re: What's the hot Hush Puppy these days?

I have a Mark IV 22/45 with a Banish 22 on it- it really is “movie quiet”
It’s even better on my 16” barrel Magpul 10/22.
Drawback- Silencer Central is obviously not the go to now, and I think the owner actively lobbied to keep the NFA in place.

Tell me about it. I’m sitting here at my camp waiting on a guy I have used before- I hired him to build a set of steps- it looks like my 14 yo framed it up.
Actually, my 14 yo would have done better. And this guy is not cheap.
Where have the craftsmen gone?

All this! So now, we get to wait all August to go fish for Amberjack?

No you didn’t. Real 6 footers are a bear to handle in a 27’ offshore boat.
After a day where we had 10’ seas off Grand Isle a month ago, I had a supply boat captain tell me “man, it got so snotty out there yesterday, we were 8 knots coming in” In a 200’ long boat.
So no, you didn’t go willy nilly play in 6 footers.
re: Have any of yall personally met any Politicians from Louisiana? What were they like?
Posted by subMOA on 7/20/26 at 1:22 pm to FlyingTigerBo
Let’s see…
I know our current governor. He’s cool in person, not sure why he comes across as a douche canoe (term stolen from the OT) in public. I wish he wouldn’t do that.
I kinda know Nungesser. He answers my texts if I reach out.
Jindal- seems very smart, was nice to talk to
Mitch Landrieu- when I met him, I thought “this dude was born to be a politician- he f’in glows” Like it wasn’t human- maybe makeup or something.
Personal friends, went to LSU with one of them, 2 state reps. Both good dudes and love Louisiana.
One state senator, really good guy- I think he will do well nationally for us if the tides go in his favor.
Rode in Mardi Gras with a former state senator- still stay in touch somewhat.
Very close friends with my current and former parish president. Like go to each others houses and such. Former has statewide aspirations and will do well. Maybe can go higher.
Friends with our sheriff- that’s a good gig in Louisiana if you can get elected.
Know another sheriff and a chief of police well- same as above.
Friends with a small town mayor (kids are friends from school- we hit it off the same). Salt of the earth. Wants his town to grow and succeed. Major plus for the town.
Know the mayor of the town one of my businesses is in- total character, never had a reason to not like him. Trying his arse off to do a good job in a growing town.
Grew up with a district judge, acquainted with another.
Had breakfast with Garret Graves once- if you can’t like that dude, something may be wrong with you.
Acquainted with Mike Strain- he knows who I am- but we don’t communicate directly. Total character- he tickles the shite out of me. Like he was also born to do that job.
Know at least one statewide appointee.
With all that said, I don’t consider myself politically connected and not once, not ever have called for a favor. And Lord knows there have been times I’ve wanted to ask.
Perhaps that’s why I can have relationships with these folks.

Two of my dearest friends just went through this.
Trust me- the minute they figure out what it’s like to have no help, baby won’t sleep, mom and dad can’t do anything they used to do anymore…..they will come begging paw paw and maw maw to help….you’ll be cuddling and kissing that grandbaby in no time.

They got this fella, Beau Waitz, Grand Isle Fish Cleaning. Now, we just text him on the way in, he meets us at our slip, we drink bushwhackers, he puts the cleaned fish with separate throats in an ice chest in the back of my truck.
For $60 bucks, I’m never cleaning a fish again.

Uhhh, the fact that the current in the river is so strong either- a) the jetskis can barely make progress past Audubon Park, or b) when a rider falls off, the police pick them up around Chalmette.

re: Anyone Want to Go into the Dry Ice Business?
Posted by subMOA on 6/23/26 at 6:41 am to Funky Tide 8
Interestingly enough, I’ve heard the opposite….Industrial CO2 in massive quantities can be hard to source, but dry ice, no problem.
Friend of mine was using CO2 to inject in a concrete slurry- apparently it helps the cure time- welding gas place they were sourcing from was out (they were getting the gas in those banks of like 8 bottles). No CO2, they have to stop a $40MM tunnel boring machine. So, they took a dump truck, went to the dry ice plant, and had them load up a truck full of dry ice. Apparently they dumped this load 175’ down a hole into their slurry so they could continue to make the tunnel walls.

That’s the best pocket carry I can think of.
My carry also….
It’s cheap, so I don’t care what happens to it.
I can also shoot it much better than I think it should.
The little holster it comes with is pretty magic- it doesn’t print in jeans and when you grab the grip, it comes right out like it should.
For all the haters- holes hurt. It’s easy to say it’s not enough gun. But I bet if
you got shot with a .380, you wouldn’t say that anymore.
The greatest thing I ever rode- also the thing that nearly made me have a ride in a helicopter.
Best memory- Yamaha had come out with the Raptor. Kids in the Spillway on Raptors ripping around. “Hey, y’all wanna race those old things against these?” “Yeah, sure”….snickering. Even a bone stock ‘85 would destroy the Raptor. The other bike we had with an Eric Gorr cylinder, fabbed pipe hidden under a stock heat guard, and a head that…If I remember right….was reworked from a Yamaha or a Suzuki something or other- I can’t remember what the deal was with that- it was like racing a top fuel dragster against a sportsman car.
Those were the days! I had (actually still have) a full Jeff Fredette KDX that would make an arse out of a stock CR250.

This is pretty ridiculous to tell someone making 60k a year, “Hey man you should try and double your income.
Don’t ever let that thought in your head ever again. You decide what income you need to live the way you want.
You bust your arse every day to get there. There are too many good jobs in this country to not be able to get what you want.
Now, with that said- Every single person I have ever hired that couldn’t make that happen was generally lazy, arrogant, angry…it was never them. All the meanwhile, their peers were advancing.
There are good companies out there. Don’t stay at a crappy one.
But it doesn’t happen overnight….like the Cypress Hill man said.

I am upvoting you, sir- because you know.
When I was building my company- actually that never stops- anyhow, there was a really lucrative incentive from one of our suppliers- like put you on the map lucrative. I asked our rep “Sooo, is there a limit to this program?” “As long as the sales are booked in the program period, no limit.”
I worked 700 hours in 40 days. Ended up in the hospital because of it. Doctor told me “You know, it’s possible to work yourself to death, right?”
“Yeah Doc, but these MF’ers at our supplier had to turn their incentive program off because of me.”
When the dust settled, the supplier rep told me….”Your one location sold more product than the whole country of Canada during that period”

I have been a motorhead all my life- raced at Bonneville, did some off road stuff in the Midwest, rallied in Mauritius, and had the opportunity once to be some of the money (a very small part of the money) behind one of Antron Brown’s dragsters.
One of the biggest smiles I ever had behind the wheel was in a 281,000 mile S2000. Stupid,stupid reliable. Mucho Mucho fun.
They have a cult following, so if you decide fun car ownership isn’t what you thought it was going to be, some guy who has a last name like Chung or Fong will gladly pay you for it.
That, or a C6 Vette- once you get past the Cavalier radio and such, C5 or C6 Vettes are badass- and no, you don’t need jorts or Skechers to have one.
