Keeping watch - that’s when the mud snakes start moving.

When I hit the Everglades or other swampy areas, I just wear my rubber Irish Setter or Dryshod boots and I feel well protected. And since they fit a bit loosely due to my skinny chicken legs, I feel the gap between boot & leg is beneficial. The boot is going to snag fang before it reaches leg. They are heavy and cumbersome though. Out west I’m walking rocky areas a lot, so leather/gore-tex is a bit more comfortable to walk in.

I got a pair of Rocky snake boots last year for around $200. Not bad, but a year later they are showing serious wear. Granted, I put them to good use, but I thought they’d hold up better. Decently comfortable but had their faults.

Looking to upgrade before I go west this year. I just need to find some of those $400 boots in stock to try on before I buy. Got my eye on Chippewa or maybe Danners.

…or one might argue that a pine snake is the southeastern version of a bull/gopher snake. :lol: :cheers:

I’m going hunting for Florida pine snakes later this week!

I hated that St. Louis track - such odd flow. First season in a while in which I can’t decide who to pull for.
Hunter’s chance to step out from baby bro’s shadow…
Roczen might finally get the big one…
Eli with a chance to cap off his career with another (though he should have more but was always a head case - and may be again)…

Think I’m going with Kenny, but it’ll be nice to just sit back and enjoy it. Hope Deegan jumps in for a few to play spoiler.

He is a good mid game player, that’s all. Last season he got by with having an idol. He doesn’t have that, he would’ve left earlier and wouldn’t be in this season. Sometimes luck has more of a say than ability.

Having an idol puts a target on your back, yet he made it known and worked it tribal after tribal after tribal without ever playing it. That’s not luck - that’s solid gameplay.

I might be the only person here who loves Santos.

And I think her problems with Langdon stem more from how he treated her in the process rather than just what he did.

But then it's not like Langdon came back to universal praise. Robby treats him like shite and now Al-Hashimi knows and is on the hate wagon. We might not get resolution this season but it'll make for an interesting update on the next run.

Robby is going to be a patient after getting plowed on his motorcycle, and Langdon will do something miraculous to save him. Then all will be well.

No, but I did see this cool sight last year while road cruising for snakes up an Arizona mountain. I was driving the road up one side of the mountain, then came around a curve and was met with this…

SpaceX launch.

Posted by TigrrrDad on 3/28/26 at 7:54 am to RetiredSaintsLsuFan

Recently traded in my wife’s car - got a very good offer from CarMax. Dealer tried lowballing me by $4k initially but bumped it up very close to the CarMax offer, so the tax savings made the trade a better deal.

ETA: One of the other companies (can’t remember - maybe Carvana) gave a much lower offer than CarMax, so shop them all. Just takes minutes.

re: The Wire (HBO)- First time watching

Posted by TigrrrDad on 3/27/26 at 8:50 am to BamaSaint

On Season 5 of my 4th or 5th rewatch, but I’m struggling to get through it. Only season I didn’t care for. Splitting time with a Tudors rewatch to get through it.

In my memory, seasons 2-4 deviated too much from chasing the street criminals in shifting the story to the docks, politicians, and schools - but on rewatch that isn’t the case. They stuck to it pretty well throughout.

I really liked Charlie in his original season and thought he got screwed out of the win. But he either got great editing that season or bad editing this season because he came across as a paranoid, angry player.

^^^This.
Charlie was one of my favorites of this season’s cast, but he went overboard with the Rizo hate. Fitting that RizGod is the one who took him out. I respect that Rizo voted for who he thought was the best player over voting friendship/alliance.

Rizo is better than people give him credit for. He lasted 5 so long (AI says 9 tribals) without ever playing his idol when people knew he had an idol. He’s entertaining and gets a certain edit because of that. Colby thought he was annoying initially but changed his opinion pretty quickly once he got to know him.
