  1. As for a progressive, I've had my eye on one for a while. I'm sure I'll go there eventually but for now I plan to go slow. I figured I'd start with the single stage and eventually move up, but even if I do the single can be a deprimer or trimming station. Plus it's always easiest for rifle calibers anyway. Not like it'll ever go to waste.

    You definitely are doing the right thing starting out with a single stage. Learn each stage. I would suggest a couple of good calipers and as everyone else says a good manual. I have two progressives and a single stage. I still start almost every load on the single stage. Reloading turns into essentially organized hording. I don't have near the amount of calibers that RedRocket has but I still have a ton of stuff. When I bought my current house packing and moving everything was a bear. I am guessing I have at least 500 lbs of just bullets not counting brass and the machines and powder.

  2. I travel to Pittsburg as well every other week, the issue with that stretch is getting stuck behind mining dump trucks and other semis avoiding 70. You can actually run from Cadiz all the way to 161 on the same Rd... don't recall the changes but it's 16 and I believe 250. I try and take different routes depending on my departure times for a change of scenery, I've always wanted to take one of the cars out there.
  3. Being this late in the season start watching for clearance Crossbows. I have always been a compound shooter but I was still chasing a certain buck last year until the end of the season and I found it was a PITA to draw a bow when it is -10 out. I picked up a Wicked Ridge with bolts and scope at Buckeye for ~$300 which was around 50% off. I sighted it in in three shots and it has been great.
  4. We made a pork tenderloin in the crock pot while we were out yesterday. sprinkled some french onion soup mix on it and let it cook all day. Was pretty good but it dried out a little. What's the trick to not drying it out?

     

    Cook to temperature. Which I know is hard in a crock pot and kind of defeats the purpose.

  5. Not a bad way to spend $250,000. Sure it is 3.5 bath and not 2.5? Most these I remember working on had 2.5 bath..

     

    Based off his pictures, appears there is a half bath in the basement.

    Nice looking house, very similar looking to mine. Though I like your color scheme better (purchased mine as a foreclosure)

  6. Couple of recent steaks

     

    2lb T-bone reverse seared on the big green egg

  7. Yah- but this was far quicker than me getting it out of the cubbard, attaching paddles and moving the meat from the pan to the bowl and back to the pan. (Less dishes as well.

     

    Yea I can understand that. Mine stays out so I am inclined to use it more often. I usually pull two to three butts at a time, so it saves some time.

    Deer Burgers rubbed with a homemade coffee rub, cooked to medium rare. Ended up topping them with some green hatch chili's.

    Spatchcocked chicken, rubbed with a mixture of a homemade bbq rub and a little bit of the limited addition Oakridge BBQ Crucible Ghoste Chili rub. Cooked on the egg, raised direct with a little bit of pecan wood. Cooked to an internal temp of 180 degrees on the thighs and 160 on the breast. Which occurred at the same time (the joy of spatchcocking). Ended up shredding the other half of the chicken for sandmich protein for lunches this week.

    Our new years dinner

     

    Also I'm sold on these. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/31/f0a7d30c8ee42b963fea42b6405fe857.jpg.

     

    Do you happen to have a Kitchenaid mixer? I pitched my claws after using my mixer to pull pork.

  10. My best cooking is actually campfire cooking. Started that when I was a kid. We'd go out as a group for an all weekend fishing trip and basically cooked what we caught. Sometimes for a variation we'd pack a few steaks or burgers for a change.

     

    I haven't been camping in years though. I still campfire cook in the summer in my backyard though. Got a fire pit out there. :fuckyeah:

     

    Shore lunches are my favorites.

  11. $1.79 lb baby backs, turbo method. Rubbed with a homemade blend. (Most of my rubs are homemade) Plated with ABT (Atomic Buffalo Turds)

    Thanksgiving Turkey, spatchcocked, raised direct on the egg. Rubbed with a homemade coffee rub, which is just espresso coffee, ancho chili powder and a couple other items.

    This is a cheap NY Strip that I buy from the local grocery store near my hunting cabin. Its actually non rated and is a product of Mexico. They are good for the money. Coocked on a old cheap Weber, I don't use charcoal on this grill. I split small pieces of Cherry and cook over it.
