Landry wouldn’t need to sign it- if it passes the senate, he can let it sit and it becomes law without his signature.

Huge disappointment on 855.

I just cannot wait until we can find an actual replacement for Landry who cares about this state.

The 22’ depth would be, to me, one of the greatest wins the public has ever received from the legislature to protect our natural resources. I saw the pogey boats last year within 1/4 mile from land last summer- it was sickening to me.

To show how HUGE the 22’ depth is- here are a couple screenshots from Navionics 22’ to land.

And their state legislature is considering a rule where people with Antique Car license plates can only drive them on the weekend during daylight hours.

A once great state no more.

Ironically- my finance bro son just told me “dad, my buddy’s dad just sold his hedge fund to become a gig guitarist”

I have one at Tulane going the finance bro route. The younger says MIT- he wants to study nuclear energy in some way shape or form.

Yes, their mother is really smart.

Cintas bruh!

Seriously, I've found rubbing with Fast Orange or similar hand soap works well.

Also, I have found that trying to hit them with a pressure washer works extremely well, but is hell on the fabric....which leaves a mark worse than the grease stain itself.

A1 Mini Bambu- we got one for my 13 yo for Christmas and he needs a shipment of filament every week to keep going. He’s in 24/7 production and has developed quite a side hustle at middle school peddling all this crap he makes.

Bambu is the iphone of 3D printers- you can run it off your phone, and their Maker Lab programs? I guess that’s what you call it- have unlimited things to print.

10/10 would do again.

John Deere used to make most of their construction equipment in Peoria Illinois. Walk around new equipment today and see they are made everywhere BUT Peoria. Deere gets cheap labor to build them, then they send them over here at little or no savings to the consumer. Deere pockets the labor savings while Americans are laid off. Its a model that works good for Deere and others until the US gets depleted of wealth.

Tell me you know nothing about the equipment business, without telling me you know NOTHING about the equipment business.

Deere never had a factory in Peoria, most Deere construction equipment comes from Dubuque and Davenport, Iowa- and the rat bastards just took two non-union construction models and put them at union plants.

Not hunting, but outdoors….

Sailing Nahoa- they quit their jobs, bought a crappy Lagoon catamaran and now are on their 2nd circumnavigation…in the same boat. Also had 2 kids along the way. Super cool couple and the wife is hilariously Canadian, eh?

NautiStyles- Pretty hot former Russian actress and her kinda dolty husband tour yachts for sale. Pretty informative about big boats- they really do know their stuff.

The Captain’s Coach- My favorite as of late. Florida Man- as in a very typical Florida Man is a yacht captain and offers training to new boat owners. He is not patient. He berates the clients. He is an absolute expert on recreational vessels though, so people put up with him. It’s pretty funny to watch him tell a dude who just dropped a million on a center console. “Hands OFF the wheel, Stuart. Hands OFF the joystick. What throttle should you be using, Stuart? Port or Starboard?”

I threw a new bike one year- it was glorious!

Can you actually buy a Rolex from a Rolex AD for MSRP?

---

Well, that depends.....

I can damn near guarantee you have to have history with the AD. Here is my experience.....I'm neck deep in it now.

I have a modest amount of history with my local AD. Enough to at least get asked "what I want" But I'm not buying anything that I would think is out of the ordinary for a husband that likes his wife to have nice things. I have been on their "list" for a Batgirl GMT for 2 years. Late last year, I was asked if I wanted anything else. So I gave them a ref. for a 31mm Datejust for my wife. The SA told me she thought we could get it. The AD texted me this week and told me they did not get it on the late 2025 order, but wanted to try again if I was still interested. So, maybe this year?

Also, I can kick myself every day....I had a Batgirl in my hand at the Rolex boutique in Heathrow in 2016 before the world went nuts. With the exchange rate at the time, it was $6700. I passed because I was CONVINCED they would soon have a stainless Pepsi (this was in the white gold Pepsi era). And we all know what has happened since then.

Doxa Army- I rarely set the date on any of my watches.
