“Insurance companies don’t want to insure a 15 yr or older roof.”
State Farm made us replace ours at 25 yrs.That was in 2024,I wonder if that’s still their policy or if they’ve changed to 15 years.

Loading or unloading my tractor onto the trailer caused the rear end of my Tacoma to lift up almost off the ground.
After first time I put a jack stand under the rear of the trailer to stop it from doing that.
I’m sure when he loaded the Yukon onto the trailer the rear end of his truck was lifted off the ground same as when he unloaded it.
Too bad he didn’t have enough sense to realize he needed to put something under the rear of the trailer to prevent that.

I’ve never eaten a Big Mac in my life.Might have eaten a Quarter Pounder once.
I always liked the Fish Sandwiches,I still get one about once a year.I’m pretty sure they’re a lot smaller than they used to be.

“The choices and variety are bewildering “
That’s the truth,it’s crazy.When I was a kid there was only Crest,Colgate.Pepsodent and Gleam.
Now there’s probably 50 varieties of Crest.I buy Crest but it gives me a headache trying to figure out which one.

re: Ancestors that fought in the Civil War?
Posted by LSUA 75 on 10/2/26 at 10:53 am to BluegrassCardinal
My paternal great great grandfather lived in Missouri,was a Bushwacker in the Frank and Jesse James gang.
After the war he settled down into farming outside Joplin.
My grandfather said Frank James stopped in to visit a couple of times,spent the night once.
Apparenty he was a badass.My grandfather said he went to town with him to get supplies when he was 6-7.He got in a fight with another man .Got him down in the street on his stomach,had one hand under his chin other hand back of his head,twisted his head until he broke his neck.Man died,of course.
Town Marshall came,questioned all the witnesses,they said it was a fair fight so that was that.
They went on home with their supplies.
On my maternal side her grandfather had an uncle that lost a leg,had a wooden leg.He died,her grandfather ended up with the wooden leg.
He would get the wooden leg out to scare her and a cousin occasionally.They would be playing in the yard,her grandfather would prop the wooden leg up on the front door.They would scream for their grandmother,she would put the wooden leg away so they could come in the house.

“PREP Act”
The Pfizer papers,(that the FDA wanted withheld for 75 years)revealed that Pfizer (and the FDA) knew three months after release of the shot that the Covid shot would not prevent infections or stop transmission of the virus.
After 4 months they knew the Covid shot was causing heart damage(primarily in young men).
It was also proven that the shots had DNA contamination that Pfizer vehemently denied.They knew or should have known that the shots were contaminated.
I’m curious if the PREP Act will protect them since there was obvious fraud on their (and FDA) part.
I would think it wouldn’t but I,have no legal background.

“hounds are my biggest weakness”
Me too.I had Beagles for quite a few years.Currently have a female Redbone housedog.She,was surprisingly easy to housebreak,never chewed up anything.Not bad about getting in the garbage.
Anyone drives down our driveway she barks,would wake the dead.
We had a black Lab for 14 years.First 2 years he was destructive as hell.After that he was a great dog.

“Clothes pin”
That’s what I do,way much faster than twisting and untwisting the wire ties.

I agree with this,wholeheartedly.
Awhile back I looked up the ratio of flag officers today vs.WW2.
It was 1/1400,WW2 it was 1/6000.
Flag officers today have more ribbons/medals on their chest than Eisenhower,Patton,Bradley,Nimitz,Halsey combined.
Every Navy Officer 04 and above have Expert Rifleman and Expert Pistol medals.I’l never believe their targets were scored,they just shot the required number of rounds and were handed the medals.

WMT-I’m about $400,000 ahead but I ‘ve had it a long time.

“Where are you located?”
I’m starting to think the OP decided to keep it.I would’ve if he had wandered up to my house.
I would’ve been interested in going to get him except I already have 2 dogs.

“if you have any bear the Pig Brig is not for you”
No bears on my property,at least not yet.
A guy I know lives and hunts in Montgomery area they have a resident bear
on their club,not far from me.
They have a hog problem and can’t trap them because the bear eats their bait as fast as they put it out.
He’s shown me pictures of the bear,I suggested maybe mistake it for a pig and eliminate it.
He’s convinced all the bears have chips and are being monitored by satellites.

Does anyone have or know anyone with the Pig Brig trap.I’ve done a lot of watching videos and reading about them,seems to work well.
I already have the Boar Buster trap.I had several catches with it in 2019,my largest was 22.The hogs left for several years but recently came back.I caught 10 in it last night.
It works well but it’s a PIA to move.The camera is large,wire runs to a large box with a trolling motor battery and a bunch of wires And then there is a 4x6 solar panel.Had to get a long range antenna mounted on a 20 foot pole to get a reliable signal certain parts of my property.
They now have a much smaller camera with a lithium battery and smaller solar panel,wish I had that now.
The Pig Brig doesn’t use a camera to activate it so I could use it in wooded areas where a solar panel and cell camera probably wouldn’t work.

My grandfather Fontenot from Crowley was in WW1 but I think he had it relatively easy.
He was fluent in French,posed as a civilian living with a French family.According to my mother it was something to do with investigating black market activities.
He died when I was 12,he never really explained to me exactly what he did.
One visit,he lived in B.R.,he got out a bullet wrapped in a handkerchief from a dresser drawer that was removed from his knee,showed me the scar where he was shot.Also showed me his Purple Heart.He didn’t explain the circustances of when he was shot.
My mother said he exchanged Christmas Cards with the French family for years that he had lived with.
The main things he always talked about was all the duck,squirrel,quail and dove hunting he had done in his younger days.

Caught 10 in my trap last night.2 large sows,5 small sows about 50 lbs,3 small boars also about 50 lbs.
I was glad to catch that many females,the way they reproduce.
First hogs I’ve had since 2019.I was overrun with them about 5 years,shot and trapped a good many and they all left.
I was hoping I wasn’t going to be bothered with them again.

“do it right after the first cold night”
This is the way,wait until it starts being chilly at night.The sap starts going to the roots and will carry the herbicide.
I cut several down with my chainsaw and sprayed Tordon on the stump in the middle of the summer.It killed the stump just fine but about a dozen sprouted back up from each stump.
I really had a bunch to deal with then.
