Still Has the Muscle: When Boldness Finds Balance

by David in Musings Over a Barrel on 2026-08-05T12:57:31Z

There are evenings when only a full-bodied cigar will do. With plenty of time to relax on the porch, I reached for the lone CAO Flathead V660 remaining in my humidor. After two years of rest, I was curious whether the big Broadleaf-wrapped cigar had mellowed or if it still possessed the muscle that made it memorable.

With its Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Ecuadorian Connecticut binder, and Nicaraguan fillers, the cigar delivers rich notes of semi-sweet chocolate and espresso. Sweet molasses and vanilla undertones balance out the dense, darker flavors, and a bit of pepper adds further interest.



The box-pressed 6 x 60 stick is heavy in the hand, and the red and silver American muscle car-themed banding over the dark chocolate-hued wrapper adds to the imposing presence. Although 60-ring-gauge cigars look impressive, they are not comfortable to hold and smoke in my opinion. However, the box-pressed shape narrows one dimension enough to make it feel noticeably less cumbersome in the hand and between the teeth.

Knowing the Flathead’s reputation for bold flavors, I wanted a bourbon with enough proof and richness to avoid being overshadowed. Elijah Craig Barrel Proof seemed the obvious choice.

This bottle is Batch A124, the first of the three releases for 2024. Bottled at 119 proof and aged 10 years, 9 months, it is one of the lower-proof and younger releases in the series, making it especially approachable. The proof is high enough to add interest but never becomes overwhelming. I’ve greatly enjoyed this bottle and will surely miss it once it’s empty.



This bourbon treats the palate with a robust profile of brown sugar, dark caramel, vanilla, and charred oak, along with a moderate cinnamon-laced finish. Vanilla and a hint of tobacco linger in the finish, which is sweet without becoming syrupy, and there’s just enough rye spice to provide a lively finish.

The Flathead’s black pepper and espresso notes dominated the pairing initially. As I slowly sipped the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, its caramel and brown sugar notes began to balance and soften the cigar’s pepper. Soon, I found myself thinking of richly caramelized crème brûlée.



As the smoke moved into its second half, the cigar's darker espresso and cocoa notes came into the forefront. The crème brûlée impression gave way to chocolate-covered espresso beans as the culinary imagery continued to fill my thoughts.

The CAO Flathead V660 and Elijah Craig Barrel Proof proved to be a balanced and thoroughly satisfying pairing. Even after two years in the humidor, the Flathead had lost none of the muscle that first made it memorable, standing up easily to the bourbon’s richness and proof. In turn, the bourbon’s sweetness tempered the cigar’s pepper, allowing notes of dark chocolate, espresso, cinnamon, and crème brûlée to shine.

Cheers!

Are You Staying Up To Watch For The Collision...

by Glenn B in BALLSEYE'S BOOMERS on 2026-08-05T05:58:23Z

 ...of the spacecraft into the moon? I saw an Instagram post saying a spacecraft or a big part of one is going to collide with the surface of the moon t 0244 hours on August 5 (which is now today). Since one often cannot depend upon any claims made on Instagram, I did some checking to confirm that.
 
I just checked online and found an article from Forbes saying this is supposed to happen at 06:35 UTC, which here in Arkansas translates to 0135 hours. Quite the difference from 0244, that even if 0244 was supposed to be EDT, which would have made it 0144 in CDT. A few minutes could mean maybe missing it as it happens; although, given what may be seen from earth, that result may be visible for hours if not days or longer.
 
If you are looking up to see it, the actual crash, of the SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage rocket (as per Forbes), will not be visible even with powerful telescopes. What it is guessed may be seen is the resultant dust cloud that collision may kick up; I suspect that with the much lower pull of gravity on our moon than on earth, the dust cloud may remain over the impact area for quite some extended time. Right now, as I type, it is 1247 hours; so, there are only 48 minutes for me to wait, give or take whatever their estimate may be off by. I plan to be looking up at the moon (which is a half moon tonight) at least 10 minutes early and will look for some time afterward if I do not see it by 0135 CDT.
 
