I've wondered about the quality of Springfield 1911s. Nice to hear a good report on one.

I hope this won't become the new norm. I can't think of a single reason I would want to go beyond standard cartridge pressures for anything except special purposes. If I were to guess I doubt these will replace the current cartridge line up at a very fast rate, they will just add to the options...

Well some inclement weather rolled into southern Arkansas, nothing too extreme but enough to be keeping people off the roads. In addition my mom and dad both got sick with something, so my mom's sugery has gotten postponed until wthe weather clears up and they have recovered from whatever they...

That came out nice!

Every morning I say a prayer for your son in law and all the family involved. 🙏

I really like the look of Ruger American rifles, I would probably want one, but I have heard so many bad things about their magazine quality. Some of them you can just buy other brand magazines if they are AR or AI pattern, but I think the long action mags are all Ruger specific.

I think every Case knife needs one of those.

I love a DIY job that turns out nicely. Great work. (y)

I felt a little better hearing they had the laparoscopic option for this surgery. My mom was still slow to recover from the gallbladder surgery doing lapraroscopic because of other health problems, but it was probably much better than if it had been without.

Thank you all for the support. My mom came back yesterday with the news that she has her surgery scheduled for 2 weeks from now. God has blessed us with the first part, getting the surgery done as soon as possible, so we are very thankful for that. The doctors seem to have taken the situation as...

2025 was a rough year for my family, and 2026 is promising to be rough too so far. My mom has had numerous health problems for years of various different natures, but one of them has gotten so bad she will probably be looking at surgery in short order. This will be the second surgery for her in...

You know, I like that idea. Not as fun, but if I could find my package of thicker zip ties, they probably would have fixed the problem in all of a few seconds. Makes me wonder if some proper paracord tying could have done the trick too. Rope is not my strong suit, but I'm getting better with it.

I should probably get some bailing wire with the rate that things need fixing around here, ha ha! The last thing I fixed was ironically a mini trailer also towed by our mower that my dad decided to use as a work bench while he was using a saw. Well, it sawed both what he was sawing and the...

I will probably never be a good bushcrafter, but every once in awhile you find use for your hobbies in real life despite your incompetencies! My brother was picking up leaves with our leaf sweeper that we pull with the lawn mower yesterday, but today he told me he had to stop because a large...

Merry Christmas! Wasn't sure if my family would be celebrating on schedule but it happened on the day after all!
