Making a big Dutch pot of Zuppa Toscana tonight, one of my favorite soups. This is with Moose Italian Sausage, bacon, onion, garlic, chicken broth and kale. The Tuscan soup is a close copy from the Olive Garden.

In the fall we'll make the recipe, vacuum pack and freeze it for quick meals in hunting camp. Different gourmet dishes all through elk season.

Hope that search history will not do targeted ad.

[ray1970]

Pho King millennials.

Trying to watch some YouTube videos with vehicle reviews in an attempt to narrow down options for my wife?s next vehicle and I can?t get through an entire review before any of these kids lose credibility.

So, you?d pick this one over that one because of the location of the USB ports?

Or this is the better vehicle because you think the exhaust tips look better?

The black badges, roof rack, and 20? wheels make it a top pick in its class?

I need to see some old geezer reviews. You know, where they actually discuss how the vehicle rides, drives, handles and performs.

Or maybe I should just buy something with well placed USB ports and a cool roof rack so it will be easier to sell to some stupid millennial down the road.

[CS1983]

I’m an early generation millennial and I buy based on mechanical longevity, primarily. Which means I buy Japanese. I don’t care about USB ports, etc. I want the best MPG I can get for performance and mechanical longevity combined with interior space. Pursuant to that, we have a 2000 LX470 and a 2016 Odyssey. :)

Upon further review, the flake at DMV misspoke on "classic plates"...that's all based off of CCCA standards which is only up to model year '48. What he meant to say was "vintage" plate, and it only has four slots for personalizing. Fvck.

I read that as well. I never knew there was such a thing as an"emergency goalie" that was available for both teams. I figured the team would have to suit up a player that had experience playing goalie in high school before moving to another position or something.

I was also thinking that playing goalie is tough on the knees and 42 was a bit seasoned for that.

Just had some dry needling done on my shoulder. Slightly different experience than I was expecting. I had heard hurts during, feels better after. I was thinking immediately after, like a massage. It actually hurts much more immediately after. The pain crescendos into a unique symphony of ALL your sore areas at once, at a level above the initial injury. I suspect it will feel a lot better in a few hours though.

I hope it works for you. Didn't really do anything for me.

Already feels way better. Just normal dull pain of general muscle soreness at this point.

Some sort of acupuncture?

Similar, but deeper. Basically jab a needle right into the muscle. The way I understood it is that you are 1) loosening up the tightness of miracles that are healing, and 2) aggravating the muscles to promote more healing. Hardly even notice it now.

The needling may also be accompanied with electric stimulation.

On another note, I got that Trooper running. Not the one I posted about before. After I figured out the engine needs rebuilt on that one, I went and bought another non-running Trooper and got that one running. I currently own six vehicles.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look as good in person. The top can be taken off, but it's not like a Jeep where it's meant to be taken off easily. Also, you have at least twice as many kids as I do and I can tell you it'd be too small.

Because Amazon sends an email right after delivery soliciting the review. People are too dumb to realize they don't have to respond. Even worse are the "I don't know" answers to questions. Same twits.

I was looking at some LED light on Amazon, and 4 of the 5 featured answers were the same guy named Chris W bitching about how they weren't water proof, and the company doesn't stand behind the warranty. Even on questions that had nothing to do with being water proof. I submitted a question of "Would these be a good light for a guy named Chris W?" Now I've had a few people responding to that question. Heh.

Yeah, that's what I got. I just cleared cookies and cache and now I'm back.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GREAT KAZOO!


May you have as many more of those as you wish.

Thanks folks.

[Great-Kazoo]

Same. Think they quit making mine years ago. Guess if I ever decide to get into that long range precision stuff I should probably upgrade.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200227/aa744a8878c8d536630198c8857e9548.jpg

Upgrade? Looks like that one works off an earthlink dial up.

Happy Birthday, Man !

Hope you had a great day yesterday GK, mine was pretty much the crappiest day i have so far this year. Had to put down my 14 year old corgi, had him since he was 3 weeks old.

[buffalobo]

Hope you had a great day yesterday GK, mine was pretty much the crappiest day i have so far this year. Had to put down my 14 year old corgi, had him since he was 3 weeks old.That's terrible news, sorry to hear. Condolences bro.

