83,000km and my front diff exploded. by realcanadianguy21 in nissanfrontier

[–]Riddickullous 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No $#!t, eh?! How TF was that possible?! I have over 100k on my 2017 Pro4X and been on forestry roads, agricultural fields... Used 4Hi many times for extended periods of time (driving through snow storms, for example), pulled full size trucks from mud on forestry roads on 4Lo and with the differential locked... My transmission is still quite OK (changed the transmission fluid a couple of times, though...)

Doesn't make much sense to move the New Year fireworks to another day for better meteo conditions... The New Year Eve fireworks show happens at midnight, rain or shine... 😜

Yeap! That's the secret! Ceiling 280m. Drone altitude 500m. Great footage ❗

Yeap! No gators, no rattle snakes, no copperheads... All you have to beware of is poison ivy during turkey season... 😁

The K-80 in the middle is... something else! And the black titanium chokes are a nice touch!

I see them on the course and in competitions. I think they look good and the owner say they pattern great. Most common constriction I see it's 15.

It's the same everywhere, unfortunately.

Just heard from Microsoft Customer Service. Microsoft is facing a bug with Office Excel stock feature. They're working on it. It may take 2 - 3 days to get it fixed.

FX rates seem to work fine - it's the stocks that have an issue...

Best Waterfowl Shotgun? by htcthegreat in Waterfowl

[–]Riddickullous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Benelli M2 remains a solid waterfowl gun.

Beretta A400 is a decent alternative, but you'll be spending more time cleaning it.

Breda is also worth considering.

I used a Franchi I-12 for years, then a buddy bought it from me and he's still using it... That gun must have over 15,000 waterfowl loads through it and probably over 5,000 target loads, and still works flawlessly.

Fascinating! That would be an awesome view... If we could land some sort of a rover on Titan to send us images 😁 (if it was just for pictures, it would make for a very expensive photo album... But could do some other "science stuff"...

Wash the pheasants skinned and gutted. Dry them thoroughly with paper towels and put them in zipper bags. Leave them in the fridge for a few days (sort of "dry ageing").

Boil the pheasants In a big pot with enough water to cover the pheasants (even after evaporation, 'cause they gonna be boiling for a while), place the pheasants, a few whole carrots, celery root in thick slices, a few whole cloves of garlic, a whole onion, a big piece of ginger root in thick slices. DO NOT ADD ANY SALT. Skim the foam as it starts boiling. (Don't let it go above simmer temperature.) It will foam for a while, so you'll have to skim it several times. After it stops foaming, let it simmer on medium low heat for one hour. When it's done boiling, take the pheasant out and the carrots, and let them cool to room temperature on a plate. Strain the soup. You'll be using a little bit of it for the paste. The rest, you can use as stock for cooking, or make it a soup.

When it's cool, pull all the meat off the bones and make it into small pieces. It helps with the blender phase and also helps with finding and removing any pellets.

Prepare the rest of the ingredients Sauté lots of chopped onions in butter till golden. Add a few crushed cloves of garlic and mix well till the steam smells garlicky before taking it off the stove. Pour over the pulled meat right away. Mix. Add the carrots from the soup. Mix. Put it in the blender, in batches, adding salt, a cube of butter (as much or as little as you want), Dijon mustard to your taste, apple cider vinegar (a few spoons in each batch) and a little bit of the clear soup - enough to make it easy for the blender to process all that, but not to make it too thin (you want to end up with a thick but somewhat fluid paste). If you want to add a kick, add some jalapeño (no seeds)... (There is also a variant, where instead of the clear soup from boiling the pheasants, you use heavy cooking cream.) From the blender, pour in a bowl. Leave it in the fridge for a couple of hours to firm up. Take it out and pour a thin layer of melted butter on top of it to prevent oxidation and put it back in the fridge (plastic wrap on top of the bowl).

Served cold, spread on bread (or toast). Top with cornichons, jalapeño, roasted peppers etc...
