    Heck, I was coming home, to Canada and was almost subjected to a strip search by my own Canadian Borders Services(?) because I was wearing a firearm related ball cap!!

    They emptied all my luggage and really went over the lining.

    Meanwhile, huge shipping containers, originating in the PR of China, where ammunition, clones of ARs, SIG, Walther, Browning, etc. are made by NORINCO they don't have enough staff to search more than 1/4 of 1% of the containers entering our country. 

    (Nothing to see here, Move along)

    A coworker of mine was wearing a suit on a work related flight from Los Angeles to Sacramento. He had this tie clip that looked like a Colt 1858 revolver. He got treated like he was a big threat with that little tie clip. 
    He was interrogated long enough to miss his flight. He had to wait 2 or 3 hours for another flight. 
    The tie clip was a gift from his kids. The TSA brain-trust took it. 
    I found another one at Knott’s Berry Farm and bought it for him so his kids wouldn’t know it was taken from him. 
    Knott’s Berry Farm is an amusement park that used to be based on an Old West theme.

    A friend of mine coming back from Mexican had his van inspected at the Mexican checkpoint in Tijuana. He went to Mexico to buy leather products to sell at a swap meet. 
    A Mexican police officer told him to open the rear of the van and lo and behold there was one .22 LR cartridge. 
    They unloaded his van and stripped it. Seats, panels, everything. They found nothing else. 
    He was given a $100 fine, I believe and told to go home and don’t come back. 
    He was told if they had found more ammo he would have gone to jail for a long time. 
    He had to put his van all back together by himself and someone lifted his tool box. 
     

    He never went to Mexico again. 
     

    Me, I would have never gone to begin with. Too many horror stories about Mexico. 
     

    EXIT: Also, I never use range bags or backpacks for travel. That is just asking for trouble.

    The Trunk Monkey

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    I had a woman I worked with convinced that she could buy a trunk monkey from the Suburban Auto Group. I convinced her to call them. She did. She was not as amused as the lady that answered the phone was. 
    I got a lot of dirty looks for a few days. Probably because every time she glared at me I burst into laughter. 
     

    She was and maybe still is a brunette.  ;)

    They might if the description is correct that they were for the bay of pigs invasion as that was before 30 round AR mags were prominent and the m14 was still common.  

    There are 2 different pouches. One with 3 pockets and one with 6. 
     

    Here is the 3 pocket one:

    This bag looks interesting. I may get one myself. 
    I have tactical gun bags made by US Peacekeeper. They have mag pouches that will hold 2-30 round AR-15 mags. They also hold a 20 round AR-10 (.308) magazine each.

    ITEM DESCRIPTION FROM LINK:

    Olive Drab Green.
    This quick deployment bag is the perfect bag for the shooter on the move.

Features two side utility pockets which feature outside MOLLE Straps for additional gear. Three front magazine pockets can carry two .223 caliber 30rd Magazines in each pocket, for a total of 6.

    cooking question

    Cooking thermometers are your friend.  As a guesstimate, with nothing else to guide me, I would cook the reduced size dish to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.  At least I would be sure it was hot enough to kill any pathogens (bacteria, viruses, fungal spores, and parasites) that might be present.  And I could use that attempt to guide future cooking parameters.

    Exactly! I was pretty much going to say the same thing. 
     

    If I am making something that normally would take an hour but I halved it at 40-45 minutes I would check the temp. Nearly every time it is done in 3/4 of the normal recipe time at the very same temperature. 

    ADDING: I want to try lasagna in my smoker. Pizza in a smoker is fantastic.

    Biometric Locks

    in SASS Wire Saloon

    Posted

    I have owned 3 different safes that had the fingerprint option. Not one of them worked with my thumb or finger print. I tried everything recommended in the manuals. They just wouldn’t work for me. They worked okay for my wife, just not me.
    Fortunately they also had combination locks on them that worked just fine. I no longer have two of those safes. I kept one that also utilized RFID (that doesn’t work) a key and a combination lock. 


    Electronics that detect fingerprints are fickle. If you get it to work with your finger when dry and at a nominal room temp the sensor may not work if your hand is wet and cold, wet and hot, dry and really hot or cold. I had an iPhone that opened with a finger print. It was only reliable if my hands were dry and warm.

     

    Unless technology has advanced that dramatically in the last 5 years I would not bet my life on a bio lock. Period. Even if it has advanced I wouldn’t.
