    Buying a new Pistol

    Ive always told the wife, if she's going to pull the trigger, keep pulling till it clicks. .22 is enough with a full magazine in a walther.

    Maximum Return on Investment- The Supermarket

    I know I'm blessed, but I live on a beef cattle farm, so the beef is no problem. The neighbors raise "milk" so there's an endless supply of milk as long as I keep a supply of cheese or steaks on hand. Another neighbor raises chickens: fresh eggs & dead roosters occasionally.

    Guess I otra post up for the REAL (SWVA) VA

    Firefighter, for the good ole US Forest Service. Mostly in management & RX burning, although I am on a Type I Incident Management Team. It keeps me gone away from home a lot.

    Partial Mash as first brew?

    My wife ordered my brewing kit for me several Christmas' past, and love her heart, got a PM batch. When I (the *******) re-ordered 3 all grain kits (b/c the last kits had grains right?) they arrived & I set out to brewing. After about 30 minutes in HBT chat & a trip to the hardware store, I...
