    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    The really great spinoffs from the space program that we enjoy and take for granted today are endless. I remember back in the early 70's Rockwell (the company I worked for then) started a company that used the spray foam insulation developed for the the second stage of the Saturn rocket to...

    Artemis 1 - Back to the moon

    Took too long to do this. ( started my aerospace career of 40 years, working on the Apollo/Saturn program over 60 years ago). The argument is it was too expensive and what did we get out of the billions we spent. Probably the most beneficial is what we all use today and take for granted......the...

    Knew you would be home before the court date and wouldn't come back to fight it.

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I lived in Texas for a couple of years and there is almost no public land for hunting except for SW Texas around Big Bend. Hunters have always payed to hunt, that whey we see so many Texans here in Colorado. They also high fence their land and import lots of exotics, especially African game...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I drew it last year with 7 and 2016 with 5. I really havn't looked at the breakdown, guess I'll have to do that again.

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I have a much narrower point of view. I only hunt a few deer and elk units and they are not really blue chip units. Over the years I have found a few that I know well and I have been successful in. The one thing that is being discussed that will potentially hurt me the most is using points for...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    The other thing that they are considering is using points for 2nd, 3rd & 4th choices, which is a huge change as now only 1st choice uses points. I choose a point for first choice and choose a unit I can usually draw for 2nd or 3rd. I can still hunt almost every year even tho my 2nd or 3rd choice...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I hunt out of state a lot and I go to California too ( I was born there and lived there for 58 years before I retired and left). But when Colorado residents are only get 50% of the drawing tags in certain units, there needs to be something done. Our CPW tout that we (residents) get 75 to 80% of...

    Parks and Wildlife Commission License Distribution Workshop

    I have listened to about half of it, I'll finish later this evening. My first take is this Commission is leaning heavily toward the liberal, conservation and tree hugger members. (I encourage you to google CPW Commission and read the resume's of the members). I really believe the last 2...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    3 1/2 weeks after surgery, started PT yesterday. Woke up this morning a little sore. Did some stretching, coffee and my mile walk. Pt will be 3 days a week until at least mid October. Still losing weight, over #60 this morning when I got on the scales, has taken 18 months. Really happy with...

    Tomorrow's The Day

    Had my post op appointment with my doc today. He said I was doing fantastic and I will start full blown PT next week. This whole back surgery and recovery has gone a lot better than I expected. Hope everything continues!

    An explanation of residents frustration

    There is a current group of Colorado residents who volunteered to participate in a roundtable to discuss changes to the big game hunting rules as far as tag selection, preference points and many other points that may or may not be up for change shortly. I applied to be part of the group, but was...

    An explanation of residents frustration

    It's all about money. If we cut the number of NR tags and put limits on OTC tags, we (residents) better be prepared to pay more to hunt here.

    Thoughts on Browning White/Gran/Feather Lightning

    Why 16ga? I would rather have a 20 ga. Easier to get ammo and you can get the same or better performance with a 3" 20 ga that the 16 ga.

    Burn Pits.

    I'll start by saying I am not defending the military and how they handled their base operations during this period. My experience in the military is a Vietnam era draftee in the Army who was injured in a non combat situation which resulted in my disability. The bases in the middle east combat...

    Colorado Monsoons

    I havn't been out in a couple of weeks (been recuperating from back surgery), but a neighbor was up around Silverton and the high country here in SW Colorado looks lush & green. Tons of wildflowers and water everywhere. Monsoons started a month early and have not let up. Got some rain here last...
