OK folks, this weekend work on your New Years Resolutions, goals and objective, or whatever you call them. Those willing to share can do so next week. I’m going to work on mine over the weekend and Monday or Tuesday will post them up.

Over the last week, I haven’t been watching the news at all. I saw about the passage of the tax bill but beyond that nothing. It was enjoyable but not sustainable. I need to know what is going on not only in my community, region but around the world.

The cold going across the country is amazing. Massive snowfalls in areas combined with freezing temps are not just a pain but dangerous. I’ve heard from one friend that they are having to jump start cars frequently and vehicles with weaker batteries are having to have batteries replaced altogether. Imagine getting stuck out on a country road in sub-freezing temps and no heat. Best be prepared.

The wife got an Insta Pot cooker for Christmas. These are all the rage and so far very good cooking.

So I mentioned I was building that AR for a buddy and I was going to put a 1X-4X scope on it. Changed things up a little and mounted a Bushnell TRS-25 on it and will recommend to the new owner to place a 3X flip out of the way magnifier behind it if magnification is required. bushnell makes one to co-witness with the TRS-25. I know a lot of people scoff at anything other than an EOTech, ACOG, or AimPoint. I’ve had great performance out of the TRS-25 and I know others with first-hand experience who have as well. Reviewing reviews on Amazon just solidifies my decision.

I have to laugh at they hype about the Insta-Pot. It is an electric pressure cooker… they have been around for years folks. That being said, they work and can make cooking any meats that are usually quite tough, tender and done very quickly. you can cook any instapot recipe you want in a regular pressure cooker, even a stove top one.
I’m a big fan of QD mounts, but finding out which mount works with which scope can be difficult when shopping online. Do you have a QD mount on your TRS-25 and if so, what brand/model?
No QD mount Uncle George.
A Happy New Year to all.
I’d just scoff at you for not going with the 1-4 variable, the flip off 3x are nothing but another piece of gear to go bad when needed, throws balance of rifle when using only the dot, adds weight – I have a aimpoint pro but will never put a 3x flip lever on it after running one for 3 months. When i build a AR pistol or get a cz scorpion the Aimpoint goes on that and another 1-4 or 1-6 goes onto that AR.
Scoff away JH.
I thought this was a Scoff Free Zone? Man, those signs NEVER work…
Happy and healthy New Year to all … yes these temps are dangerous. After working outdoors for 45 min. at a time when its minus 2 I feel like my human battery is depleted. Yes we had to jump a vehicle today. Thawing a frozen pipe at the moment.
Maybe that ice age is creeping toward us after all. Lightning
re:
Electric Pressure Cooker
According to researchers with Weston Price, everybody with sensitivity to nickel might need to avoid stainless steel. The nickel added to the alloy reduces rust, but leaches under pressure or contact with acidic foods.
We investigated Instapot. Stamped into the base is the chromium and nickel content == ’18 8′ or ’18 10′, for 18-percent chromium and 8-percent nickel.
Unfortunately, our family won’t risk it. Our typical use for an electric pressure cooker would be bone broth, cooking pastured organic bones with a dash of an acid such as vinegar or lime juice.
Nickel is dangerous stuff. To a system weakened by consuming pesticides, it can be fatal. In addition to physical illnesses on the autoimmune spectrum, nickel is traceable to mental illnesses.
Some stainless steel has no nickel in its alloy. This carries the designation ’18 0′, but rusts quickly if mistreated.
Gramma – They make liners that you can place inside the Insta Pot. Instant fix. FYI
