    My project on RocketHub

    You should put a zipper in the bottom to allow the brass to fall out when wanted.

    Overtorquers Anonymous

    Bwa-ha-ha-ha. I just busted a Burris X-treme ring last week, turned the nut right off of it. Good news, Burris was excellent to deal with and sent out a new ring to me no charge. Last winter I learned the hard way that the last idiot to rotate my tires torqued them down to about 250,00...

    Hunting & Fishing Boots and Pack Recommendation for Elk

    Damn, you guys are too high speed for me. It's been a few years since my last elk hunt but I did fine with an ALICE pack and tennis shoes. Actually, I have some nice Irish Setter boots that have lasted for several years and are very comfortable. But at least half of the hunt was spent in...

    Steyr SSG 69... Provenance? Information? Advice?

    What Alpine said, except the forward trigger is a two stage if not "set" first. Also the ten round magazine needs a modification device to use if I remember right. SSG (Sharfshutzen Gewehr [sp?]) means "sharpshooter's rifle" in German. "69" is the year it was developed. This was the...

    Interstate Driving Tips

    Dear GOD learn who's responsibility it is to merge. If your lane ends YOU have to merge into the other lane. If you are on a ramp it is YOUR responsibility to merge. Speed up and get in front of me or slow down and get behind me, but make up your mind and make it happen. Also, if you're...

    Maytag HAVC "WARNING"

    Maytag had a factory in a town about 45 min south of me, biggest employer in the town I think. Packed up and moved to Mexico. I'll never buy another Maytag product. I don't have a problem with a company moving, but moving to a country that is causing us so much grief? No thanks.

    Replies to "Thank you for your service."

    Most of the people I meet in the "real world" don't know I was in the military so I don't hear "thanks for your service" very often. And that is just fine with me. I don't want any thanks from anyone and I don't say it to other mil. or ex. mil. because I assume most feel the same way as I do.

    Is it really worth me moving to Illinois for work?

    I've lived here my whole life. You couldn't pay me enough to live in Cook county. Most of the rest of the state I like. The people are friendly for the most part, and pretty laid back. You aren't far enough from MI that you can't go back and visit or hunt. I don't know what your financial...

    Ft. Knox safe vs installing a vault

    Building a "vault room" out of anything less than reinforced concrete isn't gaining much. Unless the Fort Knox has a "TL" rating from UL it isn't going to gain you anything over the Liberty. You could look at a used burglary rated safe. I bought the one here at the store from World Wide Safe...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife steels. Which do you like in a folder, fixed?

    I've used O-1, 420, 440, ATS34, S30V, S90V, and I'm sure some others. I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter. As long as the steel has been treated correctly and isn't investment cast it all holds up, and it's all a trade off.

    Hunting & Fishing Caribou Hunt?

    Three of us hired a pilot to drop us on a lake in AK about 10 years ago. We tagged out. Caribou hunting is not difficult. Either the caribou are in your area or they aren't. If they are, sneak up and shoot one. If they aren't go fishing, shoot ptarmigan or varmints, or just enjoy life away...

    Some scrimshaw on elk ivory. These are 10x plus actual size, wish I could shrink them down to get a better idea of what they look like. Other stuff I do.

    Hunting & Fishing Annealing bullets?

    I've never met Nathan Foster, he may be the nicest guy in the world. Me calling him an ass-hat was out of line, I wouldn't have called him that in person and I shouldn't have done it on the internet, I apologize. However the laws of physics stand. I dug up a couple of my old manuals...