[Irving]

That's no good. Sorry you had to go through that.

[Mazin]

Thanks guys. Its Not the first rodeo but its getting harder the older I get. He was a damn good pup and very low maintenance, just make sure he has food and can snuggle in bed and he was gtg. My Jack has been super clingy and I'm just not sure if we will end up getting another brother for him.

[Erni]

If anyone has a better obd scanner that can do german cars, I could use to borrow it today, please pm me

[Gman]

Sorry to hear about your doggo, Mazin.

[ChickNorris]

Mazin, truly sorry your friend passed away.

[Erni]

Sorry to hear about your puppy Mazin.
That sucks.

[Mazin]

Thank you guys and gals. Its just Crazy how fast time goes

[MrPrena]

Watching Frozen II on a DVD with my daughter.
At least that is what I can do for her getting a perfect attendance at school for this school year.

I thought you were done with that car?

Have you tried to get on audiworld, quattroworld, or vwvortex, etc. and find someone up in your area that has a VAG-COM aka VCDS (Ross-Tech) setup?

[brutal]

Sorry to hear about your pup Mazin. Sucks losing a beloved pet.

[Mazin]

Thanks brutal.

[Mazin]

Man its cold asf in the garage this morning. Trying to get the wood ripped for the wifes desk and figure out if im going to put a skirt on it or not. Doubt ill paint the legs today unfortunately i think its too cold for the rustoleum

[Mazin]

Btw planers (electric or hand) are stupid expensive. These boards are 1 3/8" thick and have a little rise when put together so im hoping once I get the dado blade in and put the groove in they will line up right, if not I'm going to have to plain the bitches

[Great-Kazoo]

WTF? you're putting on your wife's skirt and painting your legs? There a pride fest in denver, this weekend?

[Mazin]

Every weekend is pride fest in denver, boulder..pretty much everywhere in this state anymore.

Btw I noticed you checking me out when i helped you move so I know you're aroused [ROFL1]

[MrPrena]

I met someone for craigslist deal at Costco on i25 and hwy7. The parking lot is jam packed to the costco fuel station. I had to park near the pile of snow.

Damn corona and people with thin foil hat!

[Irving]

There are at least ten aisles with completely empty shelves at my local Safeway, but it has nothing to do with Corona Virus. I took a picture anyway.

[Erni]

I thought you were done with that car?

That car yes. Ross Tech for the win.

Looking at a different german car, but not an audi. (Unless I can find an A4 with fixed pistons and chains in the low 100k miles for a good price. Or I mid life crisis and get the S8 with the Lambo V10, but that one is for me!)

Been searching for a sub $10k car with under 120k max, awd, traction, side bags and highly safety rated. It feels like I am looking for a unicorn. This is for my daughter so it slso has to be cute...sigh.

The E90 328xi meets most of that criteria. As I do most car work myself, most parts are a wash and the 328 parts are not really worse than toyota oe parts in cost. And many of those cars have made it to 200k+ miles with minimal maintnance.

[MrPrena]

I talked to my mother in Las Vegas and the bottle water was out of stock.
Too many people there, but it was saturday, and she does not know normal traffic at that costco in weekend.

By looking at the parking lot of majority of stores, looks like it is crazy increase in demand.

The ones here in COS tend to be packed except later in day (an hour or two before close) during the week seems to be the time to go if you don?t want samples or deal with the crowds.

[Great-Kazoo]

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend, the end
Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

[Great-Kazoo]

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

Ride the king's highway, baby
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway, baby
Ride the highway west, baby

[Great-Kazoo]

Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake, he's old and his skin is cold

The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
We'll do the rest
The west is the best, the west is the best
Get here
And we'll do the rest
The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

[Great-Kazoo]

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

[OtterbatHellcat]

The time you wait subtracts the joy
Beheads the angels you destroy
Angels fight, angels cry
Angels dance and angels die

Sheesh. On the verge of selling or trading the wife?s vehicle and now it gets a rock chip and I have to put a windshield in it.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200302/f67aa0d695fcbdd2cd3562299e908ad7.jpg

[Gman]

That's a big frickin rock.

...you might want to get some new wiper blades for the replacement windshield.