As for what I plan to use to see it; well, I do not have a telescope but I do have a 16X50 pair of binoculars. I also have a 10x50 pair but have not found where the monster in my closet, or maybe the goblins, gnomes, dust bunnies or elves hid those. (Of course, it could be that I simply forgot where I put them.) Anyway, the 16 power pair is ready and waiting. The only bad thing about them is the slightest movement makes the view go sort of helter-skelter all over the place. While they are stronger than the 10 power pair, the weaker ones allow a much steadier view.
 
If you are watching, enjoy the show if there is indeed one to enjoy. The rocket is supposed to hit the sunny side of the moon but since it is only a half moon tonight I guess it has to hit the lit up part to be able to see the result. 
 
Addendum: I just checked another site, Earth Sky, and they had a very informative photo for where it is believed the rocket will smash into the moon. It reportedly will be on the lit up side of the half moon (good news) and will be on the outer edge of the viewable moon at somewhere (about halfway) between the numbers 10 and 11 on an analog clock (we old timers understand that, you youngsters need to figure it out if you do not know). Good luck if you are watching the skies/moon tonight.
 
All the best,
Glenn B 

Trigger Warnings Gone Wild!

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2026-08-05T01:22:59Z

 I hope you remember College Girls Gone Wild! From The College Fix:

TRENDING: Libraries attach trigger warnings to historical resource catalogs 

This may hurt to know but people in the past had no idea that some day, people who imagine themselves to be intellectuals would be so injured by language that today we consider hateful and offensive that even reading a description would be problematic.

A couple years ago, I used a small news clipping in an American History class that referred to a "Negro banker." I had at least one student who apparently thought the N-word was "Negro." I shudder to think what their reaction would be to the United Negro College Fund or the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum 

If you cannot read a catalog entry with some offensive antique words without blowing a gasket, maybe history or even academic study is not for you. Find a field more appropriate to you: unicorn breeding.

Cast Iron

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2026-08-05T00:14:23Z

 I love cast iron, cook on it every day. We have probably eight or nine skillets.

Several years ago I was at an auction and bought three cast iron skillets, simply because no one was bidding on them. One was a BSR one was a Lodge,  and the one on the bottom was unmarked.  I gave $20 for the stack. Got them home and understood why.  That bottom skillet was a disaster. Rusty, warped and pitted.  It looked like it was used as a dog bowl in someone's back yard.

I cleaned it up and seasoned it.  Began using it on those occasions where I would not normally use good cast iron. Highly acidic food with lots of seasoning, stiff like that.  And, like all my good cast iron, I treat it right. Clean it after every use, dry it over moderate heat, then re-season with good oil.  It still has its pits, it is still warped, but I noticed a week or so ago that Belle made corn bread in it. Today I used it to sauté highly seasoned shrimp in butter.

Then I realized that old pitted, warped dog skillet gets more use than my highly seasoned "good" skillets. When I'm doing something sketchy, it's the skillet I grab, because I can't hurt it.  And Belle's apt to grab it to make cornbread.

There is a metaphor for life in that skillet, if I can just figure it out.

Street Sweeping With the Armsel Striker

by Luke C. in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-05T00:00:00Z

Every gun writer keeps a mental list of firearms they'd shoot exactly once and never need to shoot again, mostly out of morbid curiosity rather than any real desire to own one. One such gun I recently crossed off my bucket list is the   Armsel Striker , which has sat near the top of mine for years. So when a friend showed up with another friend to a recent range day with an actual Street Sweeper, I dropped what I was doing and immediately sauntered on over to take a look. This is one of a small handful of guns most shooters recognize only from movies, video games, or federal court filings, but one that few people get to shoot. So while my time with the gun was short, I felt like it was an experience worth writing up, even though this is less a full review than a field report on whether the legend I built up in my head about the Street Sweeper matched reality.

