    If It Wasn't For Bad Luck...

    Lemme tell ya about bad bad luck. I could have a lotto ticket and the only numbers in the machine were the ones on my ticket. I'd still lose lol.

    Most of us who witnessed the live coverage of the attacks unfolding will never forget.

    Charlie Kirk shot : update and killed

    The irony is that Charlie Kirk has always given people with opposing views a platform to speak. I've only seen anyone get shut down if they would not hush long enough for him to address what they had said.

    Remembering 9/11

    Thankyou. It's all good. He's been gone a few years now. Still am in regular contact with his little brother. Back when their momma and daddy were still alive, I sorta became part of their family, and an older brother to the boys.

    Some crappy stuff happens here at times, but this side of heaven, there is no place better in the world to live.

    Remembering 9/11

    I remember exactly where we were working when the attacks came. My crew and another of our crews were working in a very upscale neighborhood pruning trees. All of a sudden, the lady of the house my crew was working at came out the front door screaming, "Get down out of those trees, Terrorists...

    Charlie Kirk shot : update and killed

    Once upon a time, they locked up mentally ill people to keep them from harming those around them. These days, it takes an act of God to lock these harmful people away.

    Charlie Kirk shot : update and killed

    I was going to say much the same., Adam. It is a despicable act to assassinate someone you disagree with for political reasons no matter which side of the aisle you are on. Let's not turn this thread into a political debate and leave this thread to honor a man who was gunned down for his...

    What's going on with delivery companies?

    I once had a package that did 3 tours around the country before making it to me.

    Hearing aids?

    As an added perk, a lot of the modern hearing aids will pair with a phone so they double as earbuds. One of my stepsons has such a set, but they only work with I phones.

    Disco isn't dead. Smoked Coppa

    It is absolutely fantastic to see you posting again, Disco! I have, for a long time wondered what happened to you. After your wife's passing, you just disappeared.

    Older Scope mount help!

    An impact driver may work if you can secure the rifle in a fixed position while whacking it with a hammer.

    Question about Bacon cure recipe?

    It's just perfectly balanced, salt to sugar. For my taste, anyhow.

    Question about Bacon cure recipe?

    I do cuing only in metric because the calculations are much more simple. I also just do my own calculations rather than using an online one. Calculating percentages is pretty basic, especially using grams. Your 12.416 pound slab is 5632 grams. My formula for bacon is: 0.25% cure%1 (this never...

    OJ Highland Fire Management

    Yep, leave the stack fully open and control the fire at the intake. Don't get too wound up with some temp swings either direction. Trying to hold it to a tight temperature range will have you forever screwing with vent openings and pulling your hair out in the process. Let it swing in either...

    I was speaking of well seasoned wood that had taken on moisture from the humidity in the air. I believe pre-heating will dry most of that moisture out. Obviously, it isn't going to do much for wood that's still green.
