    Wyoming all you can kill

    I frequently change stations as I get so tired to Daryl Lies and his ranting all listed above. Sometimes I wait until I hear a comment about private property rights. 3 minutes is the quickest I've changed the station. I have no problem with landowner rights, but that does not translate to them...

    Residential Snowblowers

    I have a Husqvarna 28” with plenty of power and no issues in the 4-5 years I’ve had it. At the same time it’s most likely the last one I’ll buy. In my 70’s and there are people in my town who will clean the driveway for $20. Hardly pays to do my own.

    When would you ever need 700HP

    Realistically I find it hard to believe that most of us involved in the outdoors haven't been in the same boat and did the same thing at some point in our adventures. Reminded me of the time I got myself into a slush pocket on Lake Irvine by Church's Ferry. Didn't dare let up on the gas as I...

    Garage interior upgrade

    Beautiful, but where is the room for your truck and decoys? Great man-cave. I assume there is a big TV somewhere.

    Boarding ladder oprions?

    Years ago, just about everyone who had a ski boat used a portable ladder that hooked over the side of the boat with pegs that held it away a little from the boat. Supposed to keep the ladder from tilting under the boat and vertical with the side. Worked OK as I remember but I was crawling in...

    Garage interior upgrade

    Have a friend who used the metal, but only about 3-4 ft up the wall. Works very well for dings that seem to occur in a garage setting yet doesn't have the echo. And looks very finished. Then stained the floor with an epoxy type of finish that looks much like marble. He finished the garage for...

    Deck ?? Stain or Paint

    Use a good quality stain and don't think it's going to last forever. My thoughts are lifespan is no more than 5 years and sooner to keep looking fresh. 2-3 years is probably the best. Next time for me I'm going to replace all the wooden spindles. God I hate staining those. Use a metal spindle...

    Grocery trip with da wife...

    Many moons ago I leased a car, wife usually drives the car. Thought it sounded like a good deal. Lease was up and I had nothing to trade. Was planning on paying it off quicker and I was young and didn't realize what paying off a loan was really like. As mentioned earlier, leases are OK if you...

    Grocery trip with da wife...

    I'm like some of you. It hasn't really hit me as I'm retired and not broke, Do worry about some younger and raising a family with these costs. Remember when gas hit $0.50 a gallon and we wondered how would we survive. But we did and I'm pretty sure many will survive this one. Just going to be...

    Where are the youth deer pics?

    LOL, doesn't bother me at all. Have tagged a few deer my kids shot when they were beginning. Hunted with a group, back when groups were common, and the rule was "no deer shot by adults were to be tagged by anyone other than the shooter." I know we weren't following the letter of the law but kids...

    Where are the youth deer pics?

    Not against the youth season at all. But do have some concerns. When youth are out with a very small group of hunters I think they are missing the fun part of the hunt. Bunch or friends sitting around after the hunt telling lies and kidding each other about the misses (with the gun, not the...

    never say elk again

    Closest I have been is <15yds with a bull bugling and snot running out his nose, looking for a cow to breed. Me trying not to think that I am the cow he thinks is there also looking for a mate. Yes it does bring a chill down the spine. I think a bugling elk is one of the most thrilling calls in...

    Pulling tubes

    After a while the fun will wear off on you and the kids will ride forever. Make sure you have someone trained to take over the boat driving.

    Dangerous Sheep Dog

    Knew a farmer/rancher a few years ago who raised both cattle and elk and every spring the coyotes would be a problem. Got himself a couple Japanese Akitas. End of the coyote problem. Beautiful dogs and very friendly with people but not coyotes.

    Small town cops...

    Exactly, I had a young punk pull a gun on me in a parking lot about midnight when I was in college. To this day I THINK it was fake but also to this day, "I'm not sure it was." Wasn't willing to take a chance unless I was absolutely sure. I'm guessing it's illegal to use a pretend gun to...

    Small town cops...

    From the newscast I saw it sounded like it was mostly a pay issue. Add in some working conditions and it's easier to say "I quit" I'd guess. I'm retired so I don't know what it's like to work at some jobs these days. I do go back into the school occasionally to help out and I don't have any...

    Thoughts on dent scratch

    Wife got a little to close to the garage door this summer. Less damage than this end gate it appears from the picture. $2400 estimate to fix. Dealt with the repair shop down to $1700 and no insurance involved. With a $1000 deductible it seemed to make sense to me to just pay the extra $700 and...

    Cordless lawn tools

    I have EGO trimmer and leaf blower Also battery powered Chain Saw by Stihl as well as a leaf blower of the same make. Like them both and can't recommend one over the other. Really like the battery operated over my old gas powered. The battery operated tools start every time without pulling a...
