Train horns in the background, niceee


The train horn in the video is awesome. Reminds me of a game many years ago when LSU was showing no mercy and whipping South Carolina. As soon as we scored another TD the train blew its horn. The guy behind us heard it, stood up and yelled, "Uh Oh! There goes the whippin bell!" Our section cracked up laughing. LOL
My MIL passed away suddendly, earlier this year. It was a big shock to our family and this will be the first Thanksgiving without her. It will be just my wife, me, FIL and BIL for dinner at my inlaw's home. My MIL was actually a really good lady and she and I got along well. Holidays at her home ran, understandbly, under her rules since it was in her home and required traditions that couldn't be altered. The quirkiest rule she had was she would let us have the Thanksgiving football games on TV but she wanted the sound off, all day, whether we were eating or not. So, for the past 33 years I've been part of the family, we read the closed captions to know what the play by play announcers were saying. It got interesting to figure out what was going on after controversial calls. LOL Now that she's gone, my wife decided to break some of her mom's traditions. This year we'll have turkey & sausage gumbo I made and we'll forgo all the other foods, rolls and multiple desserts that were required for previous Thanksgiving dinners. We'll also have just one pecan pie and... drumroll... we'll turn the sound on for all the Thanksgiving football games to begin a new tradition. Happy Thanksgiving.
Don't be surprised if the next offer from LSU or the Governor will be to send Kelly 1,000 or so Powerball tickets hoping he'll win the jackpot and they'll be off the hook. But if Kelly hits the jackoot he'll probably still want what LSU owes under the contract. LOL
Stick us fork in the Tigers. They're done...

Although people got hurt doing it was probably a PETA petition that brought an end to the demeaning abuse the donkeys endured when people rode them. There's probably an attorney out there who will file suit for you if you believe you still suffer from grief from having witnessed that animal abuse when you were a child. Call an attorney now and get it done!

Second Happiest Day for a Boat Owner

Posted by Catahoula on 5/22/25 at 8:12 pm
After 15 years of boat ownership I reached the second happiest day after selling my boat today. It was a fun 15 years but time to let it go since I'm getting older and don't use it as much. I have no regrets, just a lot of great memories from it while fishing and riding with some of our dogs and friends who have passed. I kept it in great condition so the new owner got a good boat. I hope he enjoys it!

I've dug lots of Civil War artifacts that are very cool. But the most mind blowing finds I dug were silver medieval hammered coins last year in England. They ranged in age from 600 to 800 years. Also found a Saxon pin head that was between 1,000 to 1,600 years old.

re: Best grill

Posted by Catahoula on 3/5/25 at 9:54 pm to
Several people made good points about the fact that depending on what type of grilling you want to do, the answer will vary. There are some amazing products to choose from and tons of videos on YouTube about each grill.

My wife (no pics) gave me the Pit Boss Lexington pellet grill from Walmart for Chrismas. I know, pellet grills aren't sexy like the fancier grills and some people call it an Easy Bake Oven. But I'll tell you, I'm turning out some really tasty food from it. For anyone considering a pellet grill just know there is a bit of a learning experience. But it doesn't take long to learn about it. I will say that it doesn't pump out the smoke like propane or wood grills do. But it does put out a cleaner smoke that does flavor the meat or poultry. You can add a smoke tube for more smoke if you want and that works well. But the convenience of setting the thermostat and not having to watch over fluctuating temps is wonderful. If you want to get fancier with other grills then definitely go for it. But for around $400 the Lexington Pit Boss pellet grill works great for me. I recommend getting the grill cover to protect it outside. My other suggestion for anyone who has a pellet grill is to spend time finding a good quality pellet product. Not all pellet products are the same and some use filler and flavoring products. Bear Mountain makes good pellet products. I'm also really liking the Lumberjack 100% hickory pellets. Academy Sports carries both brands that are very affordable.
The Walmarts on Burbank and the other on College Dr. will have them. See the guy/lady that checks receipts at the door.

You'll pay it if you need it.
