re: Recommend a Grand Isle Contractor

Billy Ramagusa He is not cheap and has the standard delays of GI, but the guy can build/fix just about anything. If he cannot, he knows and is friends with someone who can. Once you get to know him, he is awesome. He will watch over your stuff and be available at anytime....
I am open to any suggestions without hijacking the thread. We have already placed a pump at one the low points to move the water out. It is more of a problem for our whole road. South wind, high tide and rain make for a bad combination on the bayside of grand isle....
I rebuilt post Katrina in Grand Isle. These are approximate numbers from memory. Custom design mobile home (single wide) - $45K Raise it 12 feet, 10 x 80 deck on side, stairs, plumbing, electrical - $40K Cement under whole thing - $8K New metal roof on camp and covered decking - $15K Bunk ro...

I am covering ICU's right now and not in clinic. Your PCP should be able to handle this. If not, I can get you in next week. I do not post or lurk often, just had some down time on call to check the OT this morning and came back to see if things were being handled. I will check back tomorrow in ...

Did the inhaler help your cough on the previous occasion? Is your cough worst at night? Did you have asthma or eczema as a child? Do any of your children have asthma or eczema? Did anyone in the house have a recent viral upper respiratory syndrome? How old are you? The most common thing I se...
Trying to simplify a very complex deal here. LSU took over the old charity system years ago. The hospitals were losing tons of money. Then the state decides to privatize the LSU/Charity system in hopes of losing less money. Two big privatization players were OLOL in BR and Children's in NOLA...

Bought the compact 308 for my daughters. They have no problem with it. Ages 16, 14 and 11....
Did it with the kids 2 years ago. Pontoon boat and live bait only on our trip. Plenty of bass, but not worth the money and not much sport in it. I suspect you could arrange a better trip than we had. I am more interested in fishing the peacock bass in the canal around the airports....

re: Doctors of the OB, I have a question

First, prayers to you and your family. Squamous cell can originate in or spread to the "bronchial tubes". The proximity in the bronchial tubes and the lymph node stage determine whether he is an operative candidate, a neoadjuvant chemo candidate (i.e. give chemo to shrink and then resect) or a c...

Do not stop the prednisone too early (prior to 14 days or so) or it can bite you in the arse later....
I would buy or build an oil rig near the green canyon. I would have a means of driving my boats to store under the rig with lifts. There would be a 36 center console and an express. I would have the ability to dive my rig and get back on easily. I would fly my chopper out there for the weekend a...

Fished Elmer's sunday morning, only a few here and there. Stopped by the rocks in front of the water towers on the way in. Caught some nice specks on the gulf side of the rocks with croakers on a carolina rig. Blue fish ruled the beach side of the rocks....

Just looked at Hilton's. Using the chlorophyll (the true color images are poor): From cocodrie it looks like SS 300 to SS 283. From Fourchon, it is 7 miles south of the circle rigs and then heads north as you move east. The images from the east have some cloud cover, so I cannot tell. Of ...
Remember to put the patch on the night before and DO NOT let her rub her eyes! Bonine will work, but also take the night before for best effect. Ginger is not a bad addition. For the oh shite moment, phenergan or zofran work. Phenergan can be compounded as a topical if pucking is an issue.....

I have a buddy who is selling one if interested. No problems with it, he just has access to a huge cat now. My first boat that I bought was the 16. We abused that thing in med school and never had an issue. I have never been out on the 31....

re: Anybody have a Grand Isle report

Posted by ccdrlsu on 1/19/12 at 3:35 pm
I have done better off the side of the road on specks than heading up to places like palmetto bayou in past few weeks. Went to the close rigs this weekend to catch some white trout on the bottom and a couple of mangroves. Had to go through a lot of hardheads to get to the white trout....
What is your current sounder and what have you bought? Unlikely that the new lowrance will have two cables from a transom mount transducer. Their units are usually one cable with multiple wires and a link that fits a bus in the center console, then a cable to your screen. Make sure if it is a new...
