    AeroPress coffee

    I’m thinking of switching to buying whole beans and grinding them myself. I was not expecting such a broad range of grinders out there for sale. The only thing I know to look for is a burr grinder. What other features should I be looking for? I don’t have a super refined sense of taste. I don’t...

    AeroPress coffee

    I did 2 cups yesterday. I’m guessing it might be the coarse grind, but on the first one most of the water seeped through in the 2:30 steep time. I did the second one inverted just to avoid that problem. I thought the first cup might be weak because of that, but there was only a little...

    Try using a dremmel. Works really well.

    AeroPress coffee

    I’ll give that a try. I think I’ll also have to adjust my drinking habits a bit. Right now I make a pot, put about a third in a travel mug that keeps it hot a long time and the rest in a thermos for the day. I do this even when I’m working from home. The travel mug holds just under 20 ounces...

    AeroPress coffee

    My AeroPress just arrived. Instructions are.... lacking. The instructions seem to suggest only 10 seconds for steeping the coffee. That seems way too short? I’m not setup for weighing everything, so it’s going to be scoops of coffee and ounces of water. The coffee is from what’s the buzz...

    I hate flying

    About 15 years ago I was flying out of Binghamton, small airport. Early flight. All seats at the gate are facing the window except 1 row of seats against the window. Plane full of people facing the window. In walks a family of 2 legged groundhogs. Mother, daughter, and daughter’s baby, and a guy...

    Gunsmithing Argentino Mauser question

    Thanks. I already suggested he sell it and buy a modern rifle in a modern chambering. But his dad hunted with it 60 plus years ago, so it has some sentimental value to him. He can’t find any markings on it indicating the chambering. Maybe that wasn’t done 100 plus years ago? Now the problem...

    Gunsmithing Argentino Mauser question

    I know nothing about mausers. A friend inherited one. Argentino model 1891. It has matching serial numbers on action, barrel, and stock, so it appears all original. No idea when or where it was made. A quick search indicates that they were all chambered in 7.65x53. Is this correct? A local gun...

    Precision Rifle Gear Will we ever seen an all steel chassis?

    We had a match director here that made you carry everything you brought all day long. And you started each stage with everything in your pack and wearing your pack. Made you think about what you really needed.

    AeroPress coffee

    That much better than French press? Do you guys really make your coffee one cup at a time?

    Hunting camo

    Years ago it was easy to find blaze orange with camo breakup on it. Now, only sweatshirts. And what I want is a goretex shell that I can layer under as needed. It makes no sense buying a camo jacket and then having to put a blaze orange vest over it to be legal? The vest just becomes a pain...

    My Dog

    Sorry for your loss. Their time with us is always too short. We had to put our dog down in March, just now starting to look for another rescue. The house is empty without a dog in it.
