  1. I saw a 45 cal bullet which had hit the target, deflected down to hit the rebar base then travel several stages parallel to the firing line before the firing line bent enough that the stray came through a slot in the barrier and removed a piece of Titus A Gnatsass' cheek and nose. Been spooky about rebar ever since.

  2. In a modern fridge or freezer:

    Fridge 24 hours. The food should be cool but still edible.

    Freezer 36 or more...It won't be frozen at 36. Might not be frozen at 24.

     

    After that. Smell test.

  3. I loved the German food. From Red Deer, Roe Deer to Carp I ate it all. Even Tried Katy Cristoph's homemade liverwurst, once.

    A group of Lts went to a Gasthaus in Oberammergau for supper and told the lovely fraulein to bring us enough food to feed us all. She brought out a tray that was a least 30" across with every good thing you could imagine from eggs to wurst to breads to cheese which we washed down with huge quantities of dunklebach.

    I have a special place in my memory for the street corner carts selling bratwurst and brochen with strong brown senf.

  4. I had my blackeyed peas with chopped onion and diced country ham cooked in a skillet with butter and honey!!

     

    You fry up the ham first with a little water and honey, then sautee the onions in the same skillet adding some butter while you dice the ham. Then you add bunch of blackeyed peas and the ham back into the skillet and heat it 'til it's nice 'n' bubbly!!

    That would work! Had some left over ham from my last batch of navy beans. Chunked it up with the peas.

  5. I have almost completely weaned myself from Pro Sports. NBA and NHL were never a problem so they don't even count. Never watch them. Watched a couple of baseball games last year. I have not seen more than a quarter of any NFL game this year.

    Strangely enough, I do not feel deprived at all.

  6. I would not use paraffin, as it is o hydrocarbon derivative, which causes fouling when burned with black powder. Paraffin is a by-product in the refining of crude oil.

     

    Mutton tallow? Unsure what it is (refined sheep fat?), but lanolin (also a sheep derivative) might be easier to get.

    Cooking paraffin is an acceptable component of a good black powder lube. I'm no petroleum engineer but it has to do with the amount of refinement that a product goes through that determines it's acceptability for black powder.

     

    KR beat me to it.
