    The "I was there" thread. A discussion about concerts you've attended.

    1979 I saw The WHO at the Hampton Coliseum, Hampton, VA. I was maybe 8 rows back from the stage.... Where I lost most of my hearing. Great show.

    Do your kids shoot?

    I taught both my daughters to shoot. The older one was a Navy nurse for 5 years. She asked me if she should try and qualify on the M9 and M16. I said sure I taught you how to shoot both of those... Two weeks later she calls and told me she qualified on both weapons. I think she made sharpshooter...

    The great nuclear hoax.

    My dad was project manager on two nuclear plant builds. If you could ever take the planned fear and hysteria fed to the public away, they can be amazing, clean long term power supply.... I'm afraid the fear has won out....

    Your take on what our (society) future looks like...

    Few people plan to fail...., however many people fail to plan...for the future, retirement, etc. I agree a lot of people made decent income, but pissed every nickel away as fast as possible..... Then ask "how come I'm broke"?. I was never a financial genius, but I was always scared shitless...

    Thats about what I read... It was cook to 180, wrap in foil and cook to about 205, then remove and let it sit for about an hour. I'm shooting for moist that doesn't dry out 20 minutes after it's pulled apart.

    There was a discussion recently about smoking a pork butt/shoulder... Time and temp. Was it in Motivational section.?? Remember talk of wrapping at 180 degrees and placing in a cooler for an hour.... Thanks.

    Ok, I've done the 205-210 brisket with a soft probe.... Initial cut is juicy then it seems like 15 minutes later it is dry..... Tell me how to get one that is and stays juicy. Thanks.

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    I stuttered most all my life and still do some now... I didn't like the harassment, but never thought of shooting anyone. Just par for the course of being "different". Different has it's downside...

    Curiosity Test.. Brake VS No Brake and Expander VS No Expander

    Oh, I wish I could... Long time ago I shot 1000 yard matches for 5 years.... Now limited to 100 yards... Pretty sad. With this setup I need to find some benchrest matches... Love to shoot this against the benchrest guys.

    Curiosity Test.. Brake VS No Brake and Expander VS No Expander

    The best group was no expander and no brake. I'll shoot that combo again and see if it hangs in there.
