Re: For patients who live with 'chronic pain'

I no longer define my back/arthritis pain as chronic. I have a lot of good days since getting on 100mg/day of CBD and once in a while my regular medication. The CBD is not under a Dr.'s supervision or direction.

Re: Corned beef hash and corn. Where did it come from?

Besides all of that, there was also a rack with grapefruit and, I think, boxes of dry cereal in the mess hall. Breakfast was the best!

Re: Corned beef hash and corn. Where did it come from?

Pretty standard with tomato sauce over white rice in Puerto Rico. One of my favorites and I'll have it a couple times a year. It does give me some acid indigestion, though.

***I was referring to corned beef, not the hash. Read it wrong.

Re: BLR owners - what scope?

I have a standard 3-9x40 on mine because it's a .308 and don't plan on brush hunting. It doesn't look bad. On my traditional levers, the highest I have is x4.

Re: Dutch Oven

I have a 6.75 qt. Wide Dutch Oven from Williams-Sonoma that is awesome. Very wide flat surface for browning, great for large portions of meat sauce (Bolognese), chili, etc. I recommend it over a traditional Dutch Oven if you are to have only one.
Forgot to add it's a Le Creuset.

I have a BLR 308 with a serial number that doesn't seem to make sense. It ends in "K57" but 1957 doesn't make sense. Does anyone have experience with this? Was it built in 1975 instead of 57 or something? Thank you! https://www.browning.com/support/date-your-firearm/blr-lever-action-rifle...

The way things are going, I might just end up taking it apart and hoping I can put it back together. Probably doesn't ne...
