    His work and persistence paid off

    Well he got his second one today. He saw a buck running with two does and blew his call to stop them. They stopped and he dropped the buck. I told him a couple years ago that he could get them to stop with the call. He remembered! I'm still striking out. :rolleyes:

    Gunfire and Brain Injury

    We have a 6.5 Creedmoor and it's a great light-recoiling round. I also have a .243 Win and it recoils even less but is nowhere as versatile as the 6.5 CM. You must've had a pretty light rifle for recoil to be a factor from that round.

    Gunfire and Brain Injury

    I don't want muzzle break because the muzzle blast is increased so much. It's as bad as the recoil. The older I get the more I appreciate light-recoiling rounds.

    NFR The time switch sucks!

    The reason there's more light when you get off work is simple: You went to work and started your shift an hour earlier despite what the (now transformed) clock told you. Change the hours. Leave the clocks alone.

    NFR The time switch sucks!

    Just change the hours of schools and government offices but please, leave the clocks alone. It's what we're already doing anyway (other than the changing the clocks part).

    His work and persistence paid off

    Yes indeed. We ate the heart and half the liver last night with fried onions and potatoes, some freshly-picked Chantarelles with some red wine. One of my favorite meals, except I cooked the liver too much and botched it up again. :rolleyes: If it's kept nice and pink inside it's mild and...

    His work and persistence paid off

    Nolan is very patient and persistent, two qualities that help to make a good hunter or fisherman. He has worked hard to improve and hone his shooting, sign reading and calling since he started hunting two years ago. We went out for a quick trip yesterday afternoon to a area that's been good to...

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    The boat was originally powered by a Volvo, but was redone in the 80s and replaced with this engine, a 52hp 4 cylinder Westerbeke. This one is a marinized Mazda S2 diesel. Mazda built these engines under license from Perkins and used them in pickups, vans and for industrial uses. It still...

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    Ketch rigged. Added: My reason for pulling the engine turns out to be the failure of an inaccessible $2 banjo washer that seals the crankcase sump drain hose. So, after replacing the $2 washer, I'll probably be out about 750-$1k for the other parts I'll replace (motor mounts, damper plate...

    What have you done for your boat lately?

    It's a Swedish Trålaren. They were built in a yard in Stockholm for 12 or 15 years in the 70s and 80s. Mine is the only one I know of outside of Europe. https://tralaren.com/

    Pulled a 40-year old engine out of the engine compartment. The means for picking it from the boat. The pick Ready for the ride to the shop. In another month or so after some work in the shop and in the engine compartment, the process will be reversed.

    Stay safe

    Tragic and avoidable. Treat every gun as if it is loaded until you know otherwise with absolute certainty. Don't merely rely on someone else's word, check for yourself. ALWAYS know your target AND the background downrange behind it. If you have any doubt whatsoever, do not fire.

    How did you end up in your career?

    I studied water resources through a civil engineering degree at UW. I worked a year at King County and could see the inefficiencies, tolerated (often promoted) incompetence as well as terrible internal politics and got out ASAP. I got my MS in civil engineering doing hydrology work for my...
