Morning Folks!

Grab bars all over the bathroom. Chair height commode. Wheelchair / walker ramp. Sitters often work for a company. They are not too dependable, so you will go thru quite a few. You’ll likely not be taking extended trips without being called several times per day. No access to any kind of valuables (money, jewelry, silverware) when a sitter is in the house. You are very lucky to have the studio apartment. You need to be sure there is a hand shower (on a hose). Be sure there is place can get warm enough…elderly get cold very quickly Seek help with batihing from home health sooner rather than later..
MIL lived with us for over 9 years. I did add taller toilets, grab rails, built a ramp.
I also added a separate wall heater in the bathroom.

I did sell a house, I had a gun safe, I didn’t like how low it sat on the floor, so I built a base to bring it up. Screwed into the studs, would take a bunch to remove. The realtor called and asked if the safe stayed, the buyer was Ex-military, I gave him the safe with the house.

I’ve built a number of new homes and flipped a bunch more.
People see the H&G station, thinking they can do the same. I can walk into a home and tell if the previous owner did the job.

A friend of mine had some nice exterior ceilings fans. Didn’t want them to go with the house. Before listing the home, removed those, installed the more less expensive fans.

Don’t anyone sleep on the defense, we led the SEC in INT’s, with 17 total for the year. Baker is going to always put pressure on the QB’s, having them make the mistakes.
He might gamble a little more, knowing the offense can put up the points.

Bert Jones was on Jordy Hultberg this morning. I could have listened to that interview all day. He is such an interesting person to listen to. He talked about his early childhood how he was better as a baseball player. Won state championship at Ruston high as a freshman then he quit to focus on football and track.
The two most interesting former LSU players I’ve talked with, Bert and Billy Cannon.
Cannon walked into Hooters one night, Lee Brecheen was having an awards ceremony for state High School players. Cannon walks in, sees my two cousins, asked if he could sit with us. Cannon could have been a comedian. The guy got a million stories. All way too funny.
I was asked, by my company, to help head up The United Way campaign years ago. Another Tiger, Jerry Stovall, was asked to oversee it for that year. He too was a good Tiger representing LSU and the State.

Should have been operational by Memorial Day when they were having a big concert. But the concert got canceled.
If you look at the center light poles on the east and west side, you’re gonna see a big round structure on top of the lights that’s what’s pumping out the Signal.

Over the years I’ve helped Bert with his golf and tennis tournaments to support Cystic Fibrosis.
Over the years, he’s donated a number of College and NFL items for auction. He’s had so many former LSU and NFL players come into town to help.
Cystic Fibrosis runs in Bert’s family.
Congratulations on the Jersey retirement.
“ Belichick's first NFL job was as a special assistant for the 1975 Colts. In 2016, Belichick was asked if he could have any quarterback in history lead his team other than Tom Brady, who would it be?
"I would put Bert Jones up there," Belichick said on WEEl's "Dale & Holley," via NESN. "I absolutely would put Bert Jones up there."
That's high praise from the greatest coach in NFL history.
"Bert Jones was a tremendous player," Belichick continued. "A tremendous player. Very athletic. He had an arm like no other, really. I've never seen a player with the kind of flexibility he had in his arm.
The kind of whip and accuracy. He had a quick delivery. He was a tremendous quarterback in an era that was a little bit different. But if he played today and was healthy, [we'd all say], 'This guy's really good.'

Should be able to watch on your phone with the upgraded cell service in stadium…
My cousin was involved in getting this setup.
I’d call A Car Automotive
(225) 925-9174
You can ask him if he wants to handle it.
One of the few in BTR, I’d trust.
To start, Pull the plugs, Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders.

what about Faneca
What some might not know:
Faneca began having seizures, which were later diagnosed as epilepsy, at age 15. He started on medication to control it and was
able to continue playing football.

Mega dealers will require you to drop off the vehicle before they're "allowed" to order the $35 part, turning a 4 hour repair into a 3 day affair.
I’ve had 4 Toyotas, with a total of 630,000 miles. I had one recall, I told the guy at the dealership, let me know when they make the recall. He did, took a few hours.
The second recall, I went in for an oil change, he told me about the recall, it was done at the same time.

had Entergy for years
My Dad ran the local power company before Entergy, GSU. In the early 80’s they had rolling blackouts. I told him, if he ever blacked out my subdivision, he wouldn’t be able to see his grandkids. Then he tells me, my subdivision is not on the list.
I bought a new home one time, the phone company said it would be months before I could get a line. Dad called the head of the phone company told him he was fixing to lose power, an when I got a phone line, he’d get his power back. I had a phone line the next morning.

The OL coach at aTm doesn’t have anything close to the SEC and NFL coaching experience, of LSU’s two .
