    No more Boy Scouts

    My experience as a scouter was also one of the biggest teaching points in my life. I could go on forever with stories, but lets just say it was meaningful. Got my son into it and told him one of the biggest regrets I had in life was not getting my Eagle. I made "life" and stalled because of cars...

    US Marine ranks.....

    All good jokes and the ribbing is part of tradition. I have great respect for anyone that signs on the dotted line. A friend of mine who was my supervisor years ago was the first sergeant between North and South Korea for a couple of years. All of his stories trumped mine from living on a Tin...

    The benefits of a college education

    You just have to make sure when kids are applying for the loan, what it is going to look like to pay it back. I have an AS in automotive tech. Paid for it myself as I went to school. My wife has an AS in Nursing. We paid for that as she went. My son was always a miser. He woked at a restaurant...

    Cemetery Etiquette

    I have to admit I had more respect when I was a kid. I worked for a landscaper for a year that took care of one and we would spend hours driving a mower all over. You had to be careful because time was money, and you had to get it done in a timely manor. Mowing over an old {sunken} grave that...

    What firearm have you owned the longest?

    My Marlin 444. I bought it new when I was 13 years old in 1977. I wanted to have something big enough to hunt anything in North America. Still have every piece of brass that has gone through it. A few years back I had a friend load up some 300gr hollow points for blowing stuff up. They do.

    Am I being paranoid?

    Think of it this way, whatever means you used to find out all of those office are in Greenville, probably the internet, is also REAL easy to monitor.

    First batch is hatched

    We used to watch the nests at work all the time. They would nest in the gravel fire road or up on the roof where moss and other debris would accumulate. Takes a while to find there nest sometimes and I read they dispose of the shells after hatching to hid the nest in case it gets used the next year.

    Car Battery Question

    If you are worried about over charging, power the charger with a chrismas tree timer for one hour a day.

    "The Mighty Stopping Power of a 1911"

    I don't own one, but I do love them. I think for most, the relationship began when you were packing one in the service. Depending on it to get you out of a bad situation. Coming to rely on it to not fail when needed. Over time, you begin to trust in the weapon. And a relationship is born. Much...

    Heading to Newport Oregon, Nye Beach next month. Need suggestions

    Forgot all about clearwaters. Great food and a clean place with a nice view of the Bay and the sea lion dock. Tidal raves in depot Bay is excellent and if you want to head a little further North. The sidewalk cafe will never, ever disappoint. I believe it's in Glenden beach.

    Heading to Newport Oregon, Nye Beach next month. Need suggestions

    You are playing in my backyard. Nanas for a killer Reuban or any "Irish fair". My wife really likes the chowder bowl, the chowder is not real thick and creamy and she loves it that way. Local Ocean on the bayfront for fresh seafood. Stephanie's in Nye beach for breakfast. It takes some time but...

    OK to clean semi-auto barrel by immersing it in cleaning fluid?

    I take off the wood and use my solvent tank. Works great on the crusty old powder around the breech and the inner workings of the trigger assy without having to completely disassemble.. I clean it well including the barrel with a brush while submerged. Blow it completely dry, use brake kleen to...
