    Lost my lifemate.

    My wife of nearly 59 years lost her struggle with multiple medical problems and passed away early Saturday morning. If so inclined, I'd appreciate any prayers for her soul. Living with and loving her as I have for so long has left me in a state of loss that is unimaginable but I'll just have to...

    L C Smith Restoration

    I picked up this Elsie from the estate of my wife's old boss for $150 a number of years ago, much the worse for wear. The wrist of the old oil saturated stock was shattered into 6 pieces but I was able to find a 90% butt stock at a stock turner a couple of counties away for $100 which needed the...

    What is ammo going for in your areas?

    Ammo sold on a statewide hunting forum here is running right at $2.00 per round for non-magnum centerfire rounds. How does that compare to other areas of the country?

    Unusual capture on a game camera.

    Found this photo on my game camera of a grizzly old buck sauntering down a forest lane. Was just on a stroll swapping out chips on several cameras and wound up with a selfie.

    Have to brag on my granddaughter.

    My granddaughter ran the Houston marathon yesterday; 6889 runners in total and she came in 104th in the female gender (top 3%), 6th in her division (20 to 24 yr. olds) and 506th overall. Not too bad for one so young who has only been running marathons for about 3 years. Last spring she ran her...

    Hurricane Florence could be a bad one.

    Pray we don't get hammered too badly by Florence, but they're predicting it might hit Cat 4. At the speed it will be moving it could punch inland a good distance much like Hugo did in '89. We still have people in my hometown living in hotels after losing their homes to the flooding from Matthew.

    Didn't know a TASER could do this.

    This is what happens when a TASER hits a loaded magazine in his back pocket. https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/949109023688634368/pu/vid/1280x720/04WCi3g3_pmAtBgk.mp4

    A major source of pride!

    My eldest grandson has survived four years of study, four seasons of collegiate football with nothing worse than a broken wrist, and hopefully is prepared to make his mark on the world. Best of luck son!

    Time for Grandpa to brag.

    One of my twin granddaughters ran her first trail 50K this morning in Wisconsin, actually her first 50K of any kind, and she came in 1st place in the women's division and set a new course record which had been held for 6 years. You may be assured Grandpa is proud of her. Pics were sent to me...

    This man speaks his mind regarding closing of gun show.

    It's refreshing to hear an average citizen speak his mind regarding gun control. This took place at a city council meeting in Greensboro, NC where they were meeting to discuss the closing of an upcoming gun show as fallout from the Parkland shooting...

    Friday's Tunes

    Songs with a different twist. A local group but getting quite a following. I believe they'll be at Red Rocks on 1 July. Hear it through, give it a chance to sink in; they're not mainstream but there's always some room for the eclectic. The Avett Brothers...

    Friday Tunes: Do you remember the 70's?

    Caught a bucket full of paper mouth perch (crappie).

    Had a blast this afternoon catching these. Only stopped because my old hands got so cold and stiff I couldn't hold the minnows to get them on the hook. Don't know why the program rotated the pic, it wouldn't allow me to straighten it. If anyone knows how to straighten it out I'd appreciate the...

    Say a prayer.

    My former neighbor and hunting and fishing buddy from when I lived in Denver died today in Billings after losing his battle with dementia and recurrence of cancer, so anyone so inclined can offer up a prayer for Robert Barrett and his family. Bob grew up around Hayden, CO and was instrumental in...
