    Looking for investors. Designing new camouflage that has a proven track record. The first release will be camouflage patterned after twist ties (like on a loaf of bread). Everytime I remove one I cannot find it. Following that release will be camouflage patterned after 10mm sockets. I see...

    Vacation vs. Staycation

    I retired 7 months ago from a mental, but not physical, job. I wore myself out mentally during the week with work and travel, and then wore myself out physically on the weekends keeping up around home. Getting away for a few days a couple times a year was an attempt at a reset for me, usually...

    Pappy Boyington

    When I was in high school, my dad told me one of my high school shop teachers was a fighter pilot in the Pacific in WWII. I was blown away as Ray was a very quiet, soft spoken man. I later found out he was in the wrestling Hall of Fame in two states. One day I asked Ray if he ever met Pappy...

    K-Bars Who needs a Ka-Bar

    We'll say the black 1258 short is the freebie. The handle circumference on it is quite a bit less than I envisioned, but still comfortable as I don't have overly large hands. I do kind of like the plastic sheath with it, as the guard rides over ramps and drops into a slot, effectively locking...

    Mental Health/ Resetting

    I'm glad to hear you and others are able to "reset" from work with their hobbies. My job, and my personal desire not to fail the company, led to the loss of hobbies and dwindled friendships over 42 years of work. It wasn't about putting the job first so much, but rather the desire not to fail...

    Most memorable hunting advice

    Also, don't forget to also change your alarm clock back to standard time. I got up to get ready to hunt this morning. After my morning routine I glanced at the clock and it was 3:55. I got up at 3:45 instead of 4:45 as I forgot to change the friggin clock back an hour...

    Most memorable hunting advice

    Pay attention to the blue jays, when they are scolding a deer is near. Give a whistle to stop a deer for the shot (bowhunting). Stay until quitting time, not 5 minutes before. If you have to snap shoot, hold (what feels) low. (This worked on a wounded deer when jumped, in the boiler room!)...

    Indicators of Business / Seller Instability

    Well, all I can say is the individuals that wanted me to use Zelle could not communicate in plain english. That's a red flag to me. Good luck. A Quick Google search: Do scammers use Venmo or Zelle? The convenience is great, but it's important to know who is on the other end of your...

    Indicators of Business / Seller Instability

    I got hosed on a motorcycle seat one time by a place in St, George, UT. They said they only took personal checks, no credit cards. No seat showed and nobody answered the phone weeks later. I must have been one of the last before they shut it down. It was about 20 years ago so it may not...

    Ogden, UT. cop lies to homeowner about having a warrant. Homeowner isn't having it.

    The homeowner sounds like she went through basic training with Lee Ermey.
