IPhone found in Destin

Posted by flamot1 on 6/20/22 at 10:14 pm
While setting a couple of crab traps beneath the bridge entering Destin this weekend, I noticed an iPhone on the bottom by the old pilings East of the bridge. We scooped it up with a crab net, this phone took a charge and powered up. The previous owner from Tennessee lost it two weeks ago while on ...

As a matter of fact, just spent $222 before tip for lunch for the wife and me in New York. Really nice place, but seriously, that $100 too much. Rezdora is the restaurant...
Has anyone opened a 529 K12 account? I was checking my son's 529 performance and saw the announcement of the K12 program that apparently began in 2019. It appears that I have to open a second account for the K12, and any funds from it can roll over to the traditional START account if needed. You ...
Front end DTI with $500k build and existing mortgage is 38%. I'm at 57% when I add monthly household costs. The land will be bought prior to construction, so the loan is house only. I expect the build to cost around $450k, but I don't know yet....
I'm in the early stages of designing a house to be built, and I'm looking for guidance on the strategy for my existing house/mortgage. First off, the existing house is on the edge of family land, so do not intend to sell it. I owe $155k on a $185k loan with appraisal of $250k from 2015. I exp...

Not sure. This is year three for me. I didn't start until 2/1 in my first year. Mid January is a normal start with 1/4lb per trap from good farms. The labor arrives in the first two weeks of January and starts setting out traps....

re: January Duck Survey

Posted by flamot1 on 1/18/20 at 9:52 pm
Predators are a problem. I've had to replace them every year, but I think this year's bird may make it. They haven't picked up the habit of roosting on the levee. $10/ea shipped to my door, and I buy 10 each year. Raising these ducklings has really given me an appreciation of how much food ducks...

re: January Duck Survey

I've spent the last ten years managing my family farm for duck hunting, and have been able to increase my personal annual harvest numbers from 300 in 2014 to just over 500 birds this year on 44ish hunts/year. Four years ago, we released Rouen ducks on our 12 acre swimming pond, and that year we had...
The Browning Gold will struggle with 3.5" as the spring fatigues. Replacing the spring only costs $15 from Midwest Gun Works and can be done with only a deep socket and a phillips screwdriver. The hardest part is getting the new spring in the tube, and the only trick to keep in mind is to make sur...
