    Jeep Wrangler 392 allocations were released today for 21MY. If you want one, better call your dealer!  No word on price, market adjustments, etc.  Only thing is no special pricing plans like Friends&Family allowed.

    If you’re not used to a shotgun, you’ll need to practice.  Pumping a pump shotgun has to become automatic when you pull the trigger, you don’t want to have to think about it.  Otherwise it’s effectively a single shot.

    Shorter barrel is better for home environment, but the pistol grip ones are probably a much bigger challenge if you’re not used to shotguns.

    I would actually suggest a youth, pump 20ga as a good first choice.  Forgiving if you don’t have it shouldered well, easy to move around with in a house as they’re not too long, etc.

    That's what I have for the wife to use. Told her to point, pull and pump...That sounds kind of dirty. I make her practice often

    Perhaps my logic is wrong; but if I felt I needed a shotgun to ensure home protection, I think I’d be shopping real estate before shopping munitions.

    Lower crime areas need not be equated with higher price point properties. My last home was in an extremely safe area, but was much less expensive than some geographically-choice but crime-ridden areas downtown.

    Buying a new roof. Finally got the insurance company to agree to replacing the roof after going in circles for the past month & a half over the past 2-3 hurricanes. Zeta finally put it over the top. Our wind deductible sucks though. I'm just thankful I don't have to deal with roof leaks much longer.

    I don't know how true this is, but I heard someone in the Agr business talking on a podcast the other day say that a lot of the "premium" flour imported from Italy is actually grown in Arizona, shipped to Italy, packaged and exported back to the US.

    It says online that the base for Caputo the wheat comes from Umbria, Marche, and other italian regions and then they add wheat from France, Germany, and Finland. Caputo flour is worth the price IMO. We buy the chefs for bread, blue bag for pizza, and gold bag for pasta. Its the only flour we have used for years. That pizza oven is bad ass I was checking some big ones like that out at Atlanta Grill Company the other day. Congrats

    I've got 6 bags of the Caputo Red for pizza but haven't used it yet, because  after I purchased it I heard that it wasn't made for home ovens, but needed wood fired oven heat.  So I've been using standard King Arthur bread flour. Can't wait to start using the Caputo...

    Surely that "free" cover took away some of the sting. :)

    Nice oven. Hope you get many years of enjoyment from that.

    They sell much cheaper covers, so getting the nicer "premium" one for free was an added bonus. This is going to sound like a shill, but I've never been more impressed dealing with a company. When you call you talk to the owner, or one of his sons. Just super informative and friendly all around. I know I wore their asses out with the constant barrage of questions over the last few months.

    You are correct. I have done pizzas with it at 500 and no good its chewy. You should grab some bags of the blue pizza flour. It used to be only 55lb bags but there are 2.2 and 11lb bags on amazon now.

    I've never seen a wheat field in Aridzona, but I could be wrong.

    There is irrigated wheat at least.  I visited a test site south of Casa Grande and harvested a week in late May few years ago. Usually the first wheat in the USA to get harvested.  A lot of high quality alfalfa hay grown down there as well.

    edit: durum wheat is what they grow in Arizona

    Wheat, cotton, corn, citrus, pecan, lettuce, dates, leafy greens, avacadoe, tomotoes, pumpkins, etc.  If you can water it enough, you can grow pretty much anything here, and they do.  Amazing to drive around Yuma, Casa Grande, Marana, etc.