New PC and KVM for the Home Office

by Dave Markowitz in Blog O'Stuff on 2026-08-04T18:11:03Z

Recently I made a major change to my home computing platforms with the addition of a PC running Windows 11.

My primary computer was and will remain a 2025 MacBook Air, which works splendidly, and it runs the OS with which I'm most productive. However, as I near retirement and may be taking on some consulting, I wanted access to a powerful PC that could run Windows 11 and an as-yet TBD Linux distribution for running local LLMs.

So, a few weeks ago I bought at MicroCenter a PowerSpec G732 gaming PC. It's a beefy rig that IMO gives you a lot for the money:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 7700X (4.5GHz) Processor
  • MSI PRO B850M-VC WiFi Motherboard
  • 32GB DDR5-6000 RAM
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Graphics Card
  • 1TB NVMe SSD
  • 5GbE LAN, WiFi 6E (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.3
  • Windows 11 Home

My old monitor was a 27" LG from 2019 which was built to work with the then-new MacBooks that had only Thunderbolt ports. It acted as my docking station proving power, audio and video, Gig-E and a decent built-in webcam. Unfortunately, it only works with Macs, not PCs, so I needed to replace it.

Microcenter had an LG UltraGear 27G640A-B.AUSQ 27" 2K QHD (2560 x 1440) 300Hz Gaming Monitor with built-in speakers but no webcam on sale for $300. While the old unit was 4K-capable I ran it at only 2K because at 4K everything was too small for me to see.

The new monitor lacks a webcam so I added a Logitech Brio 100 1080p Webcam which include a microphone.

I'm using my old Dell keyboard and Logitech mouse, both connected via USB.

My impressions so far:

The PC's build quality is excellent with nice interior cable management. Performance seems very good although the closest thing I've done to taxing it is to run Skyrim at the highest resolution. If I run it faster than 60FPS, though, the video spins which is apparently a known Skyrim bug. Obviously, I need something more modern to really stretch out the graphics, and after I get it setup for local LLMs I expect to put the NVidea card to real work.

The Logitech webcam was only $40 but apparently the video quality is nicer than the one built into my old monitor. I didn't get any complaints about audio from its mic on a Google Meetings call or a Zoom call.

The new monitor is sharp, displaying either text or graphics well. The built-in speakers are inferior to those on my old monitor. I may replace them with USB speakers connected to the KVM.

Windows 11 is DOGSHIT. I had to do a lot of tweaking to disable unwanted features (e.g. Copilot) but it seems to be running OK for now. I did make a USB recovery stick in case a Microsoft update breaks it. (As far as I'm concerned the best version of Windows for end user computing was Windows 7.)

The biggest problem I had with the PC was trying to get a PowerA brand USB XBox controller working with it. This should have been plug and play. Fat chance. I spent HOURS trying to get it to be seen by any applications or the Windows joystick control app, which included a ton of Googling and even troubleshooting with the aid of Google Gemini to no avail. Eventually, I returned the PowerA controller and replaced it with a Bluetooth Microsoft XBox controller that installed and worked with minimal effort.

The PC has two empty slots on its motherboard for NVME SSDs. I plan to populate one in the near future and dual-boot with Linux for running local LLMs. I haven't decided which version. I'm debating between Fedora, Alma, Debian, or Ubuntu. Stay tuned.

However, the new setup left me without the ability to connect the MacBook Air to the new monitor and my mouse and keyboard, so today I went back to Microcenter and got a UGreen HDMI KVM Switch (2 Computers, 1 Monitor, 4K@60Hz) model #15707.




Yes, I have too much crap on my desk. My Xfinity gateway (in bridge mode) is the white tower back left. In front of that is a Yaesu FT-2800R 2M/70cm transceiver. On the right you can see my MacBook Air in a cradle I bought around 10 years ago to use in my old home office, and finally the new PC. The WiFi adapter is connected to the PC but not in use since wired Ethernet > WiFi. Behind the monitor is a three-tier wire rack shelf holding my WiFi router on top, and below that my desktop switch and Intel Nuc, and on the bottom shelf my power strip.

