Well, I had aspirations of trimming my hedges today, but as I approached the first of four in my front yard that needed maintenance, I encountered a swarm of hornets. I'm not sure exactly which types, but some were red, some were black, and some looked like yellow jackets. One was white and black and looked a bit like a bald-faced hornet. At that point I called it a day and thought dinner sounded like a good idea.
I whipped this together with the quickness and realized when I was finished that I forgot the reloads, such is life. I may not survive the zombie hordes but at least I'm fat, happy, and a little buzzed. Lemon-dill grilled salmon, smashed potato with thyme and garlic, grilled vegetables, and a chedder roll. The beer is The Beer, none other than the venerable Three Floyd's Zombie Dust. Defensive measures include a Daniel Defense rifle, Sig Mk25, and a Winkler Belt Knife in 3V steel.

You get a 10 for the zombie dust alone. Buncha hillbillies in this thread. Out fucking standing. My last score a few weeks back. <a href="http://s991.photobucket.com/user/nickman54/media/7E834E85-7D69-4F58-96C9-8CBA05B6680F_zpsixdsduw7.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af36/nickman54/7E834E85-7D69-4F58-96C9-8CBA05B6680F_zpsixdsduw7.jpg</a> That was my last of a 6-pack, a friend of mine made a run up to Munster and brought it back for me. As good as it is, there are a few I like a bit more from 3F's, Arctic Panzer Wolf and Cimerrean Sabertooth Berserker off the top of my head. |

Both of those are in stock at my local store in the big bottles. I really like permanent funeral as well. |

5/10. No meat. Guns set down backwards. 
Time to branch out from microwaved hotdogs, dude. I like salmon. But it's not meat.. dude. I googled it - and by Jeebus, you're right. I've always seen it as meat... I learn something new everyday. |

Tbh my absolute favorite drinking beer from them is gumballhead. I could drink it all day. Either way your meal is gtg. |

Quoted:
You need to learn how to manage depth of field. DoF was as it should be. My B+W 77mm circular polarizer cuts down on my available light a little but I intended for f/5.6 for the spread and f/2.8 for the close ups. I pull it out to f/14 when I use my light box and tripod but this was not one of those occasions. |
5/10 Although the meal looks well prepared and has a great presentation, you did not follow etiquette rules on place setting or proper weapon placement.
-1 Improper Fork and Knife placement -1 Improper placement of handgun - Right position, need to have slide towards the plate so hand can naturally grab weapon. -1 Improper placement of rifle - Right position, need to have sights towards plate so hand can naturally grab weapon. -2 No spare magazines for either weapon |

Any beer that relies on comic book labels, for marketing, can't be great. That said, I love grilled Salmon. Three Floyd's distributes to Ohio, you need to put some effort into acquiring good beer. ZD currently sits at #18 on beer advocates top beers of all time, it used to be a bit higher. |

By placing items in the same location every time will help you develop muscle memory. When the SHTF, you will react instinctively and not fumble trying to engage the bands of marauding savages that want your cheddar roll.
ETA: The dinner looks great. |

- 1 Point No reloads. - 1 Point No wife / significant other / just a photo of a hot chick. - 1 Point No Folding Tactical knife 7/10 Folding knife is a bit overkill when a Winkler is thrown down, but FWIW today it was a Brad Southard Avo riding in my pocket...
