My Acadian 5X great grandfather who landed in St James Parish in 1765 was in the Galvez Expedition. As well as his two brothers.

But I haven’t made the effort to sign up for membership in SAR, but maybe I should.

Can anyone recommend a honest dentist to me in Metairie or NOLA?

Hitchin’ Post in Ozona Texas.

I was driving I-10 to California and pulled off to have lunch. Saw a sign that said Steak Special Today. Got the steak with fries and green beans. The steak had to be 16 oz. Great meal. If I remember correctly it was $10.

re: Tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets

Posted by doublecutter on 6/14/26 at 9:59 pm to labguy

My grandpa used to grow tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets. He had a dozen or so buckets on the patio. My dad was in the painting business and he would clean out some white buckets that had contained latex paint and give grandpa a fresh batch of buckets every year. My dad starting using a new brand of paint that were in black plastic buckets. After he gave my grandpa a batch of the black buckets for a growing season my grandpa wanted nothing but black buckets. His tomato yield exploded when he started using the black buckets. He thought that the black buckets observed more heat hence it helped the tomatoes grow stronger and faster. YMMV.

re: I have been seeing a lot more white gig workers lately

quote: I do Uber Eats 6-10 hours a week. Only work weekend nights from about 5:30-8:00. If orders are good, I’ll sometimes work till 9:00. If orders are shitty, I’ll sign off at 7:00. 90% of my orders are Metairie east of Transcontinental and Lakeview up to the Orleans Canal. Always take orders paying at least $2 a mile. I’ll take a well paying order to Harahan/ River Ridge and occasionally to Kenner. I try not to deliver to any apartment complexes. After doing it awhile you learn the restaurants to stay away from because they always make you wait for the order. I’m able to average $20-$40 an hour. And I don’t work in the rain, like tonight. I’ll add to my OP to mention another Uber Eats driver I met because we are often picking up at the same restaurants. This guy is a retired staff attorney from the Louisiana AG office and he told me when he retired he started doing Uber Eats to get out of the house. He could have found side gig work doing something with his attorney experience but he says that he was tired of the law and wanted to do something different. He said he likes listening to classical music and he drives and delivers while listening to his music. He said any money he makes he gives to a granddaughter that goes to LSU so she has spending money. I don’t think he needs the money as I once went to his house in River Ridge and it is easily a $500 K house. And he recently went to Italy for two weeks. Just an example that it takes all kinds to do side gigs.

I posted this in a thread a few weeks ago about doing side gigs. Seems pertinent to this thread.

I'd also be wary of Dot owned stations adding water to the tanks.

When I lived down in SW Florida, a guy was caught with a water hose snaking across the driveway from a spicket on side of the building. He was running water into the underground gas tank. It was about 2 or 3 AM. A passerby saw it and filmed it and turned it over to a local TV station.

Think about it, if he adds 1000 gallons of water a month, at $3 a gallon, he’s bringing in some nice extra cash. I wonder how many car engines he ruined.

After the story was televised that convenience store shut down and it was eventually demolished.

110 years ago, that place would cost you $5K.

Back in the 1920’s my grandparents lived in Morgan City. The local movie house had some kind of cash prize contest on a certain night every week and the prize was progressive, if someone didn’t win it the prize would rollover until someone won it. My grandmother and her sister would go every week because the prize had built up to what at that time was a substantial amount of money.

And my grandmother won it, $1200 cash. My grandparents used that money and $1000 my grandfather had saved up and bought a house. $2200 total. My dad and all his siblings were born in that house.

My grandfather worked for the railroad and when WWII started he got transferred to NOLA because of increased shipments that were destined to the Higgins boat yards. They had intended to move back to Morgan City when the war was over but never did. My grandfather kept the house through the tears and rented it out. I remember being a kid and going with my grandfather to check on and do repairs to the house. It wasn’t a bad house, kind of similar in looks to the posted house, but my grandfather really kept in up. He didn’t finally sell the house until the ‘70s.

When you got to Santa Monica, did you drive all the way back east? I’ve thought about doing the whole Route 66 and flying to Chicago, rent a car, drive to SM and then fly back to NOLA.
