    Apollo 11.....50 Years Later

    Jim, I was very fortunate in being in a field of work that I loved, I was never bored. Spent 37 years doing it and worked with some great people.

    Apollo 11.....50 Years Later

    :eek:Not faked. I held a top secret security clearance for many years and worked on a number of classified programs, among the B2 Stealth Bomber and YF23 Advanced Technology Fighter. The way security is maintained other than the "need to know", is to compartmentalize everything. I had over 100...

    Apollo 11.....50 Years Later

    50 years ago I was a young, inexperienced kid just out of college and landed a job at North American Aviation on the Apollo Program. I was working with all these old geeks, most WW2 vets. They had a lot of patience and taught me a lot. Now I am the old geek and most of my mentors are gone. I was...

    What Makes A Big Mule Deer?????

    What do you prefer & why....Ford Chevy or Ram truck? You'll get about as many answers as the amount of the US debt! Myself...I like wide stance and lots of mass. A narrow rack (no matter how high) just doesn't do it for me. I've been hunting mulies for 65 years and have shot over 100 bucks. I...

    How Do You Define A Successful Scouting Trip?

    I don't do a lot of online looking at an area I'm going to hunt. I look at Google Earth and get a little perspective as to terrain. Nothing beats rubber on the gravel and boots in the dirt. I'll look for things you can't see easily, old scat, old beds and trails to & from water sources. I hunted...

    Which state has the best opportunities and draw odds for Resident Hunters

    When I relocated from California after I retired 20 years ago, hunting opportunities was a major consideration. I relocated to Colorado. My first choice was Wyoming, but my wife had other ideas. In 20 years I have been able to hunt elk, deer, antelope and waterfowl and do pretty well. It took a...

    Reloder-16, Reloder-22, Reloder-26 Q&A

    I agree with JimP on almost everything he has said. I use a .30 cal bullet that was designed over 50 years ago. It shoots sub moa and kills. (Nosler Partition). The load I use in my 30-06 & 25-06 I developed then 40 years or so ago. I do like to play around with my .220 AI Swift, fun to work...

    300 Weatherby Loads

    I only load 180 gr Nosler Partitions in my .300 Wby, so my work and data is probably no good for anything you guys are doing.

    Case Cleaning 2019

    I do like JimP does. I use Lizard Litter for media. It is walnut shells that I get from a pet shop. I pay about $10 for a #40 sack...way cheaper than Lyman or other commercial media and does just as good a job.

    Non-typical doesn't even explain it...

    I've seen several bucks over the last 50 years that had pretty strange antlers. I shot one and it didn't have any balls. Really fat & great eating. I've also seen them with weird antlers when the deer was previously injured.

    Reloder-16, Reloder-22, Reloder-26 Q&A

    Basically burn rate in the Reloader Powders decrease as the number gets higher. RE 19 is slower that RE 16, etc. I've played around with this series of powder and really like the results, just have to find the right combination.

    EarthQuake

    Born and lived in southern California until I retired when I was 58 in 2000 and moved to Colorado. I experienced a lot of earthquakes. 2 really stand out for me. The Whittier quake in 1987 was a tough one as it effected my job big time. I was a Manager on the B2 Stealth Bomber program in Pico...

    Happy 4th !!!

    Having a fish fry with Alaskan Halibut (wife & I just caught them) for a few friends, drink a few brewskis and watch the fireworks in town. We live 4 miles away and uphill, so we get a great view from our deck. Everyone be safe and enjoy our nations birthday:cool:

    Most people don't like change, especially us old geezers...that's why I still have Windows 7 Pro! Just have to get used to it. I may not like it, but not much I can do about it. What's with my avatar, really out of focus.

    Question for you Nebraska folks

    In August I'll be driving home from a reunion in Waterloo, Iowa. I want to stop in Casper, Wyoming to see a friend before heading home to Colorado. Looks like US 20 is almost a straight shot, with most of it in Nebraska. Whats it like? I'll be driving my F350 diesel towing a 26' travel trailer...
