Well, this isn't so much a new year thing as it is a life thing. I'm pushin' 50 and have noticed I'm NOT as strong as I used to be and the fluff has started to build up around my naval so my goal for the next chapter in my life will be to exercise a bit every day without using everyday...
Fort KDM was blanketed in a couple feet of winter filth. Charged in to battle with my ski mask, gloves, and my small but feisty snowblower. I attacked the 4 ft drifts with a vengeance at which point the drifts just laughed and continued to grow right before my eyes. I'd gone for about an hour...
It was just another WTH for the SD game and fish and this whole ridiculous idea. These "volunteers" will have to fork out ALL THE EXPENSES, provide all the equipment, go through a test, and then spend a whole week of their lives to help a govt agency with a stupid idea and then they are...
You have to be a special kind of hard core to "Volunteer" for this. If I were a SD boy and WIN the lottery, my reward is to provide all the travel to the site, provide all the equipment to take the animal, work my ass off chasing it up and down the real estate, Gut, quarter, and pack out the...
The Mrs. and I used to plant a couple hundred conservation grade trees each spring, but in a wildlife planting out in the bush where we weren't able to protect the trees it became VERY apparent which saplings the deer, rabbits, and rodents really liked to eat. ANY and I do mean ANY fruit trees...
Fort KDM is under full scale assault. Snow is drifting pretty bad right now. Shoveled a path for the pooches to do their business and it took about 10 minutes to fill it back in. We are going outside to take care of chores and then it's back inside to wait this garbage out. This is shaping...
They say you're NOT supposed to shoot the messenger, but based on the title of this thread and the OP........I might make an exception. Snow is a four letter word ya snitzelplik!!!! (Grin)
All anyone really needs is one of them fancy sharpeners and a stack of credit cards. I seen it on one o' them 3am knowledgeable how to shows. Frozen ribs and fish fillets are a breeze and BOY O BOY does them sharpened credit cards do a number on them color enhanced "ripe" tomatoes or gelatin...
THAT KNIFE is used for special occasions. She guards that thing like a mama bear guards her cubs. I can't get within 3 ft of it when I'm looking for a knife to use.
I asked Mrs. KDM to pick her favorite knives and this is what she came up with. These are Wustof knives. PM me if you would like more details and I'll have Mrs. KDM reply. If she could only have two, she'd want the top one for deboning and meat work and the 4th one down for veggies and...
A load of #4 lead at 10 ft is a slug and I sure wouldn't trade 12 ga slugs already in hand for a 9mm I have to draw when looking at a dangerous critter. Only when the shotgun was empty, would the 9 would come out. In any case.........YIKES and I'm happy the guy didn't get tangled up with that...
My set of Chicago Cutlery has held up for 25 years without a hitch. I've had it since my undergrad days in college. When I married Mrs. KDM 19 years ago, she brought with her a set of Wustof cutlery and that set has held up just as well. My wife uses both of those knife sets daily and I sure...
Well let's just see what the good book has to say on the subject of "What's Next" shall we.....
This from 2nd Timothy chapter 3 verses 1-7.
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers...
Knowing and being able to put a stop to it are two different things. I knew the neighbor kids were running over my trees with their snowmobiles, but couldn't do a damn thing about it as I wasn't there when they were there. I'm not against having one, but I question the idea that they provide...
From what I gather, there isn't much for prosecuting "package thieves" and other mischief, so I'm kind of wondering....What's the point of getting and paying for a camera when it appears to prevent very little thievery or provide any real security?? Royce the wonder pooch and his similar large...
