What a strike!

I've been to a lot of boys games this year, mostly Div 1.

I've seen just about all of the top seeds in Div 1, except for #2 Brother Martin, #6 Catholic High, and #7 West Monroe.

I don't think anyone will beat #1 Jesuit, except for maybe #3 Denham Springs. I watched these two teams play in the Lafayette Copa tournament where Jesuit won 2-1. I think Denham has the firepower to score on them, but Jesuit looked liked the better team top to bottom.

I'm predicting Jesuit vs Baton Rouge and Denham vs Brother Martin in the semis, with Jesuit beating Denham in the finals.

Also, on a side note ....

I've never been the SLU stadium where they hold the finals every year, but I think the finals should be a Moore Park in Lafayette. The showcase field over there is awesome. I don't know if the SLU field has football lines, but I would much prefer to watch a soccer game on a field without them.

How long does the OT usually keep a vehicle?

---

As long as I feel comfortable driving it.

My previous vehicle was a 2014 GMC Acadia. 155,000 thousand miles.

Last year, I had to replace the starter and a few other things: $1600. Also last year, the engine overheated and left me stranded on Airline Highway in Prairieville. Luckily, that repair was only about $300.

Two weeks ago, the engine overheated again and left me stranded on Siegen Lane. I managed to drive it to the Honda dealership on Seigen, and bought a new Passport on the spot.

Moral of the story: I would have kept the GMC, but I just did not trust it any more.

Dumbest coaching call i've seen in a while

The hardest thing is getting clients.

This is the key.

I'm self employed and I am lucky enough to have 3-4 clients that have kept me almost 100% billable for 7 years.

I keep a rainy day fund to cover about 6 months of no income.

The things I like best about being self employed:
- No boss
- No performance review
- No HR
- Tax write-offs
- Obviously flex hours.

I actually work harder / more hours since I've been self employed. I want to keep my clients happy and have them keep feeding me work,

I use a Taylor K-2006C kit and use the trouble free pool’s “Pool Math” app. It’s stupid easy.

Same here. Taylor test kit. Plug the numbers in ChatGPT.

I'm self employed. Plenty of billable work. Will be working whenever I can this week.

It was even worse before the Camilla bridge was built.
