Firearm information for the enthusiast
I thought I was getting caught up with this year’s projects. Not a chance. I attempted to wash off the porch’s rim joist and found surface rot where the granite slab front step had been bearing against the wood. Trapped dirt and moisture took a toll. At 1,400 lbs, the […]
This is Hostas number five. Yes, it is supposed to have big, two tone green striped leaves, as did Hostas one through four. One by one, overnight, they were converted into green stalks. The disappearance of leaves was not much of a mystery. Yesterday afternoon, while eating lunch, a very […]
