Hungry Ogeron yes. Fat and happy Orgeron no.
Every single one. Loved high school. Went to small school with a close class. Actually don’t get to see my old friends often enough.

Bought a 2019 f250 king ranch with the 6.7 a year ago with 108,000 miles. Runs like a dream and looks about brand new inside and out for $45k. Sticker new was $92,000. Sorry to say that’s what you have look forward to and why I’ll never buy another new car. I ain’t poor but I would need a lot more in the bank to justify spending 150k plus on something worth half that in 5 years.

Thanks all for the insight. Will certainly consider all the good advice before moving forward.

I’ll have plenty of time. Also have a 22 year old son at lsu with friends who I can employ to move the broken concrete if necessary. If it’s only going to cost $1000 or less to hire out the job I may. In the meantime back to YouTube to compare the heavier vs lighter hammers.

I have a guy coming next week to give me an estimate. About 650 sf. If it’s only $650 that’d be tempting. About to retire and rather than join a health club…I’ve done this before but 30 years ago when I was 34. I’m an old boomer who hates to pay for something I can do myself I guess. I’m pretty handy and in good shape and like the challenge.

Probably not much difference in price. Also some future projects

Harbor Freight Jackhammers

Anyone have any experience with the 46 lb or 66 lb electric jackhammers? I have to remove 3”-4” concrete driveway. I’ve seen videos of the larger hammer and I’m sure it will do the job. But I’m an old dude and 20lb difference would be huge if the smaller one will work.
Don’t marry that one. Graduate stay single with a little money in your pocket for a few years.
I missed the DB’s pointing at each other after a receiver was left all by himself for a big play.
Just once I would like to see no none intervene and let action run its course. Curious how it would be decided it’s over.
Yamaha don’t fail me now!
I’ve only gotten speeding tickets. Never got out of one. Cops dang near writing as they walked to my car. I deserved every one of them.
Aint no hill for a stepper.

A brand new expensive car is a piss poor investment.
My dad at 94 could hardly put a sentence together while he was awake. But he talked in his sleep as clearly as when he was much younger. Heard him in his sleep tell his mother not to leave without him. Next day he was up early packed ready to go with his mom and dad.
My sons beat me by 10 points. I tell them the test was harder in 79.
46 years ago I walked on to the LSU campus. All 5-9”, 165lbs of me with a solid 22 on the ACT and a couple of patches on my letterman’s jacket. I was the sh’t. Less than a week later reality set in and I have been a much humbler and better human being since.
