Ruger's Bearcat
Too much time on my hands so I try to keep busy. This weekend it was repairing, of all things, woodpecker damage to the covered porch ceiling. Tomorrow afternoon I’ll sand it out, attempt to match the stain and see if Gorilla Wood Filler is any good. But, early tomorrow […] [Read More]

The 7mm Mag-A-Num. No, The Real One. Yes, That One Part II
05/28/2023 – I don’t know. For all of the capital equipment, supplies and manual labor I’ve put into the concept of gardens, I believe there should be a better return on investment. Rhododendrons made a brief showing a few weeks ago; flowering, shedding within a day or two and then […] [Read More]
N8 Tactical Magna-Clip Magazine Carrier

Smith & Wesson M&P®9 M2.0 METAL
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 […] [Read More]
My Ruger GP100
