Observant visitors to these Musings may have noticed a change in the past couple of weeks to the title bar above. The earliest writings on the blog dealt mostly with craft beer, especially the burgeoning craft beer scene in Virginia in general and the …



Stupid Mice

Dear Garage Mouse,If you are intent on eating my bird seed or grass seed, we’ll certainly do battle. But if you start chewing up my target supplies, you will be met with extreme prejudice.And so it begins.

A Wet IDPA Match

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 29th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I awoke on Sunday morning to the sound of rain, and it wasn’t light rain. Grabbing my phone I quickly checked for any word of the scheduled IDPA match at Cavalier. I saw a post on the club’s Facebook page that simply, “Make sure you are ready for some …

No Brewery Visit on Monday

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 23rd, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Returning from a fun four-day “escape,” Colleen and I were passing through Harrisonburg, VA on Monday around lunch time. Remembering there are a number of breweries in town, none of which we’ve ever visited, I did a quick internet search.

Well, that’s disappointing.

We did have a tasty lunch at Union Station Restaurant where I enjoyed a Deadly Rhythm Pale Ale from Pale Fire Brewing. Coincidently, I began the weekend with a Red Molly Irish Red, also from Pale Fire. Both beers were quite tasty. We will need to plan a return to Harrisonburg to check out more Pale Fire beers — when the brewery is open!

Remember when the leftist media warned us about the dangers of the chainsaw bayonet AR-15 accessory?  In another riveting piece on evil “assault rifles” we are shown the dangers to innocent fruit from the 12 gauge loaded rifle.

I can just imagine to smug satisfaction in the newsroom over that exposé.

Shooting Stock Guns

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Jan 16th, 2018 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

In the nine or so years I’ve been attending pistol matches, be it USPSA or IDPA, I’ve always shot in the “stock gun” divisions. Other than some experiments with sights and adding grip tape, I prefer the guns as they come from the factory. Some of that …