The KVM is behind the Mac, with its remote control below the monitor.

Because the MacBook Air only has the Magsafe power connector, A/V, and two Thunderbolt ports, I have it connected with an older Anker USB-C hub/dock that has an HDMI port, three USB-A ports, and a Gig-E port, which is then connected to my desktop switch. Power to the Mac is provided by the OEM Magsafe charger.

I chose the UGreen KVM switch because of the mostly positive reviews at Microcenter and Amazon, and because it's noted as being compatible with Mac, Linux, and Windows. A couple reviews noted instability when it was run off bus power, so I added a USB-A to USB-C cable for power, which I have plugged into my power strip.

A nice feature of the KVM is that it has a remote button for switching inputs. I need to stick it to the base of the monitor with some double-sided Velcro.

The KVM seems to work with both the Mac and the PC. I tested the webcam and it works on both machines in MS Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet.

The main downside to the new setup is that due to limited desk space I had to give up the ability to use the laptop with the screen open, but I can live with that.

This new setup will allow me to retain the use of my Mac for most productivity and Internet activities while enabling me to run Windows 11 or desktop Linux when needed.

Shell Shock NAS³ Primed Cases: .308 and 5.56 Now Available

by Eric B in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-04T17:00:00Z

Shell Shock Technologies' product lineup just got a meaningful expansion with the introduction of factory-primed NAS³ cases in .308/7.62x51mm and 5.56 NATO/.223 Remington. For those already invested in the company's proprietary nickel-alloy platform, this is a straightforward value-add. For handloaders new to Shell Shock's ecosystem, it's worth understanding what separates these from brass in the first place.

Parasites

by Tam in View From The Porch on 2026-08-04T15:46:40Z


The Curtiss F9C-2 Sparrowhawk had an actual... if brief ...service history aboard the Navy's airships USS Akron and USS Macon.

The Sparrowhawks had multiple roles. The way they operated was thus: The airship would lift off for patrol and its complement of Curtiss fighters would then take off and rendezvous with it in the air, catching the “trapeze” and being winched in to their hangars. While it seems a daunting feat, pilots said it was actually easier than trying to land on a pitching, rolling aircraft carrier deck.

Once in the hangar on the ship, the landing gear on the fighter would be removed and replaced with a 30 gallon belly tank. During the patrol, the Sparrowhawks would be used as spotter aircraft, with their on-board wireless sets, as well as functioning as a defense against attackers.

At the end of the patrol, their landing gear would be replaced and they’d launch and land ahead of the airship.

While the F9C-2 actually had an operational history, not so the McDonnell XF-85 Goblin, which was developed because there was no fighter at the time with the legs to escort B-36 Peacekeepers in the event of nukyular combat toe-to-toe with the Rooskies.


The idea behind them was that every tenth B-36 would be a fighter carrier, with three or four little teeny Goblin point-defense fighters in its belly.

In any event, it turned out to be so difficult and dangerous to launch and recover that it never got beyond the brief prototype stage. The two Goblins built accumulated a total of less than two and a half hours of flying time in seven free flights, only three of which ended with a successful hookup on the mother ship, with the remaining ones resulting in landing on the belly skid.

TFB Review: Steiner MPS 2.0 Micro Pistol Sight - Is Newer Better?

by Adam Scepaniak in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-04T00:00:00Z

In the world of pistol dots, there are two distinct camps: open emitter and enclosed emitter red dots. For a long period of time, I was a straight hater on enclosed emitters. My first experiences were with lower quality ones (not a good start), they didn’t fasten securely to the handguns I tested, and it left a really bad taste in my mouth. Now, after several years, I have spoken with more shooters, law enforcement, and tested better quality enclosed emitters, which has me warming up to the idea of them. Steiner is a stalwart optics company known for their high quality, and they have announced their MPS (Micro Pistol Sight) 2.0  red dot today. Will newer equate to better in this enclosed emitter red dot? Let’s dive in and find out!

