    "Pulling rank" during the Christmas season

    Agree. If a grandchild is being punished, then I can see the parent taking issue with a grandparent that gives them a reward. But in this case, punishment was not an issue. Also, not to be overlooked, the doll is being given as a Christmas present. Just a little humor on the side, this is same...

    "Pulling rank" during the Christmas season

    Pull rank - "When a person of higher position or in authority pulls rank, he or she exercises his/her authority, generally ending any discussion and ignoring other people's views."

    "Pulling rank" during the Christmas season

    Being a career Air Force man, my dad would sometimes (rarely) use the term "pull rank" for any decision that meant going against the opinion of my mom. Perhaps one of the most well-known examples of a dad pulling rank was in the movie "A Christmas Story" when Ralphie's dad bought him a BB gun...

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    Here's the link to a key scene from a very good movie that focuses on some of the challenges those who are deaf deal with every day. The actors who play the mom, dad, and brother are deaf in real life. You can stream it on Apple Plus.

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    Yes, my friend spent several thousand on his hearing aids and they definitely help. Still, I've learned not to try and say anything to him from any distance, even when he's wearing his hearing aids.

    Hunting and being hearing impaired

    The guy I hunt with is hearing impaired to the point where he requires hearing aids. While my hearing isn't what it used to be, hunting with him has made me more appreciative of being able to use my hearing when in the woods. While he appears to hear much better with his hearing aids, I've...

    Jack O'Connor's definition of long range shooting

    Something that I enjoy when the wife and I hit the antique stores is looking for old books on hunting and the outdoors. One of the things I enjoy most about them is how they give perspectives on hunter viewpoints and opinions from years past. I found the one in the photo below and can already...

    #$%^$ beavers

    Yes, several. My partner and I use them to monitor game trails, including one that I have one next to the pond that I mainly use to monitor feral hog activity throughout the year.

    #$%^$ beavers

    My partner was able to find what was probably the beginning of a feed pile in a nearby creek.

    #$%^$ beavers

    One of two that have been frequenting a nearby pond for several weeks now. I have photos dating back several years and most of the time I suspect they've been hanging along a creek that passes through the area. But it's been very dry for the last couple of months so I suspect they're coming to...

    #$%^$ beavers

    My partner recently put up a game camera where deer have been entering and leaving a pasture. This photo shows all the was left when he went to check it earlier today. No sign of the sapling or the camera. Thankfully, it was one of those cheap, $25 cameras.

    Moen Lifetime Warranty

    Moen is one of those companies that stands by their lifetime warranty. Had a tub spout with a shower diverter that cracked along the side of the opening after 25 years. Called them, sent a couple of photos, and they're sending me a new spout with the diverter. No receipts needed, just my word...

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    Very much so, which is why I was very surprised when he asked me to keep receipts. Both of us watch very closely to make sure we're each sharing the load at our lease.

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    Good and healthy discussion. I sent him a message admitting the truth, that I mistakenly threw away the receipts while cleaning the clutter from my truck and that I would just pay the total. He evidently read between the lines and replied back the receipts aren't necessary and what he had paid...

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    This is true. I once hunted on a lease with a guy who was notorious for asking you to pick something up and say I’ll pay you back. Then when came time to get it from you, never ask what he owed you.

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    No, just another IT retiree like me.

    When a friend asks you to keep receipts

    How would you feel if your hunting partner asks you to keep receipts for hunting-related expenses you agree to share? I've always been the kind of person who just asks others what I owe them without a need to see physical proof of what was spent for something. In this case, we're only talking...

    The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

    I have one much like it that belonged to my grandfather. Sometimes called a "gallery gun" where they were once common in shooting galleries at carnivals. Remington manufactured them on a license from Browning which is why they look so much alike. I also have a Model 241 that Remington...

    The Rifle you haven’t shot in a long, long time…but should!

    A Browning Micro-Medallion A-bolt chambered in .243 Win that goes to my youngest after I'm gone. It will remain in the safe until that time comes.
