re: Chevrolet 2500HD Tire Pressure?
Posted by tigerfanatic61 on 10/8/25 at 8:25 am to RetiredSaintsLsuFan
Running 55-60 in all 4 tires without a load. Right above the light coming on. Airing up to door jamb recommendations for towing.
Love the truck and air pressure might help the ride slightly but overall - coming from a 1/2 ton truck - it rides rough unloaded. Very smooth under load.

re: Lake McDonald or Bowman Lake

Bowman Lake
Lake McDonald
Lake McDonald is far more accessible. Both are beautiful - just depends what you are looking for! Regardless - Headed up to Pole Bridge is a must! Very interesting road from there to Bowman!
Enjoy - this place is magical!
re: Bourbon Trail Input

Buffalo Trace & Makers Mark were my wife & I's favorite. Just loved the location / scenery of the more "off the beaten path" distilleries. Honestly, from a bourbon lover... after 3-4, they are all the same as far as processes & bourbon - you are enjoying the grounds and experience.
Don't discount an afternoon with a tour, bourbon & sitting at Churchill Downs for a couple small races if scheduling works out. Went for bourbon trail and this may have been our favorite part!

Lasfit.
Super easy DIY, affordable & designed vehicle specific fit - eliminating throwing light everywhere (to the best of design abilities).
Low Beam, High Beam & reverse lights were a game changer on a Silverado

Be personable, not just push business on them. Build a relationship with the decision maker or even better, as many as you can with the staff.

Great place. Book via Groupon. May not get your room choice but it makes it much cheaper.
Kids love it. They have become experts at extracting money for everything though.

Fought my wife on it for a long time but currently pay $120 bi weekly. We keep house pretty clean and picked up as is but I no longer have to mop, dust, clean toilets/sinks, etc.
Its the best money I've ever spent! Weekends are free and wife is happy!

re: How do people wear cowboy boots?

Valid rebuttal!
At least I haven’t moved onto onclouds and hey dudes. Only minimal hate but definitely has the white community by chokehold!

Wore cowboy boots for 5+ years exclusively…. Can’t be a a p***y all your life!
Long story short- Moved onto regular shoes and I’m not sure how I did it!

re: Doug Young Wholesale Nursery (Forest Hill) Pics and experience
Posted by tigerfanatic61 on 10/24/22 at 8:14 am to RaginCajunz
For anyone willing and able to DIY landscaping in Louisiana- Forest Hill is the best hack! Beautiful, affordable plants & they’ll even help you chose.
Most landscaping companies will double/triple & in some cases quadruple these prices for the plants and really any material. That’s before labor.

It’s a joke. Just call, you’ll get it.

re: Golf Cart Owners: Upgrading Controller w/o Upgrading Motor

Dawg linked it above.
I can't speak to Yamaha but I did a complete 36 to 48v conversion on my TXT. Batteries, controller, solenoid, cables etc.
Still running the stock motor and getting 20+ mph with no lift.
Shoot Scotty an email at cartsunlimited. He knows his stuff and hands down has the best customer service / technical knowledge out of anyone I spoke too - even if he website looks likes its right out of the 90's.

re: We are led by idiots. Dems introduce bill to tax oil companies and send quarterly checks
Posted by tigerfanatic61 on 3/11/22 at 3:26 pm to anc
While I do not support this...
Would this low key accidently bring "support" of domestic production from among the general population. Considering once you start sending Americans checks for nothing they will not want them to stop and furthermore would have an interest in having them increase...?
Just provoking thought here - again I do NOT support.

re: Multiple Savings Accounts?
Posted by tigerfanatic61 on 3/9/22 at 3:11 pm to Fat Bastard
May be overkill for most but financial setups are not one size fits all.
I'm answering the OP question/ making suggestions rather than bashing his approach. With 60%+ of Americans living check to check any sort of money management/categorizing is doing better than most.
"Managing" 6 is easier for my wife and I than 1 because all the money has a place to go instead of "oh look, the checking account has $1,000" so I go spend $300 on groceries only to realize that $800 in bills were coming up and I only really "have" $200.
Sounds irresponsible/ ridiculous for someone fiscally responsible but its reality for the vast majority of people.
Thanks for you input and laughs.

re: Multiple Savings Accounts?
Posted by tigerfanatic61 on 3/9/22 at 10:38 am to footballdude
Universally spectacular advice above. I also carry 6+ accts (Bills, Vacation, Mortgage, Savings, Spending, kids high school fund *in case we switch from public to private* etc.) All titled as such.
I have a budget on a spreadsheet that calculates how much needs to stay in bills, bills get paid, and every dollar after that gets a weekly transfer accordingly. We only "freely spend" out of our spending acct.
Another benefit doing it weekly is that I get a couple extra weekly transfers in a year vs monthly transfers. For example - I have an extra months of mortgage in mortgage acct at the end of the year and that what I use for Christmas.
Can break this down by acct any way you want. Hell can even give the wife her own "spending acct" to help her reign it in.
Good luck and God Speed!
