  1. Quoting my post from April 2024 on killing mesquite. I spend some time Sunday and Monday removing dead mesquite and honey locust that I had sprayed in June 2024. After a year, they are usually rotten enough to push over with my boot, breaking off at ground level. Trees with 2”+ trunks needed sawing at ground level. Dead, 15 months after spraying Made about a hundred trips to the brush pile. Need a small trailer for the utv Either missed this one or the poison didn’t take. I didn’t put a marking flag on it so probably missed. A sprayed and not killed tree will have about 20% of the leaves by this time of the year. Usually takes a 3 year, annual treatment on a pasture to kill them all. Looking for a cattle cube snack
  2. We’re finishing up a Labor Day trip to the lake with the boat and RV tomorrow so I’ll figured give a 5 year update on owning our trailer. This trip is number 44 with 134 nights slept and having towed a little over 11000 miles. Almost half of our trips were to the same state park/lake that is only about 90 minutes away which makes it an easy weekend trip. Overall we still love having the trailer and it has become a focal point of family get together wherever we go. We have had good luck not having any major system issues on the road or after pulling it out of storage. The worst repair has been an electric brake failure and a tire slipping a belt and I caught both of them before anything go to far out of hand. We retired in June so some bigger trips are on the horizon. We have 10 days in the Black Hills/Custer State park reserved for next year and are waiting to reserve a spot in the Davis mountains next spring. We have a Frio River trip and a week at the beach to close out the summer this year before we start taking long trips to the ranch this fall and winter. Thanks again to those early Covid posts in this thread that was instrumental in pushing me towards looking at RVs and ultimately buying one. It been a great ride.
  3. Even better, they run off somewhere else to die so you don’t have to dispose of carcasses under your feeder.
  4. I bought a pair a few years ago off Amazon and they exceeded my expectation. The ones I bought had multiple heat levels and seems like they lasted a few hours on a med level while duck hunting.

  6. You miss out on the company % match for the rest of the year too. Always check your plan deductions in your payroll portal and match to a check stub early in the year and when getting a raise/large bonus and prorate your 401k contribution to meet the limit sometime in December.
  7. First rule of nursing home fight club, is you don’t talk about nursing home fight club
  8. SPB475 IMO a little above your price range but has a great look
  9. Anyone rebuilt or had rebuilt a SeaStar Hydraulic helm pump? I have the HH5371-1 1.7 cu/rev pump and it’s sucking air and leaking oil pretty bad. Its had a small leak for a year or so but it really let loose last weekend and has about 1/3 of a rev backlash. I found a place in Ca called Seatech Marine Products that will do a rebuild for $200 using your old pump. Anyone ever used them or had one rebuilt here in Tx?
  10. That’s $575 at Macy’s right now. I have similar looking Citizen Promaster Titanium Diver that $460 https://citizenwatch.widen.net/content/1db5a7ycwb/webp/Promaster+Dive.webp?u=41zuoe&width=500&height=625&quality=80&crop=false&keep=c&color=F9F8F6
  11. Sticker is at point of sale but if you are more than a few weeks expired or don’t have the green renewal paper they won’t do it for you. If you do online, you’ll get a receipt within about 48hrs and that is good for proof of registration.
  12. I had a spypoint and It sucked in the area I was using it. Wouldn’t maintain a cell connection and killed batteries trying to connect. I bought two reveal 3.0 Tacticams and they have been great. I also got the solar panel/lithium battery and have never changed out batteries in over a year. Will probably buy two more within a couple of months when the hunting sales start again.

  15. I’ve done some pretty stupid stuff in Jon boats in my youth but this guy is off the charts. If you follow the Texas Water Safari, you’ll recognize the name as Robert Youens attempts to break the Great Loop speed record (a little over 19days) using a 16’ jonboat with a 60hp Tohatsu and 84 gallons of fuel capacity. He did a 420 mile direct route across the Gulf from Pensacola to Ft Myers yesterday, passed through Ochochobee Waterway today and is off the beach headed north right now. He has a couple of great informative posts on his FB page and the Great Loop FB page. https://share.garmin.com/robertyouens?fbclid=IwQ0xDSwLhALZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHhEk_a_KGiABgVqJZVRyPniFFt7oZ2YTchkQiY5rMJK-hRkrYr5muBpAPNbg_aem_S6JHctA1bMcP6jJis6Gmow https://www.facebook.com/share/1KcydrSi5u/?mibextid=wwXIfr
  16. This. Lots of “Missing, have you seen them” posts on TX RV groups on FB. Lots of folks not going to be checking in.
  17. Qualified!
  18. Took this last year about as close as you can get to the bouys atthe dam at Inks. Constant level lake, except for a few small creeks, any water released from Buchanan goes over the dam at Inks. With the drought, Inks was about a foot low last August.
  19. Is there enough bunks on that boat to overnight 4 persons. I don’t remember what the interior cabin pics looked like. Awesome boat!
  20. I have the tamping bar that has a 3” nailhead instead of the point. We replaced some fence posts a few weeks back including a corner post set using salvaged telephone poles. My arms still hurt.
  21. Haha, Yall hit me up via PM if you have questions.

    Anyone follow the Texas Water Safari? I’ve seen a bunch of video clips on social media over the weekend as they started the race early and stopped it short due to the amount of water in lower Guad.
  23. Not a damn thing, House of Pies, not a damn thing.
