The meditation properties of rifle cleaning When I once again became aware of my surroundings, Jackson Browne’s lyrical “The Pretender” was playing through the shop’s scratchy computer speakers. Standing ankle deep in thousands of bore residue covered cleaning patches, a multitude of gun cleaning solvents and lubricating oil were open […]

High Standard Sport King Special, Model A1041
03/17/2024 – A new neighbor stopped by to introduce himself the other day. He had purchased the abutting property to the south. Seemed like a nice enough guy although, I have to say, new neighbors stopping by is usually accompanied with a request… “Mind if I cut down your trees…...
Buck Mark Vision Black/Gold Suppressor Ready - Vortex Red Dot
09/30/2023 – How to make bobcat, coyote, fox, and hawk chow I don’t cry over varmints that I eliminate. Not when guilty of the crimes of damaging structures and/or getting more out of my vegetable garden than me.Ā Until varmints can make financial restitution, they are fair game. I like…...
Ruger's AmericanĀ® Rimfire Target
It’s 3AM. I’m working on this week’s article. A TV show is on in the background to create a little settling down noise, a documentary that might help me understand the culture of Comic-Con. The noise isn’t settling and I will never understand Comic-Con culture. Three cups of dark coffee…...

Browning's SA-22 Challenge
Yesterday, the morning was spent digging up and pulling out a pear tree by its roots with the tractor’s backhoe. Deceptively large root system for a less than massive tree. Working outside feels really good, even if the result is only being muscle sore or taking a nap. Love this…...
Ruger's Mark IV Target
11/21/2021 – Computers suck. I opened WordPress to begin a new article and was once again confronted with a blank page. Happens every week. My stupid cell phone can anticipate my words, auto correct and express emotion, but you… you stupid tin box, all you can do is hide under…...
Browning's Buck Mark Plus Vision
12/06/2021 – Try as I might, I cannot seem to stand still in time, as I always end up getting swept along by the things changing around me. One day I am waging a losing battle of spoon feeding strained peas to a baby progeny.The next day I am trying,…...
Browning's Straight Pull T-Bolt Target 22LR
My wife and I took a day off to watch the tourist survey New England foliage and to take some pictures… of the foliage. Beautiful day, but too soon into fall for really brilliant colors. We have lived in a number of states that put color into seasons, but mostly…...
