You can make bread in a dutch oven. Along with a lot of other things.

I did a lift on the Gewehr 98 front sight, just welded a tab to it and filed it correct. The '08 is too nice for that kind of treatment.

Art, I second everything you say about the show. I loved it and my wife loved it even more. Boyd Crowder is an amazingly well-drawn character, especially for a bad guy.

Another Elmore Leonard...

This is an article from the 4/15 issue of New Yorker. The author spent enough time embedded with Ukrainian front line units that he seems to get it. You read between the lines, it looks bad for...

Elmore died while the first season was shooting. I think the producers found writers who could take up where he left off. Yeah, the characters are great! Mags is terrifying!

That vertical stringing is kinda typical of rifles with long barrels, long stocks and barrel bands. Once the barrel gets up to operating temp, the groups tighten up. IMHO

I've had this rifle about 30 years. It is nowhere near pristine but has a good barrel, most of its bluing and matching numbers. Compared to what is out there on the market today it is a cream puff. ...

My brother and I take the black powder guns to the range in Sandpoint ID when it is open. It is always a kick to turn loose a cloud of BP smoke on the young guys shooting their ARs. The Buffington...

Just sayin - my first Krag was an 1895 carbine that had swivels instead of the lanyard ring - near as I can tell they were either an arsenal or field modification, probably for use by artillery or...

That is a good hunting rifle there - and a Douglas barrel! What is the twist on it? Will it stabilize the long 220 gr RN bullet? (That you can hardly get anymore?). What you show there and sling...

All kinds of birds are way down from when I was a kid. Even up in the mountains, grouse are way down. I remember growing up about a half hour before sunrise the birdsong would start, hundreds of...

They are not good for wildlife! The berries are sweet - I used to eat them when I was a kid - but they are death on deer, elk, moose, etc. From Idaho Fish and Game:

Thanks for that, Art!

I can get mine back from the pawnshop any time, long as I pay the "interest."

Mesa, AZ! A lot of people don't realize what a danger flooding is in the desert.

If you treat a dog badly enough, you can make it mean and dangerous. Any dog, really. That said, a mean, dangerous pit bull, rottweiler, mastiff, etc. is more dangerous than a bad Pomeranian.

Santa Baby is kind of nice, and fun to play with its flatted blue notes. It was a hit for Eartha Kitt way back when, 1953? It is one of the band's Xmas holiday parade tunes, so I've played it a...

Al is retiring? Now I REALLY feel old.

Yeah! Happy birthday, all day and into the holidays. Enjoy it! liife is sweet!

They used to call those "Beecher's bibles."

My own favorite is probably Lady Day - Billie Holiday. There were some others ... my own mother, for one. She could SING! Then there is Doris Day (I'm not kidding, she was pretty good) and Peggy...

We bought my wife's 2007 Prius new. It has close to 180,000 miles on it. Batteries are still good, hard to tell though. The 2nd gen Prius has been very reliable in taxi service. Bi8ggest problem...

I did a search on the title of the inscription - "Yininmadyemi" and the memorial came right up. It was designed by Tony Albert, an Aboriginal artist whose grandfather, Eddie Albert, served in Africa...

You could say the same about buying a diesel-powered vehicle used. As a snipe in the USCG I learned a lot about diesels, and especially that you have GOT to keep up on maintenance and that means by...

Texas has a lot of plants that make or handle explosive chemicals and fuels. The state does not invest heavily in workplace safety/environmental inspections and enforcement. Every couple years...
