cool....

Kenny- Can you set up a range for handguns 7 to 30 yrds. A rifle range starting at 25yrds (So I can practice double tap drills). And to 800 yrds so I can practice my death from a far! :grinpimp:

I'm a maybe if I'm in town or not on duty.

Probably come in for Saturday, most likely solo due to the 4 month old being cranky during long all day outings:grinpimp:

No problem Adam, I'll get started on that right away! :rolleyes:
 
Tentative but depends on a lot of things like our cranky 6 mo old and status of "Lucia" our FJ62 I am buying back. If I can get a 3 day pass to travel up there and I can talk the wife into sleeping in the freezing cold in a tent with a baby than she will be down.

I already have my leave form pre made for the second the STR is nailed down and I'm turning that thing in. I can't WAIT to go to that. Deirdre and I are in all 7 days this year.
 
I've got two pairs. Sadly one set isn't that big yet and the most important of the decision makers thankfully doesn't have a set :eek:

I saw a sweet tent heater on Expo the other day. Sadly I doubt the adventure trailer will not be built up until after the next deployment...which when looking at the long range calendar means the 2014 wheeling season :frown:

Yeah the boxer shorts, no sleeping bag, and just the camping pad weren't working that night in the mountains. :doh:
 
I think we should have a beer off since so may people seem to have home brewing kits..... we could do this every event or so with different categories of beer.

The first I would think, should be IPA's since it seems to be one everyone likes. Then we can move to another category next time.

Our host should be the official judge and we will make it blind so he doesn't know whose is whose.

What does everyone think?
 
That would be one hell of an addition to our events, a brew off! I could see that pulling in more people. Awesome idea, now I've got to get a brewing kit!
 
I brewed my second batch today, a "traditional bock". I don't know why I didn't do this before, I just love the smell. I was hoping it would finish before the Meet and Greet but the directions say it should "lager" for 3-4 weeks (letting it finish at 36F). The owner of Bull City Homebrew said I don't have to do that last step, since its technically an ale but it would age well in the fridge after bottling. We will see. The double IPA still has time to go, the specific gravity reading isn't stable yet, not time to dry hop yet.

I remember as a kid, my dad taking me to the Oly brewery in WA every time we visited his dad in Seattle. He would sneak me tastes, the taste of Olympia Dark still on my tongue, something they only exported back in the 60's. He taught me how to read the back of the labels that had stars on them, supposedly giving a rating of the batch.

I've acquired 3 kegs to make my future brew "sculpture" so I can start doing all grain batches...

Nice Jerry! You are going balls to the wall with this home brewing operation:D
 
This is the best idea I have ever heard of. I think I need to hop on this game again. I was hoping my wife remembered that I wanted more beer brewing equipment for Christmas but I got a new drill instead so I can't complain. I'm starting to think bootlegging would be fun :)

Ah, he said "hop" on this game...

Some beer types would be hard pressed to be finished by the Meet and Greet... but I might be in...
