 great trips with Paradise Outfitters , Capt. Scott. Good luck!
I grind 10# venison with 10# brisket and 2# of bacon, and stuff into the LEM 2# bags with no seasoning, that way they can be used for anything. It stretches the deer meat and gives it a good amount of fat. I only coarse grind once, to avoid affecting the texture of the meat from too much handling. It makes awesome burgers…the only ones my family wants now.

re: Is hunter orange a legit safety issue

Posted by knight4 on 11/30/23 at 11:18 am to
I faithfully wear orange, even though I’m hunting on private/leased land. I do, however, question the value in wearing orange when I walk out 30 min after sunset…if someone is taking a shot at me, they have to be shooting at a flashlight, or noise with light, neither case would orange help. And after a night hunt is the only time I’ve been stopped and checked for orange by WLF.

re: Deer Processing Percentages?

For burger meat, I mix 10# deer with 10# brisket and 2# bacon…no seasoning, so it can be used in anything, but makes GREAT burgers, among other things.

re: Reverse searing steak

Posted by knight4 on 11/1/23 at 9:28 pm to
For medium rare filets (1.5” to 2” thick), I put on grill for 5 min. each side at 300F, then take steaks off and heat grill to 600F and put the steaks back on for 4 min. each side. Easy to do on BGE or ceramic grill. For gas grill I try to have one end burner on high the whole time, get grill to 300F, put steaks on opposite end of grill. Then crank up all burners and put steaks over first/hottest burner for ~500F… may need extra minute or two.
As long as you have dissimilar metals, you’ll have galvanic corrosion. I’d go with a traditional/old school expandable rubber plug (or else the threaded plug shown previously). Other option is to keep all your dissimilar metals painted/coated, so the water/electrolyte can’t enable the corrosion.

I haven’t been in a few years, but used to be able to get some shrimp at the BR Farmer’s Market. They had been flash frozen (maybe on the boat, not sure). Bought them many times.
