@Jeff Forrester - sent you an email.

Is this a trick? Free XL hunting clothes? 🫣

I asked my PH on WhatsApp, his response: Nope , in a number of African countries you aren't allowed to have camo clothing , to avoid pseudo military operations and what not. And in Zim no military camo.

Little Betty is good. The Duck Fat Washed Old Fashioned was so special I had to reverse engineer that at my house. Helen is very solid. You need to try Rob’s new “sister” restaurant Bayonet (it’s next to Helen). …and we need more pictures with this thread.

Sweet @Terry Houin knows how to find me. Count me in!

I will be at SCI in two weeks. Would love to get together if y’all are around.

Locando Brasato in Birmingham, AL. Veal meatballs were astoundingly good with toasted rosemary over polenta. The spaghetti carbonara is simply not to be missed. This is a classic dish I hold to a high standard- and this has made the top 3-5 in the country.

Southeast. I travel a lot - both work and personal. Only missing five states to hit all fifty.

This is a dangerous thread for me. I seek out good food when I travel. Recent drive from Denver. The Cozy Inn in Salina, KS. Opened since 1922. Only four owners throughout its history. They are a “White Castle on steroids”. Hand patty, buns from Flours Bakery in ATL, and they go through...

Pizzaria Bianco in PHX not to be missed. Pat approved with a stellar Negroni.

Shaya is absolutely stellar. As is hit Saba location in Denver.

I shot my first ducks with a break action 20ga DU Edition. Other than it being my “first” for wing shooting as a kid, I can’t say a share the affection.

Purchased sight unseen from the second owner. Not running with 102k on the clock. Now running and a very comfortable daily driver. Bumpers, sliders, expo rack, axle and suspension swap.

I’m slowly making the transition to Spartan. I’ve got Harris, Atlas, and Q. The Spartan system definitely seems to slot the weight, durability, and modularity of moving across rifles and uses extremely well. I picked up the FE x Spartan recently to add to my Fix.

Eric Sarjeant at Ed Martin Toyota in Indiana. He is active as a supporting vendor on MUD. They have done some very high end OEM+ builds through that dealer.
