on a lighter note...

Looks relaxed and warm. I am wearing a sweatshirt and hat in my house, its a balmy 0 F outside!
You'll be warming up. Usually, a day or 2 after us. After a week+ of not getting to freezing daytime/below 0 at night, the next week will be in the 30's or 40's every day here.

Thanks! That is a shame they closed! My kids used to watch a show on TV and it had some really cool restaurants known for various menu items. I wish I could remember all the really cool ones.

@Just Gina Just come to West-Central Illinois and you can go on a giant tenderloin tour. Spoonies in London Mills, IL, right on the Spoon River, is highly regarded. The Goose Pit in Banner, IL, between Banner Marsh and Rice Lake, just off the Illinois River, has a great one that comes on a single bun as a joke (it could be made into 4 nice sandwiches).

And while you’re in central IL, you could also start trying the legendary Horseshoe. The best I ever had was at Jackson Street Pub in Macomb, IL. Theirs was 2 slices of Texas toast, 2 breaded tenderloins (or hamburgers or chicken breast), then buried under a mountain of waffle fries and cheese sauce. Many others only do the single Texas toast and burger or tenderloin. I changed the life of a feller from Georgia one night with a horseshoe (and probably shortened his life, too).

A steady diet of horseshoes definitely won’t add any time to your life. One of my favorite meals (cheat on diet) of all time however.

Perfectly good waste of a $6million dollar Phoenix missile.
They could have given it a short blast of cannon fire for a few hundred bucks.
Also, a cannon burst would have preserved the payload so we could have seen EXACTLY what it was.

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA
