It never fails that when i'm on a jobsite, I end up downwind of a honeywagon emptying the shitters.

re: A/C Replacement Advice Needed
Posted by John Wayne on 5/5/25 at 11:58 am
I'm having to replace my entire system as well. Compressor in CU is going out and have had a leak in the ACU for some time. My guy has been keeping it limping along for a few years but this morning said it's time to put her down.
I'm waiting on a quote to come in for the swap out. He did tell me that they're having a hard time finding the 454B refrigerant so he's going to quote me an R-32 system.
I'll report back with my quotes.

If you want one in Denham, go to Brothers. Ask for Twin.

I don't think current Cannon Law allows for that anymore. Quick search says since 1917 they have been required to be a priest. Wouldn't mind if that changed.
The only thing that changed is the requirement that they receive ordination to the priesthood prior to assuming the papacy. This can happen immediately after they are elected if they accept.

Technically, any baptized Catholic male can be elected to the papacy.
Could be someone from this board. :lol:
re: Drinking water from a dehumidifier: Yes or No?
Posted by John Wayne on 2/3/25 at 5:10 pm
This reminds me of something that i've always wanted to do.
Set up a humidifier and a dehumidifier next to each other and let them battle it out.

What brought about the late change to appearance though? They went awhile without to suddenly only start doing it not too long before the show. I get they say faith, but the timing is a bit suspicious.
They all grew beards for hunting season and would shave them in the summer. Eventually they decided to keep them year round because that's how people came to know them.
I've heard them talk about it numerous times on their Unashamed podcast. They even mention people using their beach pictures to call them out as posers.

Full Rut Meat Shoppe in Waller makes excellent burritos. My second favorite is Bergerons in Port Allen.

my very good and experienced mechanic says Toyota, and avoid Nissan
Odd...my very good and experienced mechanic says they're both what and what but gives the edge to the Nissan V6 not relying on turbo.
Again, i've owned both. Don't really care what anyone drives. Just giving my 2 cents.
re: Need Input - Tacoma vs Frontier

I've owned Toyotas and love them.
However, I recently bought a '24 Nissan Frontier and couldn't be happier especially given the price. I like the fact that it's a little simpler and basic on the interior but still has all the bells and whistles of the new trucks. Also, it's the last of the mid-size trucks to have a V6. Some will say that doesn't really mean much given the output of the turbo 4 cyls, but I like the fact that there's no turbo's to crap out. Again, I like simple.
I've had it since April and it's been great on gas and has a pretty good ride albeit a little stiff. My only real complaint is that the steering is a little "heavy" and it doesn't have the best turning radius for a mid-size truck.
Not trying to convince you either way. Just offering my experience after 6 mos. in the Frontier.
I honestly don't think you could go wrong either way.

There's your problem, right there. Find a local dentist, ASAP.
I was in a bind several years ago on Black Friday when they were the only place open.
Without going into all of the detail, they ended up costing me thousands of dollars in dental work years later that could've been avoided.

re: And the travel ball cliche kicks it up a notch...

Here’s one that’ll piss off a lot of folks around here
My organization has been around awhile. Year after year we add more teams in all ages that aren’t very talented but want to “play travel ball” for “this team”. Parents gladly pay the fees. They get to tell their friends their son(s) now play travel baseball for this great organization.
All those fees cover coaches pay and 3 teams fees for the entire year
Why would that piss off anyone? It's pretty obvious that some organizations have shitty teams that are only in place to make money.
If the parents are stupid enough to still sign up for it, then that's on them. It gets tricky when the parents that are stupid enough to part with their money just so Blayzen can be on a travel team start bitching because their teams sucks. Just because you pay $$$$ for Blayzen to play doesn't mean he's going to win.
That being said, I do have more respect for organizations that stick to fewer, more quality teams.
