I just finished my FAA checkride for my Private pilots license. It's a weird feeling. I don't think it's quite sunk in yet. What do you recon the whole process cost you ultimately? I've always had a secret yearning to be able to fly, but I never felt like it was something I could afford. Oh, an con...

Ribs can cook in 4 hours... I could probably stick 30-40 racks of (St Louis cut Spare) ribs in it easily :D

Hopefully, next time we do it, I can bring the smoker out... Did you guys have any problems from Elmfork with a grill or whatever out there?

I was already busy this weekend too. Next time I can definitely do it (especially if I can get permission to sit out there all night). I currently have a place to get bbq meats for mass consumption (good for eating, not sure yet for competitions) at about half grocery store prices. But alas, I am go...

I cook at BBQ competitions a few times a year, and I got tired of having to haul a little smoker around. Family get-togethers also put a strain on my little smoker (we have had 50+ people at Memorial and LaborDay parties). So I decided it was time to upgrade... My father helped me some before he pas...

My first day carrying was today too. Was a little longer than I wanted though. I was just going to carry to the gun range (which is CHL friendly all the way up to the firing line), but ended up going to storage, clothing store, lunch, grocery store, and Target. Range time was fun, was with my mom wh...

Just checked the mailbox and it was sitting in there between all the junk mail crap we get.

Ugh :waiting: I went into review on 2/14 and am still there 22 days later..... you cleared in under 20 days. I guess being a Vet with an inactive Top Secret Security Clearance doesn't help!!!! Just for a data point..... Have you lived at the same address or in Texas for the last 5 years? I have bee...

So, I was guessing that March 6th would be the day mine moved by how everyone before me's was doing.

Howdy, I have been reloading about a year, mostly on my brother's Lee turret press at his house. I decided to buy myself a Hornady LnL AP last year, but because of my father passing unexpectedly, I ended up moving into an apartment so I could take care of my mother. Because of this downsize, I lost ...

I did exactly this (Sent the other paperwork a week before my fingerprints were scheduled). I am now waiting for my background check to go through.

Figured I would throw in my lot with the January apps. Online App: 1/25/2013 Class Taken: 1/26/2013 Mailed Photos & Docs: 1/28/2013 Received by DPS: 1/30/2013 (via Certified Return Receipt) Fingerprints Done: 2/5/2013 Online changed to Received Status: 2/17/2013 (Checked at 1am last night, nothi...
