I have a gator Trax I had built with a 37 gator tail. Fully customizable and I’m sure can find some used as well. I have a 17x54 with hunt deck. Love the boat.

I may take you up on that offer. It appears you are in hammond. I’m in ponchatoula. We just put the land under contract and will be moving forward soon.

Barndominium

Currently tossing around the idea of building one. Pros, cons? I’m thinking I can purchase the building itself and give an architect the measurements and have the inside designed how we want it? Anyone have any experience with the process? Thanks!
I had a 6x12 single axle for years with a 4 wheeler. No issues. Recently bought a SxS and I took up pretty much the whole trailer. No room for stands and other stuff we usually bring to the camp. I upgraded to a 7x16 with with removable front rails for side loading. I plan on getting my son a 4 wheeler in the next year or two. The tandem axle pulls so much better. Really noticeable. Ofcourse it is heavier. I only toe about 40 minutes from the house.
Bought the wife a gv80 4 months ago. She loves it. Looked at the X-5 and yku really get more with the Genesis at the same price. It’s definitely up there with luxury vehicles even though it’s a Hyundai. They had a 1.9% rate when we bought. Looked at a good bit of other brands and we wanted a 6 cylinder which narrowed down the choices. Ultimately it was decided on the interest rate. BMW, Lincoln, Acura, etc were around 5-7%

Any suggestions for a tripod for a 10 year old to shoot off of in a box stand? Thanks

I have a Hoshizaki which holds 35-40 lbs of ice. No complaints, it’s 6 years old and it’s located in the house. It was $1600 which I know is above your budget. More less just recommending the brand.
Dayummmmm I know I paid $1600 3 years ago for 35” ridge grapplers. Geez I’m not ready for that price!!

I got home from work and took it all apart. I just cleaned it about a month ago so it wasn’t dirty. I messed with the automatic float and pushed it up and down with my finger about 10 times. For whatever reason it’s been running just fine now for a couple hours. Hopefully no more issues!

It helps. It’s inside at our new house. It helps tremendously.

Yes I clean and descale it 2-3 times a year as well.

Hoshizaki ice machine

Came home yesterday to it draining way too much. Water is flowing as it should in the inside but the cooper tubing is warm, ice melting, and condensation all over on the inside. I unplugged it for 30 minutes and turned it on again. It ran fine at first, copper tubing was cold and it was chilly on the inside. 30 minutes later it was warm again. Haven’t had time to really mess with it yet. Any suggestions? And any repair recommendations in the hammond areas? Thanks

I started boycotting when they let began letting grown men dress as a princess at the parks. My kids won’t be seeing that! Left eating the left only helps the cause!
After owning quite a few F-150’s with the 5.5 foot bed I’m officially done. Every year for hunting season it really aggravates me. I’ve decided my next truck if it’s another F-150 it will have the 6.5 footer, even if I have to order it.

I have a rtic 20. It’s a few years old. The one thing I don’t like about mine is you cannot lay a water bottle down front to back. It’s just a bit too narrow to do so. Only option is to lay them down pointed to the sides of the ice chest, which then they overlap. Just wastes space. Aggravated me for some reason. My yeti 20 does t have this issue
Fishing in lafitte with 2 friends!! One of the wives called to tell us about it.
Over 850 according to Mazda finance a month ago. Didn’t even know that was possible.
Oh I agree to that. But man I’m not punching a clock even part time! We have a lot of traveling to do. I’m sure by the time I retire my kids will be buying a home I’ll be remodeling to some extent or building something. I just know I’ll always have a project or something to do.
What’s the point of retiring to get a part time job? Hopefully in 9-10 years when I retire I won’t need a part time job. If I needed a part time job I just as well stay where I’m at for pay and benefits
My FIL has a few. Two 70’s models and a 90’s model. He’s always rebuilding, updating, and just working on them all the time. It’s his hobbies. All 3 are fine cars. He just keeps making them even better.
