I eat more or less everything

Been buying more beef since Rihmfire posted the sauerbraten recipe

92&94

hardly any beef is sold frozen in the stores here, which is what it would take for NZ beef. McDonalds can buy frozen patties about anywhere though. There is almost no frozen meat sold anywhere. Almost all stores now get their meat frozen, and then thaw it before placing it out on display for sale. ...

Argentina is also a big beef producer. Locally, we're paying around $5-10/lb depending on cut. Tenderloin is about the only one that is going over that range. A lot depends on where you buy and how good it is. I suspect that imported beef is going into hamburger for chain suppliers - hardly any beef...

In my box of drafting stuff is a slide rule, probably my dad's. I never had much inclination to figure it out, but now I almost do

After years and years of math, trig is the only thing I've used regularly outside of school

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c356/chuckleininger/IMG_1152.jpg That's pretty cool. Where do you get the stuff (like axles and mounts and bearings, etc.) to make stuff like that...? VXB is a good supplier. I think they sell on Amazon as well as through their own site, so that may well be where t...

Wearing the leather isn't something that would concern me. Wearing that sharp edge where the wood meets the buttplate WOULD concern me a lot however. That is a very delicate edge that takes a lot of time and effort to fit properly Here is such an edge that is perfectly fitted to the plate. Then rai...

A piece of leather, added under the butt plate, and secured by those screws. You can use leather lace to secure the tail end of the sling to the leather strip. This can easily be removed after the season, and it's easy to install each fall. Old No7 Oh, that's a really good idea, I really like it. T...

Funny, I just sold the only AR-15 I've ever owned

They're just not my thing, though I can't fault anyone for liking them - they go bang like most everything else.

I keep forgetting that you're in the south end of the mountains. Must be easier to get down to 54 than all the way over to Cloudcroft and down to Alamo from there. I guess that even rules out crating them up and sticking them in a storage locker in Alamo. I remember you mentioning that the control p...

You're right that the line at a checkpoint is no place to debate your rights - while you could one day prevail in court, why go to all that hassle if you needn't? One option is to take the more northern route back to Phoenix - takes a bit longer but there are no checkpoints. A less practical option ...

The nice thing is that all the traffic passes you, so you don't notice if the highway is crowded. Makes for a long day though

I drove it through the Salt River Canyon once.... luckily the gearing is nice and low

Heck, you should have told me... got just the truck for you...

Gets about 8 mpg at 45, drops to 4 if you go faster

Split rims too

Looks like you are ready for a career in federal procurement

Pretty depressing to have to do it... but maybe for the best in the long run. Hope it goes ok for you.

Earlmck's new ride?!

Actually, it took 25 years, + two hours. This guy actually dispatched his victims fairly quickly, gunshots to the chest in both cases. I remember this, it happened in Tucson shortly after I moved there. On the one hand, I agree that if we are going to put people like this to death, it should be done...

I found one of those little planes in an estate sale. I cleaned it up and made a few shavings with it, just to see it work. It is for decoration now. Maybe you can provide some instruction during the dove hunt. Should be in September? There's a shop in Mesa that makes planes, and sells those little...

I've used loose diamond on copper plates now and then, and Nickel bonded diamond when I had it. If time were a huge factor - like for pro sharpening - that's what I would do. The buffing set up is just making use of what is already here

I have a few oil stones that I use with WD-40 - basically kerosine that smells ok. Coarse one is an aluminum oxide stone, the other two are Arkansas stones. If I'm in a hurry, like with a stainless kitchen knife that will soon be dull again, I either use just the coarse stone or hit it with the benc...

When I watched that blacksmith and his crew make that knife from a RR spike, he had a sign that said " I buy black sand " Black sand is a by product of gold mining, something I have in abundance. You Tube has an interesting video of this process, quite delicate in initiation; but apparent...

