A little humour for your day
As kids we rode ours bareback with a figure 8 of whatever rope we could find as a bridle. We'd chase deer on horseback with our little 30 pound stick bows, shooting light target arrows from 100 yards away. No deer were ever harmed. Our fat old bay mare loved to get up to a decent trot downhill... -
Private pilot's license
It's a great accomplishment. Whether you use it or not, you have it for life. You're in a good position to do it. Definitely go for it while you can. Got mine at 19. Flew till age 40 or so. May fly again someday (64 now). I never regretted it and was super proud of the accomplishment. Oshkosh...- Islander

Scope option for a truck gun
Truck gun? Cheap? SWFA 6X or 10X. $200 - $300 and the most bulletproof scopes you can buy under $1000. Bonus = some of the very finest hunting reticles of any available scopes. Mil quad of course! -

Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf
They aren't Dire wolves. They're genecic gray wolves with tiny bits of DNA edited so they look a bit like dire wolves. There is no resurrecting ancient species unless we drastically improve DNA resurrection first. And there is no path for that at the moment. It's pretend language for...- Islander

What's on the smoker today?
Our woods are absolutely filled with them, up to 12" diameter and 50 feet long or more, but this one came from my backyard.- Islander

What's on the smoker today?
Sorry, no photos. Couple racks of pork ribs in the Smokin-it electric. Huge ancient grape vine is the perfect wood for pork.- Islander

Pork tenderloin last night. Pull at 145F. Grape vine wood is the best I've tried for pork. Incredible.- Islander

Scope option for a truck gun
They come up used on Rokslide.com periodically. There's a 10X on there now for $250. I've actually killed my last two deer with a SWFA 10X, fixed. It's decent, but a 6X is better all around scope for truck use. -
Scope option for a truck gun
You can't buy a more durable scope for under $500 than a SWFA 6X fixed. Best hunting reticle too. -
Weight Loss Drugs
Once Ozempic is stopped, most people regain much or all of the lost weight because the drug’s appetite-suppressing effects vanish and the body’s natural set-point reasserts itself. It works while you’re on it, not after. Option is to take it forever or dramatically alter your life, to include...- Islander
