Re: Tell us about yourself...

Greetings fellow members, I do not yet own a 204 but am gathering the components for a build. I have a Sako 85xs action and stock, and am currently searching for a barrel. I have it under good competent authority that the lilja barrel in the Swap Meet forum is still available. You should contact hi...

Hodgdon H322 is an Extreme powder. Works good with the 204 Ruger.

Re: Annual Sausage Making

Right out of the Marines in'79, I shot a deer and decided to process it myself. Lesson learned. Now I send it to the local butcher to process. Call me whatever you will, but I would rather pay someone else than carve up a deer. Don't have the right tools for that. On the other hand now, ducks get br...

Re: Annual Sausage Making

That looks like a lot of family fun, and some good eating as well. What do we have to do to get an invite next year. By the way, those stuffed jalapeños look like they could cut the mustard here in Texas. We have a special love affair with jalapeño ANYTHING! I'll bring some fried teal with creamy ho...

Yessir, those are bluebonnets. In a couple of months when the spring starts they will blanket a good portion of the Lone Star State. It's just gorgeous that time of year.

Re: Alter Obsessions

I would think this falls under the category of Alter Obsessions. My lifelong obsession with motorcycles. This is a Big Dog K9 I bought back in 2008. Wish I still had it.

Re: Alter Obsessions

If the link works it will take you to a live performance we did last November at the 19th Hole Grill & Bar in Spring, Texas. My daughter took the video on her iPhone, so the quality isn't all that good. Enjoy!

Re: Alter Obsessions

I absolutely hate going fishing with my son. He always ends up with the biggest fish. We were fishing the Mississippi delta where he lives. Look at that little rod and coffee grinder reel. Well, can't really see the reel but SERIOUSLY!!!

Re: Alter Obsessions

Baked crappie, mac & cheese and hush puppies are hard to beat. Now there's a man that knows how to eat. On Lake Livingston, the White Bass will start their run in early spring. They will migrate from the creeks out into the lake and congregate around Pine Island. That's when I will be stalking ...

Re: Alter Obsessions

This is a track on Soundcloud called Devils Daughter. I'm playing the bass. Just a caution that this is just a practice session and not the polished version we usually do at venues. Hope the link works. . https://soundcloud.com/jdw463/devils-daughter-edit-1-render-1 Here's a picture of me at the Hou...

Since the Members Lounge has been getting so much attention lately I thought I would start a new topic. You may know me as "skipper". However you might not know that I don't capitalize my username out of respect to those who earned the title through OCS or some other officer training progr...
