Very rough day…I flew Delta MSY to ATL yesterday morning…AC wasn’t working right and they were bringing us back to the gate when a passenger had a medical emergency. EMS got him off the plane, thankfully he seemed to be doing fine when they took him off. We finally take off and landed 5 min before...
Is this another event for the private sector to meet with / entertain our politicians? If so, didn't we just have a similar event with Washington Mardi Gras?...

I really want to leave NOLA….so many bad things but I am stuck for the next 10 years or so. With that said, today at 3rd and St Charles did something for me, it was perfect (now I left at 5pm, so who know how it is now), it was just perfect. It restored my faith in the city, so many amazing people ...

re: Nola Parade Permits - Nyx Related

I actually think from the parade stands at Causeway through Bonnabel is the best part of the Metairie route and not as trashy as say, the Severn area. With that said, once the parade gets back on Veterans after Bonnabel it is trashy by Jiggers. We went last year and had the neutral ground to our...

re: Accountants fees skyrocketing

Let me know if you have any candidates that fit that profile, they are harder and harder to find. Then, if you find one, they want to be paid $50K base now (at least), plus OT and benefits. At the end of the day, you are paying $15 - $20 per hour for a kid to flip burgers at McDonald's. C...

re: Accountants fees skyrocketing

Things are more complex. There are less and less CPAs and accountants who want to deal with taxes, along with increase in tax software and wages for staff means prices are going up. For years CPAs ate a bunch of their time, from talking to a few firms, those firms have enough work that they are ...
Quite a bit of tax incentives to install chargers. If I had a grocery store, mall, movie theater, gym; somewhere folks can kill time, it could work. I assume it's only a matter of time before most parking garages have charging stations. It would be nice to pull into the office, plug in to charge u...

re: Superdome is on fire

Posted by Nappy on 9/21/21 at 2:58 pm
I hope the plan is to paint around the "Caesars Superdome" to color that section in. If not, when they painted over the "Mercedes Benz Superdome" they did it with white paint; and the dome's roof is not pure white which shows the contrast. ...

See the link. Coast Guard is still investigating. I heard he was T-boned by the crab boat as well. He will be missed. https://www.the-sun.com/news/3554829/delacroix-island-boat-accident-two-missing/...

Unfortunately Capt Mark was killed in a boat accident right before the storm. Very sad, he was a great guy and great captain. He will be missed. I would recommend Rory...
As a CPA, this is good advice. Depending on the complexity of your business, you may want your CPA to review monthly, but you should feel that out. I do think for small businesses without a seasoned Controller or strong bookkeeper who understands financials and tax impacts on the owners, they shoul...

re: E-Tec Motor Troubles

Posted by Nappy on 4/8/21 at 1:40 pm
I have a 2006 90 E-tec. We had a similar issue, it was the oil pump if I recall. The motor went into a "safe" mode of sorts and we could only idle. Got it fixed at Bayou Outboards; it wasn't cheap. ...
