Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Gun Control is where the criminals gather.

For years we have seen one after another of Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns (sic) being arrested. Usually the charges had to do with some sort of corruption. Now it seems that the Demanding Moms are wanting to join the party but with an “Illegal Senator”.

I was going to post about this, but John got it first and in the same vein I wanted to write about, so he gets linky love.

When assholes collide.

They eat their own and puke it right back.

When they threaten your life, take it seriously.

 

Unfortunately, that is in NYC where you are not only not allowed to carry the proper tools for self-defense but you will face “Justice” if you actually have to take action.

Time to migrate to places where the response to that is:

And then hope they are stupid enough to follow you.

AR9 drama continued.

So after taking in all the advice from the faithful readers, I think I am going to go with getting an upper that will work with the Spikes’ Tactical lower and move the barrel and the rest of the stuff from the Kaw Valley upper to this one.

I consulted with Spike’s and confirmed that comes with the necessary relief for the lower.  Next thing, raise the funds.

Anybody interested in a Kaw Valley Precision stripped upper?

The things I do for the missus.

I won that competition.

Some truth from Divemedic.

Joe Biden’s economy is claiming more victims. I have been saying that restaurants don’t just compete against each other, they compete against home kitchens. When it becomes too expensive to dine out, people begin cooking more at home. That is what it looks like is happening.

Warning Signs – Area Ocho

Even before I got into the whole getting healthier thing, I had pretty much given up on eating from the Food Franchises.  Maybe if I was in a hurry or out on the street busy, I dropped by a BK and get a meal. But after I decided to lose weight, we pretty much quit eating out, the only exception is a steak (for me) and shrimp (for the missus) meal when we need to just have a day out there.

Getting into BBQ/Smoking has saved us a lot of money. And I don’t even bother to grill burgers anymore because a slice of smoked meatloaf used as a patty beats the living daylights of any old burger. I do a smashing pulled pork that comes about $3.50 a pound and I haven’t even bothered calculating the price of ribs other than what they cost when bought.

And salads at restaurants? I usually do Caesar salad, but they charge up to $9 for 6 inch soup bowl while I can get a bag of ready Iceberg salad at Walmart for $3.14 and I can make at least 4 big 3-4 quart bowls out of it. The bottle of light Caesar dressing for $2.94 will usually last me for 2 bags salad or more.

Right now, there is half a pork loin (10 Lbs.) in the oven being roasted that we got at $2.10 a pound and we will probably get 6 to 8 meals out of it.  I also have several pounds Chili made which would be my most expensive protein, but I don’t have the costs a top of my hear. But you can bet it will be still cheaper than some mass-produced stuff out there.

Basically, other than having a date day with the missus, we have no reason to go to a fast-food joint.


PS: Pork loin done. Fat side up. My touch is to inject it with butter seasoned with salt and garlic. The outside gets whatever inspires me that day and bind with the excess butter coming out of the injections.
20 minutes on broil (10 per side) and then about an hour 15 at 325 or internal temperature of no more than 160. Then let it sit for 30 mins.

Slice thin for sandwiches.
