    Ain’t no school like the old school

    A package showed up today. Retro this year. I haven’t shot the .243 since I took my daughter elk hunting in WY years ago. I think I’ll give it a workout this year. Pre 64 M70 Leupold M8 6x36

    Roof project

    We didn’t use our camper much at all last year. Pulled it to a Montana over the 4th of July this year, and during a thunderstorm downpour we noticed water dripping. No bueno. When we got home I got up there and started poking around. Uh oh, soft spot. Ended up tearing out a 2x4 piece of roof...

    Hip replacement questions?

    Went to see a sports physician to help me with hip stiffness. He ordered an x ray and a follow up. At the follow up today he told me he is referring me directly to an orthopedic surgeon for a consult. He said my x ray showed severe osteoarthritis. Anyone here had a full replacement? What was...

    Kudos to Fenwick

    This happened a while back. A buddy suggested I reach out to Fenwick. To my surprise, they warrantied the rod despite the fact it was my fault it broke. Fortunately/unfortunately, however you wish to view it, I had already ordered a replacement. This forced me to add another spinning rod...

    PSA: Wear Your Wading Belt

    I joked about this yesterday, but I took a dunk in the river yesterday. Fortunately, I WAS wearing a wading belt. I was fishing along the base of some cliffs, standing on a rock shelf in the river. I stepped off the edge of shelf and was up to my chin with no terra firma under my feet. The...

    #*^@#* the Solstice Guinness Stew

    For all of my SAD afflicted friends, here is a stew to warm your soul as we celebrate the addition of daylight to our lives. We commemorate the public land elk who gave her life, at the hands of a 6.5 CM no less, for this dish. Here is to longer days and a steelhead green (hopefully) river.

    Lightning Trees

    Post em up. I love finding trees that have been zapped. It’s impressive to see what it does and what they can survive.

    Tipi style wall tent?

    https://montanacanvas.com/product/montana-canvas-hyalite-tent/ Anyone use these or something similar? It would be really nice to have wood heat in the winter, but for most of my trips a wall tent isn’t worth the set up effort or the drying afterwards. This seems like it would pair well with...

    Wilderness Jambalaya, Post Hunt Epilogue

    My buddy got his resident guide license to accompany me into the dangerous wilderness. In return, I drank a Voodoo Ranger and made jambalaya. Oh, and some fresh sourdough bread.

    Is your mall crawler ready to go?

    I wrestled the last skid plate into place this evening and bolted everything up on my Tundra. Changed about every fluid front to back as part of my preventative maintenance schedule. Shocks are new a couple of months ago. Brakes should be good for another year. New tires coming in early...

    Get away from the keyboard and to the range challenge.

    Stealing an idea from Rokslide, which was a lot of fun. Slightly altered. A friendly shooting competition. You win nothing. You build skills and have less time to argue minutiae. Rules. 100 yard range Target. NRA B-8, printed on 8.5x11. A round outside the 8, but on paper will be scored a 7...

I met Wally in 1999. He was a sun baked cowboy in a dilapidated Datsun pickup. Before I knew it he had me laughing and...

    Early retirement present…

    I have been contemplating a new side by side shotgun for a while. I was looking at the RFM shotguns, imported and sold by the Upland Gun Company, as an option. The price on them was far more than I’ve ever spent on a firearm, so I was considering it as a retirement gift when that day comes...
