• BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    How long should they "soak"

    DX, temperature and RH are linked. When it gets colder, the amount of water vapor that the air can "hold" decreases, therefor the RH increases. So, when the temps dipped, the amount of water vapor that was in the air caused the RH to jump. Your humidification device (beads I'm assuming?)...

    Ummm, yeah, I'm not clicking that link. Me no trusty. And plus, what Bdc30 said!

    Reloading

    I bought a set up a while back, but I honestly don't shoot enough. The point is to shoot more when you reload, but reloading didn't add any more time to my schedule, so it didn't work! ;) Getting licensed? Please look into some VERY good liability insurance and make sure you really, really...

    It goes bang bang bang

    I don't know what your means are, but if you have them, strongly, STRONGLY consider an ACOG. I can tell you now that I'd have one in a heartbeat if I had the cash. Perfect combination of point and shoot and mid-distance precision. If not, all kinds of red-dots to go with, though Aim-Point is...

    Favorite Stout?

    Haven't tried enough to be able to really say. I tend ot keep some of the various Sam Adams Stouts on hand, but I've not yet come across a good place to pick up the more esoteric stuff. Heck, I wasn't even aware you can age beer, but now that I know I'm probably in trouble. For those...

    I am going to need to get some balls

    Uh, yeah, you could say that! LOL. When you consider my average score is around 120, I didn't do that terribly. PSD, do you mean the Por Larranaga? If so, not too much, I think it was 3-4 years old? The Monte should be around 8-10 years at this point though I'm not positive as the QC...

    My M&P 40

    Nice pistol. I have the HK UPSC, don't think you could go wrong eith either, just a matter of features. Of course, if I was in the market I would probably be looking at H&K's newest, the P30. Great pistol.

    Something to think about!

    I'm not sure if we are all on the same page here, because I see people apologizing for things that I don't see (as they are explained) as a problem. Example: Headbanger sends me a PM about bombing Boppa-Wasch into the ground. No problems whatsoever. Example2: (not using actual names so...

    Question for all you chefs

    Yep, I haven't done one (yet), but I wouldn't use a good beer for this. I've got some cans of Busch Lite or some such that sits in my fridge because someone left them there and I would use those. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    salt calibration test questions/frustration

    WOAH!:thinkidea Are you trying to calibrate an analog (non-digital) hygrometer???? If so, I just found your problem. The reason you aren't getting consistent readings is because it's an analog hygrometer. Those things are good for nothing but decoration. Get yourself a digital ASAP...

    salt calibration test questions/frustration

    Guys, the salt test is a make-shift way of doing things. It can be hit or miss and is open for errors on our end. Get yourself a Boveda calibration pack. Giants hit it on the head on the time as well. You need to let this go for a while and temperature fluctuations will affect readings...

    Something to think about!

    My .02. There are ways to go about this, and sending PM's to people you do not know is not one of them. Certainly(!) there are times and situations where pulling together a number of people to lay the smack down on a deserving brother is called for. In those situations either a general thread...

    I am going to need to get some balls

    LOL. I have no idea how many balls I lost. Didn't keep track, but I know it was a bunch. I just ordered a bunch from LostGolfBalls.com to replenish my stock as I was already getting low. It was a BEAUTIFUL course. Really, if you hit the ball moderately straight the water wouldn't give you...

    Got a Few New Boxes.... Now What

    Ziplock baggies will hold you over. Better if you can throw some beads in with them, but I wouldn't sweat it too much. Most places ship their sticks somewhat overhumidified to account for loss of humidity in transport, so as long as they haven't been sitting out for long before going into the...

    My Confessional

    Does this affect your ability to enjoy cigars or the hobby in general? Does this affect your ability to enjoy cigars or the hobby in general? (personally, it helps me when I don't think about how many dollars I'm turning into ash while smoking...) Nonsense. Ask questions, provide...

    I need to pick this up. I've been meaning to, but the last time I went looking they still wanted within $5 of full price for a used copy.

    How long should they "soak"

    Not to toot my own horn, as I wrote this, but check out this stickied thread: Seasoning Check the calibration on your hygro again, it can't hurt and it will at least let you know you've removed the most important variable. Anything you do to correct the issue will only cause further...

    A primer on humidification and seasoning

    I wasn't trying to say otherwise, bro, but good points. Lots of, "it depends" with something like this. You can certainly let the RH go higher before pulling the water out, 70-75% is just where I tend to start looking to do so. But that's with adding in a hydration source (beads etc.).

    I am going to need to get some balls

    Back atcha! Can't wait to try those sticks. Folks, if you have the opportunity to smoke, play or just plain hang out with Michael, TAKE IT! I had a great time both hanging out the night before and on the course. It helped that we were paired with a great couple from DC that seemed like...
