I had a recliner bought in 1996 I think, finally give up the ghost a few months ago. I had repaired it a number of times. The rocker spring units replaced, and springs under the seat replaced a...

I believe there is a scene in a movie from 1956 called "The Last Hunt", where the two main characters are reloading their buffalo cartridges around a campfire. I'll have to dig that out of my...

A bit over 10 years ago when I was still working, I bit the bullet and got the Forster 3-in-1 cutters for 223 and 30 caliber, the power trimmer base, and the nicest Sears Craftsman full cast iron...

Same experience here. After using a dozen other brands of tires over the years, when I got my first set of Michelin on my pickup, I was muttering to myself, "I should have been getting these all...
I own three "Tauri".
First one I got was a PT22. Fair little pistol, not very accurate, and very picky on ammo type.

I was looking in my retirement journal, and made a notation on May 4th, 2015. I saw the only flying B-29 (at the time), "FIFI" high over Henderson, TN. I was stopped at a traffic intersection and...

I had a '91 Caravan some years ago. Probably had about 75,000 miles on it when bought. Had the Mitsubishi 3.0 V6, and it burned so much oil that the seller called it "Old Smoky". I got it for quite...

KM4MYM here. My hearing is shot, so I rarely if ever use voice or audio. However, I have a lot more flexibility in using certain frequencies for telemetry in other hobbies I have.

I have assembled my own 300AAC Blackout, and 458 SOCOM rifles. Both were attractive to me, because all my standard AR magazines work without modification. I can swap uppers and lowers between the...

When I retired at the end of 2014, I started keeping a daily journal of what I was doing, where I went, tasks done, etc.

That was a great lesson in WW2 history for me. Seeing that veteran pilots eyes light up when he realized that the gear down landing footage was him, made the show. Thanks for the link. Spitfires had...
