I enjoy your recipes especially the ones with bacon or booze. If you have a good recipe for .45 ACP, post it too, please. I'm always looking for new recipes containing pork or cast lead ;-)
Very glad to see that you still touch your violin. This Friday's Crank Up is a 1913 recording that you will enjoy. The record is in almost new condition and came out very well, in spite of Brat the cat trying to help.
Blue Steel: My 79 year old mother likes a beginning level charge of Herco under a 200 grain Hornady XTP. You can shoot it all day, and it will get the job done if it is needed for serious work. You will notice double charges of Herco, so it is a very good powder to use for safety's sake.
Enjoy. I'm making chili to take to the range this weekend. Last time I used the HOTR recipe with great results. I'm using a different recipe this time. I hope I don't get in trouble.
I did put a link to your recipe on my blog though. It's a GREAT recipe.
The "clunk" you heard was my jaw dropping when you told me you know Rick. Like....wow...double wow.
Rick was instrumental, about a dozen or so years ago in starting the twice annual trek to Cadillac for the summer and winter flying. It started with a conversation on AVSIG between he and Walt Atkinson. At the time, Walt was a dentist in Baton Rouge and had never flown on skis. Rick invited him up, and what started as a few guys doing a weekend of winter flying blossomed to a family event twice a year.
It's grown into a large extended family, complete with births of children and grandchildren (Gail and I became grandparents for the first time this summer, Rick and Karen met them at a Derby party held in GRR, at the home of another Cadillac member), divorces; Rick and another Cad member, marriage (Our daughter Meagan, last month, with most of the Cad group in attendance...Rick and Karen could not make it), medical issues, and thankfully no deaths yet.
Unfortunately, with them moving out west, our meetings have been reduced. The rest of the CAD group is mostly based here in SE Michigan and Chicago, consequently, we get together more often. Some come in from Florida (in the winter no less!), east coast, etc.
Interesting spin offs too; we've all gone to a members daughters dance recital, met in Detroit for a concert, etc.
Due to both her nature and job, Gail does not have many close gal friends. Her closest friend is the wife of one of the pilots from CAD. Go figure!.
Gail's whole career has been in the medical field, with a smattering of law thrown in. When I told her of our connection with friendships, she remarked that it's also happened in medicine to her; i.e. someone who knows someone. There is much less then the oft talked about six degrees of separation.
I've typed enough tonight. If you need Ricks current email, let me know. Safe range time for ya!
Damn... the google bit me and blipped about a seven para comment about your last post. Will try again:
Anyways. The "clunk" you heard out there was me reading your post about Durden. Wow. When I mentioned it Gail, she said that the famous "Six Degrees" is reduced when looking at narrow fields and professions. She's run into it in her field of medicine and legal.
Rick is the plank holder for the starting of the 2x year CAD meet, that started about 12 years ago. We've had births, weddings, divorces, marriages, medical issues but no deaths so far. Just like an extended family.
He and Karen couldn't make it back for our daughters wedding last month, but most of the rest of the CAD group came. It's that close. Some of the group meets every few months. Some come up from Florida (in the winter no less).
Gail's best friend is the wife of one of the pilots.
Small world. Your jaw probably dropped too. If you need Ricks current email, let me know.
Best regards and have a fun and safe range day...I'm going flying tomorrow!

Not only do you need it, you DESERVE it. Hope you actually GET IT.

Like Shannon said: take the time you need, and get away. Be safe.

WV: vigation; Violin vacation?
6gr of Unique under a 200gr XTP. Around 800fps.
I loves some fiddle.
Ms. B y'all gets some now, y'hear.
Enjoy proper offline time!
Dang TrueBlueSam,
A pistol packin' granny who loads her own, AWESOME! Thanks for the load, I'll give it a try. I have some Herco stuck in a drawer somewhere.
Thanks,
Blue Steel

That's the ticket, take a walk, feel the breeze, hear the leaves fall, spy out the deer.
R&R is always good.

Get rested while you have the chance, that is if you don't get interrupted by the squirrels! God's Peace my friend.
Looks like you need a new fiddle string along with your R&R.
Glad you're still fiddlin'
Maggie
