If you fish/boat, think about if you will own a boat with a T-top. Go with 12' doors if so.

220 power if you weld.

This,
I have a camp on an island in the marsh that is owned by an oil company. havent had a problem in 30 years.

But look at the camps on Graveyard Island on Bell River/Lake Verret. All those camps (50+) were on leased land owned by a family. 3-4 years ago the land owning family quit renewing the lease. It was either buy the land under your camp or loose your camp. IF you couldnt afford your camp on the 100K price tag land, you were shite out of luck.

re: LOOP Crude Oil Spill

I fished Cocodrie on Saturday. Ran between Caillou Boca and Coon Point on the way in from offshore, wind blowing 10-15 mph. Had a decent chop in the Gulf. When we got behind the island, we could smell the oil and for as far as you could see, there wasnt a ripple on the water for 3-or 4 square miles. Weirdest thing I have seen in a while. After a few miles of riding through this area, we quit smelling the oil and the chop picked back up.

There were 20-30 boats putting out oil boom and working the beaches.
Added 2.5k under $4.

Would be nice if the elusive FID would come out this month....

If he is as smart as you say he is, going into the trades is still a good option. Learn the trade, then own the business in that trade or move into a management position. He can make more money than most white collar folks do. Having a detailed understanding of the work he manages puts him in a class that most cannot compete with.

I cant really help, but i will say the trailer for my skiff has never been registered. Bought it in Mississippi , and it was originally from another state that doesn't require registration. I tried for a while to track down all the paperwork needed to register it but was unsuccessful. I have been stopped once in 10 years, told the officer I lost the plate, and i dont think he ticketed me.

I know its illegal, but ill take the risk since there is minimal risk involved. I dont plan on selling either.
80% is probably a pre-sale goal and the remaining 20% will be in the open market. Either cut back production or produce and store if the storage fee is not horrible.

I bet they are also smart enough not to agree on 100% output when this is new tech. The plant may not be able to reach/ produce the full 22,500 ton capacity and they do not want to breach contracts.
This is our Monthly run up for end of the month news possibility, followed by the beginning of the month draw down because of no new.
Im building a new home an will go with Glued. The difference is the noise. The floating is louder. especially with dogs and their claws.

re: Sea dek for bay boat

Posted by Elusiveporpi on 2/23/26 at 2:09 pm to
I had Gray Seadek in my last bay Boat. Everything shows. Everything stains. only way to to get it out was a pressure waters, and only some stains come out. Fish blood. good luck if it dries.

If i jumped in my boat with my shoes on at the house it would leave a mark. and would not come out with a brush and soap.

I bought the boat with the seadek in it so it was old, but still, i would never own a boat with it installed. Plus, once its down its a PIA removing it.

re: 3 row SUV suggestions for wife

Wife just bought the TX350 used with 20k miles. Has third row with decent room behind it. Time will tell on longevity. Its basically a Grand Highlander, but don't tell her that.......
it wasnt too low Sunday before last. But the reds were stubborn. I passed a bait an inch in front of 50 redfish and only a few would bite. water was in the 40's.

The north wind is what holds it down. Fish when its blows out the south and you should have more water.
See last line, posted on the SLI facebox. But still not going to hold my breathe

I used GROK for adding color to my house plans.

Possible reasoned for the fall per AI “The sharp drop in lithium stock prices on January 30, 2026, was primarily caused by reports that a major Chinese lithium mine would soon resume operations, leading to concerns about increased supply flooding the market. Additionally, a separate report suggesting the U.S. government might be moving away from critical mineral price floor agreements added to market uncertainty. “
I would love to know how the site has ran/performed through these winter storms. Lots of plants/industrial facilities struggle to keep running through below freezing temps for an extended amount of time. Or they could have shut down until the freeze is over since they are not making a profit anyway.

SMACK, you have any intel on this?
2 more trading days in January…… if we don’t get news, I see it dropping pretty good.

We have a real fireplace and still stream the fireplace video on youtube to the TV...........lol
Another option- I'm building soon and I'm going electric. It never gets cold enough in LA to enjoy the fireplace for more that 20 minutes without the house getting too hot.

I just want the fireplace look and watch the "flames" without the heat.
