I think Fresno completely drained this summer, due to a ruptured irrigation pipe. If anything survives, it's probably the pike!

My favorite lake was always best from completely dark until around 8 am when the sun hit the water. This year fishing has been poor there, but I'll keep going back until ice over.
I was working for...

We used to buy old canners before season, and sell them after. I sure didn't want one around all the time. I was a farrier back in those days, so had plenty contact with horses without having one at...

I suspect it's probably a reproduction. A 30" barrel will shoot fine.
FYI, last week I bought a new RIA 1911, and there was a promo I hadn't known about. They gave me an AR style .22LR free! You might check your local dealers to see if this is available in your area.

The spring would be an easy thing to try out. I have several different weight springs for my 1911's. For plinking, I have a light pleasant low recoil load to shoot, that requires a different spring...

Hubbart Reservoir is on the tail end of nowhere down by the reservation line about 40 miles west of Kalispell, and it's a bit of an expedition to get there.

I've been putting memories down for family for when I'm gone. These are just a few things that came to mind.
I started hunting, fishing and trapping at a young age. I was fishing as soon as I was...

That sounds like a bullet diameter problem. It may also need some fore end pressure.

My place was logged with one of the buncher fellers. Very efficient and interesting to watch. They are very quiet when operating. He cut 17 logging trucks full in three days, cleaned up the brush,...

I remember previous discussion on this board, that a chemical available at hardware stores will suck all the oil out. I also recall if you get it on your hands, it will suck out all the oils, and it...

I had turkey buzzards nest on my place for the first time this summer. They left here about two weeks ago.

I probably met your dad, I bought a lot of buckets of wheel weights there over the years, and bought a few sets of tires.

Larry has the best solution.
I have removed them by packing small pieces of paper towel down the bore, tamping them as tight as possible as you fill the case. IF you get lucky, once you have...

I talked to Jerry's wife yesterday at the Kalispell gun show, and will see her again today. She still has some of Jerry's rifles she is selling, real works of art. I think I still have a couple of...

I suspect they put in the wrong trigger. Lots of variations in Mausers. My X got a nice custom rifle at a gun show years ago, that would fire when the safety was taken off. Looked it over, and they...

I seldom have one break, but it can happen. I figure the rock hadn't had a proper upbringing, and didn't have a good work ethic.
