Yeah. It’s bullshit, but like lots of bullshit, some are gonna believe it every time. It’s been researched and tested for years, nobody’s found any measurable reason why the brass/welding/wood rods cross. I finally gave up arguing and reckoned its poor man’s geophysics. You have a detector, you...

I don’t know…. I’m told the two most life affirming things a person can do are buy a boat on time or get a dog. Either one suggests you’re hoping to live longer than your return flight.

Well, here we are. I've carpeted 18 individual pieces, and got 16 installed. I've learned a few things. 20 ounce carpet is thicker than 16 ounce carpet. It occupies more space. Thus, if it fits, it's probably a bit tight. If it doesn't fit, you'll need to redo it. When the guys on youtube...

Made one with some friends a long time ago, had a lot of fun brewing it. Finally finished the last bottle in 2015 as I recall, it was 20 years old. Tasted real good. Our patience was rewarded.

I've a portable 10KW generator. If you go this route, here's some tips. Get 10 gallons of gas and have at least 5 on hand all winter. That'll give you power while you go get more gas. Change the oil and filter after every use. Drain the gas and the carb out as well. Go to Harbor Freight and...

I’ll remember this story for a while, and I’m not even part of it. You all will never forget this. Congratulations!

Dugan and I got to the field yesterday. Surprise: I found a covey of huns in a place I've hunted them for years but hadn't seen any for the last 4. Dugan had no notion of them, of course. And yeah, I missed. We were joined by this glamorous couple. He was pretty tired at the end of the day.

Regarding the Ocean Spray Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce... I was the only one among 5 siblings (and their spouses and kids) on my wife's side, and two of us (plus spouses and kids) on my side, who liked cranberries. My mother in law and/or my mother would ask, annually, what kind of cranberry...

The shotgun? Well, the first thing you need to know is it's 75/25 the damn thing goes off at all. It's likely to fire significantly later than when you pull the trigger. The guy who showed me how to load it did it this way: Place measured amount of powder in the barrel, tamp. Place wad, or 2...

Roper: I hunted muzzleloader for quite a while. I built a Cabelas kit .54 cal percussion Hawken, which I’ve been fortunate to take several deer with. I also have a 12ga sxs shotgun, and a .50 cal pistol. Building a kit is a lot of fun, and shooting it once finished is kinda like catching a...

Thanksgiving was always the worst when I was a kid. Put a kid in a suit and tie, yell at him not to get dirty playing touch football in a Puget Sound November, Card table in the basement, drunk uncle, yadda, yadda.... When my kids were growing up, with two families of inlaws in proximity, I...

Ah yes, back to the saga. 2 sheets of ACX handled the job. 1 4x8 sheet for the main deck area, the other cut and spliced for the foredeck and the small sidedeck pieces. The original pieces where some extra was required used a bazillion steel staples to hook them together, I've chosen glued half...

Cool! I got a set of plans some years ago, they remain unbuilt in a drawer around here somewhere. Maybe after I finish my current boat project it’ll be time….i look forward to the videos!

Stairs too steep.

The Washington State Legislature focused on expanding the Western Washington bird release program into Eastern Washington, and on promoting the “Pheasant Preserve” private hunting program statewide. They decimated the wild bird program. That coupled with ag practices minimizing cover and food...

A lot of good rules above. Safety rules summary and checklist for me. PFD, my own, because it fits. Anytime I float on anything.. Herkileez' wading staff. Industral strength essential safety equipment, especially with todays "sticky rubber" wading boots. Everytime I'm in moving water. PFD...

Similar here, though not as eager, breezy, 54 degree water, good viz, most fish marked in 15-25 feet of water. Almost 4 hours, 1 12” fish to hand, lotta short strikes, this guy took a double blob, 22” thick healthy fish

I carried a 12’ alumacraft in the bed of my short box f150 for years. Needed to tie it in fom the bow, and tie the stern down inside the bed, and then it was no problem. Snug it down on tour rack and yiu should be fine.

Generally, radiation is not bad. But, that being said, everyone responds differently. Here's some keys to getting through it. First: Get your rest. The fatigue will build slowly, but eventually cannot be ignored and you will be hard pressed to catch up. You'll want to have energy for the chemo...

His words and stories are like a comfortable old sweatshirt, a pleasant way to spend an evening with a reading light and a scotch. I never met him, but all of us feel we knew him to some degree. I suppose one could hardly say better of a writer in this niche sport. Whether his collected...