[ChickNorris]

Its just a scratch.

[Gman]

Too bad windshields don't get flesh wounds.

I still don't think that'll buff out.

[ChickNorris]

I shot my first sporting rifle match yesterday in Raton. It was excellent.

Picture I took @ the 3rd stage.

[ray1970]

...you might want to get some new wiper blades for the replacement windshield.

Excellent idea. She was driving in the rain when it happened so I?m sure she was using the wipers. There are spots around the damage that feel like razor blades on the outside of the windshield.

[Hummer]

FWIW, new glass will help sell it bigtime and will probably increase the value more than the windshield costs--especially if your insurance company buys the glass. Mine does, 100%. Could be a fortuitous rock.

[ray1970]

Sad part was that was the original windshield and didn?t have any cracks or chips.

I priced one today and that sucker is $350.

For comparison, a windshield for my truck is $180.

I need to check my insurance coverage and see how or if they cover glass.

[buffalobo]

I shot my first sporting rifle match yesterday in Raton. It was excellent.

Picture I took @ the 3rd stage.Tell about the match. Stages? Distances? Challenges? Best lesson?

[Hummer]

Our vehicles get pitted enough to need new windshield glass every 2-2.5 years. With comprehensive Safeco pays 100%, most others pay all but a $50 or $100 deductible. I don't carry comp on my old Toyota plow truck but the windshield only cost $150, worth every penny.

[ChickNorris]

Correction, that may have been the 2nd stage.

They are charging you more for your policy though, one way or another. If it's still cheaper than other policies, then probably not a big deal.

Looks like it got hit by a yellow parking lot pole.

[ChickNorris]

The majority of the targets were 1moa, e.g. 6" diamonds which makes it fun & definitely a challenge. Never had a cof where everything was so bitty.

I did pretty well my first time out to this flavor of match. Really enjoyed the course. Seemed pretty special to me & I wonder just how many places there are like it. Not many I imagine, but I wouldn't know. Makes all the difference when your data is gtg, which mine was golden after my class the previous weekend with Colorado Precision Rifle @ BSR. Brian Whalen really helped me put the bits of info I had together & build up more from there... anyhoo... its Virginia count on the clock so your best guess is the only one you get. Trigger time & good data records are next. Im @ 430 rds on my first bolt gun so Im pretty dang pleased I could shoot 36 points when the match was won with 51 points with only 60 possible. I can do better. Its really hard & it also kind of wasn't -- might be my thing & ill just have to see how it goes.

good deal and nice shooting .

[ChickNorris]

Im still going to feed my tactical rifle habit too so... I'll be doing more weird azz side jobs to keep up with all the associated costs.

[Irving]

Nice, glad you had fun. Sounds like you're roped into long range for sure now.

[ChickNorris]

[Irving]

Banned by the TSA?

[ChickNorris]

Very cool. You have been thoughtful and smart with your money and it is paying off.

What did you learn at the match?

Yeah, about that... there are quite a few things on my wish list, nothing too extravagant though. 10" Arca rail, shorter atlas bipod, 55" pelican hardcase, accuracy first scope level, Hawkins rings, a pollok shooting mat, a kestrel with ab/link & the largest bulk lot of 6.5cm ammo I can afford in a single purchase.

Uffda mega.

Not sure I can answer that last question without writing a novel... & I'm still processing -- something specific you're looking for me to say ?

[Erni]

Banned by the TSA?
Isn't that the new John Mellencamp song?

"I was banned by the TSA..."

Mellencamp or Springsteen.

[ChickNorris]

Sounds like you need a few sponsors ;)

In a way I am.

Ive had so many people loan me items to try that I've had to make a list just to keep it all straight. The generous favors really have made a difference in helping me narrow down my choices to a final few & saved me from spending a lot of money just to find out a particular item is not right for me.

Can't say enough about how kind the shooting community is, truly.

[ChickNorris]

Nothing in particular, just your impressions.

Oddly the stage that gave me the most trouble was the 400 & under. I missed small so I might have forgot to adjust my parallax because it seems silly for me to miss anything that close in. Or maybe there was something else outside my experience that I didnt recognize, idk. Unfortunately, there's no extra shots allowed on the course, even after its all done, so I might never know for certain. I'll spend the time & rounds to double check my data for those distances later this week just to verify its good. Expect Ill learn something from that too.

