Walmart no longer open 24 hours.
Lunch will be some black bean soup later.

shite worked for me. Kinda like a semi-legal coke without the good feelings. Just awake and alert. I never acquired it through approved channels--there was always some kind of Moda-cat website overseas that would ship it no questions asked. But, circa 2010-2015, I took it probably weekly to stay awake and meet deadlines. Personal record during that time was wake up Sunday morning and went back to bed early AM the following Saturday.

Obviously, it's not a good idea if you have any kind of insomnia. It never caused any kind of other negative side effects--at least not that I know of. Ended up getting a "normal" 8-5 job, and left those pills in my desk. Did take a couple a few years back when I had to make an overnight drive from Miami to BR, but otherwise it messes up my sleep too much to take it regularly.

Great grandma lived to like 105, so I’m pretty sure I’m getting close to middle age at this point (52).

Need to let Mrs. FCP know I’m ready to buy a convertible.

We left right near end of the 3rd quarter. We heard the start of the 4th while waiting for the GD train that decided to pass while we were hiking out to the hay fields. We made it out the back of River Road and down to Nicholson/Gardere by game end. And still had to drive another hour to make it home. Finally stepped out of the shower at 12:15 AM this morning.

Back in my younger days, I could stay (and drink) without issue. These days, it takes a toll on me, even without alcohol. Getting old suuuuuuuuucks, although it beats the alternative.

cool cultural event that may one day become a thing of the past.
That’s where I landed on it. I’ve only been once. Approx two years ago. Took my youngest who was 15 at the time and made the trip with friends from church who go there every year.

They recommended getting there way early. I think we were eating breakfast at the St. Francisville Mickey Ds around 7AM. It made for a long day, but the time passed pretty quickly.

Be sure you have plenty of fuel in your vehicle. There aren’t any stations from US61 all the way to Angola, and you’ll be idling for at least an hour when exiting. Security was surprisingly unobtrusive—you could pretty much walk in/out of the area without issue.

It is a fully cash event. There’s plenty of food and drinks available, but no credit cards anywhere that I could find. Food is standard issue SELA festival fare. Lots of fried foods, sausage, etc. Cell service was surprisingly good, at least until everyone was leaving. At that point, it went to shite.

Definitely worth making a first trip. Not sure I’ll ever make a return visit, but for sure worth doing 1x.

Nah, I just go look in the mirror if anything comes up.

Actually, that’s not true at all. I’ve got plenty of lawyers in my orbit. One in particular for criminal defense that I’ve used. Remember walking into his office and being blown away by all the LSU paraphernalia. Come to find out that circa Nick Saban, this dude was the fixer for all the student athletes. Most folks—even those in the legal community—wouldn’t know his name, but that dude had the ability to make shite disappear.

No idea about the engine, but from my experience out here on the north side of Baton Rouge, the $25K Chevy Traverse (???) is going to be a strong candidate to replace the Nissan Altima.

Telco worker here. Backing is mandatory--unless there are other, safer options. Doing that multiple times daily while working 60+ hrs/wk will make you back your wife's minivan into her spot at church, before getting out and heading to the back to set out 4 cones. :banghead:
Circa Les Miles, a friend of ours had 2 sideline passes. He was basically a super salesman for one of the chemical companies, and he was the kind of person who knew everyone and would ask anyone for anything. Somehow through his connections, he ended up with the passes. He would take anyone who asked with him to games and onto the field. There are at least a couple photos of Les Miles with my buddy and our church's pastor standing in the background. Anyway, he passed away a few years ago, and I'm pretty sure his son kept the passes. I still keep in touch with their respective wife and mom, so I'll try to find out. Regardless, the point is there are definitely "normal" folks out there with field passes who can get you onto the sideline.

No shite. We’ve got baws on here that can’t figure out unkept vs unkempt even though they can see just fine.
2010. New construction. Already owned the land. Around $220K all-in. 4 br, 3.5 bath.

We’ve since added a carport, pool, concrete driveway, etc. According to Allstate, replacement value is just shy of $400K.

Right before we built, I was looking at a house near North St in Baton Rouge. I needed an office near downtown, and with interest rates historically low, I almost pulled the plug on a 2 br place for around $30K. Figured that even though it was a shitty neighborhood that I’d only be in/out during daylight hours. Monthly payment would’ve only been around $200 or so, maybe less. Ended up sharing a “real” office with another person for a few years instead.