The Rimfire Report: Is CCI’s Uppercut A Knockout 22LR Cartridge?

by Luke C. in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-03T23:00:00Z

Defensive 22LR ammunition is something that I thought might die out, but it turns out I was woefully wrong. Instead, a lot of new cartridges have recently come out from common rimfire offenders like CCI, who are now producing the new jacketed  CCI Uppercut 32 gr HP  cartridge. After my recent trip to the CCI plant in Lewiston, Idaho, I was able to sneak away with a handful of boxes of the stuff for testing here on The Rimfire Report, so today we’re going to do exactly that. In addition to a test with the routine Angstdt RPR , we’ll also be putting the ammo through an old favorite, the Ruger Lite Rack 22LR pocket pistol.

FALCO Expands Multi-Fit Line With AM03, DM04 Holsters

by Luke C. in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-03T18:00:00Z

FALCO Holsters is further rounding out its Multi-Fit leather lineup this summer with two new entries: the AM03 Simple Leather IWB/OWB Holster and the DM04 Vertical Leather Shoulder Holster. Both work with the same idea that's made Multi-Fit a mainstay of FALCO's catalog: one holster pattern sized to fit a range of similarly dimensioned handguns. The new AM03 is a no-frills V-shaped IWB/OWB piece, while the DM04 fills the vertical-carry gap in FALCO's shoulder rig options.

A Porch Pairing for a Summer Afternoon

by David in Musings Over a Barrel on 2026-08-03T17:29:25Z

Here’s a summertime pairing that I tried on a whim, and it turned out even better than expected. Samuel Adams Summer Ale is a seasonal release from the Boston brewery that has been a staple of summer cookouts since 1995. The refreshing 5.3% ABV ale features Hallertau Mittelfrüh noble hops, lemon, lime, and orange peels, along with Grains of Paradise. The result is a crisp beer with a light herbal hop character, bright citrus notes, subtle wheat sweetness, and a gentle peppery spice in the finish.

Summer Ale seemed the perfect choice for a warm, rainy afternoon on the screened porch. Wanting a cigar that wouldn’t overpower the beer, yet still offered a satisfying depth of flavor, I reached for a Rocky Patel A.L.R. (Aged, Limited, and Rare) Second Edition in the Robusto vitola.



The A.L.R. Second Edition is a cigar I’ve enjoyed frequently over the years, resulting in numerous mentions here in these Musings. Wrapped in Mexican San Andrés leaf over a Honduran binder and fillers from Honduras and Nicaragua, the medium-bodied smoke delivers satisfying richness while remaining remarkably balanced. Rocky Patel ages the cigars for two years after rolling, and this particular example had spent an additional 22 months resting in my humidor.

The cigar kicks off with notes of espresso and cocoa. As expected from the San Andrés wrapper, a sweet earthiness balances those darker flavors. Rather than dominating the palate, the wrapper’s natural sweetness softens the bitterness of the espresso and cocoa, creating a rich yet approachable combination.

Medium-bodied rather than powerhouse in strength, the A.L.R. Second Edition emphasizes balance over intensity, making it an ideal companion for Samuel Adams Summer Ale. The beer’s bright citrus, wheat, and subtle spice refresh the palate between draws, lifting the cigar’s espresso, chocolate, and earthy sweetness while providing a crisp contrast to its darker flavors.

Pairing cigars and beer isn’t always about matching intensity. Sometimes the better approach is finding complementary flavors that allow each to shine. In this case, the citrus brightness of the Summer Ale and the earthy sweetness of the San Andrés-wrapped A.L.R. Second Edition came together in a way that was both balanced and thoroughly enjoyable.

Cheers!

