I don't know crap about ATV's. Mine suffers from lack of use more than anything else. I started it a couple of times over the winter just to charge the battery and such. I went to actually use the damn thing yesterday and had to charge the fucking battery to start it. Once I got it started I let...

this seems like the best place to put this.

I have tried quite a few different kinds of work wear over the years for both paint work and other stuff like yard work, cutting firewood, etc. The Truewerk T2 work pants are probably the most comfortable, best quality I have tried. Designed well, the fit is good, they won't ever shrink and they...

I am not a computer person. I really do not want to be one either, but it is now impossible to function in business or most anything else today without a reliable computer. I have a Toshiba Satellite that I bought in 2011 which really has served me well. I paid nearly $1000 for it 13 years ago...

My grandmother always said "...life is what happens while you are making other plans." It barely seems possible that I joined this forum over 10 years ago. March of 2013 to be exact. Tempus fugit. When I think about where I was and how I felt one year ago at this time I still wince just a...

Not unlike the shanks, too many deer hearts go to waste. It's a damn shame because it is surely the most delicious organ meat on the planet. I stopped wasting them years ago and have tried cooking them many different ways. Everything from marinating, grilling, sous vide/searing to pan frying in...

When we moved out here 23 years ago Nancy insisted that we put up a flagpole. I had never really flown a flag before and it never really mattered to me much, but it seemed like a good idea since I love this country, so I was happy to do it. Our first flagpole got bent several years ago when we...

A buddy sent this to me. Taken near I-70 and W. Broad St (west side of downtown Columbus for you out of towners).

Nancy. She has been entering the baking contest at the Hartford Fair for about 15 years. Last year was the first time they had the competition since 2019 because of the plandemic. She did not enter last year because life got in the way. Every year she has entered she one a blue ribbon except...

While I was practicing today I noticed this big fuggin' moth on the neck of my deer target. I must have shot a dozen arrows into that target before I noticed it. This thing has about a 6" wingspan. I've never seen one before. They do not feed, so their life span is very, very short, so I feel...

free if you come and get it. yes, I have the combination.

Yesterday I went cut and split a load of firewood and got a surprise when I pulled tarp off of log splitter, which has been sitting next to pile of logs at High Voltage acres for over a month. I don’t mind snakes, but I don’t really like playing with them, either. We managed to convince this one...

Do any of you electrically savvy fellows have suggestions on how to properly repair the broken bend in this 40 year old metal conduit? This post rotted off at the ground and fell over when I bumped it with the mower deck. I'm pretty sure the conduit got opened up when the post fell over, but it...

While I was mowing at High Voltage Acres today, I got off the mower long enough to walk down into the woods and check my Ostrich fern patch for any late fiddleheads. Fern patch was less than 100 yards from the tractor. I walked within 10 feet of newborn fawn on the way down the hill to the fern...

I'm in the middle of settling my Mother's estate. We don't have enough stuff of value to hold an auction, and most of the smaller stuff will be donated to worthy causes here locally. I have some larger pieces of furniture that I don't want to give away or put in storage and that I and my sister...

"Adrift" is the most accurately descriptive word to describe my life since the end of last squirrel season. I may have a hand back on the rudder now, but I'm not sure I'm steering at all. January 30, 2022 after a pleasant day of squirrel hunting Nancy slipped and destroyed her ankle. March 29...

Per request, here is how I do it. The most challenging part of this is cooking the squirrel to the desired doneness. Tender enough to enjoy, but not falling apart tender like pressure canned squirrel as this would make cooking them further almost impossible. Took some trial and error as there...

Gotta get a new one. Ain’t got a clue. Replacing HP Officejet 6700, which did a fine job until it died

I have recently come to possess all of the finished arrows, arrow shafts, fletching jigs, broadheads, field points, quivers of various styles (no bow quivers, though), packs and other stuff that belonged to a friend of mine that is now deceased. I'm going to sell the things that have some...

I realize that this is of interest to only a handful of people around here, but if you have turkey feathers from wild birds or can get them for free, this is great service to use. With the cost of full-length domestic turkey feathers at $115/100 and full-length wild feathers over $25/dozen, this...
