I agree @918HCKR that all foods should be rotated. FIFO concept. That said I do have home canned foods that have kept well for 4 years and, some, longer. The foods, of course, lose nutritional value and texture. I remove my rings after 24 hours and gently wash the jars in warm soapy water. It's easier to check for a break in the seal without the rings causing a "false seal". Don't take me wrong please. I think the 18-24 months is a solid recommendation, just not an absolute. I'll be using some pickled jalapeños in a recipe today that I canned in 2019. The seal was great but the pepper texture is soft. Taste is still awesome When I help folks get started in canning I always recommend strictly following trusted guidelines, such as Ball's Bluebook and USDA too. Since I'm gimped up (ankle surgery) I'll be very late getting my garden started this year, but look forward to grabbing some fresh veggies from the local farmer's market and canning them .

Must watch movie/television recommendations & interesting shows
Jamie Jackson replied to Links2k's topic in General Chat
Thanks @Links2k. I've got the "3 Body Problem" in my que. I am thoroughly enjoying "Shogun" on Hulu. I remember the original series on TV and read the book a very long time ago. I'm impatient by nature so waiting for weekly episodes to drop is not my favorite thing... but the series is developing well. I like old cheesy action movies... like the original "Road House" with Patrick Swayze , Sam Elliot, and Ben Gazzara (1989). But then I think "Lethal Weapon" and "Die Hard" are excellent Christmas movies The "Road House 2024" on Netflix is an abomination! Blasphemy! and I can't get that part of my life back... ETA: I stuck for the next 4-5 weeks on a walker/rollator and ortho boot according to my surgeon yesterday...LIMITED weight bearing hoping the tendons attach properly...so please keep recommendations coming in please. -

I don't know if you use TargetSports (I'm a discount member) but they have Armscor .22 short 29 gr solids for $50.59/500. They list several OOS .22 shorts including CCI 27 gr HP. You can set up notifications easily and I've had pretty good luck doing so over the past several months. Heck, I don't even need any and it's tempting

Black Cat firecrackers got mine. Durable little guys We only had Zippos and matches LOL -
Things the next generation simply won't understand
Jamie Jackson replied to NoBanStan's topic in General Chat
I think that was the glue. iirc it would harden sealing the slit in the rubber top and would need to be reopened with a knife or pair of scissors. Good times -
@Garufa is 100% spot on in developing a relationship with your Dentist and following up with a preventative maintenance program. We've seen lots of dental issues in the ER over the years. But ER's are very limited in their treatment capabilities. Maybe a Lidocaine / Bupivacaine injection (not all ER Doc's are skilled at this btw), anti-inflammatories, and antibiotics. I met our Dentist when we first moved to Knoxville (travel assignment) in 2006. I see him every 6 months for a cleaning and checkup. I made certain he was "In Plan" when I purchased a supplemental policy for Medicare. I had a toothache several years ago, of course on a weekend, called him (I have his cell#). he met me at his closed office and got me started on the appropriate meds. Made my weekend tolerable and followed up a few days later. And he's a gun guy. A solid professional relationship helps.. FWIW Eugenol is the agent in oil of cloves that serves as an antiseptic and analgesic. We used it 50 years ago when I was a Corpsman treating toothaches and/or when putting in temporary fillings to Marines out in the field. You can pick up a "Kit" at Walmart or CVS/Walgreens usually. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Red-Cross-Toothache-Medication-0-125oz-Bottle/46008054?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=0&adid=2222222222746008054_14069003552_202077872&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=42423897272&wl4=pla-295289030566&wl5=9013463&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=8175035&wl11=online&wl12=46008054&veh=sem&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2PSvBhDjARIsAKc2cgNy4rExg4403cXSMN14Y8OIC_v0YjC7XyvY-oC9bKYA9Wnr1uYQCMAaAiVHEALw_wcB Being on blood thinners and heart meds can certainly make treatment options challenging. Hope things are getting better for you @DeepSouth

I have the TX 22 Compact and it is remarkably reliable at well over 5K rounds. Best .22 I've ever owned. Good on Taurus for taking care of you!

Prayers sent @tacops. You've been through the mill! God is the place to put your faith
-
Prayers for an uneventful and speedy recovery! I'm 70 and just had the cast removed from my ankle surgery a couple of days ago. Got me some spanking new titanium anchor and tendons/ligaments reattached. Rocking a classy robo-boot that looks like something out of a transformer movie My home looks like a well armed and fortified nursing home LOL. The most frustrating part is not being able to go to the range. My buds keep sending me video clips of them shooting steel setups at ORSA. You would think they'd have the decency to keep that to themselves. Aging has it challenges no doubt. Best wishes to all in this boat. It's been a fun ride!

Thank you my friend! Everything I've read and the P&S Podcasts I've listened to have me really wanting to, at the very least, handle one. So I am envious! I would be tempted (very) to pick up a 632 & a 432. It looks like Smith, Jason Cloessner (Lipsey's) and some for-real gun people collaborated to knock this one out of the park. I already have some Lost River .32 H&R mag for carry (LCR) and I handload .32 S&W/ H&R Mag, so... I'm obviously rationalizing to justify the purchase LOL Sorry to drift
-
Acknowledging that @Moped has keenly developed enabling skills and therefore ask he, or anyone local, keep an eye open for one of the S&W 432 UC (.32 H&R mag) that Lipsey's was so instrumental in bringing to reality. It's not that I need one but Man! Do I ever want one. That's $500.00 worth of useful custom work rolled into a reasonable factory price. No fluff, just a serious little pocket revolver. TIA

I remember reading the various threads you guys had running then, and learned a lot from the group. A couple of us that shot together were learning to cast and powder coat (even 7.62x39 bullets) and Dolo and Caster were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Probably still have notes from back then. Yeah, sorry to drift off on the 5.56/.223. Interesting reading though. Glad to hear Mr. David is on this side of the green. I wish him and his well.

Mom's are a devious bunch!

Thank you @Sleep profit. Parts just wear out and it takes longer to mend. I did a fair amount of remodeling over the past couple of years with the "Aging in place" concept in mind. It came in handy sooner than I anticipated! LOL I should have installed an outdoor chair lift to the garden.

Thank you @mikegideon and @gregintenn. I couldn't remember the Magnum Metals... @DeepSouth, you may have already read this, but the link below will take you to a 2012 thread regarding this powder and 5.56/.223
