If you are interested in black powder fire arms, please consider attending the National Muzzeloading Spring shoot. This is not five guys shooting at a picture of a turkey. It's a national competition. The vendors row is worth the trip and the people you can meet are invaluable. https://www.nmlra.org/store/2025-nmlra-spring-national-shoot-pre-registration

If you have a cheap Ziploc bag and it just doesn't want to seal, turn it end for end and try again. I discovered this tip on accident after years of wondering why some bags seal immediately and other I struggled with.

Police were milling around and one had a shotgun, looking over the overpass rail down into woods there. Any information ?

I got home tonight and can hear my sump pump. It has not stopped pumping during this cataclysmic rainfall. Good luck to my fellow Hoosiers. Has your sump pump failed? Share your frustration here.

Could this be made into a new pipe organ stop? The principle at play here is similar to Franklin's glass harmonica but there are pipes involved here.

Today, I had a very strange experience while getting gas at the Flying-J truck stop in Indianapolis. I'm driving a rental car I'm not familiar with and didn't know what side the gas cap was on. I pulled up to one island and find that it was on the wrong side. I swung around and tried an island where there was a truck pulling a trailer. The pump was not accepting credit cards, so I did a U-turn at the same island, opposite the truck and trailer on the other side. I finish filling the tank and I'm facing the front of the car as I'm getting ready get in and leave. I hear a male voice say "Hey mister, can I ask you a question?" I thought it was going to be the driver of the pick up truck, hustl

Are there schools of thought on pizza sauce that are noteworthy? I see time and again that pizza recipes on the internet keep the sauce simple. Even my mother only used tomato paste when she made home made pizza. However, there is a certain "taste" I have been searching for from my taste bud memory. I recently was eating a fried onion snack when I realized the taste of onion was that missing taste I had been searching for. Some pizza sauce recipes have onion, many don't. is there a "school" of thought on different recipes for pizza sauce? I'm still searching for that pie that yanks me back to a memory of a pizza I once ate.

I don't eat Hardees burgers because they are too damn big, so ihad not been to one in 10 years. I kept see "Red Burrito" on the outside and decided I wanted to see what this red burrito was? Well you know the answer. I ordered the chicken quesadilla since they had no red burritos. I loved them! Chicken was tender and marinated in a nice garlic sauce. New reason to stop in at Hardees! Well, the last two stores I stopped at had excuses why they couldn't make the quesadillas. Are they being removed from the menu?

For anyone who knew him, Hershel House passed away. I got to meet him at the Arms workshop at Connor Prairie. I first read about Hershel in the Foxfire 5 book series. He was a very important gun smith in the contemporary world of flintlock rifles. He will be missed. http://contemporarymakers.blogspot.com/

I read a book about a troubled, adolescent boy (named Corey I think) who visits southwest America and encounters a native American. He wakes up and discovers that he is now a beaver. He encounters a fox who is known as the Changer. The beaver's name might include the word spear. At the end of the story, he meets the native American again and the man says: "The world flipped upside down." My recollection is that the story is written by a well known author. Would like to read this story again.
