Main thing I would like to know, and not sure if it can be answered, is how crazy will traffic be everywhere during the World Cup? I don’t want to spend half our vacation stuck in traffic
Yep checked that one out first. Checked the rates for last week and they were a few hundred dollars and then checked the dates we wanted to go and they were well over $1k. Closer to $2k if I remember correctly
Just realized it’s during the final games of World Cup. Guess we won’t be doing that this year
Looking to take kids to a rangers game this July and getting overwhelmed with the amount of hotel choices. Kids are 9 and 7 so definitely want one with a pool. Found some really great places but their weekend rates are over $1k

Seeing if anybody got some good recs in the $400-500 range per night. Could even do separate places if it’s easier to do one night in Arlington. Any help is appreciated. Dates are July 9-12th

Happened to me to the other day. Decided to go to the furthest part of the woods as well on this particular day. Put the first stick on the tree and reached for my lineman's belt which was no where to be found.

I’d accept. By the time you get the pieces to be a contender again Kyren will be worn down

Electric Fence for Dog

Posted by bleedpurplengold on 9/23/25 at 1:18 pm
We have an enclosed back yard where our dog can stay while we are at work, but when it rains she panics and digs a hole under the fence and escapes (also chews up the bottom of my fence boards).

I've tried multiple different things, but none have worked. Want to install an electric fence with a collar on the dog, non gps as I have heard that sometimes they get off alignment. I don't want to have to dig up my backyard and want to just connect the wire to my fence directly.

The issue I am running into is the way my backyard is designed and how the fences I have seen operate. From my understanding you have to connect each end of the wire to a hub that plugs into an outlet. I won't be able to do this since I just want to go from one corner of my back yard to the other. Picture my lot as a square and I need to run the fence from midway point on one side around to the midway point on the other side.

Are there any options out there for this type of system?

They were definitely teal

Any reason for a game warden to take a couple of ducks from a hunter other than being over the limit? We were doing work at our deer lease and at the end of the road the warden was checking the teal. Ole boy walked to the back of the boat with a mess of teal (couldn’t get an exact count) and the warden had two in his hand and put em in his front seat. We pulled up at the end of the exchange so the ticket could have been already issued. Believe it was 4 hunters in total and young guys
80 this morning in pointe coupee
It wasn’t much better in the boat either. Believe we went 12, 15 and 6 Wednesday through Friday. Didn’t even fish Saturday.

Had some guys next to us surf fishing while we crabbed. He was reeling in 10” white trout one after another

Didn’t speak to anybody that caught inshore
and I can just pull up to Southern Wire and they have some for sale or do I have to order ahead of time?

Purchasing Good Crab Trap

Posted by bleedpurplengold on 6/16/25 at 1:57 pm
The other weekend at Grand Isle my crab trap disappeared the second night I left it out. Either tide took it (don't believe as I had it anchored with a long piece of rebar hammered into the sand) or someone "thought" it was theirs.

In need of a good, sturdy trap. Is there any where on the way to grand isle that I can stop and pick a couple up? The one I had was fine, but it would collapse a little under pressure. Link to the trap I had and just looking for one a little more durable.

8 yesterday and 10 today. Went all over. Prolly caught 100 12” trout
Out here now. Bait jumping everywhere and birds diving, but only one bite so far. It’s early, think they will turn on in a few. Water is clear
Not fishing Sunday. Just Thursday - Saturday

Grand Isle Fishing Report

Posted by bleedpurplengold on 6/4/25 at 12:34 pm
Heading down to the island this weekend and weather looks almost too good to be true. Been hearing a lot of people been catching on croakers, but not much talk about shrimp. Bringing the boat and plan to fish out of it in the morning and surf fish in the evenings while the kids play on the beach. Any feedback would be appreciated
This is our first ski vacation so never been to a big or small town. Thanks for the advice and I’ll be sure to check it all out. Guess we will also have to make the trek to Red River one day we are not skiing


Also see that AF is supposed to be getting a few inches of snow today and tomorrow, but nothing next 14 days with highs in the fifties. Hopefully there’s some left
