re: Seeking input about historical firearms as investments
Posted by swampthing on 1/17/26 at 5:54 am to Scoob
I have a collection of firearms from the late 1700's - late 1800s. I haven't bought them as investments - I bought them 'cause I like them. You can also search the auction houses like Rock Island, Morphy, Poulin, - and also the online bidding sites like Proxibid - and see what the same/similar items have sold for in prior auctions.

Headed to the show Wednesday afternoon with one of my teenagers. Rec's on where to park (or where NOT to park) so that I can easily get out for the trip back to Baton Rouge?

I'm pretty sure it was on Burbank, right near that daiquiri shop (close/across the street from where Gordon just built his pickle ball courts)

The jerseys used to be "tear away" jerseys. As a kid my brothers and I would head to the stands behind the team after the games and trainers would throw the scraps to the kids. This was part of our haul.
re: Trusted mechanic for 1979 Trans Am in Baton Rouge area?

Borg Warner T-10 4 speed. Yes - WS6 performance package / Y84 SE package. Only 1 of 1,107 originally built.
It has a strong crank - it just won't start. I have checked the battery, plugs. I have replaced the ignition module and coil. I have wondered if it is the small cylinder shaped capacitor near the module (shaped like a CR2 battery), but this is starting to get outside of my skill set....

Trusted mechanic for 1979 Trans Am in Baton Rouge area?
Posted by swampthing on 5/30/25 at 7:38 am
I have a 1979 Firebird Trans Am (6.6L, 400 ci engine, 4 speed; yes - it's black with t-tops!) that I can't get to start. I'm pretty sure it is a distributor issue. Does anyone have rec's for a trusted mechanic in the Baton Rouge area? I'm guessing it's too optimistic to find one that does mobile work....?
re: My father passed away- Need ideas on auctioning music equipment
Posted by swampthing on 1/28/25 at 1:43 pm to dukke v
Donate it to Baton Rouge Music Studio on Government Street. They teach music lessons (guitar, voice, bass, etc...) to kids and have a great rock band program for kids. I'm sure that they could use the equipment and the people would be very appreciative.

Dude ranch recs

We (family of 5; me/wife, 3 teenage kids 14-18 years old) are looking at the possibility of a dude ranch vacation next summer (2025). We looked in the Jackson WY/Yellowstone area a few summers ago but didn't end up booking it.

Experience with the "Decked" truck bed storage system?
Posted by swampthing on 2/29/24 at 9:08 am
I'm looking for input on the "Decked" truck-bed storage system. I could use the storage but don't like the amount of space (height - wise) that it takes up. How difficult are they to take in/out once they have been installed?
looking for rec's/info for a chartered yacht trip in the BVI
Posted by swampthing on 1/2/24 at 6:27 am
I'm researching a trip for late May/early June. We have a family of 5 (3 middle/high school age kids). I am looking for a chartered trip with a captain and possibly a crew as well. The plan would be to island hop each day. I have checked out "MarineMax" charters but looking for ideas, suggestions, rec's, etc... - thanks!

Tactacam gets my vote.
I have used Moultrie, Cuddebak, etc... The first Moultrie cell cams worked great - and then they came out with a new and improved version, which (for me), didn't work as well.
I purchased 8 tactacams 2 years ago. 6 of them are still working strong - the other 2 were stolen by some dirtbags.
With these cams, you have to remember that you are paying about 125 bucks or so for a device that is in the weather 24/7/365 and was likely put together by children in another country. At some point, they are going to wear out....

We (wife, 3 kids - 13-17 in age) are planning a trip early 2024 to England / France. We (I) want to plan the trip around a trip to Normandy for the 80th anniversary of D-day. I anticipate stays in London and Paris and would like to do a trip thru the Chunnel.
Any ideas, thoughts, suggestions, etc are appreciated. I need help with sites/services to use for planning the trip, etc.. Should we book a guide for Normandy? etc... - Any help is appreciated!

re: Down the AI Rabbit Hole Again. Luxury POW Camp in Mississippi during WWII.
Posted by swampthing on 5/22/23 at 2:09 pm to JustDooIt
My father grew up outside of Clinton and went to school in Clinton. He grew up in the 1930's/early 40's. He told me about the pow camp in Clinton and how the kids would stand outside the fences and watch the prisoners.
