    Just finished my first build - emphasis on precision, and yeah, biggest single part purchase was the barrel - went with Criteron, and got a matched BCG from them at the same time. Shooting about MOA...

    Just got a Burris 1-6x (Burris Rt-6) on my AR-15, works well, good reviews. Very clear optics for the $300 range.

    Dreams was the song that got me started on them (I started listening around 1990) - I prefer Sammy Hagar, but get how iconic DLR was.

    Decided I'd peaked at the fatherhood job when my oldest at age...

    I go in phases - I'll go for a couple years without, then be in the tea habit (still start the day with coffee). I'd recommend loose leaf steeped in a measuring cup, and just use a mini strainer to...

    Been liking rye these days - old overhold is cheap but good for cocktails, bulliet is a bit better, but my favorite right now (and relatively nearby to me) is Sagamore Rye.

  • Pain in right glute right when relaxing/deloading at end of set (squats/deadlifts):

    Forget if I've posted here on this, thought I'd try - so this is a recurring issue I can't seem to figure out. Once I'm lifting over 185 in squats or 200-215 in deadlift, I'm prone to a twinge/sharp...

    Damn, eerily accurate. Was at a diner last weekend off of I-83, just inside the PA line between Baltimore and York, and there was some sort of greek influence there - free baklava with lunch entrees...

    DC itself is tough. If you can work outside the beltway somewhere that "supports DC", that gets you living farther out, and cheaper. Close to DC benefits on the weekend (museums, nightlife) while...

    Worth learning to use - once you have a good seasoning on it, cleanup is easy. Just need to remember to give it time to heat up evenly. For cleaning tips, had the best luck following Kent Rollins...

    As a homebrewer, the closest I can get was to a beer I did a few years back. I don't remember the exact measurements, and was going for flavor, not protein amount, but I used PB2 powder to try and...

    Good advice here - one of the best lessons learned from a public speaking course at community college years back was when we not only peer-reviewed, but did a self critique - we filmed our speeches...

    We like making bread too - couple things. If you have the patience and remember to keep it going, a sourdough starter is great. I love sourdough bread as it is, but a ladle of active sourdough...

    Can't look up the site from here, but the kits aren't a bad way to try out the process. One thing you could do, when it comes to kits like Mr. Beer, is get the kit, but swap out the included yeast...

    Nothing wrong with starting with a .22 and just enjoying punching holes in paper - just for the mental/physical challenge - I love that.

    Then there's the part about asserting your God-given...

    Love my Rock Island 1911. Mil spec, could use better sights installed, but fun to shoot, just as fun to take apart and clean - just love the simplicity of the design. For a 9mm, my beretta 92x...

    Good trailer. Overall, think TLK was better than Vikings. Both series took a hit when the main characters lost their foils (Ragnar and Athelstan, Uthred and King Alfred). S2 E3 of TLK has to be...

    Strangely, I'm in a waffle house "desert" - closest one is 45 min away from us, but there are 3 in a 10 mile straight line in MD, just off I-95 before crossing into DE. Double hash browns all the...