The One Horse Adds Two Factory-Tuned FRS Pistols to Express Line

by Luke C. in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-03T17:00:00Z

“The One Horse,” or simply One Horse , who we had on the podcast earlier last month , is bringing its Express Series down to pistol length with two new 10.5-inch 5.56 models, the Express Pistol MLOK and Express Pistol Quad Rail. Both carry over the same factory-installed Atrius Forced Reset Selector  setup that defined the original 16-inch Express Rifle , which matters more than it sounds. An FRS is a drop-in part on paper, but if you’ve ever tinkered with one as I have in a number of different rifles, “timing” or tuning it correctly against the buffer weight, gas system, and shelf geometry is where a lot of DIY installs go sideways. One Horse is fitting, timing, and testing the whole system- selector, fire control group, gas system, BCG, and buffer- at the factory before it ships, rather than leaving that process to the end user, which can often be a frustrating lesson in tolerance stacking.

FAST Matches Debuts Auto-Rifle Division for FRT and NFA Full-Autos

by Luke C. in The Firearm Blog on 2026-08-03T15:00:00Z

If you’re lucky enough to own a belt-fed that’s a full-auto, or even an FRT, you can finally take it to a match. Firearms Action Shooting Trials (FAST) is adding an Auto-Rifle division to its match roster, opening a completely new division for guns that most 2-gun series won't touch. Entrants need either a registered NFA machine gun or an FRT-equipped rifle, paired with a heavy barrel or belt-fed upper capable of soaking up the round count, and a bipod has to stay mounted for the entire stage.

Quiet

by Pawpaw in PawPaw's House on 2026-08-03T12:48:32Z

 It's quiet in the tropics for the first week of August.  So far, we have had only two named storms in the Atlantic basin August is normally the month when the Atlantic storms crank up, notably in 2005.  That was a busy year.  A little research tells us that the least active hurricane season on record was 1914 when only one known tropical storm was recorded.

We had a little dry cold front move through over the weekend.  No rain and the temps are not notably lower, but the humidity is down, which is a good thing.

Belle mentioned that she would like a chimichanga for lunch, and I happen to have a recipe. I'll go to the grocers in a bit and see if I can find some tortillas.  

Bison Hunters

by Tam in View From The Porch on 2026-08-03T11:41:48Z

With Soviet jet bombers like the Myasishchev M-4 (NATO reporting name "Bison") able to undertake intercontinental nuclear attack missions, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the United States Air Force joined forces to form NORAD, the North American Air Defense Command.

In the mid-1950s, the backbone of the air defense system was the radar-equipped all-weather jet interceptor, most frequently armed with unguided air-to-air rockets.

The Canadians used the two-seat Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck...


Its wingtip pods each packed as many as twenty-nine 2.75" folding-fin Mighty Mouse rockets. The radar operator sat behind the pilot.

One of the more interesting USAF interceptors used by NORAD was the North American F-86D "Sabre Dog".


Interesting because single-seat all-weather fighters, with the pilot serving as his own radar operator, were something of a novelty at the time. The F-86D at the USAF Museum has its ventral tray extended, showing the twenty four launch tubes for the Mk 4 "Mighty Mouse" rockets. If you look at the stand next to the plane, you can see a rocket with its fins unfolded.

Another Attempted Mass Murder

by Clayton Cramer in Clayton Cramer. on 2026-08-03T00:40:57Z

Attempted but did not reach four dead because of a good guy with a gun. 8/2/26 Newsweek:


A man armed with a handgun exchanged gunfire with the suspect during Saturday's deadly shooting at an In-N-Out Burger in Twin Falls, Idaho, forcing the gunman to take cover, according to an eyewitness cited in multiple reports. 

Lane Koehn told The Associated Press he saw a man carrying an AR-style rifle emerge near the drive-thru on Saturday afternoon before another man pulled a pistol and fired at the gunman.

It is an article of faith that a good guy with a gun (at least a concealed one) will not stop someone with an "assault weapon." At first glance, this seems to make sense: they have a powerful weapon, dangerous to 100 yards plus.

But in this case, the murderer blew away any tactical advantage: he was shooting apparently randomly as he approached.  At 100 yards, yes, the rifleman has the clear advantage.  At 15 yards, not so much.

As with many of these tragedies, one shot, the murderer committed suicide.  I will be surprised if this does not turn out to be mental illness induced.
