    4 days in New Orleans

    Is what it is. That environment appeals to some folks. NO is known as the San Francisco of the East. Or that's what they called it back when I worked there. Didn't bother me.

    4 days in New Orleans

    Yeah. The French Quarter didn't do a lot for me when I worked in New Orleans back in 1987. Check out the Park Service visitors center. Find something to visit away from the core.

    4 days in New Orleans

    The French Quarter is not really kids entertainment. A lot of gay hookers there and gays looking to hook up so be aware of that. Doesn't bother me but not something I would want to be explaining to my kids. Check out the National Park Service visitors center on the end of Canal Street. There...

    Offseason Tinkering

    I switched the stock on my 404 Jeffery to something used I picked up online. Went from this one that I did up last year when I built the rifle: To this. The new used stock didn't have any reinforcement and very little bedding. An internal crack had already started between the trigger box...

    Tips for Adding New (second) Pup to Home?

    We are talking Labs. You will have no problems. My older Labs always took to the new puppy in the house like it was the child they never had. My French Brittany pretended to ignore Lab puppy Ellie for first six weeks. Unknown to us, she was playing with the puppy in the back yard when no one...

    Help. Need a turkey tail asap.

    My Fr Britt attacked a client's turkey tail that was spread and drying. We've managed to save most of the big feathers but several of the secondaries are beyond repair. Anyone have a turkey tail you can spare? I have a US address you can ship it to where I can pick it up. Help my daughter...

    Arbitrary Hunting Goals

    No, not really. Back in 1971 I set a goal to shoot an elk before the Army got me after Christmas. I did kill a dandy but that goal nearly cost me my life. When I go to Africa there's sometimes critters on "the list" but I will shoot whatever turns up and I can afford. Last trip was a...

    Ebonizing Walnut

    Well ... that is different. Looks like it's ready to jump out of a Hudson coupe and rob a bank someplace in rural Iowa. 🙂

    Gettysburg

    As I recall Antietum had the highest casualty/acre/hour. The boys must have been standing knee deep in bodies. I recently finished reading "24 Hours at Waterloo." An incredible book. That battle lasted only about eight hours. The devastation and brutality is really unbelievable. Almost...

    custom rifle suggestions

    I did follow the instructions that came with the scope. That was the problem. Bushnell acknowledged the mistake in their illustration. But of course you knew that.

    custom rifle suggestions

    My dad, my brother, and I "built" our family home back in 1965. No, we didn't mill the lumber or make our own plumbing pipes or glass for the windows. We put the parts together into a domicile. Concrete to framing to finish carpentry to wiring to plumbing to roofing. Some stuff was necessary...

    Can you put fish in a pie?

    Tuna casserole with a crust. Doesn't sound half bad.

    custom rifle suggestions

    I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. However, I'm fairly certain you don't either. My personal opinion: I would never pay someone to put a rifle action on a synthetic stock. About the same skill level as changing the brake pads on a truck. The point is, doing the work yourself is not...

    custom rifle suggestions

    I have lived through a few generations so I feel somewhat qualified to make some generalizations. And you are free to disagree. I'm sure you've got seventy years of observation to support your generalizations.

    custom rifle suggestions

    Yo You assume jewelers are born not made. I built this stock truck literally from the ground up and it served me well through fifteen years of hard service until I moved to Canada and got rid of my livestock. Building a rifle may be a bit challenging but it's not watchmaking. You don't...
