    The way I read this bill, it gives a terrorist free rein to use anything but a gun to attack a peace officer ....

    They are mentally deficient, you know...

    Do you mean the terrorists or the legislators that thought this crap up and support the new law .

    Colt Generatations

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

     I have a 1959 vintage (Gen. 2 ?)  5  1/2" .45 Colt that my parents got me for my high school graduation in 1960.  It was brand new gun at that time.  Over the years it has been refinished once and has had a lot of internals replaced.  I bought a Tyler "one piece" Ivorex  grips kit for it in 1975, and custom holster made in the style of El Paso Saddlery's original Ranger, but cut lower like their Ranger fast draw style.  It hangs on a El Paso money belt with some added silver conchos.

     

    I pretty much retired the gun in the '80s and got a pair of AWAs with matching holsters), but I'll  keep "Old Sam" until I die.  It's in a safety deposit box at my bank, but I visit it every few months.

    I wonder, at times, why people fall for this

    I was doing a search for something, and I went to one of the pages that was offered.

     

    As soon as it opened it immediately sent me to another page. This second page told me, as soon as I got there, that my Android phone was infected with two viruses and a Trojan, and I desperately needed to download their antivirus to get rid of that.

     

    When I run my antivirus it takes a minimum of 3 minutes to scan my phone. Sometimes it takes a long time. And this place knew that I had two viruses in a Trojan within a half a second of me getting there.

     

    Wow.

     

    But they must get people to download it, otherwise they wouldn't continue running that site.

     

    Don't people think?

    Why is CBS Chicago telling the story of a bird in Arizona?  

     

    Oh, I know:  They don't have ANY news that doesn't involve murder, mayhem, mutilation, assault, robbery, theft, terror, etc within five hundred miles of Chicago and everyone has already seen that on every channel and after awhile it isn't news anymore, it's just more boring BS.

    I remember a Mack delivering ice to homes in Logan, Utah as late a 1958-1960 era.  The kids would follow it on hot days and the driver always gave  us each a chunk of ice.

     

    We had an ice box in the basement of the first three homes we had in Logan.

    Hey Forty!  It’ll work with bratwurst and other such sausages too!!

    'Bout the only sausage I eat are Jimmy Dean original breakfast sausages and andouilles (andooies) with some Cajun foods....like red beans and rice.

    Hey, Forty!!  Get you a package of the Nathan’s Colossal Restaurant hotdogs!!

     

    Heat up your fryer and drop a couple of them in. Let ‘em cook ‘til they float to the top and then count to ten and take them out!

     

    The skin will be crisp and the meat inside won’t be oily!!

     

    They rock cooked this way!!

    I'm sorry Pard, but I'll starve to death before I ever eat another hot dog.  Never developed a taste for them.

    For the fryer Wesson works fine.  Peanut oil seems to be most recommended.  Do not use olive oil of any type.  

     

    For the scallops, pat them dry,  dredge in seasoned flour (salt, pepper,  maybe garlic powder), dip in an egg wash of eggs whisked with a  little milk or water,  then roll in the bread crumbs.

     

     

    ADDED:

     

    For a crisper coating use cornstarch or a cornstarch & flour mix rather than just flour. 

     

    Tempura batter is insanely easy to make.  Whisk 2 egg whites until foamy,  gradually fold in 1 cup of flour and 2/3 cup of water .  Some prefer rice flour,  but AP flour is fine. Maybe add a  pinch of salt to the egg whites.  Great for fish,  shrimp, vegetables,  mushrooms.  

    That tempera recipe makes about a year's supply for me.  I believe I'm going to pass on it.

    Scallops , garlic butter on stove . or on grill  .

    Tartar Sauce if you can find it I like this one

    Found it on Amazon.  Delivery Thursday.  I keep you posted.  Thanks.

     

    BTW, they have about a dozen different flavors.  A 3 pack ot three flavors saves about 40%...but none of the others rang my chimes, so I got the plain version.

    Is this normal in pro wrestling

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

     I haven't watched pro wrestling since about 1962.  A friend of Mom's was a school teacher during the week, but was Gentleman Jim on Friday Nights and Saturdays.

     

    When he told me the bare truth about pro wrestling.  I watched a couple of more matches to see if I could spot the phoniness.  I couldn't see anything but, so I quit watching it altogether.

     

    Ho hum!  I miss it about as much a Custer would have missed all those Indians.

    I bought a simple home deep fat fryer and broke it in last night with frozen un-spiced and un-breaded scallops (extra large because I can't find any smaller ones).   Eh.....it was alright using what I had on hand, but it wasn't all that special.  It's a good little cooker, easy to use and easy to clean up.

     

    What is the best oil to use?  I had two choices, Wesson and EVO.  What's better?  I love butter, but I'm told it isn't good for this: too smoky and doesn' taste as good.

     

    I breaded the scallops with egg and Italian style bread crumbs.  I couldn't even taste the crumbs, but it works well on some dishes.  I have plenty of general purpose flour and a bunch of different spices.  Any suggestions?

     

    BTW, I'm also looking for some GOOD tartar sauce.  All of the bottled stuff that Ihave found tastes like left overs from a kid's Gilbert chemistry set.

     

    And I'm also looking for any recipes with different foods: other fish, meats, veggies, whatever.

     

    Thanks.
