re: Nastiest thing you've ever seen or heard of.

not as bad as some of the stories, but growing up we had a camp on the atchafalaya river. There was a fish market next to the boat launch we used. At the end of the day the fish market would have an old truck bed filled with fish guts that would be dumped in the river. On any given hot summer day that trailer was not the best smelling thing in the world.

re: Son wants a used aluminum boat

I have a 16 ft with a tiller handle, i use as a beater. 40hp yamaha 4 stroke. ITs still carbed so not much to work on. finding a beater will teach him how to work on it and fix it, but will give some rough patches out on the water.
i helped my son buy a 14/42 with a 2 stroke Yamaha 25. It is about as basic as you can get. the boat has a title, but the trailer did not. I am working on getting the trailer legal right now. The boat had no floor and no wiring. We are currently adding lights and a bilge pump and a aluminum floor. We rewired the trailer for taillights. The bottom had a decent dent, so we fixed that yesterday. The engine is an older 2 stroke Yamaha, but it is a single carb 2 stroke with literally 5 wires.
Hopefully we will have it going soon so he can hit the water. I am looking too to get libality insurance on it through progressive.

at least he was honest.
I am in Raleigh and was going to mention eastern crawfish. I am a cook for the LSU Alumni Raleigh chapter. We typically either have crawfish driven up from Louisiana for fly them on Southwest for our annual boil. We have tried sourcing from local places but no one can produce 600 lbs in a day or two for a large boil. I am not familiar that what South Carolina has to offer, but you can find them here but they are expensive. Good luck if you decide to do it.

same in the Raleigh greater area. They all have Tesla's and cannot drive worth a damn. They have taken over some new development neighborhoods and don't keep up $800k + homes.
would you buy a 2025 sliverado 5.3 right now?
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 7/1/25 at 9:19 am
i will need a truck by the end of the year, giving mine to my son in december. GM seems to have some decent prices on the LT/LTZ's with the 5.3. Are they as bad as everyone makes them seem like right now. MY wife has a 22 tahoe Z71 with the 5.3 that has been great so far.
I considered the tundra but man the new ones have a horrible resale and im not sold on a turbo yet. Ive had a few ford's with the 5.0 in the past few years that were trouble free as well.

Ive had decent luck with fishbooker.com in St Augustine area. just look at their reviews and client pictures.

explain it to me like a am a 5 years old. I have built up a decent emergency fund and i have it in a Capitol one account earning 3.6%. I do have a Fidelity FOD account i fund weekly for my mortgage that does earn some interest as well. I have Fidelity VUG EFT that has done great. Can I invest in it and pull it when i need with no penalty?
all the low weight oil is for increased gas mileage. What does it save/gain .02 MPG?? Ive been running 5w30 in my 5.3 since new and a delco filter and so far so good.

I used it this year for this first time and will use it next year. I had to pay a little to file NC state taxes and i did buy the audit support. Even paying for that was half of what H&R block was using. I was able to import all of my data from H&R Block.

Been a Ford truck man all my life UNTIL I bought a new 2019 Lariat with the 5.0. Loved the truck. Best ride of any vehicle I’ve owned BUT the 10 speed transmission was a nightmare. Would give you a jolt like you’ve been rear ended. Brought to dealership and they reset adaptive learning on the computer. That didn’t fix the problem. Said they wanted to go into it. I decided to bail on it and traded it in on a Highlander. Didn’t want vehicle with transmission issues all over the Carfax. Ruined me on my opinion of Ford.
i had a similar experience with a 19' lariat. Had it serviced, then it started overheating and puking fluid. Would shift so hard you thought it dropped the dive shaft. I was afraid it was going to leave me on the side of the road. As much as I hate to admit, I traded it in on a Tacoma.

New W4 and 2024 Taxes
Posted by lsuCJ5 on 1/30/25 at 9:13 am
Anyone start their tax returns for 2024? Am i the only one who thinks the W4 is more complicated than ever? For the first time in my life, it seems that I will owe taxes. In the past I always paid in more received a refund. I know the goal is to breakeven but owing money will suck. How many people are going to owe tons more than I am is concerning.
