    Broken Stuff

    I know a guy who would just drive to the small local airport and drive right out there where the planes fueled up, enter in a fake tail number to activate the pump, put in his credit card, and pump 30-50 gallons of it at a time…. He he

    Broken Stuff

    I’m too stubborn to switch to a battery power tools at this point in life and I would need a ton of batteries to do my place. Nothing against anyone who goes that route. It's just not for me at this point in life. The prior owner of this weedeater had run ethanol fuel in it and the exhaust was...

    Calling Bears

    No, we just kept on calling the same old spots. To be honest western PA didn't have many bears 20 years ago. It was pretty rare to see one. If I recall correctly, this was the night we called that bear in. We were soaked from the rain. Ironically, coons come running in like little bears lol.

    Broken Stuff

    Took another go at it on my lunch break. 5/16-18 threads and a bolt should work just fine to hold that thing on there.... PS: If you don't own a die grinder, you need one....but be careful....it will cut your fingers right the hell off....burning 56,000 RPM's... Now to address the actual...

    I would say that the exhaust bolt had never been removed for the life of the weedeater and you know how metal on aluminum is....If only the manufacture had used some high temp anti-seize. My buddy told me I should get out my tig welder and fill the hole and file it flush. Which I agree with...

    Calling Bears

    20 years ago I called one in at night calling coons in PA. Came trotting in to a Johnny Stewart tape, bird in distress. I was scared, the bear was scared, my buddy was scared. Lol

    Happy Father's Day

    Late to the party here. Happy fathers day! To celebrate, I made my father-in-law super happy by letting him know that I had caught his $75,000 Kubota skid steer on fire yesterday. And I quote "Son, I have accidentally burned more machines to the ground than you owned" lol Quick thinking and...

    2023 Antelope/Deer and Resident Elk Results Available

    Like I have said many times on this site and many others: "Even if residents had ALL the tags, and no NR's were allowed to hunt (Insert ANY state here), Resident hunters would still not likely draw LE tags with any form of regularity and their licenses would cost 10X more....and then fight...

    Investments - what has served you well?

    I knew the filthy rich and powerful of the 500 would get things magically turned around as soon as their investments were moved, and all suspicions had ceased to exist or be questioned. If only a guy had dumped that spare million, he had in his sock drawer into the S&P500 in March of 2020...

    The new age of Hunting

    I don't shoot at big game animals past 400 yards with a rifle. That is my self imposed limit. If I can't get closer, well, let's be honest, I'm mostly a bowhunter, so yes, I can get closer. Much closer. lol I also don't shoot past 50 with my bow at big game animals. I practice out to 80 though...
