Because I'm simple minded I would first try to find a suitable pipe to insert all the way to the bottom of the existing riser, leaving your 6 inches of additional height sticking out. If that proved to be acceptable, a pair of cross bolts at right angles should secure it in place. Pieces of...

I have been fortunate enough to see one whole cat and most of two others in the wild. In 2022 I packed a float tube into a small hike-in lake. While I was on the water a cat took down a deer about a hundred yards back from shore. It was an unpleasant thing to listen to - deer can scream in...

Yup. Barge in the yellow tube is/was contact cement. As I recall, the process was schmear it onto both surfaces, let it skin over and then put the two pieces together being sure things are lined up properly first. It's been over a decade since my last repair job.

I used Barge Cement to refelt a couple of pairs of boots, and the bond outlasted the felts. About 55 years ago I used Barge to attach pieces of kitchen carpet to a $4 pair of surplus Nam boots. That worked too.

Foxglove and snapdragon volunteers.

I had it for a couple of years in the right ring finger. One shot in my palm fixed it.

I smoked 3 racks of pig parts in preparation for a Mother's Day gathering..

Native Nootka rose.

Corvairs. Bah! I had a 1960 introductory-model Corvair 58 years ago. It was fun to drive after I put 200 pounds of weight plates in the front trunk, but overall an incredible POS. My favorite memory is the furnace, a gasoline-fueled heater in the passenger footwell. It put out amazing heat...

BW had a remarkable talent. He's better known for writing and recording My Maria. He died at 38 from a surgery gone wrong. Dave Loggins wrote this.

Boot, that last shot…

While we are birding Arizona can anyone offer an identification of this hummer? I took the photo at Superior, Az, on a 22 degree March morning during a historic cold snap in 2013. Merlin says Anna's, but given the combination of red cap and green gorget….I question that. I've seen lots of...

I took a shot at making my first pizza the other night, but I think I cheated. I sort of built it from a kit. I bought a Winco crust, and little clear plastic coffins of sauce, Italian sausage nuggets, cheese blend, pepperoni, and crumbled bacon. (Not Canadian bacon, just regular breakfast...

I don't know how this would be categorized, Swamp Music maybe? It's…… different.

Cinnamon drake.

K Pump, $104. Caddis Fins, $70. Outcast Anchor, $65. Garage Hoist, $?. Rod Holder $20. Gear Bag, $90. And I know for a fact that he will throw in the air for free!

Shhhhh! Two reports and I will be shunned as crazy. Well, more shunned.

It looks like this pair came through the winter in good condition.

I took a group of Boy Scouts hiking from Cold Springs campground near Sisters, Oregon, to Camp Sherman, on the Windigo trail. A requirement for the Hiking merit badge was completing a 20-mile hike in one day, and this was that day. Shortly after we crossed hwy 20 at Indian Ford it began to...
