  1. I try to not have thoughts.  Or, at least, not expressing them.  

     

    See, once people find out that you can think they start expecting you to think.  Not only that,  they expect you to think rationally and clearly. 

     

    That's too much work and responsibility.

  2. Re: Southern Comfort.   At my high school graduation the guy right in front of me had gotten very drunk on it before showing up.  As usual in things like that,  we were chivvied into line and had to stand around for another 15 or 20 minutes.  

    Well, after about 5 minutes of waiting that bozo started puking.  Great...the stench of stomach acid mixed with Southern Comfort.  Since then I've not been able to abide anything about Southern Comfort  .

    There is 4¼M of alcohol in each ounce. M? What the hell is a m? Milliliter? That would more likely say CCs, and why would it give metric amounts in an imperial amount?

     

    Probably for "minim," which is 1/60th of a fluid drachm.

  4. 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.

    Thanks for posting, those are some neat early bolt action rifles!  Since I collect US Military Longarms I have some early bolt action rifles and carbines that I will share with you.  Sorry this turned into a long post and history lesson.

     

    WOW!!!! Great stuff!  Thank you.

    So that’s the name for it. I have whiffled numerous times. Mostly when my motorcycle has gone one way and I have gone the other. Whiffling is usually followed up by something I call “Rag Dolling”. The combination of whiffling and rag dolling usually doesn’t end well. 

     

     

    You silly goose!

    Italian dressing  

    I dont want partial bottle sitting in my fridge until the Second coming, so I tend to roll my own when it comes to dressings. In this case I was making an italian pasta salad. a tossed salad to which the dressing is chef added, none of that "dressing on the side" stuff. I made the dressing which is typically 3:1 oil:vinegar except we went 2:1 with olive oil and apple cider vinegar

     

    Same here.  We think the 3:1 is too oily.  We might add lemon zest and juice in place of some of the vinegar. 

     

    Herbs are usually basil, oregano marjoram, thyme, microplaned garlic, a tiny pinch of pepper flakes, salt and pepper.   Usually.

  8. My wife loved her 92FS even though she has smallish hands.  I also liked it.  Reliable,  eats a variety of ammo without issues, easy to maintain.   

     

    Sig it's hard to go wrong with.   I've shot a Sig 9mm, but that was 20 years ago,  I don't recall the model,  but it was  pleasant to shoot. Only put 40 rounds through it,  so not much of a test. 

     

    But,  same as always,  what feels best in your hands?  If it doesn't feel right nothing else matters much.

    It is amazing how long that muscle memory lasts

     

    After about 10 years of driving a Chevy pickup with 4 on the  floor  (more like 3 on the floor plus a Granny Low 1st gear) with about 3 feet of throw between gears - OK, that's a bit of hyperbole,  but it was a lot of movement- I was looking for something else.  Went for a test drive in a little VW diesel something or other with a 5 speed transmission.   Only took about 3 inches of movement to shift.  1st to 2nd wasn't bad,  just straight down.   But trying to go 2nd to 3rd I hit 5th every time.
