Its all political debate. The corporations are always viewed as the big bad Satan, regardless of the science. Anytime someone might make a buck the tree hugging libs go off about how bad it will be......unless they are the one making the buck. here is yet another finding that everyone was pointing fingers at the big bad gas companies, and guess what....http://wnbf.com/susquehanna-county-methane-is-naturally-caused/ Now ive posted 2 different links about the gas companies not being the evil twin of satan, why has no one posted link showing they are? If you get past them being satan and listen to the science they offer, you might actually be able to make an informed decision, not an emotional one.

i used alot of different pellets this year, and all of the mixed or soft pellets were not as dense as the all hardwood. (40lb bag of hardwood filled the box, 3/4 of a 40lb bag of mix filled the box), then i would have to double the feed rate to get any heat out of them. the ash was fluffier though. much easier to vacuum.

Doc..... yes midway is trying to sell you chronos, turkey calls and duck boots because thats all they have to sell! i dont see you ranting on gander or dicks.... So what would you expect midway to do... tell the ammo manufacturers to wave their magic wand and produce everything you need when you need it? Midway has dug deep looking for suppliers here and abroad to find any ammo to sell. half the manufactures they have stocked lately i never heard of. So lay off larry and direct your anger to the problem, not those trying to do what they can to make a bad situation better.

OH NO not a used car dealer.......lol Welcome!

sits you'er one of the few who is consistent in their veiws. in a previous post you stated your dislike for all energy companies including the pellet makers. that makes you a true believer not a socialist. most so called environmentalists are nothing more than hypocrites. They preach how bad it is to explore other energy sources as they sit in their 4000 sqft house with all the lights on a/c running in one room while the heat is on in another. most drive a prius if someone might see them, a land rover if no ones looking. why do i view many of these frauds as '3 headed green monsters'? because their politics have pushed us into the position we are in now. All major car companies have cars that achieve 70mpg, not hybrides, not plug in electrics, just conventional diesel burning cars. NOT allowed in the US. can anyone explain that? our energy/clean air policy simply sucks. and who was it written by? these folks have no concept, or are unable to connect the dots as to what they are 'fighting for'. how do we know? the chevy volt or nissan leaf. plug in electric cars that wont go far enough to get me to work and take 12 to 14 hours to recharge. they actually think that charging stations on the thruway is going to help people buy and use them. 1st you have to be able to get to them, them you have to stay at the rest stop for 12 hours......oh and where does the electric come from? back to the energy question that we are debating here. Im all for not 'drilling' on state land, but if the neighboring wells can drill under the stateland and not disturb the surface, and the revenue it properly used, yep i dont have a problem with it happening.

Natural gas prices have dropped, to historical lows. thats part of the reason the Natural gas companies are having cash flow problems making them prime targets for investors with cash (china). For some one who pays a lot of attention to the news and political arena, you seem to miss a few things. yes there is a movement towards cng (compressed natural gas) vehicals. municipalities and some buisness have begun to move into cng vehicles do to lower cost of operation. general acceptance of cng will increase as availability to filling stations increase. as the number of filling stations increase, the more accepted it will become. unlike the electric cars, there is little to no difference to the end user in the operation. As cng becomes more prevalent demand on gasoline/diesel drops, hence the price drops. Now sustained logging for building materials works when properly managed, but for use as an energy source for the masses? did we really forget the history of clearcutting in the 1800's? yea it didnt help the environment then and it would take 1000 times more forest resources now than it did then. The one thing we do agree upon is the planting of the pines by the ccc. long term not the best choice of tree. now that they are mature, they have little value accept possible a 2x4. They do not make good wood pellets for heating. much lower btu content per ton, compared to hard wood pellets. (i do burn pellets, and have learned). And why do i and many others burn less efficient, dirtier burning pellets? because its cheaper. leaves more money to feed the kids.

the basics i learned from mom, my advanced studies came from the food network (gotta love alton brown) the rest has been trial and error (and an ex-wife who had problems even dialing the pizza delivery place!)

i still use a manual grinder. works well, the trick is freeze the grinder first, and grind the meat while partially frozen. a fillet knife is the knife of choice for cutting it up.

save yourself the grinding time..... take a pack of stew meat or steaks or any other part, and partially thaw. without separating the pieces, slice 3/16 slabs off. (a knife works, i use my meat slicer) liberally coat both side with your favorite spice mix.(most commercial spice mixes have lots of salt so no curing salt is needed) let soak overnight. place in the smoker/dehydrator until dry. i toss mine in the smoker for an hour or so then the dehydrator for another 12 or so. prep time is less than 20min, cook time takes way to long, and eat time ....gone by lunch!

just spot checked some stuff on midway. they have more now then 3 months ago. still no consistent supply of 22lr, but they had 22cal bullets (not ammo), 30 cal bullets some powders and a few shotgun/muzzleloading primers. Not a lot of variety but some stuff they didnt have not long ago.

Ease up there Doc. Larry's or his company isnt the problem here. we all are frustrated by the situation at hand, but you cant kill the messenger. they are in just as big of bind as everyone else. Look at it from his perspective, you cant sell what you cant get! tough to make payroll when 1/2 your core business is non-existent. direct that disgust where it belongs, the crisis manufactures called the government!

The heck with the bullheads, thats northern pike water! (season opens friday night at midnight)

"im not the strapping young muslim socialist i use to be" obama. (yep he said it)

that came out pretty good for a first timer!

decent tine length but no girth. i say if the rack is that decent, why lie about it? mount it and be happy!

very impressive! nice work!

Not a new concept..... Fiat did it in the early 70's, they offered a muzzle loader with any new fiat.

just continuing proof of lack of his character.

momma yote let you that close? coooool! now wheres the gun....i mean video camera...

Did you wire brush them before you reinstalled the cables? the terms will get a dark grey coating if corrosion on them that wont conduct. i cant tell you how many times people have thought they needed a new battery, but just needed an unhook, scrub and reassemble. or a fuse in the fuel tank!

I cant believe this.... obama could not have the courtesy to send an official delegate to attend Margrett Thatchers funeral. the only other country to decline the invitation was argentina (now thats holding a grudge!) What a disgrace he is to the office.

have the battery tested (most parts stores do it for free) and make sure where the cable contact the terminals are clean. just experience.

so when is the cookbook coming out?

but you dont need 30 shots to kill a squirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrl!

although his style of hunting isnt for me, Ted Nugent has had a big influence on me. Ted made millions as a musician, could have done all the things every rock star does, be he returned to his roots. hes also used his fame to promote the sport we all love. stick to your roots, defend your passions and 'leave me the hell alone'
