    2025-2026 College Football, Now the Minor Leagues of the NFL.

    LSU playing a true powerhouse today. Southeastern Louisiana 45 minutes away. I went there for a semester 35 years ago and kind of surprised they still have a team. I quit when my instructor kept hounding me for a job reference where I was working, kind of explains it all.

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    After talkig to my parents looks like they are changing their minds on moving. They had wildly unrealistic ideas of what they could get for X amount of money. Not to mention moving at 80+ is not the same as when they were younger. Like I said before they thought they could buy a fully...

    What did you just read?

    A lot of his info came from Larry Bond that he worked together on some stuff like Red Storm Rising. Yanked a lot of out of the Harpoon PC game by Bond in the manual back when games had printed manuals. Saw an interview of Clancy saying both him and Bond looked at Janes Encylcopedia on a number...

    Pets

    I had a Russian Blue for almost 20 years. Died three years ago. Longest time I've ever been without a pet. I had a Britnay Spaniel that lived 17 years. Sucked she died when I was out of town and she was at my parents place. She was hell on woodcock, so much so I changed her name to Pax from the...

    Investing General Discussion

    Just came into a non trivial amount of money and guess I'm just going to stick it a pretty plain index etf or two. The last 35 years I've made more money than my salary outside of the market even though I'm invested in it. The days of investing in a private company again are gone for me at...

    On becoming an electrician

    If you buy one it's like food, it comes with an expiration date on it so you can see it. I guess the lanyards will rot over time. Like I said I am supposed to be tied off if there is no handrail to contain me. However because a lot of my work is related to the 3B's it's not always an option...

    On becoming an electrician

    I have to wear a harness if there is no handrail containing me. There are two types of lanyards and what company you are working at depends on which one you use. One is a long lanyard where it is folded back on itself and sewn together so it comes apart as you fall. I think those are for roofing...

    Dating

    If you don't already have a degree a night class might help. I started college late at 24 and lots of people I met both guy and girl were looking to move on from the high school type thing. I'm not saying go for a degree just the class.

    I rarely watch a game live. Was going to look in at the LSU/ Florida game. At my parents and they are about 100 yards from the blackout line for the game on local. Wrong side of the river.

    EVE Online

    The update on Tuesday had a number of changes to things here and there. But everyone can claim a free pilot resculpt in the New Eden Store with your weekly 10k free SP or whatever it is. Sounds like major pandering to me. You can resculpt your looks as normal but now you can change the sex you...

    Why I said a while back that Jonathon may be the best person for the job getting things designed and produced I don't know. I do know they should have found someone else to be the face of the company for PR and annoucements.

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    My mother took a big fall last night. I wasn't there but stopped by to pick up some stuff. They have a small closet off the hall that has a small night light that hangs off the door knob. I noticed it was on the floor. Turns out she fell into the door. She has a pretty big lump on her head...

    I know things that interest me are of no interst to most people. Sitting here today was thinking about cool things I've seen or been around. One of those days. Either today or tomorrow I'll be checking in a hospital for possibly the last time. In 1992 I spent the summer in Alaska on the Kenai...

    Home Improvement

    That's been my experience as well, but guessing a lot of people can't easily buy non ethanol gas. It's all they sell here at the marinas and near the lake. You pay a premium but for small engines it's probably better than to having to drain your stuff or clean your carb and such.

    Health Problems

    I've been a number of MRIs and only one place that I know of has an open MRI and it wasn't a place I went to. I figure there is a huge upsell to them for people that won't fit into a normal one or claustrophobic. It's also the only place I've seen that advertises they do MRIs and have an open...

    Health Problems

    I get head, heck, and spine with and without contrast. It takes about 1-1/2 hours or so. By the time they do the first scan and then the dye and then another scan. They use several foam type deals to support your legs/knees and your head/neck so it doesn't move. I don't have to breath in and out...
