    Bush Jackets

    Those are great, I have a couple. They also make them in traditional long sleeve model, as well as a vest model.

    9mm or 45cal

    I have 4 38 Spl revolvers, the first a 6" K 38 that was a college graduation present to myself back in '68. A couple of years later I picked up a matching K 22 and will never let those two go. The other is a 4" model 10 that was my fathers . My wife has a Stainless J frame and I have one of...

    9mm or 45cal

    I am beginning to think the same way. The range I use is almost 50 miles one way, so I do not shoot as much as I like, and prefer rifles to handguns any day. While I consider myself moderately proficient with semi auto's, if using a revolver under duress I do not have to think about...

    9mm or 45cal

    A couple of weeks a my wife and I met up with a cousin and his wife from Nashville, over in N Louisiana. He wanted my opinion as to what type handgun to get for home defense and wanted to try a few, so I carried some. I took a S&W M 41 ( 22 LR) so she could see the drill in operating a semi...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    Thanks,I got it all cleaned up. The tree service finally arrived and finished removing the downed and split tree as well as getting some broken limbs out of the canopy of standing trees. My wrists, hands and thighs are sore from all the holding, pulling, lifting and bending from the last week...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    Had some severe straight line wind storms here Memorial day late afternoon. We missed all the "fun" as we were over in La. meeting up with a cousin from Nashville. My wife talked to neighbors via cellphone, landlines were totally out. We learned all power was out and water service was out...

    Akubra Campdraft

    It may not be the perfect way, but I wet mine, sweatband included, put it on and wear it until it's dry. The effect is much like wet molding leather .

    Patch placement on MA-1 jackets?

    Being former AF, those Officers are "out of uniform" by not having jackets zipped up. I once got chastised by a senior officer for not having my field jacket fully snapped up. We were waiting outdoors on transportation for deployment to Desert Storm. It was late Jan in north Louisiana, so...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    I have not thought of that. At the time, in late 1973, I was one of the younger of the folks involved, and I am pushing 70 now. I know a lot of the older officers and nco's are gone now, the engineer nco had a massive heart attack in early 75 that killed him instantly while helping a neighbor...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    It was rather impressive. A good friend, a NCO in the US Army Engineers found a set of plans from the USDA on construction, and our club provided funds and the space near our skeet range for it. The first time we tried it, some of the Turks built literally a bonfire in the firebox and...

    Fedoras afield

    Great pictures Blackthorn. My only experience was seeing a Palestinian camp near the Dead sea back in 1974. A year later I was stationed down at Eglin AFB, at Ft. Walton, Fla and we had a Vietnamese refugee camp set up, literally a tent city. I took a couple of my pharmacy tech's out one...

    Summer weight? Rain?

    I don't know. We went out to that old pre civil war fort near Savannah one summer. I had on a pair of olive green cotton slacks, and sweat so bad that within about five minutes my niece said it looked like I had wet my pants. We may have hit an especially humidI day, and to be honest it was...

    Restaurant Hat Issues

    Yes! I know one gentlemen that hung his hat on some hooks at the foyer in church and when the service was over it was gone.

    Summer weight? Rain?

    I understand about that humidity. I spent a few years stationed at Robins AFB, and my wife is from Macon. It's bad all over middle Ga. but the worst place I have been was Savannah. I have only visited S.Ga. during the winter so it was not so bad. One of my favorite areas is the N. Ga...

    Cookin' some pork!

    It's Old CLinton BBQ, I cannot remember highway #, everyone there calls it Gray Highway. It's a couple of miles south of Grey going toward Macon and will be on the left side. There is another good one closer to you in Jackson, called Fresh Air BBQ, on hwy 42. They have a place in Macon on...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    Our smoker at the NATO club was anything but makeshift. It was a walk in room about 8x8 . The fire box was about 12-15 feet away with underground pipe to move the smoke., All masonary except for the roof. We could do several pigs at once.

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    I have an older Bradley smoker, one that uses pre formed pucks of wood chips and advances one to a heating element every 29 minutes, It does a good job but I find that we prefer the charcoal and wook hunks. As far as eating outside, here in the deep south only on breezy days in spring or fall...

    Backyard barbeques - 'member them?

    Thanks, but I try to avoid Atlanta. When we leave Macon heading for the mountains I generally go up through Gray and stay anywhere from 25-40 miles east of Atlanta, preferring the rural scenery and traffic vs the madness on I 75 and Atlanta's loop. I see you were military, I had 10 years...

    Cookin' some pork!

    Since we got the Big Green Egg, probably 95% of my outdoor cooking is by the indirect method. I also use oak lump charcoal, and usually hickory, but yesterday I used apple chunks. I see you are in Ga., my wife is from Macon and every time we go back we always hit a place up near Gray. Often...
