Posted by Murtown on 7/11/26 at 10:48 am
Anyone use this paid app? Is it worth it? Looking for good tide charts/wave intervals etc. Any other app suggestions?

No audio installed when I bought my boat and went with two turtleboxes instead. Have one that I connect to a Ram mount at the bow (facing back) and one under the back platform (facing forward).
What kind of mounts? Where did you get them? Pics of set up?
Kentucky Bourbon Trail
Posted by Murtown on 6/27/26 at 12:46 pm
Me and the wife and another couple are heading to Kentucky for the LSU game in October. Leave on Wednesday morning. Looking for tips and must do's or don'ts on the Kentucky Bourbon trail. Probably staying in Lexington, but haven't really thought about it.
That is a cool site. Some seem scammy though. Almost every one I clicked on was left handed. Lots of bait and switch on the link descriptions too.

I am looking for a Ruger Ranch Gen II 300 blackout. I have seen a few on gunbroker, but looking to spend a little less than that. Anybody seen any deals? It seems pretty limited to me as it's a fairly new gun.

re: RIP David Allan Coe

I saw him at the Texas club 10 or 15 years ago. Probably the last time he was there. I was in my early or mid 20's so of course I got piss drunk. I don't remember much of it. Wish I did. I do remember them helping him on and off the stage and thinking shite he is going to die any day. He held on for way longer than I thought he would.
I had somebody tell me before I went that he would not play with the air conditioning on. Sure enough when he came out there they turned the AC off. It got hot as shite in there.

Thank you all for the info.
They run regularly enough though that there’s no risk of getting hung out to dry with tight schedules?
re: MSY Parking Question

Yes, parking is terrible and you need to be there three hours early.
Going to DC next week. Trying to plan some running around on the metro, but it does not seem to let you book anything in advance. Am I missing something or does it just not let you do that?
When I use the trip planner function it shows hey here is one you can use, but it doesn't let you book it. It seems like they have enough running that it shouldn't be a problem getting anywhere. Seems like from Arlington cemetery to downtown they are running at least every fifteen minutes.
Am I wrong?

Worse than you can possibly imagine.

A word of caution OR advice. Build whatever size electrical service you think you may need BUT call it storage space on permit application and install one GFCI outlet and one switched light fixture. When you get an occupancy permit and the inspector is finished load that bastard down with lights and outlets and all manner of shite. If you wire it like you want it ahead of time the inspector is liable to come up with all manner of shite that ain't necessary. I have done this with shops that had 800 amp services in them....and never had an inspector ask why. They know why.
Amite county, Mississippi. Zero permits and zero inspections required.

I hope to get a 2 post lift. I am making sure the foundation and everything supports that
Interesting, what would I need to be anchoring to the floor with a chain? I am thinking I want to put some kind of movable chain fall system in.

Building a new 40x60 insulated shop with an additional 15x60 drop shed off the side. If you could do it again what do you wish you would have built into your shop?

That is literal robbery. I just built a 2 acre pond maybe a little bigger. Paid $375 for 5 tons of lime spread by the co-op.
As an update, I got a sack from Pinchers. Pretty disappointed in the size. Won't be back.
