Still snowing and will till morning. None to sure what it will look like when we get up in the morning. Aeronut I truly admire your c...

Still checking in......Happy, Merry, Whatever! Glad to see there are still a few stalwart members!

Looks like it's been very quiet in here for quite some time! Summers gone and autumn is ending soon.... The Elk hunt wasn't a success this time though I stalked several bulls. Just couldn't get in close enough to get an arrow in range. The fall has another hunt scheduled for deer but I'm going to pa...

Rains are finally here..... Monsoons every afternoon but still not enough to break the drought.

The muelys have been mowing my lawn and trimming everything else!

WH - I know you've got a couple years on me but, I'm still getting bounced off the dirt every now and then after the big-60. I still like the wind in my hair and my eyes watering cause we are runnin full out across the mesa, or down a sandbar! There's nothin that makes ya feel as alive and connected...

Go Ralph!!! you can do it!

Thanks for the updates Aeronut - We're all thinking of you Ralph and rooting for you to have a full recovery!!

Boy, your wife puts up with a lot if you're pulling out her hair to make those! :eek: Before you get too far into this, you might want to hang some on the bag and use it to see if they tangle up on you; otherwise you may be combing them out every time you go out shooting. It does look like a nice d...

Still working on Ham license didn't take the class A test 40 years ago when Morse code was something that was required because I couldn't translate it fast enough - got 100% on the practice tests for technician and extra - passed the digital practice stuff too... Now just need to go sit the exam! If...

Might be time for a goat roast - AKA fire, spit, and slow turn of an animal until "done" properly! Ive been to several "cook outs" where the beast of the day was the days hunt! The roasting and the feasting were appropriate to the success of the hunt and the festivity after was a local kaleidoscope ...

Thank you very much Mark! I have been working on many things all at the same time so my completion of projects is a bit more haphazard then perhaps some folks may expect - but hey! what ever works eh? Still need to finish the beaded edge, also the strap tooling, and dye and seal of the edges of all ...

Thanks! I would really like to have the pistol bore match the rifle - just don't really know if the cost justifies the desire.... I need to take the pistol out for a few sessions and see how it handles after a few dozen rounds to see if I have an affinity for the feel enough to send the barrel off t...

Before and after - spring cabin fever project. CVA Hawken pistol 1" barrel, "Newer" style lock it matches my Hawken rifle, all except the bore! it's a 50 not a 54....

Lottery done! one choice Bowhunt Elk tag, AND one choice Muzzleloader Deer tag!!!! 20 days of hunting depending on the weather! planning, practice and rcon here we go!

Good vibes headed that direction from us-

Eouch WH - that conversation sounds like it was almost painful! Glad to hear the house is coming together! I've got to get the flooring for the last upstairs bedroom perhaps this summer..... We've been busy with work and school. I am teaching and have to take a class this summer, so now the wife and...

Slow but continued progress -

Looks like it worked! Nice!

What he said! Photos pleeze

Yup I know I've seen the aftermath myself several times as a kid. We had tornadoes rip up the country side and tear through parts of town.. I remember spending afternoons and summer nights tucked in the basement shelter waiting for the storms to pass.Hearing the roar and feeling the odd pressure cha...

WH that looks to be quite a mess! Hope they get it dry and fixed back up better than new soon! Aeronut that sounds like a very interesting class! Though I don't think living in tornado alley is any too much fun...... Oh! That second photo is of Spieden Island (AKA Safari Island) the "Hunting Reserve...

Spent the day cruising through the San Juan Islands - no kayaking this time of year, too cold, but the day on the water was still fantastic......

Two new front tires on the way - tractor is down waiting till they arrive........Guess I get to wait till we get back from our adventure...... can't wait to get there and start to explore....... :applaud: Weirdest weather ever yesterday! Got up about 5:30 and the temp was 15 and the wind was bluster...
