Displaced Texan

Nice write up, Glen. I enjoy doing the ‘how to’ cooking threads. In the near future, I’m gonna show you guys how to make home made sausage.....

Nice job! Save me a bowl! recipe??

I think that was AB. Eh, I prefer the masa flour/beer slurry.

So does yours. Hell, try it! Let me know how that works out.

This is what I use. It’s a very fine masa flour and makes a great slurry.

I’ve always used white, so I don’t know if the yellow will add a different flavor. Use about a 1/2 cup of mass flour, and mix in enough beer to make a slurry. Stir that into the chili. For beer, I use a Yuengling, or a Shiner Bock. You really don’t need to simmer all that long...I usually wind up doing it for a few hours to ensure the meat is tender.

Yep, you’re right, it goes to the grave with me. Mrs Tex doesn’t even know it. That looks really tasty! I’m anxious to see the ‘how to’! Personally, I like to make a thin paste from masa flour and beer. It tightens it up, and adds a really nice flavor to the chili. Personal preference, your mileage may vary!

Crossbow.

Howdy, welcome to the forum.

Howdy, and welcome!

Squirrel IS pretty tasty. Don’t tell the squirrels that eat out of my hand, though. They might get offended.

Agree. I don’t think it’s gonna go they way they planned.

I know this forum has fellow Star Wars nerds and collectors here, so I thought I’d offer this to you guys first. Otherwise, it goes to a collectors shop. This is a limited edition, Star Wars X-wing fighter by Icons. The famous ‘Red 5’ X-wing fighter, piloted by Luke Skywalker. The model is what as known as ‘studio scale’, in other words, it’s the same size, and detail, as the original filming miniatures used to film the movie. The model itself is approximately 20” long, and 18” wide. Icons cast these in resin, and the model was cast off the original ‘pyro’ x-wing models. These were the ones that were blown up in the movie. Because the castings came from the original molds, it has direct lineage to the movie. It is magnificently detailed. It’s mounted on a ‘Death Star’ base, and has an acrylic cover for protection. The entire piece measures 23” long x 20” wide. It’s impressive, and would make an incredible display in a media/theater room, or game room. Icons produced these under license from Lucasfilm in 1997, for the 20th anniversary of Star Wars. There were 1977 made, celebrating the year Star Wars was released. This is number 550 out of that edition. It’s in good condition, the model and the base are very good, the acrylic case has typical scratches and cracks from moving around over 20+ years. It has a certificate of authenticity from Icons. This is an extraordinarily cool piece, and it needs a new home. I’m selling it because I’m terrified it would get damaged in the move to Texas. $750, or make me a reasonable offer. Local pick up in Stratford, NJ, 08084, as it would be a nightmare to ship without damaging it. I’m happy to take more pictures, upon request. Per forum rules, the first one to say ‘I’ll take it’ in the thread, followed by a PM, gets it.

The Modern Material 11.5” the OP is referring to is considered an ‘other’ firearm, and it is legal in NJ.

Depends on how quickly the NJ NICS check goes through.

I use one of these on my Colt LE901. https://opticsthoughts.com/?page_id=153 It’s a pretty decent all around optic (my purpose is mostly hog hunting), the reticle is very useful, but a bit ‘busy’. That’s what happens when you try to be all things to all people. It IS pretty functional, once you get used to it. I like the concept of it, just a little busy for my tastes. It’s worth a look. They make 2 scopes, one is a 1-6x, the other is a 1x10x. I have the 1x10x...it’s a good optic, with pretty decent glass, but it’s Chinese made. The 1-6x is Japanese made, and it a bit better quality. If I had to buy one these two again, I’d buy the 1-6x.

I think I posted this awhile back, but this is a better shot of the Colt LE901 Modular Carbine.

Howdy, and welcome to NJGF.

I’ll also sell these as 500 round lots. $50 per 500. Capitol cartridge sells them for $50 per 250, as seen below.
