    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Mine is the rifle length version. Dad picked it up from his first cousin back in the 30's when they were hunting, after his cousin missed the first deer he shot at with the gun and complained about the gun. Dad said, "I'll give you what you paid for it." $35 later it was dads. I saw him make...

    My back sure likes my use of the grapple to saw logs at waist height also. You mentioned maintaining a dirt road in your first post. I bought a TR3E property edition implement from ABI. https://www.abiattachments.com/product/tr3-e-property-driveway-road-grader/ It does a great job on our gravel...

    Crap, I hope if you're the ruIe, that I am the exception. That sucks but good to hear you are progressing. I have a doctor visit Monday as a follow up to the ER visit. This is definitely a different issue than I've ever had before. I do see a chiro, and have for many years due to recurring...

    Has anyone dealt with leg weakness after sciatica? Googled it, but general answers. Had a severe bout for 20 hours on Monday of this week and now have about 50% leg strength in my left leg. I do have a doctor appt. next week, but curious what others may have experienced for muscle strength...

    Raises went into my retirement fund. I figured if I could live on "x" per week, then put it away for the future. Bonuses paid off debt and bought a few toys along the way, but no extravagant spending, vacation homes/timeshares, etc. Sometimes I think we should have "smelt the roses" a bit...

    @Hobo Hilton what are your thoughts on Ramsey? I found him a few years ago. I find that many of the things he is a proponent for align with what I have done over the years, with the exception, at times, vehicle purchases. If the spread of interest rates paid on a vehicle loan vs expected...

    Ok, you raised my blood pressure again. Every time I hear the "trust funds" are going to run out I get pissed. The money to fund illegals, Ukraine, welfare, etc. always seems to be increasing, no problem finding that, yet the money we paid in "may not be there...". I'm 63.5 and plan on...

    Shouldering and AR or anything has not been an issue for me. NOD's? No idea. Magnum recoil? I gave up on them years ago, my body was not cut out for it. Also, not they are not needed for anything I hunt or shoot (up to elk size) as I'm picky on my game shots, plus I have an upper neck issue...

    I've been using this reticle, as it seems to keep the reticle size proportional to the animal when the "power" is increased. Some of the reticles act like FFP and some like SFP in regards to keeping the reticle relational in size or not. Experiment on a target and you will see what I mean. I...
