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?

re: Richards sausage quality?

Don't know where you live. But if you live in south Louisiana and buy Richard's or Savoie's sausage then you ain't right in the head. Soooo many better options than that trash.

If you don't live in the area then you can get in touch with one of the many, many places that produce quality sausage and some will ship to you.

I believe Teet's in Ville Platte ships out.

re: Outboard Prop Re-Pitching

This is correct. An aluminum prop will "flex" under load. And give you more RPMs than a same size and pitch SS prop.

This morning, with the Aluminum prop, I reached 6400 RPMs. Yamaha recommendation for the F70 is 6300 RPMs. So, with a SS prop pitched at 14 I should be perfect.

Now this is the type of info I'm looking for !

Thanks for the reply

Couple years ago I bought a brand new Yamaha F70. The dealer initially put a 13 pitch SS prop on it. The RPMs were too high for that outboard - per the manufacturer's recommendations. I went back to dealer to get a 14 pitch prop but the prop manufacturer that he carries does not make a 14 pitch prop. So the dealer gives me a SS 15 pitch prop instead. Acceptable, but could be better. The hole shot took a noticeable hit, as well as the acceleration.

Fast forward to last weekend. and I hit some concrete. Didn't hit hard but enough to bend the 15 pitch prop. So, I take the now bent 15 pitch prop to a reputable prop guy. He tells me he can absolutely fix the bent prop to look brand new again. (for $150 + tax). We were talking numbers that i get out of the prop. So, I tell him that I thought a 14 pitch would be the best pitch for that boat and motor combination. He tells me that he can "re-pitch" that prop also. I didn't know that was possible. but it is. Told him I'll get back with him on the re-pitching part.

Since I got a 2 week wait for the bent prop fix I ordered an el cheapo aluminum 14 pitch prop off of Amazon. I take the aluminum prop for a ride this morning. I was correct on the 14 pitch prop being the best pitch for that boat/motor combination. Noticeably better hole shot and acceleration. Just better all around. It would be perfect if it were stainless steel.

So now I figure since my SS prop is being worked on I may as well get it re-pitched also and get the best performance out of everything. For a price, of course.

Just wondering if anyone has had a prop re-pitched and if there were any regrets afterward.

Outboard Prop Re-Pitching

Anyone have experience having a prop re-pitched? (as in going from 15 pitch to 14 pitch)

If so, what was your experience? Negatives? Positives?

Thanks
I had that Heather Thomas poster hanging in my bedroom as a teenager. :pimp:
Lew's Superduty reel matched with St. Croix Black Bass rod is my favorite setup.
I guarantee that you can get more than that. A lot more!
Guy driving the truck is the Uncle, or close relative, of a guy I worked with at the time.

Story was that the truck driver always pumps fuel at this particular gas station and he wasn't going to let "protestors" stop him that day. lol
My son just bought a 2026 RAM 1500 BigHorn with the 5.7L HEMI.
He absolutely loves his truck. Very good ride for a truck. Seems well built. The RAM Boxes in the bed are the shite. Very nice!

I personally would not have bought that truck only because of eTorque. But that was his decision.

re: Frigidaire fridges

I have a Frigidaire fridge thats at least 15 y/o. I have never had a problem with it.

I also have a Frigidaire oven/range/stove thats about 5 y/o and no problems with it either.

(Knocks on wood)
If the Radiology report DOES NOT specifically say "cholelithiasis" (gallstones) and only mentions "large mass" then your sister would be in need of a CT Abdomen with IV contrast (at the minimum). Her GP should consult with the Radiologist and see if oral contrast is recommended as well. And you may as well do the pelvis while you're at it.

The wording on Radiology reports means A LOT !

Good luck.

re: Ford F150 - 2.7L vs 3.5L

Posted by moe1967 on 4/8/26 at 2:52 pm to
I have the 2.7L in my 2018 F150. I call it the "Little engine that could".
That thing makes a great daily driver. It is plenty quick enough to merge with traffic. And it easily pulls my boat. (17ft aluminum boat thats heavier than it looks because of all the fishing shite I have in it.) I was actually getting the advertised 26mpg/hwy before I put a small lift and upgraded the tire size and all-terrain tires. Then the mpg fell to about 24mpg. Then I got a letter from Ford telling me that there is a software update available. Ol' baw came to the house to do the update. Since then my mpg was bumped to about 25mpg/hwy and it smoothed out the shifting of the transmission (3rd - 4th-5th gears). I drive country roads to and from work going 50-55mph.

If you are not pulling anything too heavy the 2.7L makes for a great motor. Easily pulls small to medium loads. Plenty quick enough. Solid little motor. Ford did good with that motor.

Recommend!

This ^^^^

This would be your best defensive and most productive offensive lineup.

You could also rotate Braun(L) and Bide(R) as DH depending on pitching matchups.

re: Who are your role models?

Posted by moe1967 on 4/4/26 at 9:27 pm to
1) My Dad. One of about 3 "real" men I've ever known. And I'm not the only one that would tell you that. Definitely cut from a different cloth.

2) My first High School football coach. After helping him get into his locked car to get his keys he told 3 of us youngsters some life advice.
He says: "One of the most important things in life is time. Its always moving forward and it stops for no one."

Now that I am older i can't tell you how true that is!
