  1. Except the Blue Book values are typically out of date before it goes to the printer. Sold items on Gunbroker are a better gauge, especially nowadays. Went to the gun show in Kerrville on Saturday, and prices are up roughly 100% since a year ago. Junker Winchester Mod 12 with cut 19” barrel for $500, anyone? How about a 3rd Generation Glock 26 for $795 and no dealing? New world out there, but it seemed like a lot more looking than buying, perhaps more action in the parking lot......
  2. Hogfish B&G and El Siboney on Stock Island. Try the hogfish (duh!) and empanadas, respectively.
  3. Bullshit comments like that are exactly why I don’t go to steakhouses; I’ve given up on trying to teach wait people and line cooks their job. If you want medium rare or Pittsburgh blue, eat it that way; I want MEDIUM WELL, goddamit-and I’m buying mine!
  4. Dream Catcher Charters out of Key West—Island Jen can set you up, great boats and equipment.
  5. This! Chipseal must be pretty cheap, and it’s everywhere-loud and rough. Some TxDot aggy needs a baseball bat upside the head........
  6. Happy birthday! Mine, too-but I think I have bunch of Panhandle years on you- Those intro press conferences are interesting, hope we don’t have to parse another one for many years, Sark impressed me, too. Hell, I was all in on Strong and Herman both, so I obviously know nothing. All this defensive alignment talk is making my head hurt...............
  7. Rule of thumb: starter gun safe should be bigger than your current refrigerator.
  8. Money laundering. Don’t even ask.
  9. “Nicest gas station in Brownwood?” Does that mean no one was making meth in the back floorboard of their F150 while filling up? Yes, I’M local, and yes, I’ve seen this........
  10. Is that what you call a rhetorical question? Forget it, OC92-it’s Louisiana.
  11. Half-assed naoch, whisky, and regret
  12. Can I buy just one bite instead of a whole sandwich? Intriguing yet disgusting.
  13. My mouth is literally agape, but since both sauces are in my essential food groups, I may give it a try.............
  14. Closed on Sunday and Monday. I’ll report back..........
  15. I can be there in about an hour and a half-first i gotta see if they’re open on a Sunday........
  16. Bachman P&G-I bought a gun there, once. Once. Ray’s was (is?) an interesting place-first trip in there, 1978, I spent an hour talking with Ray and bought an oddball shotgun; he didn’t suffer fools gladly. Later manager was a real tall guy with shaved head and safari wardrobe-he was hard to deal with. Of course, in that business you get plenty of know-it-alls and weirdos coming through the door.
  17. Cassoulet, of all things, at a literal hole in the wall restaurant 3 or 4 blocks from the Musee d’Orsay, on my first trip to Paris. Peasant food, but it showed clearly what the French attitude toward perfection in cooking could produce-especially since I grew up on post-WWII convenience foods and chewy ranch beef
  18. Early in the day and now I’m craving Italian! The alcohol in the vodka solubilizes flavor components (polyphenols and others) from other sauce ingredients, don’t think anything in the vodka itself will much flavor the sauce. Inspirational cooking!
  19. Love those old ads! Neighbor highway patrolman gave me a stack of old Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, F&S, and American Rifleman in ‘61 or’62. Taller than I was. I memorized the damned things and probably spent a million fantasy bucks. Still wish I had a Broomhandle to learn how to disassemble/reassemble and fondle.
  20. thanks for the info, guys. I’ll now go look in the correct sub forum. I swear, us fucking noobs!
  21. McBride’s sucked in the 70’s. Now that i have a Rolex to rattle on the counter, sometimes I go in there just to fuck with ‘em.
  22. Any body got one of these patio/deck/backyard things? Is it actually smokeless to very low smoke? Should this go into “Hobbies” since burning stuff is actually a hobby of sorts..........
  23. Can”t resist being in 666. C”mon, CDC, get this right!
