could see this being a huge thing on the Mississippi River with Audubon Park being the starting point. What could go wrong?
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.

Pretty Impressed with them on this.
There has been one. Like one forecasted good day since the start.
There was a Sunday a week before where it laid down and was nice.
Despite the bad forecast, we don’t know what it will look like 100% until the day comes- appreciate them getting ahead of it- for sure to work on the quota- but it gives the anglers a chance to have an epic weekend.

There’s an epic offshore boat and Captain there. It’s not a Bertram, it’s even better.
My bad- you threw me for a loop there. I hear he's good, but a 20 year old Viking is not "epic"
I think Chedballz on here has fished with him for his son's graduation a few years ago. Chedballz said it was a great trip.
And for the downvoters, Grand Isle still is be best place on Earth.
re: Battery Tender/Auto Bilge Question
Posted by subMOA on 5/18/26 at 8:21 am to LSUSUPERSTAR
Test it- auto bilge switch is normally hooked directly to 12V so you cant inadvertently sink it by turning the master off.
I am terrified of a thru hull failure sinking me.
2 1100 GPH pumps- one is hooked to an auto switch direct to batteries. If I start to see bilge water going overboard. that’s my cue to go see what’s up and if a catastrophe- turn on the second pump.
ETA- when you moor it, make sure to close all your thru hull valves- many a sinking could have been avoided by just that.
Also- if you didn’t paint the bottom, get it done now- you would be shocked how fast little marine critters like to grow on your hull.

If you strike out at Hurricane Hole, Southern Angler got a new 39 Contender last year- they are really good guys out of Grand Isle Marina.
Grand Isle is the greatest place on earth.
Any captain out of GI is good.
All of the sportys go out of Hurricane Hole, but I don’t know of any of them that charter. Call the marina office to see.

Man, when my kids were little I sure as hell wasn’t going to tell them people throw them back.
Know what? They clean and fry up just fine.
I appreciate Chedballz for teaching me this.
Once I saw some jackass at Bridgeside throwing back, like dead whole fish, sheepshead at the cleaning station. I thought, “bruh. WTF? GW Fins would hit you for $40 a plate for that- learn to clean them”

Brokers are the lowest scum of the earth.
I had a guy (consigned by the manufacturer) destroy a $400,000 machine because the manufacturer insisted that they needed to arrange transport. A machine that’s over 13’ tall. I begged the manufacturer. Told them I would pay a penalty just to let me haul it. My version was a 379 Long Nose with a drop side lowboy that scrapes the crown of the road when you change lanes. But nooooo, they send some kid in a plastic truck that couldn’t be bothered to read a tape and didn’t call a permit in. One overpass bridge on I-10 later and he arrived with half a machine. I was like, “uhhhh, where’s the rest of it?”
Broker had the audacity to tell him to come to me and we’d sort it out.
Once, had trucking arranged by the same manufacturer. $7500 trucking on the invoice. I asked the guy “Hey, how much did the broker give you for this load?” “$3500”
Scum. Now at least they can be responsible for something.

Considering he’s won a number of 7 figure awards, as much as I hate to admit it- I don’t think he’s a moron.
But since you know so much about practicing law, I will defer to you and tell him he absolutely does not need the clerk’s office any longer- and it could be run by preschoolers.
