  • 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.

    Call of Duty "Black Ops"

    I was going to say, weren't we playing TDM? Just hardcore, which I have to say, I really liked. First time I've played it and I really digged it. I like the fact that you have to deal without the hud for the most part and the higher damage makes things much more realistic. I've always hated...

    Rattlesnake in Malibu

    Yeah, and easier to spot. Damn, I hate snakes. Well, no, I think they are really cool creatures, I just hate being anywhere near poisonous snakes that aren't behind glass. Cool picture. If that was taken with a cell phone you are one brave MoFo.

    Flying Dog Imperial Coffee Stout made with Black Dog Coffee

    Nice. That's still incredibly tight supply, but I know they didn't bottle a ton of this stuff to begin with.

    Marlin Guide Gun, who's got one?

    Nice. I finally did pick one up a little while ago. Second trip to the range with it this weekend and it's a kicker, that's for sure. Have the scout scope sighted in, but still need to do the iron sights. I swapped out the standard for XO ghost rings and keep forgetting to bring the right...

    Handguns Steel Alloy VS. Plastic polymer

    I guess I don't really have that much of a preference. I like them both. I have an HK UPS Compact that was my first pistol and I still love it. I also love the Kimber CDP Pro that's fairly new to the stable. I don't really think about "Steel vs Plastic" when I'm looking at a gun I guess.

    Super Bowl Spread?

    Going to a party later. Have a brisket and a Boston butt on the grill smoking right now.

    I'm looking for an excellent rib rub for Super Bowl

    :thumbsup: I'm doing a brisket and possibly a pork butt Sunday. The plan was just the brisket, but then the grocery store and went and put Boston Butt on sale. :grin:

    Call of Duty "Black Ops"

    I can't agree with that, but maybe I'm not considering camping the same thing you are. I "camp" where I believe I can get kills. I see no point to sitting in a corner where I'm never going to get any kills. And seriously, not caring about your team winning? If any of the people playing in...

    I'm looking for an excellent rib rub for Super Bowl

    Oh, one thing that would be helpful in suggesting things is knowing how you are going to cook the ribs. Are you smoking (low and slow for hours and hours) or grilling at a slightly higher temp? If grilling you'll need to be careful about the sugar content.

    I'm looking for an excellent rib rub for Super Bowl

    Just be careful if you are going to use a rub with salt in it about the whole "marinating" thing. If you use a rub with a lot of salt in it you risk having the ribs coming out tasting "ham-ish". OH, and the whole dry/wet rub thing. Regular old yellow mustard is pretty much the standard for a...

    Electric Fireplace?

    I was just teasin', bro'. I hear you. I wouldn't try to put a real fireplace in an existing home, too many issues and way too much cost, IMHO. However, if I ever build, or ever have the chance to buy with a fireplace we'll do it. Even living in FL, we get jealous as hell when the temps drop...

    Sooo mad / embarrassed

    What a tool, sorry for your luck bro. I hear you, it's always difficult when you start dealing with referring people for jobs.

    Electric Fireplace?

    In response to the Title of the thread: Hell No. Go real or go home. ;) That being said, that's a nice looking electric fireplace. I'm sure the wife will love it. :thumbsup:

    Quick question on seasoning humidor...

    What they said. I wouldn't leave them outside to season. Too many things you can't control. If you want to get them seasoned before putting them into the wine cooler throw them in a tupperware-type container with a container of DW (or beads if you have extra, still wouldn't hurt to put a...

    AirGun Scope? need suggestions.

    Depends on the airgun. I'm talking mainly about spring-air guns. It has to do with the dual recoil of a spring-air gun going both rearward and forward.

    AirGun Scope? need suggestions.

    As was mentioned earlier, a regular firearms scope, especially a cheap one, will be lucky to last a single session. The recoil is totally different from that of a firearm and it flat out destroys regular scopes. When you talk about your experience are you talking about .177 pellet guns or...

    Call of Duty "Black Ops"

    What he said. Sorry, but it gives me pleasure to tkae out a bunch of guys running around the map like chickens with their heads cut off. Two sides of the coin I guess. :assaultri
