so tonight is going awesome so far.  numerous 18 year olds that have rice burners with the fart can/pissed off bumble bee mufflers, who have been in the field for the last 2 weeks have already been doing the following.

drag racing up and down the streets inbetween the barracks

parking dodge trucks with the enormous ghost trailers on the sidewalks 50 feet from their rooms because they are too lazy to carry their bags from the parking lots

same soldiers from ^^^ trying to run away from me as i catch them coming out of the fire escapes

a 19 year old that was so drunk he could not stand on his own (i think i got plastered from his breath) telling me that he didnt come out of the fire escape door and that he crawls in and out of his window because it makes him feel like a spy.

and this was all before 2000 mountain time.  i am shaking my head just thinking how much fun this is going to be come 0200-0300 when i do checks again.

Food Preparation and Cooking Techniques / Re: Smoking meat.
« on: November 28, 2015, 10:24:34 AM »
so here are a few links (because I do not want to re-invent the wheel) on meat drying. 

this is a bit long, but the information contained in this one document is more than I have seen in one place in a long time, and it covers just about any sort of technique you can/could think of. 

http://www.fao.org/docrep/010/ai407e/AI407E18.htm

here are 2 videos that I have found of people making jerky.  #1 is with alton brown, #2 is using a weber smokey mountain smoker.

1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3JetOoEngs

2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhF65Op1l1s

the next link is a box fan method.

http://www.instructables.com/id/Box-Fan-Jerky/

and just for good measure, here is the main link to the meat processing information I posted above.  this is an actual book.

Share Your Recipe / Homemade Chicken Stock
« on: November 27, 2015, 07:43:32 PM »
so I had 4-5 chicken/turkey carcasses in the freezer from the last few months and yesterdays day of thanks, and I thought I would share how I make homemade chicken stock.

here was the basis for my recipe, I found it on ball's website.  http://www.freshpreserving.com/recipes/chicken-stock

and here are the 2 pots worth of starting stock.

oh and I put a habanero pepper split down the middle in each pot for a little nip.

chicken stock ingredients and directions:

- chicken carcas's (i usually use 2 per pot)
- 2 yellow onions quartered
- 1 small package of celery chopped up into 1 inch pieces
- 1 small bag of carrots chopped up into 1 inch pieces
- a couple jalapeno's halved
- sodium free chicken bullion (to taste)
- 1 large pot
- water to fill pot to within 2 inches from the top

directions:

1. put carcass into pot
2. add all vegetables to pot
3. add bullion to pot
4. fill pot tp with in 2 inches from top
5. bring pot to a boil and reduce contents by 1/2 or 3/4
6. refill pot and repeat step 5
7. once pot has reduced a second time strain all contents
8. throw away all bits from liquid
9. put liquid into refrigerator until all the fat has solidified on top of the liquid
10. remove fat and throw away
11. bring liquid to a boil
12. pressure can according to whatever instructions you follow

Food Preparation and Cooking Techniques / Re: Smoking meat.
« on: November 27, 2015, 06:02:38 PM »
slow down a sec here.  because what you are wanting to talk about is a VERY VERY broad subject.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_(cooking)

the smoke process you described above is called "cold smoking".  you use cold smoke to basically impart flavor (because it should never reach above 100deg F) and not as an actual preservation technique.  a lot of folks use this technique on cheese and fish.

now the other thing that you talked about above was preserving meat for long term storage.  there are several methods for this and you will have to have 1 of if not all three of the following.  cure #1, Cure#2 and curing salt (mortons tender quick).  please keep in mind that these 3 things are completely different and cannot be substituted for the other. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curing_salt

the 3 basic meat preservation techniques are

1. dehydration - think jerkey

2. canning - canned meats like tuna, chicken etc

3. charcuterie - think summer sausage, pepperoni etc

so where would you like to start?





4188
Nice job sam.

The 15mm stubby ratchet wrench works wonders on the top case bolt.

Did you keep it attached to the crossmember when removing or did you keep crossmember in place and work around it?

Hopefully your patch job holds untill you get a new/used half... ???

Did you refill with 5w30 full synthetic or did you go with oem fluid?

Also, did you go with the M.A. magnetic drain plug?



JR, kyle, tater (and others that have the 2007 OBS) - this is what happens when you wait way to long knowing this is a problem and can cost you a lot of money when it fails because you chose to wait..........

start with something very simple! 

start with a fixed iron front sight post and a collapasble rear, do the following

once you have it built and have run 3-4k worth of rounds thru it (read: PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE!)

then go for add on's!  (this is where you could go for some sort of optics, but not really recommended from me until this step?!)

(bipods are useless/added weight unless you are an accomplished long range marksman and plan to do nothing but sniper stuff ?  just my opinion.)
