Excellent site. Thank you.

Thank you for that. I printed out a copy for my recipes.

the funny farm6, Try scrubbing your pickle buckets with a strong baking soda solution. It has worked for me.

I love the .30/30 too. Were it me I would look seriously at the Mossberg. Somethin like this. http://www.mossberg.com/images/Mossberg_Guns/930/New/41021.gif

I get my bags from Wally World. But be aware of 1 thing. They sell 2 brands of bags - the Food Saver & the Black & Deckers. Don't buy the B&D bags. They are cheaper but hard to get a good seal.

I use them for target frames. When it gets shot up burn it & get another one. They also can be used for fencing for smaller animals.
