    Have we come full circle?

    I know what you mean. I don't really care what you do as long as you don't try to force those ideas on me. I've gotten pretty deep into Craft Beer and the beer industry has more than their share of liberals. At most breweries you will see lots of pink/purple hair, piercings, tattoos, and gays...

    Who uses one piece cleaning rods 30 caliber?

    This is what I did. I bought a end cap and a threaded end cap with a screw in plug and made a rod holder. I think used 1-1/4" rather than 1" so the handle would fit in the pipe too. I also use a coated Dewey rod.

    Welp wife needs a new job

    I have 90 hours towards a teaching degree. I woke up one morning a few weeks before I was scheduled to start student teaching and realized that I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life. I didn't even want to do it for one day. I stopped going to class and started job hunting. Ended up...

    Wanenmacher's Gun Show Tulsa April 1-2

    Its a great show! I've been to about 50 of them. At one time there would be several collectors association tables that were worth the price of admission to see. Browning, Marlin, High Standard, Winchester, maybe a few others. They would also have a celebrity there every show. I've met James...

    Random Karma OR just shitty timing

    We witnessed something similar once. We were following our youngest Son that was driving His Mustang 2 when the spare tire and wheel came loose from under a tractor truck. Fortunately it made a flat bounce and was on or near the ground when He hit it. He went airborne for a car length or so and...

    Accidents happen

    Best wishes that you heal completely, Lefty! Sorry, no pictures. Here are my last 2 mishaps! I have a nasty scar on the base of my thumb going down into my palm that I got from a broken insulator while working Hurricane Charlie in Florida. It cut through a glove and I ended up with 5 stitches...

    Falsely accused & pissed

    Repairing streetlights was a major part of my job for 25 years. I would suggest you call the Arkansas Public Service Commission and report this. This will get their attention faster than a call from the Mayor or even the Governor! My orders came to me through a call center but I repaired lights...

    Upgrading insulation in a home?

    Just a suggestion. Talk to your electric supplier. Many of them offer things like free home inspections where they recommend improvements, grants or other type of assistance for insulation, or sometimes interest free financing for energy saving improvements.

    When I left the hi-line crew and transferred to the distribution crew the forman would come get me everytime they needed an antenna worked on. The larger service centers had their antennas on towers, usually 230ft. The smaller rural offices had theirs on 100ft wooden poles. It seem like the...
