04/30/2023 – I have owned some fast cars and I have owned some pretty cars, but none have served as well as a 2005 Ford Escape. A couple hundred thousand miles on its odometer, it does not leak or burn oil, or dribble coolant. All wheel drive, it has braved […]
04/23/2023 – There was a period of time, in throughout the 1960s and into the mid 1970s, when drag racing was the number one participating and spectating sport. Tracks operated, some three days each week, all over the country in 1/16th, 1/8th and 1/4 mile track conformity, car owners were […]
Spring is here, but spring temperatures are not. Skippy has a grapple related malady. Of course, the only accessory on the tractor not made by the John Deere elves. It isn’t the grapple itself, but rather the small associated wiring harness added to the tractor in support of the grapple. […]

I thought we were there. Snow on the ground was melting and receding, icy stalactites were loosening their grip on the gutters, and the house and driveway were previewing the magnitude of clean up that would keep me busy through spring. Mud season. Then the snow began to fall, heavily. […]
03/12/2023 – When the original reloading press tray 1.0 was constructed, above, there was no intention to rest on our laurels. More so, we were surprised, after extensive research, that laurels was not a metaphor for “butt”. The process goes something like this. Get an idea, turn it into something […]
I will leave the roles of Alaskan homesteader and subsistence hunting to others who actually live those realities. Rural living, at least in my area, is certainly not the same. Anytime a person lives within an hour round trip to a Hannaford, they are not in a survival setting. For […]
Warning: Bullet selections are specific, and loads are not valid with substitutions of different bullets of the same weight.
