Nope, but I’ve been looking for a 9mm or .45 SBR (is that the correct name for these guns?) for a while. All recommendations are welcome.

I don’t think that’s an SBR since it’s fired from the hand, not the shoulder.

On edit - I think I see something folded behind, so it might be an sbr.

I was checking this out. Grand Power Stribog SP9A1 Gen 2.

It looks like this one sells for around $700 versus over $2k for the APC9 K Pro.

Pretty sure that’s a brace attached and not a stock, so it should be considered a pistol. Could be totally wrong, though.

I spent two weeks working from our lake house and just got back to the big city. Getting renovation done there, so headed back next weekend. Office is 300 ft of lake frontage. Everyone’s figuring out there’s no reason to go to an office! Sell short all commercial real estate because no one needs the fixed costs! Image
Agree, been trying to work 2 days a week from home for a year but my boss doesn't want to do it fixed (I can ask day by day and she always says yes though... I just don't do it every week). Hope she sees after all this that all work got done on time.

Regarding guns, I only have holsters for my concealed carry guns (MP shield, Ruger LCP2 and Walther PPQ SC) and for my IDPA gun (Walther PPQ M2 5", OWB holster), been browsing OWB holsters for my Glock 19 with Streamlight TLR-1 light. You know, in case SHTF :grin: I have another Glock 19 without light... might as well get a holster for it.

Also want this:

And to end my post: two nice photos with my son from last month... damn how I wish I could do that with him tomorrow:

He's better than me with the bow and arrow!
If shtf, my rifle doesn’t need a backpack. It’ll be out and close to me. Just something to keep in my mind. You could use that space for other things.

Thanks Ed! There was a lot of eyeballing, and even when I "measured twice" I still managed to screw up a couple times. It makes no difference, it does the job and the mistakes are hidden with the box in the way lol

I don't know where else to put this, but is anyone using an Instantpot these days? I wanted to share a killer chicken penne alfredo recipe that kicks ass. I know pasta is hard to come by these days and I had to substitute ziti tonight, but it'll work just fine.

https://www.number-2-pencil.com/instant ... o-pasta-4/

Some notes-
-absolutely use heavy cream. The lighter stuff hates pressure cookers
-absolutely use a wedge of parmesan and hand grate. The pre-grated will not melt right
if-if you want to add broccoli, DO NOT put in with the rest of the ingredients. Cook it on the side and add after the fact

I cannot guarantee this will get you laid, but it works for me every time ImageImage

our most-used instant pot recipe:

https://www.dadcooksdinner.com/pressure ... at-cheese/

you can sub fresh grated parm for the goat cheese, too (we do). and add other veggies if you want them. about 80% as good as regular, harder to make risotto, but about 15% of the work.

Yep. A shtf go bag is exactly that. What you’re left humping needs to be supplemented with consumed water eventually. But i get the inclination. You can keep that bag for your S.O., and load it with other contingent items, while wearing other weapons on your person.

Wish I had those toys available to me. Man I wish I had that scorpion, too.

Just make sure she has the red pressure indicator pin in. I'm the one who uses it in household but my girlfriend decided to surprise me a few weeks ago. She didn't put the pin back after the lid went thru the dishwasher and I came home to "BURN" on the display. What a mess..

Also, the ziti didn't work as well as I hoped. It all tasted good but the sauce didn't mix well. Mat have also been the Walmart heavy cream (I usually use Hood)

My wife bought an insta pot last year- everything she makes in it is bland. She always boils eggs in it though.

I luckily miss out on most of her meals- when I’m not working I almost always cook dinner. So the 3 days at work the kids have to suffer with at least one bland instapot meal a week :)


We did just get an air fryer last week. We’ve just made some fries and tater tots. Very crispy.
And I made wings last week in it. My son claimed they are better than bw3, but I wouldn’t go that far.

The insta pot is great for refried beans, if you like mexican food.
