I dont really care if people know who I am on here, but to your point it is a bit of a risk these days, so I appreciate the advice.

Correct, you cant kill wildlife at Fort Pickens, thankfully. Well, besides fish.
Diamondback Rattlesnakes at Pensacola Beach (Fort Pickens)
Posted by Funky Tide 8 on 8/18/26 at 4:07 pm
The gal and I spent a few hours fishing and swimming at the beach on Sunday, gulf side of Fort Pickens close to the pass. On our way back to the car, I came up on a diamondback right by the trail, in the grass. It was docile, didn't rattle or coil up, and we observed it and took pics for a while before moving on.
We told a family that had just parked and exited their vehicle what we just saw, and to watch their steps. They didn't go on that little trail though, but instead went up into this little battery that was built into a small hill that is by the parking area beside the trail to the beach
While we were packing up the car, I noticed the dad pointing at something and telling his kids to come see, so we walked back up there. There was another diamondback on the side of the little hill. This one was bigger and looked like it had just eaten a nice meal. It was also docile, and didn't rattle at us.
We are always looking for them out there, but it seems like we see the coolest stuff when we aren't looking. Pretty neat experience.

re: Who was/is feared most? Kirby going to Georgia or Lane going to LSU.

Not really comparable considering that was Kirby's first head coaching gig, and this Lane's 5th stop as a head coach.

I enjoyed the first season well enough, but the last episode or two kind of went off the rails. Maybe season 2 will be fine. I was a little grumpy this morning when I made that post, sorry for being a debbie downer. :lol:

re: It bugs me that the media doesn't talk more about the Michigan-Harbaugh-Stallions scandal.

Followed by the shite show that was the Sherrone Moore scandal. If you take away the championship that they cheated in order to win, then their program has been a pretty big shite show.

These social media folks are the dregs of humanity, creating bogus, inflammatory content just to make money off clicks and views, profiting off of what is very likely a tragic, accidental death of a young man, and his grieving friends. No shame. Special place in hell for them.

I wonder what it'd be like to live a day in the life of that thing? Ive got a feeling it'd be pretty neat. May it reside in strawberry fields, forever, and never get eaten by a blackbird. Its friends would have to carry that weight of its loss.
I want to hold its hand, and the two of us could become friends, but I'd probably just let it be.

Let's be honest-offense and QB are a pretty big question mark. Plenty of talent on that side of the ball, but after last season's run game fiasco, and breaking a brand new QB, its not an unreasonable preseason ranking.

Just his work ethic in general is fkn crazy. Always has been. He's 64 and retired but he still works his arse off doing whatever projects he can, building things, helping other people with stuff, etc. His body has taken a beating over the years, he's had knee replacement surgery, rotator cuff repair surgery, and intestinal hernia surgery all in the last 5 or 6 years, and he still can outwork most people, while crushing natty lights.
He can build damn near anything, using mostly whatever he has on hand. He built a slide for my nieces a couple of weeks ago that goes from their house on a hill that goes down to Lake Martin. Built with wood and plastic signs from his Bonnie plant farm days, engineered simply from his mind.

Yep, that was it. I remember it being right at the beginning of May but couldn't remember the year. I remember booking a hotel nearby, and when we got there, the only room available was a handicapped room where it was a roll in shower and a big floor drain in the middle of the floor instead of the traditional tub/shower.
It was a rowdy scene. I think someone threw an empty whiskey bottle at Schools and he got real pissed. I recall there being a bunch of folding chairs placed on the floor, and the back third of the floor was empty. I remember looking back and seeing a chick giving a dude head in one of the chairs in the empty space :lol: it was dark so I didn't see anything too graphic, but yeah, the whole thing was a lot for my young mind to process.

If have the ability, listen to some 2026 shows, specifically the recent run out west. Nick Johnson gets it. He is true to the tone and signature licks of classic Houser era. Best they’ve sounded in decades.
I agree. They sound great, and Nick seems like a perfect fit. Love his chops.

2 years ago my wife got us tickets to some music festival in Huntsville watching bands that were popular 20 years ago and it rained like hell. Like rained so much it ruined the field and they had to cancel day 2.
So I’m sitting in the rain, CAKED in mud, listening to fricking Shinedown and TLC with my phone turned off so no one could text me about the game.
Then I get back to the hotel and wash all the mud off me and start watching the game at midnight. It’s 2am and Georgia scores to go up and R Williams catches that crazy arse spinning dirty bird touchdown and I can’t scream or anything.
We went up to Huntsville that weekend as well, but we were only going to go on Sunday, so we got to watch the game. Then the fest got cancelled for Sunday, which I wasn't too bummed about tbh.
