    Manufactured Outrage

    "suddenly my social media feed..." Kill that anxiety machine ^^^ and the world is a completely different place. I have zero social media. It's awesome. It started when people I didn't know started jumping into discussions with family on Facebook. F that! I'm gone. Life is suddenly incredibly...

    Iguana (Chicken of the trees) - Anyone ever try this?

    Dinosaur (actual chicken) is better, but lizard (iguana, not a dinosaur) is still good.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    A little riverside campfire meal before sitting in the deer stand. Highest water I've seen in a long while. The dirt road from our clubhouse to my little outdoor kitchen had 6" of brackish water over a low area after less than an hour.

    W9 Tax form

    Well, I was today old when I learned the IRS specifically says scholarship and fellowship grants should not be reported on Form 1099-MISC or 1099-NEC, regardless of amount. You positive the email asking you for his SSN is actually from the scholarship provider? Scholarships are often announced...

    W9 Tax form

    It's standard for an organization if they want to report the payment on a 1099. You can call them and request that they don't get the W-9 and that you'll send it to them if they end up needing to report the scholarship payment, but if they do need it it's going to need the social security number...

    A little humour for your day

    Just bought a new standup freezer. Got the Maytag, since it has no Bluetooth, simpler thermister controls, no operating system, no wifi. Simple to use. Far less to break.

    What are you currently reading?

    A Bret Harte classic about the gold rush. 128 years later my folks were caretakers at THE Roaring Camp on the Mokelumne River when I was a teen. It is still an active mining operation, with the added opportunity of a few cabins that folks can rent for a week. Mined a lot of gold on that river...

    Get that poison out of your freezer. You can't eat it if it's not there. Willpower starts at the store. Don't go down that aisle. Say out loud "Poison!" when you get near it. It may help.

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Steady at 175. Was around 178 for a while, but a bit more frequent dirt bike rides took that duff right off. At 64 it takes a bit more to stay fit.

    How many guys using Michelin LTX on your hunting rig? Experience?

    60000 miles on mine. LTX A/T2s. Not enough difference between them and Defender LTX M/S2 for my driving. 2WD Expedition with rear locker. Off-road use is forest roads. No snow. The Defender will give better rain performance on the highway, which is the biggest weakness of the A/T2. A little rain...

    Let’s see them camps!

    It's definitely "normal" for us, but I am thankful and amazed to live in such beauty every day.

    Is your wife tracking you?

    Mine is the Garmin InReach Explorer Plus. Garmin has their battery specs and manuals online. Exactly which model do you have?

    Is your wife tracking you?

    You can change tracking frequency on the Inreach. You get about 4 days with 1 minute logging/10 minute sending. In extended tracking mode you get about 30 days of battery life if you only use the screen on the Garmin. And that's with sending a breadcrumb every 30 minutes.

    Is your wife tracking you?

    I ride dirt bikes and hike in the woods and mountains, with maybe 25 overnights a year. 99% of the time I'm solo. I send tracking to my sweet wifey with a Garmin InReach. 10 minutes per breadcrumb.
