    Our furnace is pretty old and seems to be having issues today... It was running normally this morning but at some point today the BASO pilot switch tripped. I've reset it several times, but it keeps turning off. I've turned the thermostat down and it has kicked on and off normally through 2...

    Dantes textbook buck.

    Some of you may remember a few years ago, I shot a really nice buck but instead of hearing that nice hollow "thud" I heard "crack!"...

    Shooting steel

    Shooting high power rounds at steel at close range.... bad idea. My buddy yesterday. 762 x 39, steel was about 15 yards. Ricochet only penetrated about 1/2 inch but was right on the joint of his hip. Could have been much worse, but he's really hurting today.

    First xbow kill

    Figured if I was gonna go high tech, I'd go all the way. Rage heads and all, gotta admit... the damage is impressive. She was quartering to me, I put it right on the shoulder. The bolt went through the shoulder, chest, and opposite leg, still had enough energy to bury in the ground on the other...

    Political rant

    I realize I am preaching to the choir, but this needs to be said. The whole world knows this election was rigged.... the whole world. Russia, China, Iran, the whole world is laughing at the simple idiots in the U.S. To those that voted for president trump, we tried... we were hoping this...

    Whiskey

    Not long ago, the company I work for hired a guy from the UK. Hes a good guy and I enjoy working with him and I've learned a lot about the way things are abroad. One topic that came up was his love for single malt scotch. I told him that for rural teenage redneck kids, scotch is too expensive to...

    Investing

    Last week the company I work for gave us a profit sharing bonus. It wasn't a lot, a little over $500, but its money I didnt have before. I'm considering using it to dip my toe into the stock market. I understand that when the market is down is when to buy. Any advice is welcome. How does a...

    Mailwoman hates me

    Couple times a year she has to carry a heavy box up my steps to my door. This one is actually kinda light for a change. I have a buddy that orders at least 2000 at a time... they make him come to the post office to pick them up.

    My wife is showing interest in getting her ccw. I have a ruger LC9 that I don't really use and offered to let her have it. As we were poking around the sporting goods store today, a ruger SR22 caught her eye. She picked it up, handled it and liked the way it felt better than the 9. Anybody have...

    Outboard motors.

    My father in law bought a used boat a few months ago. Yesterday, he informed me that his wife would actually like a different one and asked me if I was interested in buying his. I told him I would give him what he has in it and he agreed. So here I am, with a 16 foot (I am pretty sure it 16...
