We met a couple of friends for dinner Friday evening at J. Brian’s Tap Room in downtown Fredericksburg. J. Brian’s is one of the older, if not the oldest, good beer pubs in town. They served good craft beers before other local establishments did, and w…

I’m not one to jump into the hype of a “perfect” beer, or go on a quest to find that “holy grail” of beer. But when a friend dropped off a bottle of Pliny the Elder he brought back from a trip, I admit to letting out a squeal of delight. I’ve had thi…



August “Guns Welcome” Sign Giveaway

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Aug 8th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I commented on this sign last December, and came across it again recently during my random internet travels. Given so many recent events in our country pointing out the absurdity of “gun free” zones, I realized I’d like to see the sign posted in more p…



Hold My Beer

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Aug 7th, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

There’s an old adage that the scariest phrase you can hear a drunk say is “Hold my beer.” It’s usually followed by “Watch this.” But a Serbian tourist in Egypt has taken the phrase, or warning, to a whole new level.

This month’s USPSA match at Fredericksburg Practical Shooters was a “Classifier” match, with 4 classifier stages and two field courses. Many of the USPSA classifier stages are “stand and shoot” stages but this event the match directors picked ones that…

Earlier this month the folks at Lucky Gunner sent me a couple of boxes of PMC Starfire .380 Auto ammo for review. I finally got around to hitting the range with it this week.

Two other members of the Gabriel Possenti Shooters helped out with the …



Today’s Lesson

By From http://www.musingsoverapint.com/ • Aug 2nd, 2012 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I always usually carry a folding knife with me. I use it for everything from opening packages to cutting up a lunchtime apple. Today I received the package shown below. The envelope was wrapped in multiple layers of reinforced strapping tape.&nbsp…
