They are adjusting sprinkler pattern and flow.

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...

It has rained 4 nights in a row and fixin to rain again this afternoon. Wind blew so hard last night that it blew down limbs over the elec lines and power was out 2 hours. It also blew over 3 hybrid cottonless cottonwood trees on my neighbors place.

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...

This picture must have been taken close to the tornado....LOL!

These are from last year. Rainbows & Kokanee fishing is great. Hope this year will be too, even with less water. Lower water= more concentration of the fish LOL

Wife and I went to Durango yesterday to Ft. Lewis College. Man it was smoky, hard to breath. Last week we went to Vallecito Res to look at the lake level as we are going there in a couple of weeks camping and fishing with friends from Calif. Lake is really low. Snowpack was less than 50% of...

I built the thumbhole stock on the .220, completely refinished the Wby stock. The maple stock on the Springfield I built about 60 years ago, lots of character (dents & scratches). The rifle is a sporterized military 1903 Springfield built in 1927, still shoots sub moa.groups. I taken moose...

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...

Here are a couple of pictures of the 2 x2 mount I have. I shot this buck in 1969 in California's High Sierra not to far from Mammoth Mountain. He was with 2 other bucks as big as him. They ran into a thicket of brush and I shot the first one to come out. I never knew he was a 2x2 until I...

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...
