The Thelma and Louise of Fat Dudes
April 16th, 2009Look Out
Mike is in town, so the overeating started last night. Someone please intervene.
Today we have a number of options. Costco. Gordon Food Supply. And he was so impressed with my trash pile mahogany boards, he wants to make one. Go figure. He also wants to bust out the motorcycles.
I’m trying to get him to hang out long enough to visit church.
With a reader’s help, I think I figured out what I need to do about my router fence. All I need is something that extends out from the back side of the Biesemeyer. The parallelism is outstanding, and the precision is hard to beat. I could add a DRO to the Biesemeyer system, too, or I could must mount a dial indicator and some sort of screw adjustment on the router part. Anyway, this should be very easy compared to the harder solutions I found, and it should be much cheaper than the expensive ones.
I also have 3,000 pistol primers on the way! Do you care? Probably not. But I’m ecstatic. These things have been hard to find. And these are Federals, which may solve the problems I’ve had with .357 ammunition failing to fire properly. Federals are soft, and the new spring in my 27-2 is weak, so this should be a good combination. I also broke down and got a chronograph. There is just no way to avoid it. I can’t keep putzing around, taking a face shield to the range and praying the first shot doesn’t blow my 1911 apart. That is not the right way to work up a load. And I would very much like to create loads for Wolf primers, because they’re dirt, DIRT cheap.
Mike wants to make a video teaching people how to make 10-minute pizza. We ought to do it. I’d pay ten bucks for something like that, wouldn’t you?

do you mean ‘mike wants to make a pizza video showing people how to make a ten minute pizza”?

Steve – can you run a picture of your 27-2 sometime? I remember when you bought it a few months back, but don’t recall any photos. Model 27s are really superb weapons – the early ones better, in my humble opinion, than Colt Pythons.

Og, that’s closer than what I wrote.

Max, Jim of Smoke on the Water found that gun for me! It’s a real beauty, it has the 5″ barrel, and the price was good. I can’t shoot it for squat, however. I have to get to work on that.

I’d buy one…PayPal okay?

In fact, I’m just about to start making the dough for tomorrow night’s Pizza. You might want to consider a “Food Processor-less” version of the dough recipe though…I did it by hand, and it turned out fine, but then I was also attentive to kneeding, and then kneeding, and then kneeding some more. I felt like Helga the masseuse working on Michael Moore.

Well, think about it. I gave a food processor recipe because it did away with the necessity of kneading. If I go back to kneading, it would be like giving someone a word processor and then trying to sell them on a ballpoint pen.
.
I think everyone already knows the old way.

Be gentle with me; it was my first time kneading (as evidenced by my spelling) and I worried that I wasn’t doing IT right…;-)
.
Actually, it wasn’t that hard. The only confusion for me was in converting the “keep processing for a full minute” into a consistancy while kneading.

Pizza Update:
.
I left the dough to rise overnight…it’s at least twice as big as last time…I took pictures. If it bakes well, I’ll make this standard practice.
.
I’ll post the pictures on the forum.
.
I just wish my family would let me get creative with the toppings (I’m more of the “Garbage Pizza” type, but Pepperoni is the most they’ll tolerate).
.
Happy Pizza Making!
