Lot of times I grab something at the Salt Lick in the airport on my way out of Austin.
Stiles Switch BBQ is on Lamar on the NW side of Austin.
Donn's on 969 is where I usually go.

At a different house years ago, I think I had to use my promelt(2011 vintage) on a non-GFCI circuit, it's definately not on a GFCI now.
As you have learned, only 1 GFCI outlet is needed to protect...

Not true. My Dad was Army and in VN. He was confronted a few years later for wearing VN service ribbons/metals. Mom, bless her, had saved his copies of all his paperwork proving he had earned...

Aren't you supposed to seat the capsule or wad on top of the powder? That's how I've always done my shot loads- Powder in the case + push the capsule in till it sits on top of the powder.

I've eaten eggs as old as a few months, maybe 3 months or so. Never had to store long term as we had enough chickens to still have eggs through most of the winter. There were always a few girls...

Water glassing....I just learned something. Pickling sounds like a much better option.
I don't have chickens or ducks now.
You don't wash eggs until you are ready to use them. When you...

I miss the days when you could board a plane with a knife in each pocket (yes, 5 knives) and it wasn't even a concern of airport security.

I don't know if they are for sale in the US but Jocker Bio wads are fiber and would be much easier to glue to your slug. Drop a cork or felt wad inside, and it may have enough tail, which is what...

Doesn't brownells always display a discount banner on the home page?
Some people buy guns as investments, same as gold or silver. Take my buddy for instance, 77yo, he has several unfired firearms and he needs money. Last week I relieved him of a Win 9422, 1 of 500,...

You would think so............Doesn't CorBon claim to make the most lethal ammo known? Winchester Black Talon ammo was sooooo lethal that Winchester had to rename it to be less lethal.
