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…...

The 7mm Mag-A-Num. No, The Real One. Yes, That One Part I
05/21/2023 – A friend of mine, a clinical psychologist, expressed the opinion that people who obsess over politics are typically people who cannot get control of issues within their own life. Rather than deal with the near frustration, they persist in addressing problems well beyond their control. I am of…...
More Than A Wrangler, It's A Super Wrangler!..!!
Well, I probably picked the wrong firearm to debut the pictures from the new camera. Satin black bluing and matte black Cerakote®is like photography’s proverbial black cat in a coal bin… at midnight. I know, “What’s a coal bin?”. A half stop less and the Wrangler would appear as an…...
My Ruger GP100
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…...

Proof Positive Ruger Makes An Excellent AR
01/29/2023 – So, another day in Maine, another snow storm. Not bad… a little bit like playing Pacman with a snowblower. Today was a break. A day to reflect, stop whining and get the right mindset for tomorrow’s storm, which should dump another 14″ of snow. Funny how snow on…...
Ruger's Security 380
01/08/2023 – New Year’s Day has passed. Visiting family has gone, however, the house is filled with great tasty food that does not appear on an OK food list my doctor threatened to tattoo on my chest. What ever happened to “First do no harm”? So today was dedicated to…...
The 7x57mm... or 275 Rigby Part I
