    Maggie’s Motorcycles from Eastern WA to Fairbanks

    Try to rock-proof your light / lights as much as possible. Maybe a spare clear shield) Those logging trucks come flying in the opposite direction in the gravel sections, and they don't give a fuck.

    Physical Fitness Anyone have hip arthritis

    I have some on my L side. As long as I walk 10,000 steps a day ( Total. Includes every step, about 4.5 miles for me) it keeps it at bay. My ortho guy says "Motion is Lotion". So far he's 100 % correct.

    A toast to the venerable Remington 700 5R mil-spec

    Don't feel bad. I lost significant money buying the coolest of the time, expensive rifle and scope also. I even thought about selling the 5R. Turns out, for some reason, I couldn't get better results with the new rifle, and sold it at a loss. Taught me an expensive lesson.

    What a great rifle. Paid about $1K new. Astoundingly accurate, and I'm no expert shooter...

    Not worth it if you need your job. You can't beat HR. They are not there to help you (don't ask me how I know). Now, if you were thinking of retiring soon, well, then show him the full Monty...

    I have basically stopped tipping, and its paying off.

    In my experience in Germany, they won't even do that. You have to ask for the check before they will bring it. You can sit at the Hofbräuhaus München all day after you are done eating. If you don't ask for your check they won't bring it. A local told me it was considered rude for the waiter to...

    Help with hearing loss and tinnitus

    What I don't understand is combat vets that come back *without* hearing loss and tinnitus. There is such a thing, I understand. I shot my dads 30-06 maybe 30 times with no hearing protection when I was 15, but what probably got me was riding fast bikes with loud headers for many decades. I'm 65...

    Yea, I probably would have cleaned it too. What Todd Hodnett (look up his credentials) meant in his course was that after you clean a long range rifle you have to shoot a few rounds (close to 20?) through it to "re-coat" (my term, not his) the bore, which will get it shooting back to it's...

    "The fastest way to turn a half MOA rifle into a one and a half MOA rifle is to clean it." Todd Hodnett (although this one looks like it needed it)
