re: AC - Rat keeps chewing wiring

Posted by Slickback on 5/6/25 at 7:34 am
I’ve been battling them at my house. They’re feasting between my chicken coop, cow barn, and barn. I’ve used the Victor plastic traps, the electric trap, and old school traps but they smarten up to all of them eventually. Haven’t used poison because the dogs, chickens, and goats eat every damn thing.

I started sneaking out at dusk and shooting them, and got a ratinator trap and I finally think I’ve finished most of them off.

re: Why is boat storage so expensive??

Supply and demand + real estate costs + building costs + insurance costs
My favorite BJS story is when he wrote a bunch of songs for Waylon Jennings, but Waylon kept blowing him off. He followed him around trying to give him a demo tape for him to listen. He finally cornered him one night, grabbed him by the neck, pushed him up against a wall, stuck the tape in his pocket and said “you’re going to listen to this fricking tape and record these songs.”

It turned out to be the entire Honky Tonk Heroes album.
I’ve got a 24 GMC with a 5.3 that’s in the shop for the 4th time.

Traded in an 18 Chevy with a 5.3 with 160k miles on it whose only maintenance was oil changes and tires.


Kicking myself over that. I’m not taking it home with me when the repairs are done this time.
But it’s the greedy insurance companies causing the crazy rates in Louisiana.

Nice gun. Take it out to Roaming Shot in Slaughter and stretch it out to 1000 yards.

First off, congrats…that’s badass.

Can you hire another engineer to do what you’re doing and expand it? You can run it like a side hustle but scale it up.

It was incredible when it first opened, then went to shite, was closed, and was pretty good when it re-opened. I hear it’s feast or famine now.

It’s very deep and not my favorite style of fishing so it’s been a few years since I’ve been.
They’re responsible for it and should fix it. But if they balk at the price, you could sue. I don’t know that I’d sue or file a liability claim against them myself for a number that low, but that’s always an option.

Other option would be to ask them to find someone to get a quote for the repair if they think yours is too high.

Yes. Quoted me $35/yard + $100 for delivery.
I’m surprised he does so many commercials. Acting doesn’t seem like something that fits his personality. Especially since he already has generational wealth and a legacy.

Kubota and Deere are going to be slightly better machines, but Mahindra is a great bang for your buck in that size.


Red Dirt Tractors in Alexandria has great prices on Mahindras. You can get a 25hp 4WD with front end loader for under $20k.

They quoted me $100 delivery charge in ascension parish. Thought that was a good price. I think the full dirt was $35/yard.

Insurance on a utility trailer? I’ve never heard of this


No need to worry about it in Louisiana. Your liability extends from whatever vehicle is pulling it. If you want physical damage on it, you can add a policy, but not needed for liability.

Everyone was talking about how great their sound was all weekend. Not sure if they got a new sound guy or the festival had one, but all reports sound like their sound was crisp and they were finally clicking as a band again.

This album is definitely badass…as all their others are.
I saw my first sika this year too. Made a good skull mount and ate good.

The patchwork is step one. Not sure when they’ll get to the rest.
Congrats baw. That’s a hoss! Wish I knew how to post pics still. I got a couple bangers on cam too.
All leads have low success rate. Get good at asking for referrals.
