Sisco

Parents lived above LaSelva Beach for a couple of years, then moved to Watsonville. Used to go out and visit them as much as I could back then. My mother was dieing of lung cancer, my Dad had prostate cancer so I tried to come out and help them as much as I could. Maragaritaville was a good place to hang out, watch the creek, the pier and every one walking around, when I could get away. My Mom died about a year after the quake, and my Dad moved back to Minnesota six months later. Went back in 2010 to attend the spreading of my sister in law’s ashes and stayed at that bright painted hotel across the creek from Margaritaville. Pretty run down by then.

Whole downtown collapsed. Was fenced off for two years. Loved the pier area of Capitola. My sister-in-law had her ashes spread under that pier. Drank quite a few times at Margaritaville. Who knows we might have been there the same time.

Parents were in Watsonville for that one, near the epicenter. NW of Monterey

No choice on that one. Had a similar one up here a couple of years ago. Then of course the mother, who didn’t raise her kid who attacked the deputies (the grand parents did) files a wrongful death lawsuit against the county.

My challenge is I buy a half a cow at a time from a local farmer and have my butcher cut it up and package it. Steaks and ground beef are easy, the lower quality cuts I am constantly looking for different ways to cook them. Arm roasts, for instance, can be a little stringy, so I thin cut them while partially frozen, marinate them in lemon juice, olive oil and greek spices. The lemon juice helps break down the connective tissue to make them less tough. I then put the slices on high heat on the grill to give them a bit of a crust while staying juicy. I serve then with home made Tzatiki sauce, with grilled onions and red peppers and feta cheese on pita bread. A lazy man’s beef gyro. Or I do the same, but substitute Adobo, and assorted chiles for the greek spices, substitute salsa or a homemade taco sauce for the Tzatiki, and burritos for the pita, and have Mexican bistec. What my butcher calls soup bones, I broil or grill and serve them as marrow bones with crostini, sea salt, and pepper. Beef short ribs I braise or or smoke. Chuck roasts I smoke, or slow cook with Italian spices and tomato's to make a dish very similar to Osso Bucco.

With ammo, you get what you pay for. My cheap 149 gr ammo now collects dust. Get some decent match ammo or start reloading.

I use that same ammo. Will DC it. Thanks.

it was good, not great, guessing Shepps was better. Did three racks of ribs for the 4 th. Had company, got busy, and forgot pictures, but they were really good. Doing a brisket next week for a friends retirement party. I did try something yesterday for a really good barbeque sauce if you don’t have time to make it from scratch. Mix equal parts Sweet Baby Rays and Stubbs Orginal Barbeque Sauce together. Is far superior to either one alone.

No specific link. I will key on a link to bring me to a specific thread, and about 20% of the time I get the “misdirected request” message. No one else seems to be getting it, so who knows? Might be my hardware or something.

I can see 98 doing this as a kid.

Welcome back!

When I go to link a particular thread, I am getting the misdirected request message a lot. Then I need to reaccess the forum. Also, I now get automatically logged off. Which is fine. Actually some good security reasons for that. The sponsors also are very slow in poppoing up when I log in.

RIP Lee.

Fuk yeah! Let’s do it!

Answered what you should try already for 1 in10 barrels. Also M118LR Lake City is similar.

Let me know how you like it.

Not going to compete with you beer aficianados, but this one I really like. Castle Danger consistently wins awards as Minnesota’s top brewery. And their cream ale is nice! Malty and smooth with a hint of bitterness but a refreshing finish.

Shooting with Wolf steel case you can’t expect accuracy. The Russians manufacture it cheap for a reason. PPU from the Serbs will be better. Try some 175 gr Federal Gold Metal Match with a relaxed rate of aimed fire at longer distances. Then after you shoot, and put away the rifles, Red’s idea is outstanding.

Can very well happen. Are both barrels the same profile? One is free floated and one is not. Any differences in accuracy degradation between the two? And what is your rate of fire and what projectiles are you using. Weight and design.

More truth than you know.

An excellent read. And I do know self selectors who do not want the responsibility gun ownership entails.

Keep it up Shepp! Finally joined Snap fitness up here, so I am weight training in both Florida and Wisconsin. I am hiking 3.4 miles a day through a Nature preserve and road behind my house. Next step is alternate days biking and days walking.Have a new core exercise I really like. Take a 20-30 pound kettle weight, stand with legs spread. Bend and reach down as far between and behind your legs with it as you can, holding it in both hands. Then raise it up as high above your head as you can. 4 sets of 10, and I guarantee you will feel it!

Much respect for our neighbors up north. You create the best snipers in the world. You gotta be doing something right!

Outstanding!
