We were at -16 F yesterday morning, it’s 30F this morning. Most years it’s mid to late April before I can get the hot rods out. Why do I live here?

I had a bit of a meltdown this morning, but called my sister Beth in Green Bay to wish her a happy birthday. (Imagine losing your dad on your birthday) She is a woman of faith and after talking with her I feel much better. Thanks guys for the words of encouragement…

I lost my dad on January 26, 2021 It’s been a roller coaster year for sure. Mom passed in 2019 so taking care of dad fell on my shoulders. He had dementia, but I didn’t really know how bad it was because mom did a good job covering for him . It was rough at times, but I’d gladly do it all over again. I sure miss him…

Wishing winter would end...

I think I can make it...

It was a really nice beach but developers are destroying the rustic vibe. My favorite bar is down a few blocks from the Giggling Marlin, it's called the "Happy Ending"... There's good food in Cabo too...

Comin' in hot...

IIRC the hunter in the video I posted had applied “buck scent” to his clothing… 🤪

You don’t want to be that guy…

Last build for 2021. I haven't shot it yet because it's been hectic around here lately...

Glad to hear you got it sorted out

There's a municipal airport in South St Paul, Minnesota that bears his name... Thanks for posting

Swampfox Optics has a Black Friday bundle with a Tomahawk 1x8 LPVO and mount for $339, I couldn't pass it up...

Yum!

Last summer we began handling Milwaukee brand tools and I came across these interlocking Packout boxes in the catalog. I asked purchasing to add a couple to the next stock order and they showed up this week. Now I have a decent way to store spare gun parts and reloading accessories…

I think the shed and barn trim needs to be black to get the full effect...

I need this in my life...

I assume you are referring to the pin that retains the buffer. The buffer tube does not have to be up against the pin, as long as the tube is far enough over the step in the pin to prevent launching it into orbit you are good to go…

She’s a shooter, my best group of 10 rounds off a sandbag @ 50 yards with 55gr hand loads. I ran out of daylight so I have to wait ‘til next Thursday to move out to 100 yards…

My buddy JR built the bench out of 1/8" steel about 20 years ago. I've used it to build trannys, cylinder heads, carbs, and damn near anything else you can imagine. It also serves as my reloading bench and as a bar when we have kick ass garage parties. I just cleaned it up for the pic. Here it is in it's normal state...
