    Phxtoad's AR/Carbine transport bag

    Goal: Discrete/Diversionary (but certainly not diminutive) rifle bag for multiple AR's or similar. A bag that one could throw all their range gear in and not draw too much obvious attention, and that offers reasonable protection for the contents. Looking through some posts on other forums I...

    Phxtoad's solar generator du jour

    PHXTOAD'S SOLAR GENERATOR This should say 'Anderson 12v input', not Nelson... Here's a little project that I obviously got a bit carried away making. It's my first foray into Solar, and I've had fun putting it together. The genesis for this project started a year ago when a quick...

    Phxtoad's KJ - 10 years of wheelin'

    Colt Army .38

    I've been eyeing wheel guns lately and decided to pick up one. My local gun shop had this for a fair price and I couldn't resist. It was manufactured in 1920 and still shoots wonderfully. It locks up tightly and the trigger is nice and smooth. Not bad for being 92 years old I figure.

    Cider Chops with Grilled Apples

    We just tried the recipe out of the current Overland Journal. Wow, thats fun stuff! I've never had grilled apples and it couldn't pair any better with the pork. Our asparagus died before we got around to cooking it though. Intead we substituted the ultimate simple side instead: Stove Top...

    Ruger LCP

    Novice shooter here. Spent some firearms class time this last summer, and since then I have been practicing at the range with the wife's old .45 and .40. I recently purchased the little Ruger LCP .380 auto to add to our collection. I was looking for something a bit cheaper to shoot and...

    Phoenix area art/photo schools for donations?

    Anyone in AZ know of any Phoenix area art/photo schools (or other venues) that would take donations of 35mm film cameras? I know there have been previous threads but I'm lazy today :) I was going to Craiglist them, but I don't think I'd get much for them. I'd rather get them in some needy...

    Jackson Hole, Wyoming

    We desert rats left the pre-summer heat to enjoy a week in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. The summer solstice and our second anniversary to boot. It was our first time there and we loved it. Not too much wild adventuring with a bun in Lois' oven, but hanging out and taking in the scenery sure hit...

    Jerome 08-22-09

    Not exactly an overland adventure, but still one of the funnest little towns in Arizona: Went up to see Tramps and Thieves play the 'Bloody Mary set' Saturday afternoon at the Spirit Room. Stayed that night in the Connor Hotel in room #1 at the corner. Day drank while the rains (yea!) came...
