Very small world. I live 2 hours east of Lafayette just north of Hammond and work down in Grand Isle. When I retire I will still be in Louisiana lol
Lol
You're making me homesick buddy, lol I used to work offshore out Port Fouchon not far from Grand Isle.. also worked out of Morgan City on a supply/jack up boat.. good fishing there too!
After 9:11 Coast Guard rules changed on the Gulf and I had to move back here to California. But I am looking forward to moving back there..
Maybe to Opalousas or Breaux Bridge..hopefully! lol

Rixsta, do you know if the Super tanks glass is interchangeable with any other tanks glass?
The other night I was getting out of my car and my vape gear bag accidentally dumped out and ended up breaking the glass of one of my Super tanks. To add insult to injury while I was picking it all up my cell phone slips out of my pocket and now its glass is cracked.....wasnt a good night
I work for that helicopter company that flies those yellow and back helicopters and was offshore when 911 happened. Only time during the 12 years I worked on the platforms that I had to take a boat ride to get in. Rode the boats a few times when the helicopter broke on another platform and had to get to it to fix it. Always loved riding the crane basket lol
I think I rode in one of your copters once..it was to replace a hand on the boat that got hurt some 85mi offshore.. I did have to take water survival to get an endorsement..that was fun getting strapped into a PVC cage, turned upside down underwater...no worries! I passed, first try lolI work for that helicopter company that flies those yellow and back helicopters and was offshore when 911 happened.

I had to do that underwater survival training and hated it. Because of medical issues I was able to get my name taken of the list of those required to do it
don't care about the pipe for me, but others were talking about them on the back porch. That's really sweet darlin, but y'all just take your time, whenever ya get around to it! Just so sweet of y'all to do that in the first place!That would go nice with your cuppa tea
We have to go and visit his parents tomorrow so there may be a little delay in sending the stuff to you, can't be helped but I will personally see it's sent as soon as we can hunny x
Good to see ya hun! Hope yur having a blast on your trip!!!
My ex started working on crew boats (like in chop docs pic) out of Morgan City. He was on the MV Dominique, it was all gray and looked like a gun boat from the front! lol That was bad when the engine went out during a hurricane and they drifted ALMOST into mexican waters before they could get it fixed! Then he moved to Galveston and worked on the McCall fleet, yellow and brown boats. One of those is where we spent Hurricane Alicia in 83 tied up under the 610 bridge in the Houston ship channel. Who spends a hurricane on a boat on purpose??

Talk about bad luck my friend, careful because they usually come in three's.Rixsta, do you know if the Super Tanks glass is interchangeable with any other tanks glass?

I don't know to any other glass tank that fits sorry but I did find this, pretty darn cheap too.
Tobeco Supertank Replacement Glass
@Fuzzy Thunderbear I'm not so sure they named it after you but they are running a St. Patrick's Day sale Discount Code: GoodToBeGreen for 20% off all orders so you can try some Fuzzy Tea
I do not remember whether or not Lannie or I told you that I had to take our female Pyr in for emergency surgery last Thursday, but just in case one of us did, she's home now.
Went to pick up my doggie this morning. Kiara spent the first hour of the ride home licking us (hard to drive and pet a Pyr at the same time). I haven't seen her this happy in a long time. She has to stay in the dog pen for a couple more days until her sutures are sufficiently sealed that she can go out and roll in the dirt. The vet's bill made me slightly faint ... $999.45 !!! (plus $45.50 for gas for two trips) Well, I own the 45 cents, but not the rest, so it all had to go on a credit card. Now there's nothing left to get that new riding mower this place so desperately needs, but she's more important than manicured grass and weeds.

Pyr as in Great Pyranese??? Those are gorgeous dogs. Sorry she had to have surgery, but glad she's all fixed up.
awwwwww that's so sweet, thank you!
I use to love riding the baskets the few times I got to ride them. Beats swinging by a rope onto a boat
You would grab the rope of the basket with one foot on the bottom ring and when the crane picket it up you just stepped onto it. Then they would swing ya over the water where your around 75 foot up, and lower ya down to close to the boat and then swing you over the boat and set ya down. Just make sure the crane operator isnt mad at you or you might be taking a swim.
