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...

Son in Law and daughter just returned from Boise. SIL needed more imaging to determine the extent of the cancer. The radiologist report essentially says surgery is the only chance he’s got. Essentially the docs will “gut him like a fish” hope to get enough of the cancer to prolong “salvage” his...
Sending off my ruger 257 roberts for a new barrel, I never should have bought a bore scope. Anyway going to have PAC NOR make me a 257 AI. Looking at 6 months out. Want to be able to shoot the heavier monos perhaps. Thinking on a 1/8.5 instead of the standard 1/10. What say you all?
Earlier this year the Trump Administration cancelled a program that paid small farmers for fresh produce supplied to schools in their area. Great program guaranteeing a market for small farmers and gives the kids fresh spinach opposed to that canned stuff from some where else. My daughter is...

It seems every year, sometime between mid September and mid October, we get the first big Pacific Storm rolling in. Oregon goes from dry as a popcorn fart to rainforest wet over night.
For us on the dry side of the cascades, geographically identified as high desert, we get rain as well and snow...
I am divesting myself of a few guns, thought I might go ahead and give my buddies a chance at the scopes. Any way looking for $800.00 a piece U.S. One of the scopes has a duplex cross hair the other a wind plex.
I have a box, (25)Nosler 8mm Remington brass new and shinny. Also have 28 New Remington cases, a few have some tarnish on them from hanging around so long.
Send me 10 bucks for shipping and they are yours.
