I travel with and then hike with/carry around an osprey manta 20L. It has an internal frame and a hip belt which makes it super comfortable to use, and easily fits under an airline seat. It also comes with a water bladder and tube if that’s a plus for you. Mine is 10 years old at least with heavy use and looks new (except for the stains LOL).
I also have an osprey daylite but as noted without the frame it’s not that comfortable to carry around all day

quote:it’s a smaller area so it’s easier but the dauphin street area has a very visible police presence after dark (or at least it has when I e been there). It makes a huge difference. Interestingly the troublemakers in mobile look identical to the troublemakers in New Orleans weird how that works
I'm pretty sure it's a tactic to keep crime down. Downtown gets most dangerous when the sun goes down so they shut down early.

quote:completely different platform but my 15/22 cycles subs with a suppressor no problem. Gemtech makes quality subsonic ammo but honestly the far cheaper CCI standard velocity is almost as quiet so that’s what I usually use
Any other 22lr bolt or semiautomatics that anyone would recommend?
the 15/22 is light as a feather, super simple and easy to clean and mags are cheap and reliable
Blue Star range, 36”

yeah it’s a terrible practice. People have no idea how important insects are to their little slice of the biosphere. Everything that doesn’t have teeth (and some that do) eats insects. And the vast majority of insects are beneficial.
Fire ants are here to stay unless and until a sterilizing agent is developed that is easily and efficiently delivered to the queens. Spot treatment controls the nuisance mounds which is all I’m after (mounds in garden and planting beds and around the house where we spend outdoor time)

that would take 3 gallons of bifen and 1500 gallons of water LOL

couple nights at the malaga inn, dinner at noble south or hummingbird way, beers at callaghans, music at merry widow...all 2.5 hrs from home. great weekend getaway
quote:both far better than cane and wont cut your hands up. also easier to brush up with. on the wax myrtle cut the long skinny sprouts off of an area thats already been cut. they will last a week at least on your blind
Wax myrtle and willow
roseau cane is a pretty important marsh resource...it holds the banks together while they firm up (or if eroding, slows it down)

yes I need to turn the 1.5MM into 2MM by the time I turn 65 (5 years). But that’s with spending 100-150K ea year to live and play. Then I’ll have 3MM total plus the house to make it until 80. After that who the frick knows
Have some decent results from a pretty halfhearted winter garden attempt. The yield to effort on this has been very high
Romansco, broccoli, candystripe/golden/red beets, carrots, bok choy, white and purple radishes. I’ll let the bok choy, lettuces and mustard greens go to seed.
ready for today's greens pot

there is a place in my heart for a medium rare burger, loaded potato and a couple monsoons from port of call. I’m glad it’s there when the mood strikes

fixing to head over to Tavi and gorge on pita bread and whatever else we order but mostly pita bread. Happy NYE everyone
watched this again for about the fifth or sixth time last night, it’s still great and quite funny at times. I knew it was coming but spit up my beer when he rolls under the truck the first time LOL
one minor thing I’ve always wondered is why, once they knew where the omega was, they didn’t just bomb the building? Why travel all that way, get all of J squad killed, and go hand to hand combat? Or send a couple cruise missles?

we went with Frigidaire freezer/fridge columns, blue star range and Bosch dishwasher. I’ve never used the dishwasher but I’m told it’s nice. The fridge, freezer and range are incredible
best advice I got was to shop appliance stores not Home Depot. We got excellent pricing, competent delivery and great customer service

keep us posted thanks
Mexico City is a place we keep talking about but never go. Maybe we will try this summer. Currently working on a Grand Canyon/petrified forest/santa fe/Colorado itinerary for late August early September this year…fly in to phoenix and fly home from denver

2026 is a gap year for me...zero income unless i hustle as the proceeds from my business sale wont hit until april 2027. so my goal for 2026 is 30,000 in realized gains so i can be eligible for ACA premium subsidy, and as much unrealized gain as i can manage.
next year will tell whether i am talented enough to trade for income or whether i'll need to go find a job :lol:
i just need to make $500,000 in unrealized gain until i turn 65 (5 years including 2026) and then i'll be golden. that is on $1.5MM actively invested, that will allow me to fully invest the $1MM in capital gains and live off the interest
