I had "Custom Exhaust & Brake" on Prien Lake Road install an exhaust for me a couple years ago. They were fast, inexpensive, and I haven't had any issues yet.
Astragalus Root
Boron
Milk Thistle
Citrus Bergamot
Nattokinase

They will ship to you. My uncle in Missouri makes one or two large meat orders a year and they ship it to him packaged in dry ice or whatever.
Well I havent lived there since 2018, but here it goes:

Petes
Fat Pats
Hub City Diner
Broaddus
JB Snubs
Ground Patti
Legends

So theres 7 Id rather have, just off of the top of my head...

Burger - Judice Inn

There are probably ten better burgers in Lafayette than Judice Inn.

Uncle T's is good. Fezzos is pretty good, and consistent. Pizza Village (get the Landry Special).

Damn, how'd you give them colon cancer?!?

That's fricking savage revenge, right there.
Two weeks post opp. They opened my brace up more today Open to 20 degrees extended and completely open on the flex side. Meaning I can flex my elbow completely and extend it almost completely to 20 degrees from completely straight. Did a little bit of theraband work today, and I ordered some bands for the house that should be in Thursday. Slowly moving forward. Four more weeks wearing the brace.

Biggest challenges so far in every day life:

Flossing my teeth with only my left hand.
reaching my wallet in my right back pocket with my left hand.
Stirring a pot and washing a pot with only my left hand.

Haven't tried folding clothes yet; they are all laid out all over my love seat.
First weekend in February, I tore the inside tendon from the bone in my right (dominate) elbow. I had the surgery to repair it last Tuesday. I would have had the surgery sooner, but I postponed it at the last minute due to a family emergency that I had to deal with which was more important.

The first four weeks after the injury I was still going to the gym and doing cardio (stairs, elliptical, bike, etc.) until I had my surgery. I am now cleared to start going back to the gym to continue doing cardio, but obviously no lifting.

Six weeks since the injury, and my right arm is already visibly smaller than my left. Its so frustrating. It'll probably be at least another six weeks before I'm cleared to do any light lifting.

I was basically at my strongest I've been leading up to this injury, and getting pretty lean (13%BF on last InBody scan) so those of you who lift can probably understand my frustration...

Not really looking for advice here, just maybe some words of encouragement :lol:

That SBS looks awesome! The AR does as well, but the SBS is kinda making me want to add to my SD shotgun collection, which currently only includes a 20ga Mossberg 590 shockwave pistol grip. Aside from duck hunting, its the most fun I've had shooting a shotgun :lol:
I came into this thread hoping for people posting pics of their DIY painted rifles and shotguns. I was disappointed. I love seeing the sometimes badass paintjobs some people are capable of. I even enjoy some of the more basic paintjobs as well.

Yall drop some damn pics!

:lol: We walk down every single project with operations, the client PM, and safety prior to even getting our scan crews out there. And its highly unlikely yall make more than our P.Es do.

I'm not an engineer. But I've been working in the engineering field for almost 20 years. Commercial and industrial. There's a reason the plants call us to to have our P.E. run calcs for suggestions that their on staff engineer, who isn't a P.E. comes up with. Because their on staff engineer isn't qualified to do so. Same reason our employees with engineering degrees have their work checked by our P.E.s.

Factually incorrect, and I have a PE


Do explain. If you cannot stamp a set of construction drawings, you are not an engineer.

Well I am not a real engineer then. Got a degree in mechanical engineering from LSU, but never went down the PE path.


Correct. Just like having an accounting degree doesn't make you a CPA, a law degree doesn't make you a lawyer, etc...

Do you hold an engineering degree


I love when people who have an engineering degree call themselves engineers. Unless you are a P.E., you aren't an engineer.

Thank you for the compliment.
1. I'm younger than you.
2. I never mentioned the dog, or how I felt about whether it lived or died.
3. Using the phase "go touch grass" as a 43 year old man is very douche bag of you, and would also indicate that you are, in fact, a pussy yourself.

go touch grass


You certainly are unlikable. But obviously very tough :rolleyes:

You must have missed the part where I said the only equipment that I have are dumbbells and a curl bar with free weights.


Rear Delt Flies
Shoulder Press
Lunges
Farmers Walk
Straight Leg Deadlifts
Squats
Bent Over Rows

These can all be done with only dumbbells.

Get an adjustable fold up bench for like $100 and then you can throw in the following:

Chest Press (incline and flat)
Chest Flies (incline and flat)

Get a door frame chin up bar from Amazon for $30 so you can do pullups.

Stop focusing so much on just arms. Your arms will tone up plenty just from chest/shoulder presses and pullups/rows.

That's my two cents.

She does realize that they aren't to look at, but to lift, right?
