I picked up some last year for livestock and they didn't touch it. I would like to know what to get and put out.

re: Hip replacement

My FIL just had one hip replaced. Took him about 8 weeks to lose the limp and he didn't have hip pain, it was incision and muscle pain after the initial week. He's good and gets around fine now with no walker, but he did have one for a while.

I am a fan of Kartchner's boudin. You can't go wrong with any of them in the area.

Shooting a drone down is a violation of federal law. Unfortunately there is no tresspassing in the air above your land. I think they should revisit this now that there are drones everywhere, but wth do I know.

It wasn't uhaul, I went to North shore trailer and rented a 20' car hauler. I called ahead for the time I wanted it, booked it and went in to grab. Very easy

I rented one from north shore trailer to go pick up a land cruiser in Sarasota. Pretty painless, the mechanic gave me an extra spare, a bearing and they put an air tag on it and turned me loose.
I have a 2014 Yamaha Viking. It's the loudest mofo there is probably, metal bed over the motor and who knows what else. It does everything I want to do, just freaking loudly in the cab. That is definetely not like a golf cart.

I've had a 700 for years it's great, like an outdoor oven where you can set a temp and add a smoke or grill flavor to anything vs an oven indoors. I bought oversize and may wind up buying a bullseye so i can get really high temps. The 700 will get to 500, but it takes time, most of my cooking is at 400 unless I am doing ribs or pork butts.
Covington Trace Hospital on 59 and 10. They do walk ins, cash price is 500 bucks for no contrast MRI.

On a well by chance? I had this issue, I bet if you turn on your shower and turn on the hot in a sink it will stay hot. We had to up our pressure to increase the flow in one specific bathroom.

When I received it, my FFL said if I had a pistol permit I did not have to have wait for the background check. My question is since when? Ive bought many with and without a pistol permit and this was never presented as an option.


It's been a long while, my buddy is a cop and we went to buy guns one day. He had to wait for the background check and mine was no wait, he isn't happy about it at all. They all qualify annually and so many ccp holders just get it and never shoot.
My mom is on Jardiance. She's sensitive to all kinds of meds and this doens't bother her, she had to try several to find one that didn't bug her.
They all need could need to be replaced depending on use and build. Best buddy worked for yellowfin for 20 years, he now works in a shop and fuel tank replacements are a lot of the work they get. So much so I had no idea. Sometimes they don't foam right around the tanks, corrosion, water issues, it really happens a lot. He lives in S FL, so boats might get more use or beating from the gulf compared to other locations.

17 f150 5.0 here with 165k. I've had some repairs, nothing major, biggest is the current one of the ac evaporator leaking. I'm getting it charged and fixing in the spring so I can make sure it works. Pretty solid vehicle for me, I've commuted in it, I tow with it, and road tripped.
Yep. It was under warranty and they paid for a locksmith to come out and drill it, fix the issue, and reset my combo. I am glad it didn't happen the day before a hunting trip.

I used regular small food savers for a while and recently bought a chamber sealer. It was too much, it's too big, but it works great. I would have been fine with a regular sealer replacement.

Southern Alabama:

a. Site preparation $98 an acre

b. Planting containerized loblolly at 538 trees per acre (tpa) would be $148.00/acre.

c. Planting containerized longleaf at 600 tpa would be $216.00/acre

Just take allopurinol and be done with it before you do more damage to your body. Hereditary for me, one bout was all it took after watching my dad suffer.

I have a Tonal, and if it broke tomorrow I would get another one. I never had much gym expierience so having the demonstrations was great for me, I also really like the stats they keep. It keeps a strength score for your lower, mid, upper, and overall body and I really like seeing the progression. As far as space goes, it really is just hang on a wall where you have room to move the arms out, doesn't take much at all.

We use ecobee and I like them a lot, my inlaws all use nest and I don't like them. I bought sensors for rooms to tell if they're occupied and set schedules based on our schedules. Pretty easy to work with and no real learning curve.

Mephis Saturday Lunch

Posted by way_south on 6/25/25 at 12:03 pm
I am driving to St. Louis Saturday and can time lunch in Mephis or the surrounding area. My son ,likes BBQ and we have been to Rendevous a few times, but he says the ribs are too dry, so I am looking for a new spot to try. Nothing too out of the way from 55 North or the other hwy that runs through by Bass Pro since i am skipping the old bridge on 55. Any ideas appreciated.

I can work lunch anytime after Southhaven to West Memphis, no super sketchy areas though please.

My '97 needs paint. It was painted white by previous owner using MAACO I think. Original color was hunter green. I'd like to strip the white and restore to original, but with the costs emntioned in this thread, and what I have found on my own, I am leaning heavily towards a wrap.


Have you quoted a wrap yet? I had considered it, but haven't been able to get out and actually get any quotes of local shops.

re: Body/Full Paint Job

Posted by way_south on 6/16/25 at 12:11 pm to
I checked in my area to get a 92 land cruiser painted, i had a guy tell me he wouldn't touch it for less than 12k. I'd really like to paint it, but not for more than the value of the whole car. Paint and supplies are through the roof now just like everything else.

Have you considered a google box? NVIDIA Shield was the goto for a long time and now Walmart has come out called ONN streaming devices. When my Sheilds die, I will replace with those, a buddy has started with them and he likes the remote better, has no complaints about anything when comparing to the Shield.

Man when it comes to used ATVs and UTVs I’m always nervous the previous owner flooded it.


I picked up a used 2014 Viking from a guy, his wife made him sell it becuase it didn't have back seats for the kids. He owned it for a month, the previous owner was an old man who used it to drive around his property. It had 100 hours on it and has been great for me, I can't tell you how many I passed on before this one showed up on my radar.
