It's really nice when the starter comes to get you for your tee time instead of being anxious about getting over there.


Yep…. That and someone grabbing your clubs out of your car, cart girls and everyone being attentive. Then the course is almost always in great shape.

The first time we played Fallen Oak, we tried to put our shoes on in the parking lot. A guy rode up and looked at us like we were white trash…. :lol:

He said, put your shoes on in the locker room like civilized people. He smiled afterwards and took us up to the clubhouse in the cart.

re: The Reserve or Grand Bear

The Preserve is a better overall experience and should be a better course. The service is just better at The Preserve.

In the winter, who knows on the course conditions though. We haven’t played out there since this past summer. We usually go around the end of August, but were unable to make it this year.

They are completely different experiences. The Preserve has the marshy coastal vibe and Grand Bear is in the middle of hilly pine woods.

If you’re staying in Biloxi, it’s 20 min to The Preserve and around 35-40 to grand Bear.

Shell Landing is a fun play too. More laid back than The Preserve and the greens are always in primo shape.

If youre staying at The Beau, you should try to get on Fallen Oak. It’s better than any of the others.

re: Dog food help

A couple of things…

Science diet is shite for food and is pushed by vets, in general it’s all they sale.

When switching from one bag to another, you should do it gradually. One reason is it could make them have the flying shits if you just switch it completely at a feeding. You just need to gradually have it become a bigger portion of the feeding over a few days.

If you live in or around Baton Rouge, go to Jefferson Feed Mart. Most of the folks that work at those 2 locations are pretty knowledgeable on their products and can help guide you.

My last 2 dogs have been interesting to say the least with food and they helped me out a good bit. I like to buy local if I can too.

Played The Island today. Greens rolled nice, were in good shape and were pretty receptive. The practice green was pretty on point with the rest of the course. Not as fast as UClub, but still rolled well.

However, they must have had a run of slap dicks over the holidays playing. I’ve never seen that many unfixed ball marks on the greens there. It looked like Copper used too.

The gold tee boxes looked like a Bourbon St whore…. They were pretty beat up.

Overall the course was in pretty good shape as well as the greens.

Doesn’t he have to have a Masters to be able to be hired at a college level coaching position. Which would mean he’d have to have his bachelors.

I’m not sure, but has he ever gone back to school? He can’t have much more than sophomore level credits?

I’m not busting his balls either way. It’s just a far fetched dream for some if these are in fact the requirements.

Hence why you are a grad assistant when you’re done playing and not directly tied into a full time spot due to you getting your masters.

Yup…. And my mom and great grandmother would peel and cook down eggplant in it as well.

She would always start it before I got there or if I stayed the night she’d start before I woke up. Never thought to ask about the specific process or recipe. She passed before I was able to find out. She’d do that one for the holidays or celebrations.

I think the eggplant is some Acadia parish shite…. :lol:
If you want steak hit up Doris. GW fins is down there…

I’m holding strong onto last years bottles. :lol:

Heading up to a buddy’s hunting camp in Arky next weekend. That’ll be where the first one or two from last year get cracked open.

I need to get rid of a few from this years batches to friends.
I use just lump…. Rockwood, Jealous Devil and Fogo if I can’t find the other 2.

All 3 can be found at Goodwood.

Home Depot will carry Jealous Devil.

I have also used a bag of Blue Oak as well. I’m not sure who makes theirs as I assume they just put their label on something.
I have friends that live on one of the courses there. It’s a great area.

And yeh…. It’s very red. It’s not Baton Rouge or NOLA for sure. Ha

Going to try to get up there next April/May again. I’d move up there in a heart beat.
If you’re unsure on the RFX, then get the Smoke X4.

It come with 4 probes, one of them set up for the grill grate. You can get the WiFi bridge for it too.

I have that one and the receiver will read in your house easily. I don’t how far I was from it the other day, but it was probably 50-60 yds and it was still receiving the signal from the unit.

It’s also compatible with their billows unit.

Still amazed people buy GMC, RAM, or Ford knowing at 50,000 miles everything will fall apart. Please tell me why you buy these vehicles other than ‘you’re a pussy’ from the uneducated idiots. Please explain.


I got a Ram because my 2009 Tundra hit 260k and at the time the new Tundra was blowing up engines at 30k miles. I didn’t want to frick with all that. I would’ve got a Tundra had that not been happening.

It was time to put some money into the Tundra. Instead, I gave it to my dad.

I got a good deal on the Ram and got a nicer, better riding truck than the GMC/Chevy. I would’ve had to pay 7-10k more to get the same level of GMC/Chevy at that time.
Yeh…. I try not to be that guy, but it was bad.

So bad, that the long TD before the half was never shown on replay. Only to be shown during half time. Which showed that the dude bobbled the ball and didn’t make the catch. They showed it once, made a comment and that was it.

Not to mention to overturned LSU grab that got looked at for 35min. Which was a damn catch. :lol:

Nothing crazy…. I think that Feliciana’s Best milk products help the most.

Use Louisiana cane sugar, expensive eggs and good booze.

The last 2 years, I’ve kept some for the next year. It’s worth it. Keep some aging in the back of the fridge. It’ll separate some, just shake it every now and then.

I have 4 pints left from last year, plus anything that anyone didn’t touch. I make a couple batches and hand some out to buddies for the holidays.

I use Felicianas Best whole milk, cream and half and half. That’s all I’m telling. :lol:

I'm kind of ok with doing this to Walmart seeing how much of their full-time employees have to receive SNAP benefits because Walmart pays them so little.


Walmart is 80-90% part time. You know that going in. You aren’t going to make a living at 20-30 hrs a week.

Find a trade, get educated. Make some money.

That being said…. They could probably offer a significant portion of the staff full time hours, but then they have to pay benefits etc…. There goes those “rollback” prices…
Imaging is the first thing they do.

re: Costco Wagyu brisket

Posted by HebertFest08 on 10/11/25 at 8:12 am to
Haven’t tried those yet. However, I cooked a Snake River Farms “black rated” Wagyu alongside a prime 44 Farms Brisket and I can tell you there was an absolute difference in the 2.

Both were fantastic, it’s just a different taste. The 44 Farms was more beefy and the Wagyu more moist and buttery.

$150 shipped for a smaller one from Snake River and about the same shipped for the large prime from 44 farms.
Got a 09’ with 247k.

Water pump, an alternator and a few batteries are what’s been changed other than the regular maintenance stuff. Did the plugs and wires at I think 175k.

I’m pretty sure he’s won a Grammy as a producer.
