Davey’s Homemade Soft Pretzels It’s time to take your next Oktoberfest party to the next level with my Delicious Homemade Soft Pretzel recipe. Heck, these soft pretzels are so good, you can make and eat them any time of the year. My quest for the best soft pretzel began in Germany a couple of years back. Karie and I were traveling through Bavaria and had many, many a pretzel. They all seemed to be a little bit different though and it was very difficult to narrow down the best.

We all have them. They can be something like a traumatic experience that maybe brought you closer to someone, or the smell of saltwater that brings you back to childhood memories of playing on the beach with family and friends. One of these for me is driving up the 15 freeway just past the city of Barstow and coming up on the exit sign to the city of Zzyzx. Zzyzx? What in the world is a Zzyzx? …

I have always felt that if you want to be a gun owner, you need to be a responsible gun…

Prado Running Gun
As the holidays pass, and the thermometer has finally dropped back into the normal range, a lot of people feel that their outdoor activity options are limited. For fisherman, you might be out throwing big baits at big fish. If you are a gun guy like myself, you might be getting a little tired of heading to the range to shoot at static paper targets week after week. If so, this is a great time to get involved with some fun match shooting with a club at a local range like Prado Olympic Shooting Park. I’ve been shooting for what seems my entire life. Over the past couple of years, I…
