re: Pre-emergent in South Louisiana

Anyone know where I can buy the Lesco Dimension online… doesn’t look like Home Depot or Lowe’s has it in my area and didn’t have any luck looking on Amazon‘s app?
Best fast food burger is the Whataburger patty melt. I hit the one on Bert Kouns here in Shreveport about once every other month and it’s money every time. It’s a meal in and of itself. I don’t even get fries with it.

The Wendy’s double baconator is damn good as well..don’t need fries with it either.

The ONLY thing I’ve ordered from McDonald’s over the last 25 years is a double cheeseburger.

Fries from McDonald’s or Wendy’s are both very good when fresh.

Is Lesco Stonewall or Dimension better as a pre-emergent granule?

Just got back from a birthday dinner for my oldest daughter. Hated to post and run, but I figured there’d be some good responses fairly quick.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry for not having more details, but the text I had gotten from my aunt was pretty vague. She just stated my cousin was having trouble with their insurance company and didn’t have time to fight them.

Lawyer help in the Lafayette area…

Have a cousin that lives in Lafayette whose house caught on fire a couple of weeks ago and it had significant damage. Happened in the early morning hours and they got out quickly and were ok, but lost pretty much everything including one of their dogs.

Said they are already having all kinds of trouble with the insurance company. Anyone recommend the best avenue for them to take or a law firm they should contact in the area?
I used to swim at the public pool in Deridder circa ‘81-‘83 right off Hwy. 27 when my grandma would bring us to “town” from Singer when we’d stay with my grandparents for a week during the summer visiting them from BR.
45 years earlier…coulda been me.

Call me the old guy screaming at clouds. Never heard of Bert Kreischer til this series. Thought is was ok and the episodes were short and only 6 episodes for the series. Told my wife(no pics) the way the show moved along it reminded me of Bookie, which I really liked. Wish it didn't get cancelled after two seasons.

That was his absolute best time ever. He was more consistently running in the 10.4-10.5 range. He isn't training for track anymore and has put on some muscle mass and has had a couple of injuries since he's been here. He's got caught from behind too many times for me to believe he is still a homerun threat. Will break off some nice longer runs from time-to-time, but he's not going to be leaving DB's in his wake on 60+ yard runs IMO.

Serviceable, but needs to be our #3 rb. Was REALLY hoping we would get Lacy. Better players and better schemes with the o-line should definitely benefit our running back group this year.

Those 3 were/are "founding" members/posters on Tiger Roar around the fall of '97. The Twins aren't on Tiger Roar anymore, but Ragoo is still very active on that board. Have met the Twins a few times over the years and they are both great guys and diehard Tiger fans.

Desert Storm in Saudi/Kuwait....went over 50 days without stepping underneath a showerhead. Too damn cold there in January and February/early March to do a field shower with a canteen. Might wash my hair once or twice a week and used baby wipes for underarms, sack and bunghole.

Thought we had a nice tan going till we finally got that first shower and realized it was the just carbon from the MOPP gear. Also, went 60 plus days between phone calls to my fiancé and parents.

Also, went 45+ days without a hot meal. 3 MRE’s/day for the most part, down to 2 per day for close to a week leading up to the ground war that began on 2/24/90 waiting on the supply chains to catch up to us.

Our Heavy Machine Gun platoon along with TOW Platoon from Broussard were the lead element for our entire regiment. Our battalion of Reserves took the place of an active duty regiment based out of Lejeune that were out on a Mediterranean pack during the lead up to DS.

Good times and wouldn't change a damn thing about that experience. Made brothers for life and we still get together annually down in South Louisiana.

What restaurants serve them as a side?


Would you consider a cup of red beans as a side? Ate lunch at The Chimes in Lafayette a couple weeks ago and I got a bowl of RB&R as my main dish, while my daughter got a cup of RB&R to go along with some wings. You can also get a cup(small serving) of RB&R at Prejean’s or a bowl.

Both of those restaurants have some of the best bought RB&R I’ve ever eaten. Eat them damn near every time I go to either one of those restaurants.

Praying for you and your entire family. Pretty sure my FIL(Ronnie Wiggins) knew your dad…he graduated from WMHS in ‘66 and played a year at LSU before transferring to La.Tech.
Billy Truax(far left) and Buddy Hamic next to him…just a couple of guesses.
Update….daughter(no pics) just brought up a Keller’s traditional king cake…we’re already making a dent in it. Delicious
