"Free at last, Free at last, Thank God almighty we are free at last"
Today I feel like I truly understand what MLK meant by those words and I truly feel free for the first time in 8 long years. I was one of the ones targeted by the IRS and have felt a very real reason to keep my comments...
If you have not done so, think about draining your lawn pump, it is colder outside than advertised, right now, due to the hard wind drawing heat out of anything above ground. Thought, no problem last night, then looked at the fountian in the walkway to the dock, a few minutes ago, top bowl is...
Thought about this and I do like this as a suggestion for Mr Trump:
Recall a couple of years ago that Obama decided to diversify neighborhoods and sent bus loads of snap card and food stamp recipients as well as illegals to neighborhoods all across the US. Thousands showed up in Las Vegas for...
In 22 years I have had multiple brass door openers on my double door entry way. The coatings peel and the brass discolors. So 7 years ago I went to the "lifetime guaranteed" titanium coated door openers, first set lasted about two years, now the warranty replacement set is going to hell and the...

Met Jimtom to look at an item he had for sale, we had a good meeting, the item and price was exactly as described and changed owners. Good guy to do business with.

My neighbor at the farm dropped by Sunday morning to warn me that he has found wild hog sign out behind his house on his farm. His place is across the dirt road from my farm. Said he is going to wait until it gets cold or cooler at least then start putting them away, processed as sausage. I am...
The kids filed into class Monday morning. They were all very excited. Their weekend assignment was to sell something, then give a talk on salesmanship.
Little Sally led off. "I sold Girl Scout cookies and I made $30" she said proudly. "My sales approach was to appeal to the customer's civil...
Staff Sgt. David Jonathan Thatcher died Wednesday in a Missoula, Montana. That leaves Col Cole as the last survivor of the Doolittle Raiders. They practiced their take offs and flights at Eglin and Gen Doolittle wrote the plans for the mission out on a table cloth in the old Bacon's By The Sea...
Tuns out Meat Loaf has arrhythmia and what you see in the clip is what happens when the heart drops out of sinus rhythm and starts to flutter (muscle spasms), the heart stops pumping a large volume of blood, but still is trying to pump, so produces a small amount of blood. This can cause the...
Today the US Solicitor General resigned and your Attorney General announced his replacement: "Gershengorn previously served as special assistant and counsel to the deputy attorney general under Attorney General Janet Reno"
So, perhaps another Ruby Ridge or a Waco is now in your future. I...
Once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away and a long time ago, as I was nearing the end of an enlistment, I was offered $50K to go shoot Skinnies in President Patrice Lumumba's little bit of hell called the Congo. At the time I was making about $3K a year so the idea was very tempting. However...
Today the NRA endorsed Trump.

I myself never liked kids in war. Different cultures look at it differently and kids have been fighting wars for centuries in this part of the world, especially if they are the oldest male, it is expected as it is their duty. However this is what happens when you have a bunch of do-gooders with...
This is an article I wrote for Perfect Union a couple of years ago.
Mini 14 Mystery
Getting the Mini-14 to Shoot
Probably one of the most exasperating guns I have ever run across is the little Ruger military rifle. Yes, the Mini-14 is a military rifle….. Bill introduced the gun as a...
While at Tulsa in April, SOTA Arms was set up one row over from us. Was watching them and listening to what I could hear. Finally walked over, bought 3 complete uppers, with BCGS, from them, two for $310 each and one for $100. Sold the $100 for $300, sold the second $310 to buddy for cost and we...
I got in and assembled my 6 ton A frame press, plus the JSTactical die set to form the domed baffles. It is not difficult when you figure out how to fit the die with the un-formed plugs into the press under the jack. The thing I like about the die set is that it includes a sizing tube with it so...
One of the more difficult things to find around here is a good blue job I tried this several times and had problems every time. This is a system that anyone can do, that really works and requires a small area in your shop. This Winchester barrel and its parts was done with just two passes in the...
