Graham Greene quote-"I'm gonna debark yer leg"

No, we found for the contractor. If it would have been left up to us we would have stuck the vagrant with the max interest the state allows, but the Judge told us to leave that up to him. The contractor brought the suit, the vagrant countersued because apparently excavators are not a leave no...

I just did my part, a guy sued a contractor basically because he didn't want to pay. Three days of our time, but it could've been legit, it's how our system works and I'm glad to do it. They rescheduled mine because of a vacation we had planned. Yesterday my wife got her invitation to serve.

I had a survey done fifteen years ago, and the surveyor found a mistake made (40 years ago)half a mile up the road that shifted everyone's lines fifty feet. I paid 300 bucks to the county to split the difference with my neighbor and record it as such. Rest of the folks on the road will find...

I might like to hear snowboards hurtling at me. Perhaps I could avoid the collision. Everyone I know has been hit except me.

The guy on the left looks like a future drowning victim to me.

If it pairs well with smoked salmon, I'm in. If there's smoked salmon in it, I'm out.

The craziest adventures make the best memories…. and stories, even if there is some hardship experiencing them in the first place.

I’m having a hard time sending more money. Haven’t got tubes for the two I bought already. I know it’s a good deal, but I just want them to get their act together.

I have a friend with no acl in his left knee, he’s a damn fine skier, and does it with no brace. If you know how to do it, the acl is not all that important. The two of us, in our late sixties might occasionally hit the high fifties, just for fun, but we’re incredibly reckless. I tried to...

As bad as the snow situation has been, the folks at White Pass have been doing an awesome job of keeping enough terrain covered so we can have some fun. Was there yesterday wearing a tshirt under my shell. Will be there tomorrow. Pray for snow, do a snow dance… whatever. We need snow for so...

Scientists say you can’t attribute a weather event to climate change, and that is technically right. A whole lot of weather over time is the data used to assess a climate, and so they ARE related. If the climate is changing it is natural that our expectations of what weather we will see should...

Get the manual. Lyman is probably the best for starting out. Read it and it will tell you to start with a light (minimum) load and work up to a load that is not necessarily max, but provides the velocity you need and the accuracy you want. You also don’t want to load too light, because if the...

Nice. Not much improvement on that press is possible. Digital scales are nice. Reloading is for OCD Neanderthals. I am one, so I know.

I like double action/single action pistols with safeties and decockers. I have striker fired pistols also. I know two people who have shot themselves in the leg while holstering a striker fired pistols. An untucked shirt can interfere with the trigger while holstering. My Springfield also...

+1 on canceling that card. Minor inconvenience. Last week in a group text with our kids, we all got a weird text from what looked like my wife’s phone number…. Weird because it should have her name… and it has an attachment. Fortunately no one clicked on it, but another example of how the...

The last phone I had destroyed by salt was a Samsung also. Salt got in through the poorly designed power port. I am on my third IPhone and have much more confidence in the design of the case. So far no problems.

15 years ago salt water would destroy a cellphone. My iPhone is water tight enough that I’m not the least bit afraid to use it out on the salt, and rinse it under the tap when I get in. I put C-maps on it download the area I’m in. Put it in airplane mode so the battery lasts. On land I use...

The reliance on gps devices is making paper maps more difficult to obtain. I have old ones of most places I need to go, they don’t show new roads, but at least I can see where the lines get really close together and plan my route accordingly. Hard to see that on a map just a little bigger than...

Rained at White pass today. Pretty thin but still some good skiing.
