Got this from a chef a long time ago – I drag it out and do it every once in awhile . . .
Magic in a Crock pot!!
Soak a pound of pinto beans over night ( or longer – up to 24 hrs won’t hurt a thing!! )
Ready?? Here we go . . .
Dice 1/2 pound of bacon – either pepper bacon or throw 2 teaspoons of coarse ground black pepper in when you brown it
Slice a serrano pepper ( or two ! ) lengthwise and scoop out the seeds
dice a medium onion and the pepper(s)
When the bacon is close to brown – add onion and pepper to skillet
Meanwhile chop up about 1/2 bunch of cilantro – and chop it up real fine – after you are done chopping it – run the knife through it two more times – it needs to be chopped fine – you want to end up somewhere between 1/4 and 1/2 cup chopped
put the cilantro and a short 1/4 cup of garlic in the skillet . . .
Keep everything moving in the skillet – do not let the either the garlic or the cilantro brown – both will turn bitter if browned – you only want 30 seconds to 1 minute in the skillet – you are just releasing the flavor (oils) – dump it all in the crock pot.
Drain the beans and put them in the crock pot . . .
De glaze the skillet with 2 1/2 cups of chicken broth and pour into the crock pot
pour a bottle of Mexican beer ( 12 oz ) – Corona – XX – the different ones will add different flavors – experiment!! – I like XX myself
add 1/2 teaspoon or so of black pepper and 1 1/2 or so teaspoons of salt
set on low – lid on – and check at about 5 hrs or so . . . total cook time in the crock pot about 8 hrs or so
Hey! Quit looking at it and put the lid on!!
You may need to add a little chicken broth at the 5 hr mark – you don’t want the beans to dry out – you want them doing the floaty thing start to finish !! This particular batch I added just over 1/2 cup of broth at 5 hrs . . . and speaking of finish . . .
Over rice or cornbread or use them to make re-fried beans or just put them in a bowl as a side – really good stuff – and the crock pot chugs along for 8 hrs or so and does all the magic!!
Have Fun! – Run the Gun! – and remember – Fish Heads are not the only thing I can cook!!
We got a look at a pair of JC Higgins .22 rifles awhile back — HERE — the extractors on both are wore out – got with the owner and he wants to fix it up – it will go on to teach a fourth generation to shoot!! – with minimal care – guns are forever – only two enemies – politicians and rust!!
Stripped the bolt down – the pin holding the extractor just would not move – however – just a few tiny drops of this . . .
And 45 minutes or so later the pin came out nice and easy – Kano Kroil is the bestest stuff out there . . .
Here is a close up of the extractor – note the “nubs” that engage the rim of the case are wore completely away . . .
Here is the replacement part . . .
Wee bit of difference – the replacement part is a little easier to fabricate thus the difference in appearance/profile – and it has nubs!! Will get the part ordered this weekend and then get the rifle stuck back together . . .

It has been just over 30 years since I stopped watching the big 3 networks – Sweet Jesus people – Why in the fuck do you think it is called television programming?? – the Americans Broadcasting Communism network is probably the most refined of the three in their broadcasting of soviet agitprop – actually more refined than TASS – Here’s a hand gesture for you George . . .
Fuck you George!! – I know you won’t read this because your owners would not allow it but I put it here for the humans that read this blog . . .
Damn Bruce !! Yeah I Know – How about a couple of titty pics to lighten this up?? Okay – you talked me into it!!
I feel better already!!
This next one – I don’t make this shit up – I just find it and put it out here for YOU!!
Reminds me of a story related to me from decades ago involving site security ( Wackenhut ) and the search for the “Phantom Shitter” – it was all pretty much fun and games – even the full Colonel who had a note and calling card left on his desk saw the humor in it – wasn’t thrilled but saw the humor. When everyone came back to work on a Monday morning and a note and “calling card” was found on the cab seat of the little electric train at the hole ( used to move people and equipment laterally in the tunnel in and around the shot chamber ) – The. Shit. Hit. The. Fan. – Literally every alphabet soup agency became involved – NSA on down – as far as I know “the Phantom Shitter” at The Nevada Test Site was never found – LMAO !!
With that let’s bring this to an end . . .

When he talked about MITO – this is what he was talking about – seen one involving the ready alert aircraft from Barksdale AFB years ago – OMFG!!
