re: Anyone here an amateur / competitive boxer?

Posted by Yammie250F on 11/3/25 at 1:24 pm to FrancisCostello

A guy in my unit was a boxer and always begging people to spar with him. Was bored one day and did it. Have zero experience in boxing. Rules were I could hit him head and body but he would only hit me with body shots. I learned two things very quickly. It was nearly impossible for me to land a hit, he either blocked or dodged them. Body shots hurt way more than I ever thought. Didn't even have enough time to get tired like some here are saying. I was done after about a minute. :lol:

Saw them at the Hammond air show a few weekends back. Lots of people doing rides. Don't know if it was the same company but they also had a Korean era helicopter giving rides. Pretty cool to see one that old. Even had MASH written on it.

At least they put a helmet on him to protect him from people throwing things at him. Basically they're saying, we don't think you should necessarily die but you will pay for this!

re: How are 4x4 fence posts being set these days…

Posted by Yammie250F on 9/8/25 at 10:41 am to Taffeta

I just had mine installed with the metal poles. Go about 4' deep, fence guy swore by them. They don't warp, rot or break. Price came out about the same. Poles are more expensive but no concrete and less labor. Only been up about six months so we shall see.

re: Pecan wood fer the smoker

Posted by Yammie250F on 9/2/25 at 1:32 pm to JRinNOLA

I like to use pecan with any type of oak to smoke meats, etc. My personal favorite combo. Luckily I have both in my yard so plenty of wood to smoke with.

How long does it take to get up and down one of those if you are towards the very top? Seems like you'd almost have to adjust elevator time into any type of commute you would do.

Exactly what I was thinking. What percentage of people in Louisiana could afford a 200k+ boat? Less than 1%. I get the concept but man that is some really bad optics for Landry.

This is why I only beach vacation at my place in the Hamptons. Yes, a little further to get there in the summers but with my private jet its not really that big a deal. My staff has everything already set up when I arrive. Its very convenient.

re: Upkeep of Ponds

Posted by Yammie250F on 7/7/25 at 2:31 pm to Tiger328

I have about a 1/4 acre pond. Has lots of bream but not many bass and the ones I do catch are small. I use shoreline defense around the bank for weeds and grass, its expensive but safe if it gets in the water. For an aerator use a septic pump. Cheaper than an actual aerator, will last long and no noise. Only downside to to the septic pump is I couldn't put the diffuser deeper than 10 feet, not enough pressure if you wanted to go deeper. Did have to buy 150ft of weighted hose to reach into the pond because the septic pump is plugged in on an outside outlet on my house.

Other than that not much to it. Kids love swimming in it and if you have a large limb hanging over the pond you can make a good rope swing for them to jump in.

re: Looking For Firewood To Be Delivered

Posted by Yammie250F on 6/24/25 at 3:23 pm to Python

I've used Ascension tree and stump for the last few years and been very satisfied. Last year a half cord oak was $170 if you picked it up and $250 delivered.

1/4 cord oak is $90 pickup and $150 delivered.

1 cord oak is $320 pickup and $450 delivered.

Again that is what I paid last year around September. And those are cash prices.

Has he applied to any universities and did he apply for ROTC scholarships? If not, he is kinda late to just begin those but could get in somewhere and move in Spring semester. Hard to believe waiting til last minute to explore path forward with a good student.

Exactly what I was coming to say. Like everyone else is saying with his smarts he'd be wasting 4 years of being enlisted. And for doing boot camp at 18-22, typical teenager thinking, tell him he'd be amazed at the 30+ Gunnies who will be running circles around even right after boot camp. Hell, look at the college 18-22 year old college football players compared to the 22+ NFL players physically. Its not even close.

Try your best to get him to go to college and do the officer route. Its the best for him when he's done by far. Call his recruiter yourself and see what he needs to do to go that route.