OK, I am not ready yet; but a trip is in order this year. There is a place in Oregon we can get walnut blanks from. I like this guy for blanks too: http://www.clarowalnutgunstocks.com/ Owner is getting on in years, so he now only likes to ship 2-3 blanks at a time. He'd still ship a pallet a just f...

I am a little confused about the rottenstone. I thought that was used to lightly sand the finish to make it glossy. Are you saying you actually mix it with the linseed oil and let it fill in the pores? There are three grades available, 2F tripoli, 4F tripoli, and rottenstone. The tripolis are pumic...

That Rossi m92 rifle of mine needs walnut and a shorter fore end. Then my old rusty 1894 rifle could use new wood too, though until I reblue it, a nice stock is going to look like lipstick on an old rifle :lol: Drop me a line if you're headed to the ranch this summer. I'm kinda stuck here taking car...

There are lots of ways to finish wood, the important criteria for deciding how are what you want for end results and how much time you want to spend. Tru oil is ok stuff, but not great. It's marketing success lies in its being easy to get consistent results with it, and coming in bottles small enoug...

I believe you can shoot them here too - fur bearing predator, like a coyote. I believe "fur bearing" is to distinguish from birds of prey, just in case some idiot wanted to shoot an eagle. I see one around here now and then, but not what I would call often. There was one sighted several ti...

That's what makes the south of Picacho Peak area of I-10 a death trap. Lots of dust and people driving 85 to 90 mph in it.

It won't hurt a spring to leave it loaded. Springs wear through years and years of cycling or over extension. Most compression springs can't be compressed enough to damage them, though there are probably a few exceptions to that. If unloading the springs gives people peace of mind, by all means do i...

Is the guy really advocating the use of birdshot as a home defense shell?

I'm pretty skeptical of his logic on the shot pattern, though if he were using buckshot I guess I could see it. I would still suggest sticking with the tighter pattern of a choked barrel or at least a cylinder bore.

92&94

That blends right in sixgun, looks great.

Malamute, most I've seen with two rings were those special order long barrels. I did see pics of one with a 26" barrel and two rings. Might look goofy though on a 20".

92&94

Those do look a lot better.

I think initially I'll just make a plug for the slot and blue it. Still might do the second mag ring too. Chiappa lists parts for their 92, I could probably use one of those.

92&94

Yeah, same here, $20 or so at a big box store. But that was at least a couple years ago, maybe more.

92&94

Thanks for the lengths, that will help. I believe I'm going to go with the shorter one. The wood on that rifle is so badly done that I figure as long as I'm replacing it I may as well fix the forend length too. I'm considering making the forend easier to remove as well. The obvious drawback to doing...

92&94

Some kind of cedar, not sure which

Most trees are those here, then maybe 20% pinon - and dropping fast - and about 2-3% alligator juniper. There are also a few stands of ponderosa in high spots and northern slopes, but it's mostly too low in elevation for them.

92&94

One thing I would like to change about the Rossi M92 I have is that long forend. Seems like the original Winchesters had much more pleasing proportions of barrel length to forend length. Trouble is, of course, that there is the forend tenon in there, it would have to be relocated and the original do...

Found it in lower corner finally, 66% (1233) against more gun control when I hit it 34% (633) for more control. That goes to show that 1/3 of the population are sheep. :| Nah, means that 1/3 of cnn readers are sheep. Same poll on Fox's website would probably come back about 95% for less gun control.

Some people get the rural west, and many do not. Even some who grew up here in what passes for cities don't get it.

Some transplants - like myself, decades ago - seem to fit right in as soon as they show up and get along with everyone they meet.

Molten lead has such a low vapor pressure that I think the risk from lead fumes is indeed vastly over-rated. Same goes for flux fumes, though that does get more complicated, and heck, they're nasty in their own right so I avoid breathing them anyway. Precautions like pot temp and ventilation are alw...

These cartridges have been in this leather wallet for at least 5 years with no corrosion or verdigris developing. I guess it's all about the tanning process. I expect it has to do with relative humidity, or lack there of. Even if there are residual acids or bases in the leather from tanning, they d...
