We went down to NOLA for my brothers wedding in December. Me and the missus took a cooking class at the New Orleans School of Cooking. One of the dishes they taught us was red beans and rice. I've since made it twice and let me tell you it is delicious. The beans go over the rice normally but in...

I saw the Bob Hope show in Cam-Ranh Bay in 1968. At the time I was stationed up in the highlands at Ban-Me-Thuot. We were a forward support maintenance detachment from the 129th Maintenance Company in Nha-Trang. There were thirty or so of us living in a big sandbag covered hootch we built...

Spiny leafed sow thistle - Sonchus asper - Native to Europe. Get rid of it. It will take over.

Today I happened by my sort of local (30 mile trip) gun super store. They had 500 rd bricks of Aquila for $59.95. I chuckled to myself. Just last week I bought a 400 rd brick of American Eagle from Cabelas for $23.95.

I've recently acquired a collection of 22 rimfire. I sorted and cataloged the lot and am down to three head stamps I can't match to a manufacturer. Anyone know these?

I'm a Viet Nam veteran. I've been wearing my boonie hats for years. I came home with two and my sister, also a veteran, got me one years ago from actual supply. They're all pretty sad looking now and I can't seem to find real ones. Got one at the local surplus store in camo but it's just not the...

Chill it really good, put it in a collins glass with a slice of lime on the edge and pretend.

I had my first one back in April. The cleanse is indeed the worst part of the process. Did they prescribe the magnesium citrate + laxative regimen or the gallon of some other stuff? I had the mag cit lax one and it really cleaned me out. If you do the mag cit be sure to refrigerate it well...

Back in March I decided I wanted to get rid of my winter belly before biking season started. I joined the local Charter fitness and started doing an hour a day Monday through Friday on a treadmill. Now that it's warm enough to cycle I just go on the rainy days. So I've gone from 201 pounds down...

My average would be skewed by the Mossberg 500 I bought in 1983 and didn't fire till 2011. Every other firearm would have been fired within days of purchase if not immediately on taking possession.

This ^ Plus I joined a few years ago and couldn't believe all the begging I got just after joining. It came to a head one Sunday night at 8:00 when I got a phone call for a one time emergency donation. I asked for a supervisor and when he came on the line I said "Shame on you! It's Sunday...

I see what you did there.

I got called three years ago. Sat all morning with no jury calls at all. Got sent to lunch and came back. Five minutes after sitting back down my block number got called. Taken down to a courtroom in the criminal division. Case was for aggravated discharge of a firearm at an occupied vehicle...

One of their favorite foods is ants. If they're on your house I'd inspect for carpenter ants.

Maybe retrofit to flintlock.
