re: Poll shows lawmakers went too far on permitless concealed carry
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/7/24 at 5:33 pm
This is so freaking stupid. We've had permitlwss carry in Oklahoma for 4 1/2 years and it hasn't changed anything for the worse.
It's not like this is some new phenomenon and Louisiana is being a guinea pig. ...

Nope.
If they don't work or contribute financially, then they can get you. The spousal support lasted 2-3 years.
It has nothing to do with fault. It's financial support to bridge the gap until they can get education, training or whatever to be able to financially support themselves. ...
re: 5/6 Oklahoma/Kansas severe weather - High Risk- PDS Tor Watch
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/7/24 at 12:57 pm
Yep. My rates in Oklahoma are very, very reasonable.
A tornado a few years ago went right through my area. I had some damage (a few loafing sheds and a pole barn), but I didn't file a claim because my shite wasn't destroyed and it wasn't worth the hassle to get increased premiums.
That storm k...

re: Trailer Bearing Replacement near Baton Rouge
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/7/24 at 12:38 pm
As others have said, easy job to do yourself. Buy a seal puller and a bearing packer. Those should be the only tools you have to buy and they're cheap.
I prefer the bearing packer that's plastic and hooks up to a grease gun over the kind you have to push down.
And don't forget several pairs ...
re: Are boat launches some of the most comical places on earth?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/7/24 at 12:35 pm
Adding that with all the rain recently, the lake is 7' high. Also, a lot of logs, debris, etc have been washed into the lake with the storm.
I would recommend to anyone not familiar with the current lake conditions, to be very careful. A ton of crap to tear up your prop or worse. ...
re: Are boat launches some of the most comical places on earth?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/7/24 at 12:29 pm
I fish 3-4 days a week minimum. At least half of that time I'm by myself.
So I have had to b3come very proficient with doing it all. I'm lucky that I am usually at the ramp between 4-5 am and off the water by 11 am. So I usually only contend with guides or other experienced boat ramp users.

I'm in week 5 of a 14-16 week house remodel, so we are staying in the 5th wheel. We have it parked underneath one of my sheds off of one of my shop buildings.
It's hard as frick to sleep in a 5th wheel when it's pouring in these storms.
I wish it would stop raining and storms. My home lake h...
re: Does Money Truly Bring Out the Worst in People?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/6/24 at 12:08 pm
We have a little money. And I think it has allowed my wife and I to do things and have great experiences that we otherwise wouldn't have. So, money doesn't bring out the worst in people.
Greed is what brings out the bad. In-laws that don't have much feel entitled to ask for stuff. For instance a...

My wife plays slots every week or so.
She's the highest level at Choctaw in Oklahoma and Caesars. It's actually pretty convenient. $175 free play every two weeks, a hostess that we get free rooms whenever we want them (great when people are in town) and free food, gifts, etc. Through Caesars w...
re: Where is the perfect place to live?
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/5/24 at 6:57 pm
I actually like living in southern Oklahoma. Low cost of living, very peaceful. No neighbors for as far as the eyes can see.
If I need to go to the city, it's an easy drive to DFW.
But no place is perfect. I've lived in 10 states from rural Missouri growing up to Los Angeles County. Every sin...
re: I guess DFW didnt get the memo about climate change
Posted by El Segundo Guy on 5/5/24 at 6:17 pm
Been there twice already. The boat ramps and parking are a total shitahow and will be for a long time.
Nice lake but it doesn't have the size necessary for every swinging dick in DFW that wants to fish there. I live 40 ish miles from Bois d'Arc and would much rather go to Texoma. ...

Twice a year I buy Cornish Cross meat chickens. Feed them out for a few weeks then slaughter. No big deal.

Absolutely not.
I don't owe anyone a single penny or a minute of my time. In that position, I don't have a boss, a company, a bank or lender that can hold me accountable for a damn thing, which allows me to do whatever the frick I want. And I take full advantage of it. ...

The fact is, we could do better as a country if our population was 250 mil or so. Stop illegal immigration and a lower birth rate is ideal.
Why do we need to grow the population? Our land size isn't growing proportionally. Many of our cities are already packed in like sardines and bitching abou...
