I have a question for all of you about solar power. Our rifle range has no electrical power. We do have an electric gate with a card reader that works of of a solar cell and battery. We want to to put a security system, possibly Wifi and computer hookup and some security lighting. The closest...

A while back Eastman's Forum members were offered a discount on Juniper Mountain Coffee. I bought 3 12 oz packages. It was very good coffee and I just ordered some more. I am a coffee drinker and it is really good, if you like coffee and the discount is still available, try some!

Our local Safeway Market has a big sale at Christmas/New Years time on Prime Rib Roasts. If you buy $50.00 worth of other groceries, you get the Prime Rib for $4.98 per pound. I bought 2 ( one 12# & one 14#) and will cut them into Ribeye Steaks. They are wonderful on the grill and you can't get...

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Our family is blessed to have another successful year.

Just got home last night from a very successful antelope hunt here in southern Colorado. My hunting buddy bagged his first ever antelope and it was a really great one. I'll post more later today when I get unpacked and have a little more time. Here is one picture, notice the spot low on the...

I spent a ton of time in Baja since 1973 and met some of the early pioneer travelers. Mike McMahon wrote several books and published a wonderful map.

Yesterday my hunting group bought our deer and antelope points. Hope we have enough for a 2024 hunt.

Our late summer monsoons have started. Every afternoon for the last 4 days we have had thunderstorms, lightning and rain. Yesterdays was spectacular, tons on lightning and thunder with huge rain cells. Got almost 1/4 inch in a few minutes time. Archery hunters, come prepared!

Last Saturday was our annual Hot Air Balloon Festival. I was leaving for a practice session at the indoor pistol range and got this picture. Came out better than I expected!

I was going thru some old pictures when I came across this one. It is of my son, who was about 5 at the time. We were sitting drinking a brewski or 2 and my wife said "Look at Steve!" We all started laughing and I took the picture. Kids are so innocent when they are young. We used to go to...

To all the Fathers out there....Happy Fathers Day to you all. I remember my Dad as the example in my life of what life and Fathers are all about. He was the rock of our family and the example for myself and my sisters to look up to. Dad passed in 2012 and is missed, but still in my life. 3...
