no. but I am good friends with two coaches that do that. I can't stand it, personally


I’ve had kids swimming for about the past 8 years. Couple years ago, the whistler was absent for the first two meets. I had always assumed it was a kid. And assumed he graduated and was quite happy. Then he came back. Figured out last year it’s a coach. It’s very obnoxious.

In the event you’re my kids’ coach, thanks for being an awesome coach. If you’re not, still thanks. 30 years is a long run and our kids coaches make good impacts on their lives.
Are you the coach that whistles shrilly in time with the kids’s swimming?
The ventilation totally sucks. And they very much check bags. You can’t leave and come back. The jambalaya is good but like all sports events, especially the ones that don’t allow food, there aren’t any healthy options for the athletes. It’s an overall shite place for this to be held.

re: Launching a bay boat solo - tips?

I start the backdown, before the water I give my strap about 2-3’ of slack (make sure to lock the winch). Back down very slowly and very close to the dock. Once floating, the strap should give it enough room to clear the bow roller and float back, but stays between my guideposts. Set the break, hop out, step from dock to boat, lean over bow and unhook, go park boat then go park truck.

It’s really not hard, and I do it solo but also when with people that are incapable of helping for whatever reason.

I’ve tried the bow line tied to trailer, but I like using the winch strap, it keeps the boat in a little more control. The time I tried the bow line, it came off a bit too quickly, went a bit sideways and broke a guidepost.
I have an Expedition Max for 5 years now. 90k miles. No real issues with it. Plenty of space, no need to use the roof rack or hitch rack which is a huge plus.

But the Suburban and Yukon XL are now slightly longer. And I will say that although I didn’t like the suburban seat ergonomics when I was buying, every time I ride in a suburban or Yukon I feel like it is much nicer than my expedition in terms of ride/comfort.

I wish they’d make it again. But you know if they did it would start at $103k

We do, until we need one personally. It’s one for you to get one if you’re injured. No one else is though. It’s PIHate 101

Got two off of an infomercial 20 years ago. Greatest peeler ever.
Yeah here too.

Like everyone else said - the truth and let them be there. When I was 10 someone shot my cat, and we had to bring her in. I was very glad to be there for him as they gave him the shot. 10 years later, my dad brought our dog in and didn’t tell me until after. I was pretty upset about that.
Man I cry without looking at anything sometimes. All I have to do is think about it.

When I’m with my youngest and we see little kids she always says “don’t cry , it’s ok”.

This is an interesting read, based on the statements on the cop that drove the budget truck to the bridge. The ultimate reason why shots were fired is that some cops snapped and lost their shite.

It’s not just the indictment. Go back and read the investigation reports and Factual Basis for the cops that flipped.

In a nutshell, they rode over there and shot a bunch of people they knew were unarmed. Shot some as they ran away, one guy in particular, that I actually knew in real life, shot two of the women, who then dumped over a concrete barrier, ole boy ran over there and lit them up some more, then walked down the bridge and stomped on and shot Ronald Madison.

If you think what they did was ok you are a major retard.

ETA / I was on their side when the story broke. Once the reports started coming out, that is shite that can’t be defended. Yes it was a fricked up time, but they went out with the intention to kill people and did so for no reason.

You should read the indictment

There were three, right?


Had to go look it up… Three breaches. Two canals. 17th St broke on orleans side. London ave canal had breaches on both sides. MRGO and Industrial canal levees were overtopped.

Can’t believe it’s been 20 years. What a crazy fricking time that was, still is really.

All around light needs to be required. Replaced the entire assembly because my 25 year old bulb burnt out and I can’t find a replacement. Wired new one in to existing wire. Had 12 volts at end of the wire, spliced in new light, nothing.

Raptor stopped working. Turns on. Remotes don’t pair and it won’t go up or down from the pump.

I think that’s actually it
Yeah the racism angle is old and fricking ridiculous.

The whole blocking of the CCC thing as the racist Gretna PD is bullshite. Where and what did those people think they were walking to? Across the river, people were mostly gone because they evacuated. The ones that stayed were dealing with the same shite - some has their own supplies, but it was the same as unflooded east bank - no power, nothing open and no one prepared for what happened. There was no rescue center, no oasis with air conditioning food and water. fricking dumb.

I have used them since 2018 and highly recommend them. Family run business, fair prices and shoot straight. Won’t recommend shite you don’t need. They will slap a sticker on your motor so tell them if you don’t want them to.
