Whoops!

In my previous post I commented on how much I like Trader Joe's dried baby bananas, and I do, thats not what this post is about.
At the end of that post I put an Amazon affiliate link for said bananas with the comment that it was cheaper to buy the 2 pack than the three pack. I should note here that I rarely go to Trader Joes since there isn't one handy (or anywhere near actually) where I live. The other day I happened by a Trader Joes and bought two more bags of baby dried bananas and realized that the cheapest place to get them is Trader Joe's.

I know, duh right? What I hadn't realized was the price difference, the link I gave you is nearly $12 for two bags, in the store they're $2 each!

So don't use my link, I get a small amount of money if you do but really just buy two bags for $4 and give me $8, heck get a third bag and give me $6 ;)

So good!

Did you know that dried baby bananas are a thing?

I found them by accident in Trader Joe's one time and they are so astonishingly good! Its hard to explain what they taste like, its condensed banana flavor and since they're dried they're a little bit oxidized so they're kind of a weird brownish color. The texture is a bit like stiff marshmallow which combined with the flavor is a new favorite of mine.

Its worth mentioning that I really like dried fruit and I really like bananas so this is a perfect combination. The link above is a 2 pack which is only $1 more expensive than a single pack...

New Rifle!

I was surprised to find that my last post (Time for a new rifle) was very controversial. Apparently lots of folks thought I just don't know how to load my gun or how to use it. It was interesting to note that none of the "experts" had any experience what so ever with a CVA Buckhorn but thats how it goes.

Anyway last week we attended The Ancient Ones of Maine show in Augusta, Maine, I went with the intention of bringing home a side lock gun, preferably in .54 with a preference for a Thompson Center model.

As you can see in the picture I ended up with a TC Renegade in .54. The bores perfect, the wood is good although if you look just behind the barrel wedge you can see where somebody must have clamped it in a vice and squeezed it. It doesn't detract from the functionality of the gun and theres lots of meat in the stock, I could potentially sand/file the mark out.

So just a quick update for now, I also scored several hundred conical bullets, a couple boxes of the excellent Hornady Great Plains bullets in .50 and a large box of .54 bullets of some unknown manufacture, probably home cast but they look good and the price was very good. I'll let you know more when I get a chance to shoot it.
