Displaced Texan

Disappointing. I was hoping for something that goes boom. Have no fear, my wife bought sparklers. We will be the life of the party now....

While I despise Wal Mart, Mrs DT and I popped into our local one to pick up a few small items. To both of our shock, they were stocking boxes of fireworks on the shelves. Not sparklers and black snakes either...they had some pretty decent stuff!! The staff said that just last night, NJ legalized them.... I bet the hospitals will be flush with people blowing their fingers off!!

I'm off until Wednesday. Need the break. Been a stressful couple of weeks at work.

Mrs. DT suggested I ought to build another rifle (she's a keeper!!) to leave out at the ranch, as it's a pain to bring one every time we fly out. Since she insisted, I ordered a Mega Machine and Tool forged lower, and picked it up from the nice folks over at Centaur Arms in Lumberton. Upper will be a spare Colt 6944SE upper that was worked over by Ken Elmore at Specialized Armament. Probably toss an TA-31F ACOG on it. Perfect combo for a utility carbine out at the ranch, pig hunts, and whatnot. Have a lpk from ALG Defense with ACT trigger on the way. Looking forward to putting this one together. I've built several Mega lowers before, the quality of these is outstanding.

Pie for me please...

Somebody beat me to it...already been submitted to the Darwin Awards.

We should submit that for a Darwin Award....

If you want it cold without watering down your bourbon, there are solutions available.... https://whiskystones.com/

No fruit in beer, and no ice (or anything else, for that matter) in good bourbon. Anything else is simply uncivilized.

Suck it up, buttercup. Rub some dirt on it and power through.

I'm not much of a beer drinker, but spent most of last week (and part of next week) at Princeton installing some new equipment. Had lunch and a pint at the Triumph Brewery on Nassau Street. Excellent food, and a really nice IPA. The Amber Ale is outstanding too. Tonight was a tasting of a couple of local NJ wines from Valenzano. Chardonnay, and a Raspberry Riesling. The Resiling was a little sweet for me, but Mrs. DT was all over it.

Tastes exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It's awesome. Take a Angry Orchard cider, pour it in a pint glass, and pour in a shot of Fireball. Cinnamon Apple. Lovely on a hot summer day.

And it has a minty fresh scent, too!

Shoe polish will too.

Let me know

I've got an extra if you need it.

Hey, I resemble that remark...

Yeah....I'll be in my bunk.

Meaning one that may be used for 'social' occasions, like home defense.

A slight variation on my last... Father's Day dinner Cruciferous vegetables The dog thinks I stink. The disgusted look on her face is priceless.

What's good for the goose, is good for the gander!!
