Moderators dtel Posted December 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) I tried Yuengling when we were in Tennessee a while back and I really liked it. The bar guy said I could keep the pitchers so we had 5-6 of them, just to bring home the pitchers of course.

The bar guy said I could keep the pitchers so we had 5-6 of them, just to bring home the pictures of course. wonder if he checked with his boss first? at work, we have this section of historic farm equipment. I’m walking by and see this couple taking photos through the chain link fence. I tell them that they’d get better pictures on the other side and they point out the sign that says Authorized Personnel Only. I tell them that I’d take them back there and they are excited and thank me. The lady snaps a dozen photos and then I say, “I’d like to help you more; but, i don’t work here.” Sometimes being a punk is fun.

Moderators dtel Posted December 6, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) I doubt he checked with his boss, this was at place that has ski rentals and some stores, a tourist trap place called Ober Gatlinburg, we brought the grandkids there so they could ice skate and we went to the bar. When we were ready to leave I was stopped by two women in uniforms and they asked me where I got the pitchers, the top pitcher still had beer in it and I was drinking on the way out since the place was about empty, I thought I was in trouble. She smiles and says I like those, we talked a little and I asked if she wanted one and she said sure, so I came back with one less pitchers and without getting in trouble.

hydro_pyro Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 The light smoky overtone is interesting, but unlike the aged Speyside malts, this stuff burns every part of my mouth. Not sure if I can acquire this taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 A little shop project tonight, building/fabricating a laser bore sight for my Socom Scout. Taking a spent casing and mounting a laser inside it, yes you can by them, but hell you only use it when you mount new optics. You load the laser in the chamber, laser shines dead center down the barrel, puts a spot on a wall 100 yards out, simply adjust crosshairs in scope on spot, saves a boat load of ammo when sighting in a new scope. Looking at the bottle of Lagavulin, taking a break, maybe just a sip .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the oldest (185 years), family owned, still in operation brewery in the U.S. They started carrying a few of their different styles around here recently. They just introduced a summer wheat. Nice. Bruce 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted December 12, 2014 Moderators Share Posted December 12, 2014 That's what surprised me after trying it, I had never heard of it and it's the oldest family owned brewery in the country, it did enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the bottle of Lagavulin, taking a break, maybe just a sip .... Here is a better way which you may want to try, its free and it works. First, get a very large (several feet square) piece of paper/ cardboard. Put your target (lets say a 2" orange sticker dot for sake of argument) in the center. Place the paper/cardboard at 100yds (you may have to start at 50yds if things are grossly misaligned). Place the rifle in sandbags/rest so that no movement whatsoever exists (more on this latter). Now, put the crosshairs in the center of the orange dot and fire one shot. With any luck you will have a hole somewhere on the paper/cardboard(if not, move your paper to 50yds and repeat). Now, this is the critical aspect. Place your rifle back in the rest, move the rifle to where the crosshairs are back on the center of the orange dot (original aiming point), Now, without moving the rifle at all (it must absolutely remain motionless during this period), look through the scope at your crosshairs (still centered on the center of the orange dot at this point) and adjust your scope (turret adjustments) until your crosshairs move over to the center of your bullet hole you just got done making. Thats it, you have just sighted in your rifle with one shot. Yes, i do this exact method when out in the shooting areas, however im in my shop/cave. After two bad lasers,(Optics) i finely dialed it pretty close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydro_pyro Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 I brought home a box of Glenmorangie 12 yr Quinta Ruban today... Opened the box, and the seal is already broken!! Someone tasted it? What the hell? I called the store and told them about it. I'll be back on Tuesday to exchange it. (I did sneak a splash from the opened bottle, and I approve.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
