I just put together an M1a after years of wanting one. Found a McMillan stock for cheap and built it up like a quasi M25 clone. I've got it hitting around 1 MOA consistently but am still tweaking. I love it. My good friend had a National Match and a Super Match that I shot a lot over the years, and I had to scratch the itch when the opportunity came up.
We've had a cabin in the mountains of Wise County for as long as I've been alive and deer hunting was always a rite of passage. I can remember being a kid and not seeing a deer the whole week of rifle season during Thanksgiving. Lots of amazing memories, but not many involving deer.
The valley where I live had a rich history in farming and dairy in the 40's and 50's, and all that started phasing out in the late 80's. As the farms grew up, the deer moved in. I can remember seeing a deer at my family home as a teenager and it was as if I saw bigfoot. Now they are in my yard every evening, and if you drive the loop around the valley you can count over 100 on most evenings. It's crazy how the population has exploded as hunting has waned and land usage has changed. Responsible harvesting would seem to mesh nicely however there's an imbalance somewhere.
Somewhat related, I was in Carolina Beach this past week and stopped into a pizza place with the family to try and grab something quick to eat. Looked around and saw a lot of VT stuff on the walls and I asked the cashier if they were Hokies. A guy in the back spoke up and stated his cousin operated out of Blacksburg. Long story short - it was Benny's and the pizza was good. Huge slices, but good. It was neat to see pictures of the Hokie Bird and VT stuff scattered about the place unexpectedly. I gave them a GO HOKIES on the way out.

Yeah, I used yellow the first time and my wife noted the lack of "something" the first time, right off the bat. The swap to white onion clinched the deal. In my opinion it was the sweetness in the yellow onion and the lack of the snappiness of the white onion and the sweetness masked a little of the heat from the raw garlic.
Awesome, thanks for the addition info, especially on the onion. Yellow is my usual go to, but I'll try white onion first now. I may try to use the cheese shredder attachment on my food processor for the onions. It definitely works for onion in slaw and saves some time.
I really liked taking my fly rod out to farm ponds to harvest panfish when I was in HS.
Poppers on the surface were murder on those guys, felt like cheating.
I went to school with a farmers kid and mentioned looking for ponds with fish. He told me his dad was trying to get somebody to fish the panfish down. I rode my bike out with my fly tackle and he was surprised, expected a spinning outfit.
He called his buddy over and they sat and drank beers and grilled fish I caught. Just sat and watched and said they didn't realize how graceful fly fishing could be.
Got a standing invite to a few ponds once word got out a 15 yr old kid that flyfished with his own handmade flies and lures was willing to work the ponds.
Dry flies that mimicked top floating spiders and small poppers.
That was a lot of fun and good food.
I really like venison sausage and venison chilli.
I am seeing does all over the place and many fauns. We have 2 born in our backyard each year. Read Mtn preserve is right across the street from our house. There are predators up there so they come bed down in the neighborhood.
I've been here for almost 20 years but only saw bucks a couple times. Whitetail.
My M1a whispers to me sometimes but culling here would be irresponsible and not legal.
Yeah, when I was a kid it was considered a garbage cut and my Mom and Grandmas used them for broth and soups.
I used to buy them because it was all I could afford, dried beans, rice, tomatoes, chicken wings and eggs.
No joke. Awhile back I saw a special on wings for $1 a piece. I about shit a brick.
Telemundo also doesn't have Alexi Lalas which is a huge plus.
After looking at that, the german player was playing to interfere with the goalie. The foul is justified.
Noted! Thanks for the details!
It should be overhauled. The bullpen has been terrible for the last 3 seasons.
I've found myself watching the Telemundo feed despite only knowing a few phrases and words of Spanish (4 years of goofing off in the back of class gets me that) because of how bad Fox is. Everything is so bland. Even when a goal is scored there's barely any excitement. At least on Telemundo I can feel the passion even I don't understand all the commentary. Once again The Simpsons proving true to life
Independent confirmation from knowledgeable source that this is accurate. The mustard is definitely Guldens spicy brown and use white onion, not yellow or sweet onion. It makes a difference in the balance and aroma.
Scaled it down to 1 Qt. and built it.
Can confirm that it us accurate. 1 piece of advice, Very finely mince or use a plane on the onion. It improves with a couple hours sitting completed.
The Mae Ploy is a sweet chilli sauce. It is available at Kroger. My source tells me it was their "secret ingredient:.
And the Jack Brown Sweet Potato Fries. Awesome on them!

Also Old 33 in Elkton has a decent selection of burgers but the real reason to go there is for their regular fries dipped in house sauce; it's a must have!
.25 wings, man those were the days. i remember the .10 wings at Mindi's back in the day in Luray.

My wife is wanting to go out to Amarillo Texas in a couple weeks and then over to Carlsbad, NM. Anything anybody thinks is an absolute must on the way over or back from those areas?
We have Dura Canyon and the Caverns already penciled in.
I really liked taking my fly rod out to farm ponds to harvest panfish when I was in HS.
first kind of fishing I did. Dad got me a flyrod when I was 7 and would skull paddle me around a friend's pond after work and we'd fish til dark
in HS, I got into light spinning tackle...mostly rooster tails
in grad school, a buddy and I would take a canoe out to a local borrow pit and fish yellow poppers and sinking gnats
got into the small tube jigs when I worked in Lafayette, La and fished the Atchafalaya basin. hard to do much fly fishing in that much timber and overhanging willows. but tube jigs tight-lined around stumps and bounced on the bottom are killer
