Firearm information for the enthusiast
When the Ruger PC Carbine was reintroduced a pistol caliber carbine in December 2017 and Ruger aptly dubbed it… the PC Carbine, I was shocked, amazed and awestruck. In fact, I distinctly remember thought bubbling, “Huh? Wait.. What?”. Now there are fifteen models and they are popping up like Tribbles. […]
Ah yes, I remember when a work day was comprised of suiting up and working through a new product presentation or presenting quarterly financials to board members. My basic objective was to justify my position and salary, while they were there mostly for a report of no problems, free donuts […]
Summer is at an end, fall is not being shy in its arrival and only about half of the planned projects around the house and shop were completed. It wasn’t so much poor planning or time estimating that rendered our Gantt chart and network diagram irrelevant, as much as unplanned […]
If you told me that the 444 Marlin is the best cartridge for medium to large game, 50 to 1500 lbs, I would probably say, “Uh-huh“. If you told me the 444 Marlin serves no distinct purpose, I would probably do the same. In a world of cartridges and rifles […]

Old people require little sleep and, no, I don’t know why. It is not like you get to an age and you decide life is so precious you don’t want to waste a second of it sleeping. And it is not like you become afraid that you will go to […]
I was listening to “For What It’s Worth”, early Buffalo Springfield, and it came to mind how much 60s rock music sucked. With few exceptions, music lacked bass, brass and had way too much circus organ keyboard. Lyrics were redundant, banal, and lacking in… substance. Fans were the product of […]
