For the weeds, Lake master pros will be delivering in Lafayette September 9th. They have triploid grass carp, but you’ll need to get a possession permit from LDWF.

First lite balaclavas changed my life. The lightweight merino one works for me anywhere between a little chilly to freezing cold calm days. The heavy duty one works great for boat rides or cold windy days.
I can’t stand the sight of the algae blooms, but I’ve never messed with it. I haven’t had any problems with the bass or bream.

I wish somebody nearby had some grass carp to sell me.

I read about one guy who said he had a weld fail. Silencerco promptly replaced it. I wouldn’t be afraid to buy one… it will likely be the next one I buy.

Lake Fausse point state park. Bring some mosquito spray.

ETA: Chicot state park also has what you’re looking for.

A Louisiana Shooting Association membership will qualify you for purchase.

Edit: Actually, what I meant to say was it’s a long and arduous process. Ya’ll don’t worry about wasting your time applying :lol:

This isn’t available to everyone.
When I took my first job after college, my dad told me to put 20% in my 401K. I said ok and I’ve basically done that for my whole career. It didn’t occur to me how significant that decision was until a few years ago.

I had to look outside 401k for investments because I’m capped at 6%.


Wait, they only allow you to put 6% or are you trying to tell us you make over $400K?

I tend to judge people who say “where’s it at” or “where you at”.I cringe every time I hear someone say it but it’s become almost normal now with almost everyone adding the extra “at” to the end of a sentence. Even supposedly highly educated people.


One of my English teachers was on a tour while traveling somewhere up north. She was making conversation with another group on the tour and asked a lady where she was from. The lady replied “We’re from a place where we don’t end our sentences in prepositions.” To which she replied, “I’m sorry, where are ya’ll from, BITCH?”

My wife went from a v6 explorer to a turbo 4 cyl and I couldn’t tell the difference in power. It also has over 40% more towing capacity than the v6 did.

Heart shot my first buck with one. Small exit with no blood trail to follow, but he didn’t go far. I might not have found him if I didn’t have water splashes to follow.

I never had a problem with the HE loads, but they had a good bit of pop in the Ruger no. 1.

And I would need an ASR device for both my 35 Whelen and my 300 WBY?


Yes, if you want to swap them quickly. Alternatively, if you buy a Charlie direct thread mount, you could use that and wouldn’t have to worry about the ASR mount.

I basically put ASR devices on my ARs since they look funny without a flash hider or brake, and I direct thread on my rifles.

The Charlie direct thread mount replaces the Charlie ASR mount on the omega. It can be taken off and installed using the supplied spanner wrench.

I believe there are some instructions online, but I installed my ASR devices with rocksett. I think it should be torqued to 20-30 ft-lbs, and if it’s a brake, it should have shims so you can time it properly.

Installing the suppressor after that is done by hand and then the lock ring can be secured.
Did it come with an ASR muzzle device?

I don’t remember if mine did, but I ended up buying a Charlie direct thread mount to mount mine.

I’d be interested to see how well they work for that price. Definitely seems too good to be true.

FWIW this is what I replaced mine with a couple years ago… https://www.homedepot.com/p/GE-Garage-Ready-17-3-cu-ft-Frost-Free-Defrost-Upright-Freezer-in-White-FUF17QRRWW/317602480
