Three days ago there were maybe a dozen fires burning in Oregon. This morning I tried to count, best estimate is 70 to 80 fires started in the last 48 to 72 hours. Some are small, standard lightning strikes that will be monitored for the time being. Others have blown up have some potential to...

88 degrees, humidity in the teens. Thunder clouds over the Eagle Cap Wilderness. So far no fire too close to us. Hope it stays that way.

Took the .375 H&H to the range this morning to work on a little load developement. In spite of a called shot with the Stabl 6.5 the group was good, two touching and the called third shot. 2503 fps. I’ll add 1/2 grain to see if I gain a little velocity. Then I fired a load of H4350, no...

So I mentioned awhile back my Swarovski NL pure 10x42 got stolen someplace between Boise and Port Elizabeth RSA. I bought those at a great deal four years ago. Kinda went into shock when I saw what they were going for now. Recently sent an old scope off to Leupold to be repaired. A 1980s vintage...

Since 1972 I’ve owned 7 ford trucks. Two were 350s the rest were either the old 100 or F150s. Always got well over 200 k on each one. My current truck is a 2021 with 120,000 miles on it. Hasn’t cost me a dime in anything other than rubber and maintenance. Three weeks ago, a week before Catherine...

Well we’ve been here 10 days or so. First two were kinda cold in the morning but otherwise it’s been pretty damn nice. Doing Another little remodel on our little house, should have that done by the end of the week. I’ve only been up to Tucson trap and skeet once but I was shooting pretty good...

Son in Law has started chemo again. He did ok on his first set of infusions and will not go back to Portland for a couple weeks. The kids insisted Catherine and I take off for a bit. So we did. I haven’t spent twenty hours behind the wheel since I retired from “law enforcement. I’m not doing it...
