1 More Day Till Snapper Season

Posted by subMOA on 4/29/25 at 7:02 pm
I can’t wait- just finishing up my boat turnaround- one more pump to install and add my AIS VHF to my NMEA network and we are ready!

Sucks that seas look shitty for Thursday, but I think by Saturday it’ll be ok.
Fantastic take....and yes on BMW abysmal reliability. The reason I was at the Toyota dealership is because said kid's N55 engine randomly seized last week- car has been fully maintained, not tracked, and all highway miles.

It honestly was the greatest car I ever drove 335i MSport with a 6 speed. But not when the engine can't make it over 100k.

Build up an SR5 with real off-roading parts…but that’s fricking obvious, right?



I went to buy a 4WD Tacoma for my son yesterday- he's off to college and I thought we would spring for a new ride for him.

Holy shite.....$53,000 for a TRD?? It's like a SR5 4WD doesn't exist in Louisiana.

To put all this in perspective- in 2017, I bought a new 2500HD 4WD LT with the 6.0 gas. It was $49,000- I felt like that was a reasonable price.

That truck is on my buddy's farm today, still looks good, had a transmission put in it at 250,000 and has over 300,000 on it today.
I don’t have all the answers, because I ask myself this about our processes all the time- but one thing I see that works-

Have the boss boss- facility leader, company president, owner, etc. write on a sticky note and leave it at the new persons desk the day before they start-

“Ashley- welcome to the team, I’m glad you’re here!”

Added bonus- for lady, leave a flower, for a dude, leave a knife, trinket, whatever

They're gonna shite when someone brings a tractor in there and starts bailing up the leaves with a round baler- it works pretty good.
Sir:

I presume you are in your mid-40s by your TD handle.

Yet you are whining to internet strangers about your internship and your mid-70 year old parents ribbing of you that your MBA is not real.

Please don’t behave like this in an interview.

I used Geaux Preaux last time I had one done. Super good work- well done!

We’re getting a Hyundai plant on the Westbank- Cointment ain’t worried about your Colony on Alligator Bayou subdivision anymore.

I worked all over Sub-Saharan Africa right after the Mugabe foolishness and right after the Mozambique civil war.

Farming is a 24/7/365 deal. You work when the weather lets you and not when you want to, or how you want to.

You can lose a major farm in the US with just one year of bad decisions even if you made a crop.

Now imagine if you don’t know shite, are entitled, and lazy.

What you see in production ag. today is a very complex management problem. It doesn’t grow by magic.
I’m rocking prescription Ray Ban New Wayfarers- Polarized.

In a world of all the new brands and our old faithfuls Costa and Maui Jim, I thought a return to a real classic would be cool.

Me too on the LCP- I like how with the factory holster, it prints like a wallet and when you go to draw it, the tab keeps it in your britches.

I can shoot mine better than I should be able to for such a tiny arse gun.
I appreciate you sharing- a friend of mine was talking about this today. Now I know when I can get tickets.
He means going to the redneck fest in Livingston.

Looks like between Hwy 90 and Bayou Folse. On the Raceland side of 90.
Your graphics are the reason why I still believe Trump is right and we all need to take a deep breath.

The world can’t function in its current way without our spending.

China would go back to the stone ages if we didn’t spend trillions on their cheap crap that in turn allows them to spend trillons.

Speechless. As many of us, I grew up on the water. In a boat by myself since I could tow one to the launch.

I have a son now doing the same thing.

That kid was terrified.

I bet that a-hole wouldn’t have acted like that to a grown man.

I wish his trip would have just taken off with his boat and left his sorry arse.

re: Lawyers of the OT- illegal search?

This is a public high school in Louisiana. Student doesn’t even have a parking permit. Car is parked on the shoulder of a parish road. Other students park there legally, as do patrons of businesses on that road.

For example- there is a dentist office across the same road. Sometimes I’ll park on the side of the road just like the student did if there are limited spots at the dentist.

Lawyers of the OT- illegal search?

Posted by subMOA on 4/1/25 at 9:59 pm
A senior at our local high school was suspended for 40 days today- no idea how that affects the students graduation, or why the term is so long.

Why?

Student parks along a street adjoining the campus, school officials claim it is school property. Perhaps. IDK.

In a random vehicle check deputies saw a cooler in the student’s car. Student was called to open their car. They did.

Deputies found 4 unopened beers. This was presumably left over from prom this weekend.

Question- how is seeing a cooler reasonable suspicion for a search? If the student would have refused to open the vehicle, would a judge grant a search warrant? Surely the student doesn’t own the car. It is owned by their parents.

According to my child who goes to this school, he says his buddy is called out of class regularly during these inspections because he’s a baw and fishes after school and always has a little cooler in his truck with his lake snacks.

Besides not being a dumbass and bringing beer to a place that could be construed as school property, what should the student have done?

You should come ride in my Peterbilt- 13’ 7” stacks, no resonators. On a day cab.

You can only ride in it for about 45 minutes before it drives you nuts.

And the whole cab is layered in Dynamat.

ETA- but the kids think it’s cool- when the injector pump man asked “how you want it?” I replied “right before the connecting rods come out the block” “I got ya”

If Silencers Are Taken Off The NFA?

Posted by subMOA on 3/28/25 at 6:37 pm
I think there is a pretty decent chance that silencers and SBRs get taken off the NFA soon.

What happens to the price of silencers?

1. Stays exactly the same.

2. Goes up $200.

3. Goes down remarkably because of increased demand and thus increased competition and supply chain improvements.

4. Goes up remarkably since there are no barriers to purchase and anyone can buy- industry needs to slow the market to keep up with demand, so they increase the price.

Discuss….
