re: Helen Keller was a Fraud - Major Update Page 11
Posted by TFLEX on 4/1/26 at 4:52 pm to CoachOsFishingHole
Obviously a fraud.
Even more impressive she managed to hide from the Nazi's so long, and write a diary about the experience.
Amazing that she knew what the Nazi's were, why she had to hide, and about her families religion vs it just being a regular day with her disabilities.

My question is, why are we having this same conversation every year seems like with LSUs pitching staff? Will they ever find a group of pitchers that can consistently pound the strike zone?
I feel like every year we talk about how deep the pitching staff is only to realize we can only count on 2 or 3 relievers out of about 10 or 12 at most
Literally every college every year has this issue. They don't pound the zone. You pick apart the very edges as much as you can trying to get batters to chase bad stuff, and make weak contact.
Every kid on staff could "pound the zone" and SEC hitters would pound it right off the score boards.
If you throw above 85 in any level of HS and have at least one offspeed pitch you can absolutely throttle everybody you face in HS aiming down the middle and letting it rip.
These are 18-19 year olds coming in, and in most cases getting taught how to actually pitch vs throw for the first time. It takes a while to develope. But every year we get better towards end of the season- thats the proof that the LSU staff is doing their job.
Mainly spots. In college and the pros, if you put a fastball down the pipe it is going 350' plus the other direction.
These kids have to work the edges of the zone, which leaves small margin for misses.
Its just tough. Thats what separates elite guys, from guys with good stuff.

If I was making one- I would buy a cheap electric winch from harbor freight, and put a pulley on ceiling, build a cradle, and do that.
We did similar at our camp to pull a Jon boat and kayak up out of the water.

Does Hellmers have any eligibility left? Great kid, felt like he was just starting to developed his stuff before we stopped seeing him in the rotation.

I cook fish in that quantity semi regular in my same Dutch oven I use for jambalaya and gumbo.
Burner on low, about 1-1.5, gallons of oil, try and keep around 350.

Yeah I'd ask upholstery shops. If you were in LC area my mom would probably do it in her sewing hobby shop.
Good luck.

Probably my favorite shotgun ever made, and ive owned/shot more than most.
Man, I just can't ever get over it.
I shoot my A390(almost the same exact thing just synthetic stock) mainly. But man, that B80, it's just perfect. The stock, the way it swings, the action. I've never shot anything better.

Hey Kemo!
I know this time of year is always tough. Kids and me are off for spring break next week. How has big lake been? Worth bringing the Cajun special down and fishing?
May even try to slam sacalait in the calcasieu- but haven't honestly tried that in years and no idea where to go.

Yep. I do absolutely love my B80 and A390. Feels almost the same. Just a little more refined. No reason to ever shotgun shop again if you own any of those 3 guns.

Be a connoisseur- buy a real Browning A5 and upgrade the barrel. Let everybody know you're the man in the blind.
I tried here in CenTex Thursday and Friday. Crappie aren't up on banks yet, and no whites in creek. I figure next week it will set off.
You guys using a cork? Any tips?
I have always just used a crappie jig and basically "dipped" it near branches, trees etc. I'll occasionally use a slip cork for my kids with a minnow on it at 1-2' depth.
It looks like I see guys using a small weighted cork, and popping it back to them I guess. I may give it a try.

Hey, a day in big lake is better than work, unless the boat breaks down and you have to get towed in.
We may be down there next week. I got out a few times here in central TX but fishing is tough, whites aren't really up in the creeks yet, and crappie are also in transition.
Next week I think conditions are there for a beat down in the creeks. I love catching crappie in the shallow water.

Did most of my install yesterday.
I wrestled with how to make stencil like a moron for about an hour.
Then realized it is easier to lay out giant pieces of paper, and fold them along the edges and tape to themselves to get straight lines and sides instead of trying to use a straight edge and cut the paper.
Have one compartment lid I cut maybe 1/2" short. But other than that it looks really good.
My hull is all welded aluminum so I just scrubbed each spot with acetone really well before installing. Seems to have stuck really well. Have a few more pieces and the floor around console to do and I'll be done.
Total install time for an 18' aluminum side console will probably be 6-8ish hours. I would imagine somebody who has done it before would shave some off that.

I am not an expert.
But they all have different rules from what I've experienced. Some mandatory eye wear and hearing pro, some have loading and unloading rules, caliber rules, target check rules etc.
And I've been to 2 that are like T Noncs multi use gun range, chicken fighting ring, and bait shack where people are drinking beers and blowing stuff up with no rules.
That being said- just call ahead and ask and I'm sure they will help you out.

I had read a little bit about that.
How hot was it when you did it?
I was thinking if I do it in the next week or so when its 70* it would mitigate that vs doing it when its 97* and sunny in a few months.

This isn't a one size fits all app.
Best bet would be finding somebody that you can pay, rent, or borrow a brush hog to knock it down.
And then get a nicer riding mower to keep it down.
Alternative- sacrificial lamb- plenty of 42-60" tractor style riding mowers on FB market(because everybody has to have a ZTR to mow there 1/8 acre lot in a subdivision now.
Drop 600$ on a tractor style mower. Sharpen the blades. And use that for a few months until you get it all knocked down and under control. If it breaks you're not out much more than renting a brush hog.

Sunbrella, seal skin, and other custom covers are amazing.
Have one on my MB direct drive thats who knows how old at this point and still great.
On my fishing rig I bought a 200$ ish cover off Amazon 2 years ago. And it has been great.
