On a below zero day in the deer blind together, my daughter and I discovered our peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were frozen! We grilled them on the buddy heater to thaw them out. Came off toasted and smelling great. Best sandwiches we ever ate.

We might not be able to get along without avocados but I'm willing to try.

I recently "adopted" a SKB 280. I noticed that extractor on this model is split in the middle, unlike the two SKB 100s that I own. Does this feature present any problems when making this gun race ready?

Interesting.

I can be a pretty loyal customer and have a good amount of latitude with "humanity" as it is. For a number of years I have been buying my bullets for CAS at a company that I will not name here where I understood I was paying an almost $30 premium per 1,000 bullets, but given all was good I did not change until recently. My last order from this company had a very high percentage of badly misshapen bullets and the lube had pretty much cracked and had fallen off most of them. I sent an e mail just to let them know, very nice and not asking for anything. After a week or two I had no response so I called. I asked if they saw my e mail and they said they did. I simply said I wanted them to be aware of the issue I had. The response. "We're human, you want more bullets." Nope, thank you. So I order two thousand bullets from Rim Rock and I screw up and order 1,000 of the wrong bullets. I call them to see if I could return them and not only do they immediately send out the bullets I should have ordered but also send me a prepaid USPS mailer to send them back. Saving me not only $30 per thousand, but also the return postage. Also a very pleasant phone conversation with them. How can you beat that! It doesn't take much to keep me happy, but these guys went above and beyond. I'll be ordering many more bullets from theses guys.

I watched a landing on one of our Canadian frigates, in rough weather. They drop the winch line, from the centre of the airframe and the deck crew hooks to a winch and ring bolt on the deck. Pilot then powers up and tries to lift the ship, while they deck crew winches the helicopter down. Neat operation.

PS There are some negative things relating to gun ownership that have been enacted in many states. I'm tired of the attempts to paint all of those states' citizens with the "broad brush." It reminds me of the bigotry that says all of a group are thugs.

Okay! Has everyone had their California bashing need satisfied? I have. PS When our dear UB writes that it is not making sense, I'm listening.

OK. Now I know what I'm making for dinner. Griddle cheese sandwiches with tomato basil soup. Yummmmmm.

I was thinking about spritzing the bread with bacon fat instead of butter.

Absolutely. You are the consumer. I put in the extra effort to win culinary competitions, so I follow what others do and then add or change embellishments. And maybe I should add that my embellishments are usually not cost effective except in a very pricey restaurant.

Thanks Dan...a heads up for us all....Jim

Bead blasting. Take it in somewhere. Whoever takes one look at it will do it for free.

So this morning I stopped into the local gas station for a cup of coffee and I pull up and their is this woman smoking a cigarette while pumping gas. I thought, "wow this woman is stupid," oh well I thought, let natural selection do it's job and I walked in. As I was getting my coffee I noticed two of our local finest men in blue walking out and I gave them a "howdy do gents", and told them they might want to keep an eye on the woman. I come out with my coffee and sure enough this woman is yelling and screaming and her arm is on fire! The police officers took a fire extinguisher out of their trunk and properly extinguished the woman. From there it got confusing, they slapped the cuffs on her and put her in the back of their cruiser. I asked them, "Are you arresting her because she is stupid?" they responded with "No she was waving her FIREARM around like a crazy person!" I heard this joke at the office today, and had to share. This is not a true story and is meant tickle your funny bone on a Friday. Have a great Weekend!

Joe: Thank you! My wife and I have been feeling the stress of taking my aging Dad into our home - the extra laundry, the special cooking, the unique burdens of caring for elderly parents. Of course, we would not have it any other way - we love him dearly. But every once in awhile, we need to release some frustration with small inconveniences such as the pile of dropped food under his place at the table (he has become our dog's fast friend) - and this pic hits the mark. Thanks for giving us something to laugh about! LL

This secession movement is nothing more than a plot for a "B" sci-fi movie.

Yes it is. It is also entirely possible that the person who came up with it is a Marine. I work with a couple, one prior service, and one currently in the Marine Reserve. It is a longstanding joke.

Yep. I've seen variations on that floating around for a few months.

It's all talk.

I can't believe that. I have seen the stats about fruits and vegetables and I can believe that. But we also eat meat, seafood, and grains and very little of those come from California.

One thing about it. If you forget and leave it at the range. It'll still be there waiting till your next visit.

He ain't missed many meals lately. It does bring new meajing to the term potty mouth.

The loads are too light and the primers are not re-seating under recoil. Up the load a little and the problem should go away. Best regards,

OK Rye. I'll take 5 flats. But you have to deliver! NN

All I have to do is go out the back door to shoot. We have cowboy steel and various distances to shoot. I live on top of a hill so we have to walk a little for safe long range shooting. With that being said, all I have shot in the last several years is Cowboy. I do shoot groundhogs from the bathroom window with a 10-22. Since I'm now retired, I'll probably drag some stuff out of the safe and fire them up.
