Crazy game tonight in Winnipeg. I still loathe the Avalanche so I was glad to see it. Interesting that all the home teams have won game 1s (so far, waiting to see on Vancouver-Nashville).
My Red Wings didn’t make it so I’m hoping a Canadian team can get to the finals.
When I’m on a multiday hunt, I carry a journal and write in it to help pass the time, especially in the slow parts or the middle of the day. It’s a way to chronicle my adventures, and it helps me remember some of the special non-hunting experiences like hearing music from a sunset church service...
I have a thing about finding obscure, little-known battles to read about. Anyone can be an expert on Gettysburg or Normandy or Waterloo; how much do you know about the Falklands or the China-Burma-India theater?
So now I’m reading this, and it’s really good:
I agree on insoles; it sounds like the OP needs to look there rather than at the uppers or outsole. Insoles are the easiest and cheapest part of a boot to address, and in many cases can make the biggest impact.

1. Full grain leather Rocky Ironclad soft toe boots, size 13. Tag says 13m but they fit a wider foot (wider than mine, anyway). Waterproof and in good shape. The sole is solid. I have cleaned and conditioned the...
My son’s Browning BL-22, which he inherited from his great-uncle. I’ve been told it’s one of the best lever .22s made. His great-uncle passed away when my son was a pre-teen and had just seen “True Grit.” He picked out the Browning specifically because it looked like a cowboy gun.
I live in San Antonio and hunt often on public land. Texas has both walk-in public hunts and drawn hunts. A lot depends on what you want to hunt and whether you’re willing to drive a few hours — as others have said, there are lots of opportunities for bird and small game hunting, but far fewer...
I got this from the library and finished it in three days. It’s a very engaging biography of Frederick Russell Burnham, who help develop the concept of organized military scouting, first in the American Southwest and then in Africa around the time of the Boer War.
