My father-in-law built his smoker out of an old refrigerator that was solid metal, not plastic. He would throw a handful of soaked hickory chips on what seemed like a fire built with two chopsticks and a wooden match, close that door, and several hours later have a wonderful smoked brisket.

Big changes here. My Boss has been removed, and we're working with a new manager. I'm on call for this weekend, first time in months. New guy is making some improvements to the infrastructure, plus we've got to learn the paperwork side of things now to help him out.

With the loss of two of our dogs, we're adjusting to the new pup and her way of telling us things.

We had pork and kraut last night at midnight at home ::) don't care much to get out with the crazies ::)
Title: Re: January 2016 Coffee is up
Post by: Delmonico on January 01, 2016, 03:01:11 PM: Wrote this up 4-5 years ago, it's so funny how people will believe things with out question.

Nice story, but Uncle Billy wasn't that dumb folks.

In the South there is a tradition of eating Black-Eyed Peas on New years for good luck, the origins of this are a bit murky, I will give the information I have and leave any conclusions to you. The most common story as to how it started is in late 1864 when William Tecumseh Sherman did his famous March to the Sea from Atlanta to Savanna they of course lived off the land. The story goes that the Union troops thought of Cow Peas as fit only for livestock feed and left them instead of taking them. Being glad at their good luck of having these at least to eat the New Years tradition was started to celebrate their good luck.

But there are a couple of things to think about with that one, first, Sherman’s army had thousands of horses that needed fed and forage for them was harder to find than for the men, so why would they ignore that well known source? But it goes deeper than that, the eating of cow peas on Rosa Hashana the Jewish New Year goes back to Biblical times; in fact it goes back to Egypt. In the 18th Century there were a fair amount of Sephardi Jews from the Iberian Peninsula who settled in Northern Georgia and may have helped bring this tradition to the Gregorian New year celebration. At this point it’s hard to know the real truth, but it is food for thought.
Title: Re: January 2016 Coffee is up
Post by: Delmonico on January 01, 2016, 03:05:22 PM: There is a lesser known one that says Uncle Billy and his bummers stole all the pecans in Georgia also, so everyone had to have oatmeal pie that year for Christmas instead of pecan pie. In fact this happened before pecans were introduced from Texas to Georgia, before the rolled oats to make the pie was invented and even later than the first known recipe for pecan pie is documented, (after WWI).

Now I'm not saying I'd want to have had to deal with them but come on, at least get the facts right.
Title: Re: January 2016 Coffee is up
Post by: Blair on January 01, 2016, 04:00:39 PM: I like black eyed peas in almost any way they can be made.
I lived in Savanna, Ga. for a number of years and nobody seemed to know about the "cow peas" story.
At ACW reenactment I would often carry a ration bag of black eyed peas along with a bag of rice.
The peas cooked up pretty quick and then add the rice. We always called this "Hoppin John".
It was quick, hot and with a few wild onions added, salt and pepper, very tasty.
My best,
Blair

Post by: The Trinity Kid on January 02, 2016, 01:18:54 AM: Happy new year all!

Things are sort of settling down to (ab)normal here. Grandmother left this morning, so the house is a little emptier (and by a little, I mean it. She's only 4'10. ;) ).

We seemed to be in a constant loop of evil white stuff. Get about four inches, have it melt over the next two-three days, and wake up with four more inches the next morning. All the mountains are white.

Beyond that, the biggest bit of news is my close-to-acquisition of a new gun. Ordered it last night, so it'll arrive Wednesday, so by the time the state gooberment gets done infringing on rights, I'll have a new Beretta M9(civilian version. Not the 92. This model has almost identical markings to the Gov. issued guns.) on the 20th. ;D I was surprised our dealer had any in stock. After San Bernadino, it's pretty much impossible to find any CA-legal guns. This distributor sold 17,000 AR Mags in one day!

Anyway, here's to a year of good shooting, good times, and God Blessing America.

Had a guy trying to tell me today it was the best thing in the world, I tossed my shock and awe one out (yes I've had more going, but his one is so cool) and told him to bring his gadget and we'd see how it compared to my new one as for time and convenience.

Then he mentioned the place to put the lids and I showed him one with some of my lid holders spread out ready and asked him if he thought it would work on Bertha, I think he pooped himself and decided I did know WTH I was talking about. ;D

I still get the standard ‘Are old enough to buy this wine?’ even after letting my grey hair have its own way for the last several years. Had to dye it one last time several years ago when the lady at the DMV told me I couldn’t put brown as my hair color anymore! Heck I could even be a redhead at 65 if I wanted to!!!!! ::) ::)

Didn’t get enough of the white stuff to warrant firing up the blower, just ended up sweeping the stuff off with a broom.

Post by: The Trinity Kid on January 08, 2016, 12:12:44 AM: Good evening y'all.

