re: Need a new weedeater
Posted by Stexas on 4/29/25 at 2:07 pm
I maintain about an acre and a half with a 250' ditch and several really large oaks. I got a Kobalt 80v battery trimmer for Christmas and have used it about 3 months now and have been extremely pleased. The last time I used it I forgot to put it on the charger and I was still able to use it for about 20 after using it for nearly an hour the previous week. It's relatively lightweight and very powerful. Before that I used a Stihl Kombi trimmer/edger/blower combo for about 10 years with solid results. It still runs by the way it could use a carb rebuild and a new string trimmer attachment.

re: Spray foam attic insulation vs regular blown in cellulose (loose) insulation?
Posted by Stexas on 4/29/25 at 1:20 pm
My house was built in the early sixties and I had my roof deck spray foamed about 10 years ago. It has been a learning experience but I’m still happy with the results. We had it done instead of new ductwork and replacing existing fiberglass batts. Few things to consider. The permanent seal highlights the amount of moisture in the house due to the reduced amount the A/C will run. To combat this we upgraded the system to a 16sear multistage unit with an additional dehumidifier. It was time to replace anyway but it allowed us to downsize a step. The point about wiring or doing work in the attic is also a good point but only relevant if you intend to do that sort of work.

How many of these projects actually get built and start running and hiring people though.
Go drive the coast and see… most of the ones in LC that were announced were built. The methanex carbon capture thing is the only one I can think of that didn’t happen. It did get a good chunk of funding that was spent on site work however.

I used Kubotas and bobcats exclusively for years for work because they were what we had. They’re tanks and can put up with job site abuse. It’s funny how now they feel like they’re light years behind can am and Polaris from a feature and comfort perspective. The drive train and mechanics of the Kubotas and bobcats are bullet proof but the ride is terrible comparatively.

re: You might not ever think about the American shrimpers.
Posted by Stexas on 4/5/25 at 9:52 am
My grandfather and uncles were shrimpers. At one time they had 5 95’ to 115’ boats between them and shrimped from Alabama to the bay of Campeche. In the late 80s and early 90s they all saw the writing on the wall and conceded to the war on their way of life and sold off the boats and moved on. My dad was new construction VP for several shipyards that built shrimp boats and oil supply vessels and was able to hang on to the industry longer because of the O&G part. The last shrimp boat he was in charge of building was in 1997, and it was sent immediately to South America where it was subsequently seized by the Brazilian government. Shrimping at a local level just isn’t sustainable and hasn’t been for 30 or 40 years. TEDS, taxes, and you name it all from our government put and end to it.

I had heard Lyondell was trying to sell the Westlake that Sasol built and sold them…
Editing because even I can’t read whatever the frick this says…
I had heard that lyondell was trying to sell the new ethylene site in Westlake, LA they had bought from Sasol. Maybe Westlake Chemical is interested in that?
