Looks like the bear was wanting to play with the dog.

Or maybe I'm stupid. lol
On my F150 with 2.7L ecoboost I change the oil every 5K miles. I do this cause a 25+ year ford mechanic told me NOT to listen to the owner's manual. Said that turbo motors are harder on everything. Oil, spark plugs, etc.

On my old 4Runner with the 4.0L i do a complete oil change every 10K miles.
With an oil filter change and top off oil every 5K miles.
A number of years ago -

Barbe vs Sam Houston for the 5A State Baseball Championship.

There was some damn good baseball played that evening.

The crowd was "ELECTRIC" , to say the least.

Definitely in the top 5 Baseball games I've watched in person. At all levels. And I've watched a bunch.

Ask them for a couple packs of honey to put on that biscuit.

You can thank me later!

And their Fried Chicken is mediocre at best.

H&M marine in Crowley used to have the least expensive “loose” Yamaha outboards in the southern states. Not sure if Tommy Harrelson is still operating down there…


He passed from injuries sustained from an auto accident about 2.5 years ago.

It's still H&M Marine but with new owners. The prices are still very competitive and they are willing to match or beat anyones price.

At least that was my experience a couple of years ago.

If you are coming from Louisiana you may want to consider RedBird BBQ in Port Neches, Tx.

The brisket is outstanding. But the star of the show was the pork ribs. Absolutely the best piece of food i have ever put in my mouth. I didn't know you can get ribs to be THAT good. Just incredible! I realized right then and there that my ribs are shite. lol And so is almost everybody else's.

Last year they were ranked #4 in Texas BBQ.

I believe the owner used to work at one of the popular BBQ joints in the Dallas area.

Cover both ears with the palm of your hands tightly. With your fingers now at the back/base of your skull start tapping kinda hard. Like playing the drums. At the base of your skull. Do this for about 1 minute.

This is a TEMPORARY fix. And when I say TEMPORARY I mean about 10-15 minutes max.

But its better than nothing.
Tony Gwynn.

Tony Gwynn faced Tom Glavine, John Smoltz, Greg Maddux and Pedro Martinez over 330+ times. He only struck out 3 times!

Also, While most "big time" hitters strike out 20-25% of the time, Gwynn is sitting right at an incredible 4.5% .

These are probably the best stat lines in all of sports.

Greg Maddux famously said, "If a pitcher can change speeds, every hitter is helpless, limited by human vision. Except for that f**king Tony Gwynn."
Last year Ford sent me a letter telling me that there was an important software update for my truck- for free. And that I need to make an appointment with a dealership. I called the dealership and they offered mobile service for the update. I took it. A week later a guy shows up in a van and does the update in about 20 minutes. Beats the hell out of waiting at the dealership for 3 hours to do a 20 minute job. The best part was that it didn't cost me a dime.

If you go then get the crawfish cornbread. The seafood is good but average. The atmosphere is great. But the crawfish cornbread was over the top. It's sold as an appetizer. I believe it is topped with some kind of bourbon sauce.. I enjoyed the hell out of that!

I wouldn't make a special trip though.
When I was about 16 y/o or so a friend and I had the job of going into the nursing home and removing the A/C units out the wall in every room and taking them to the car wash for cleaning. We would do two at a time. Those poor people thought we were stealing their A/C units and they would never get them back. lol

I learned a lot that summer. And none of it was positive.

Yea,

The way I look at it is if you bought a new vehicle in the last 10 years then its in your best interest to have a decent scan tool. Hell, probably the last 15 years.

I've learned so much. And still learning.

Xtool A30M if you want to know whats really going on in your engine and not just clear codes. Includes live data and record. Free updates. About $150 on amazon.

So far Ive found a leaking fuel injector causing a bad catalytic converter code. but catalytic converter really wasn't bad.(Truck still under warranty) Found a some type of bad sensor that i changed myself cause i didn't feel like dealing with the dealership(still under warranty). And just recently learned that both my upstream o2 sensors are about to shite the bed.

I somewhat regret not spending a little more and getting a better scanner.

Its amazing to see everything going on in your engine.
If you make it to the championship series then you are definitely at a disadvantage in the portal. You simply have all your time, focus, and energy on winning a championship. By the time you can comb through the portal all the really good players are gone. You are essentially scraping the bottom of the barrel, so to speak. Thats how you end up with guys like Yorke. You end up grabbing the first guys available instead of the guys that "fit" your team.

This year's LSU team is a classic example of all this.

Is it this cooler/dry box? LINK if so, yeah that one sucks for holding ice. I have a little lifetime 20 qt thats about the same price and holds ice for 4 to 5 days.


I have that one. And yea, it sucks. I'm tempted to drill some holes in it and fill it with foam. Like they should have done at the factory.
Not Guilty.

If it ain't yours don't f*ck with it.

My son broke his hamate bone in High School. If I remember right he had his surgery on 4/19. At 7 weeks post-surgery he was at 80 - 85% and was back playing ball again in summer league. Its more of a pain tolerance thing for most players. I've read some players are back at 4-5 weeks. My son's recovery followed the exact same timeline as Warren Morris'. I know cause I had emailed Warren Morris asking about his recovery and he responded giving me the details. Which I was highly appreciative of.
About 3 weeks ago, as I was about to leave WallyWorld, I watched an older gentlemen (70ish) diving a fairly brand new Chevy Silverado slam into a parking lot stop sign. The ones that are reinforced with concrete at the bottom half. Ol' boy throws in reverse and goes park. Gets out and looks at the damage for about 1 second. Then walks into store. Like it was no big deal. He thoroughly screwed up his front bumper and grille. At the minimum. There were no other moving vehicles or pedestrians in that area at the time. I thought to myself, how the hell does this happen? Are you drunk at 9:00am?Texting? What the hell?
