Cook in the tent or no.
Bro started me on cigs at 12, finally quit about 30ish. Quit at least 2 dozen times. Once for 2 years, but back then cigs were allowed as handouts on gaming tables. My work station was steps away so I "just smoked one", yeah, and another, and...can't stand the things now though, even I have a...- fmnjr

Darn knees
I'd be real interested to hear actual recovery times of those who had partial knee replacements in the past. My research indicates recovery from a PKR is defined by stages. Stage 1 recovery would be walking without assistance at 2-3 weeks. Stage two would be moving about with full range of...- fmnjr

Thanks….my intention is to do just as you described. The goal is to get a missing part of my life back. Sounds like you’ve done it in your case, that’s great!- fmnjr

Darn knees
Just got a partial knee replacement done yesterday. The procedure is known as MAKO robotic arthroplasty using Stryker Triathlon stainless/titanium parts. Here's a vid giving a good overview: So far, so good no problems aside from having to chunk pain pills. 3-5 weeks is the best case for...- fmnjr

Hard water - need advice
Wow, I thought we had hard water here in Vegas. Apparently it's not as bad as I thought after seeing this. If the calcium carbonate is that bad, you should see evidence of it around faucet openings. It it's that bad you likely have build up in your home's plumbing system as well. It'll be hell...- fmnjr

Metalworking Hunttalkers!
You nailed it. Took me awhile to catch on. After it dawned on me the hood I was using wasn't going to cut it, I picked one up that has some type of light gathering tech built into it plus it has a 10 inch window. Works pretty good, at least I can see the weld area now thank goodness.- fmnjr

Don't know about the hood lens except it's an auto darken job. No glasses under. Welder is 140 Easy MIG. I've been trying different angles to see what works. Got some soap stone and yellow marker paint yesterday, going to try it today. Am researching whether some kind of very strong LED light...- fmnjr

Beginner welder here. Started playing around with a bench top welder and soon found out how hard it is to see where you're going with the weld. I can't see anything but the weld pool! What do you all use to mark, or get a better view of, the weld pool?- fmnjr

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
The noted economist, Milton Friedman, makes a solid case that the greatest inflation in our economy comes from one source, government spending. Economist Milton Friedman famously stated, "Inflation is made in Washington," attributing the root cause to excessive government spending and money...- fmnjr

Nevada Area 24
Best of luck, some day you'll draw it. I arrived on the day after the opener. On the second day I met up with a real nice NR guy who told me it took him 30 years to draw the tag. Fate/luck, whatever you call it, was with him. He and his wife woke up after daylight the morning after he arrived... -

Nevada Area 24
Tbh, unit 24 was probably not the best choice for a hunter of my experience. It is a great area, and there are some very big mulies, but, for me, finding them was impossible. If there is ever a next time, I'll have the experience to know exactly where/how to hunt the unit. Anyone getting a buck... -

Looks like this thread has about been beat to death. But, as far as I'm concerned, I make no bones about being happy with the outcome of the election.
