I am seriously thinking about adding a performance "chip" to my 2014 Ford F350 with a 6.7 Powerstroke. It has all the power I really need, even towing my 8K travel trailer. I am looking to pick up a little mileage, especially when I'm not towing. Anyone done this and willing to recommend which...

My Sprinkler Contractor finally started digging ditches and installing my automated sprinkler system. When he gets finished, about 3 acres will be on an timed, automatic watering system similar to a golf course system. Now when my wife and I travel, everything will get watered. No more dragging...

The other day I was in my reloading/hunting equipment shop cleaning up some gear I had put off doing. Looking at all the stuff I have accumulated over the years got me thinking. I started hunting in 1948 when I was 7 years old. I started out shooting a circa 1920's Eastern Arms single shot...

I need some personal experience. I am getting ready to buy a new riding mower. I currently have a Sears/Craftsman 54" Lawn Tractor. It has been a great mower, had it 10 years with annual servicing done every year. Starting to have a few problems, so I think it's time for a new piece of...

The Monsoons are here! Pretty cloudy yesterday, but today lightning, thunder and the skies opened up. Rained for 3 hours or so. I am sure it really helped the fire fighters that are up there in the La Platas fighting the fire nearest me. Also cooled down from the 90's to 60 right now. Very...

Just booked a great cabin near Soldotna, AK for 3 weeks in May/June in 2019. My wife and I were going to pull our rv to Ak , but decided to fly instead. Got the cabin booked(thanks to AKaviator), now need to fill in the blanks.....car rental, airline tickets, fishing charters, etc. Plan to do...

I am looking at 2019 and starting to plan a few hunts. I have been building elk points here in Colorado for awhile as I want to do a wilderness guided M/L elk hunt. Doing a little additional research on a few outfitters. This will probably be my last backcountry hunt (I'll be 78 next year), so I...

I see the California Secretary of State has certified a ballot measure for the November ballot splitting California into 3 states....California, Northern California & Southern California. IMHO it has no chance of ever going into effect even if it is voted in. In the 1850 a measure splitting...

In addition to the big fire going north of Durango near Purgatory Ski Resort, another one started yesterday near the headwaters of bear Creek. It is in the Gold Run/WindyGap area. I live about 20 miles sw of there and it is smoky as hell here. The smell woke me up tonight. Everything is so dry...

I didn't get to the meeting yesterday, but my neighbor (who is a State Park Ranger) did. The subject of the huge spike in applicants for Sheep, Moos & Goat tags and the pref point impact had a lot of discussion. The Commission directed the P & W Director to put together a report on this. My...

I am cleaning our a file cab and I have a bunch of Eastman's Hunting Journals. they start issue 114 - Aug/Sept. 2009. If anyone collects them , let me know and I'll give you details of how many and whatever else you want to know. Just pay the postage and first "I want them", gets them. If no...

Went to run an errand this am and my truck had a flat left rear tire. Aired it up and went to Big O Tires in town. They found a screw in it. Fixed it an when I started to pay, the manage said "No Charge". I asked why...said he saw my Disabled Vet license plate, so the fix was free. THANK YOU BIG...

I have been buying points since Wy started selling them for NRs. I have 12 for deer and spent them all on a special deer tag for my favorite unit. Probably will be the last time for me to hunt deer in it as I'm 77 now and don't think I'll be able to accumulate enough to hunt it again. I also...

I was looking in the Wyoming regs on OHVs for their rules concerning cased/secured guns or bows like Colorado has. I don't remember that I had to have my rifle in a zippered or hard case and completely unloaded the last time I hunted in Wyoming. Nothing in the new regs that I could find. Anybody...

Just saw a press release that Yeti has cut all ties with the NRA. I don't own any, but sure as hell won't buy anything with the Yeti label on it now. Too many other products out there that do a great job for a lot less money!

I was wondering how much practice and or shooting everyone does. I am a firm believer in practice, dry firing and popping primers! I shoot competitively a couple of time a month (Cowboy Action), usually shoot trap once a month and shoot twice a week (Nov thru March) in a Bulls Eye Pistol...

Next weekend our rifle/pistol club is having their annual Gun Show. I am sharing a table with my son. I want a new concealed carry gun, so I'm selling my old one. Also have a couple of shotguns, a derringer and some misc. stuff. My son is getting rid of a couple of Browning Superposed O/Us, M1A1...

The State Senate unanimously approved a request by Parks & Wildlife to increase all fees in 2019. This includes all hunting and fishing licenses and tags. The proposed elk tag for a non resident would go from $450 to $660 and the fee for residents would go from $45 to $53. Still has a ways to go...

Served jury duty all day yesterday and have to go back to finish today. One trial (felony traffic incident) 6 jurors. Called 60 in for jury pool. Wouldn't you know it, it was called for the jury and picked. Sat most of yesterday listening to testimony, motions and tons of dead time in the jury...