Nothing really new in my neck of the woods. Been going to work the past couple of days, though the productiveness is sort of questionable. Yesterday, we sold two pairs of gloves, and a Ruger LCR. Today, we sold a whole lot of nothing. Though I succeeded in annoying one of "those" guys. You know, the guy who comes in wanting 'a clip for my Glock fo-fie."
I'm not well versed in Glock nomenclature, so I asked if he wanted a magazine for a 45ACP Glock, or a G45. After some back and forth, we determined that he wanted a magazine for a Glock 30, which is a 45. So I went to order one, and our distributor was out of stock. I told him that it could be a while before it got here, so he said nevermind, and wanted to order a gun that is not California legal. I looked it up, and told him we can't do it, but that there is a California legal model. He got irate, and actually rather rude. He did leave, but it got tense...

Not much happening here. Though I was saddled with fixing a Marlin 1894 at work, and it's turning into a job. It only has a couple of parts, so I'll have to order all of them. All said and told, I think the owner could find a used one in good condition for less. (Who was the guy that decided a loading gate/spring need to cost $30?)
I told the guy this yesterday, and he told me "the Marlin '94 is the same rifle as the Winchester '94. Just buy the parts off of an old Winchester and put them on."

No, just no.

Though I could be coming into a Ruger New Vaquero (45ACP convertible model) today. I'll let y'all know!

Post by: Blair on January 16, 2016, 01:56:23 PM: TK,

You are correct... "No, Just no".

This sounds like a long term project of getting the proper period parts to fit that model Marlin 1894. They changed over the years and some of the newer made models maybe easier to get parts for than the older ones.
As a side note, the '94 Marin's and "94 Winchester's are not interchangeable.
My best,
Blair

OK, pick-up is blocked in by black SUV/Cross Over/Station Wagon thing, so I drive it. Yep, every dang yuppie in town is stocking up on free range organic brown eggs, artisan bread and soy milk. ::)

Finally fine the right black roo-dee-voo and get in, count 14 black thingys in the parking lot, as I'm leaving 2 more of the dang things are coming in.

The doggone rain hit us. Creek below my house is up about 4 feet above normal(officially in "flood" stage.). Down the road a ways, the darn thing overwhelmed a culvert and ran across the highway.
Most other culverts are at their maximum, and the local VFD is running around everywhere with sand bags. Ironically, the new road in they just put in town (the one that is supposed to survive if Noah comes back for an encore) is flooded for almost a mile, mud slides are almost closing one lane, and the dang thing is about to disconnect from the bridge. Meanwhile, I'm baking cookies. ::)

In other news, I didn't get the Ruger. Boss had to make an emergency trip to the City to make final arrangements for his trip to SHOT this week, so the store was closed. Oh well.

Del,

It just goes "click"... It doesn't even turnover the starter. When she starts, like she has been doing since paying for the tow truck bill, it is just like it is suppose to be....no drag at all.

Mechanic listed several things it could be...a bad spot on the starter was one of them. A co-worker suggested cleaning up the grounds...one on frame and one on the engine...to see if that helps. Right now, since I'm about 30 miles from my local mechanic, and 15 miles in the boondocks, I'm leaving well enough alone! When I get home is the time to piddle with it.

Any leads are greatly appreciated! She is almost paid for, and in really good shape...when she starts...
Title: Re: January 2016 Coffee is up
Post by: Delmonico on January 27, 2016, 06:29:58 PM: OK whne you went "click" you should have looked at the volt meter and seen if it went down to ) or turned on the dome light and seen if it went clear out, if so, it would mean you were not getting enough voltage.

If not, then it likely would be a bad starter or the relay.

Clean the ground cables, esp the other end where it grounds from the battery and where there is one from the engine to the frame, clean that and the connections on the starter.

If it does it again grab your hammer you carry and crawl under it and beat on the case of the starter and see if that helps.

If it was the Neutral safety switch, it most likely wouldn't click. You don't have to really beat the starter, just tap it with the hammer. I've had several starters that got that bad. Easiest one to deal with was the Taurus, starter was only about a foot behind the front bumper.

Post by: Delmonico on January 27, 2016, 09:25:51 PM: No click with the safety switch is right, why I was trying to find out what it does. Have a similar problem with The Field Marshall and before on The General, turn the key, nothing happens, I'm in neutral left foot on the brake, right on the gas with my heel, trying to toe the starter as I turn the key. ::) Old ingrained habits die hard, learned to drive on a 53 Dodge 1/2 ton when about 12. LOL After 10 years of one with a safety switch in the clutch I am doing it less and less. ;D

And no, a good tap will often work but a good whack makes you feel better. :P

I learned the same dance, but with a '54 Chevy. Then when I went to the Army, had to learn a new one, push the clutch with your left heel, so your left toe can reach the starter button on an M151 Jeep.

Post by: Four-Eyed Buck on January 29, 2016, 03:15:26 PM: Had to go out early and spread salt. We got a bit more than they predicted,plus there was some ice under it. The truck had to go for servicing as well. while there, they found the tranny cooling lines were leaking, so it was down for the rest of the day. We used our personal vehicles to finish the day out. ::)

Currently 29, broken clouds ::)