Sorry this is late in the thread, but I'm behind and am just catching up. Sounds to me like you did very well. I'd feel like a fish out of water. From what I understand, Whittington is top-notch, so that alone would make it special to me. Nice shootin' and thanks for sharing!

[Gman]

MEMO: to self. when you have dr apt's, don't schedule all of them "first thing in the morning, if possible"

Truth. Only advantage is that it gives the Dr. less opportunity to 'get behind' in their schedule.

[Hummer]

No doubt, but Safeco was quite a bit less for better coverage than Allstate and State Farm. Will have to revisit the property insurance though because the little cabin almost doubled beginning later this month. We've caught agents before sneaking in unwarranted rate increases and it always costs them our business.

[ray1970]

You know you?re overdue for a trip to the grocery store when dinner is peanut butter and jelly on deli style rye bread.

That's even more nifty.

Gun related, actually mounted the vortex scope on the savage.. still need to shoot this thing.

[buffalobo]

I really like that my 22 RPR likes and shoots ELEY Practice as well or better than Eley Tenex.

[buffalobo]

Every other 22 I own only likes Tenex. Good thing they also like some cheap stuff or minions might have to being there own.

[buffalobo]

After many, many years of shooting .04/rd or less and being a true cheapskate, it grates on my tight azz wallet to pay .13/rd for Practice and .30/rd for Tenex. And I don't pay .30/rd for 22. Either gotta win it or catch that once a year sale for. 20/rd.

[buffalobo]

Damn 22 is more expensive to shoot than 9mm.

[buffalobo]

I blame Hoser.

[buffalobo]

Next thing you know I will have to buy expensive center fire rifle ammo or God forbid, start reloading rifle ammo.

[buffalobo]

What is deal with having to shoot one hole?

If you shoot ten holes you can make a smiley face with them.

Prices for the match grade 22 are quite hard to get over. But there is quite a difference between that and the cheap stuff.

[Gman]

That's kinda' how I feel about my rapid defensive shooting. I'm not skilled enough to make a smiley, and that probably wouldn't be fun to defend in court. Why put the rounds in the same hole in a defensive shooting? Spread 'em out a little to improve incapacitation and stop the threat. Besides, if they're going in the same hole, you're probably not shooting fast enough. [Coffee]

Only the precision guys want one hole in the middle. And all one one target. Boring.

[buffalobo]

We did a stage for an IDPA match that had a 25yd rifle shot as part of COF. It was kinda corny but different. With IDPA being pistol game and all, there were a few competitors that pitched a fit and a couple who refused and just skipped it. Instead of enjoying something different and seeing it as challenge or learning task.

[buffalobo]

Most of us tend to be protective of our sacred cows.

[buffalobo]

Maybe that's the problem with bolt guns. No double taps.

[buffalobo]

I love double taps on steel.

[Gman]

BOOM!!! head shot

[buffalobo]

Wish I could afford a set of ten steel IDPA/IPSC/USPSA targets.

[buffalobo]

If I'm hauling around a heavy rifle and ammo and gear and all that, I'm gonna shoot more than one shot.

Only if you miss

[Flower]

[buffalobo]

Hauling all that stuff around is probably why I missed.

I'm really enjoying precision rifle.

Can't believe I went my entire life not doing this

[buffalobo]

I could spend all day running El Pres and Mozambique drills on steel.

[ChickNorris]

Hauling all that stuff around is probably why I missed.

Im staff on a USPSA flavored carbine match on the 1st Saturday of every month @ BLGC. You coming sometime Buffalobo?

[buffalobo]

I like the challenge of precision rifle and really like long range shooting but run and gun is still the most fun.

[buffalobo]

Im staff on a USPSA flavored carbine match on the 1st Saturday of every month @ BLGC. You coming sometime Buffalobo?Absolutely need to, my skills suck.

Scheduling is hit/miss, if I plan ahead early enough to get signed up either weather cancels match or emergency at work cancels me, otherwise matches fill up.

Not really planning any pistol matches this year. Probably gonna shoot NRL for rimfire and see if can just show up at rifle matches and hope for open slots.
