    Painting - "Leaving Shelter" - Les C. Kouba

    Our local Goodwill lists certain items online so if the art is identified as having some value it will be reviewed and priced accordingly. So, maybe pennies, maybe a couple of Benjamins.

    Pillow help

    Landed on head from several feet up as a tween. Neck is messed up. I modified the pillow I use at home and cut to be just a bit more than what my head touches as sleep on my back. I also use an air-activated disposable hand-warmer on my neck that goes into a pocket I added to my neck gaiter. I...

    I want to make sure I’m legal

    Are you positive that you are not merely on a short-term work assignment? People reverse moves all the time to return after a month or two. Workers also take on work assignments which require them to be away for weeks or months.

    Flood at Burning Man

    When you could arrange to have your pre-built campsite tricked out then parachute in to the event killed any edge left at BM. Prior to this, there was minimal disparity between attendees on display within BM. Get high, get laid, philosophize with folks about change needed in the world which you...

    Flood at Burning Man

    As I observed through blurry eyes one night as closing time beckoned at a watering hole while on the road, I would have to be a lot drunker to go to bed with the last remaining woman at the bar but in doing so I would be too drunk to do anything. So, yes, alcohol is a social lubricant though at...

    Was my experience normal...or did I somehow F&#K up?

    Also, time of day when glass is key. Sure, a coyote might flush a buck or two out in mid-day but I have seen dozens of pronghorn from a hill in a flat area as glassed then about 90 minutes after first light watch pod after pod walk into sage and, poof, a dozen pronghorn are gone from sight in...

    One Eyed Game Warden?

    Using a crossbow over in Africa next spring. Over water. Notice, I said using. Not hunting. I know what I've got here so don't try to educate me.

    Who's in?

    Not 100% coverage for a variety of reasons. Your dose could be compromised so inert. The shot is developed based on some guessing as to what flu strains will be around months later. You can look at Asia or Australia but you can’t put every flu strain past and present in one shot. And, takes...

    Fire Season is Upon Us

    Tribalism is fine and dandy right up until the tribe needs help. Must give pause now when so many residents were so excited to pile on when there was a discussion about how nonresidents can pound sand when it comes to big game tag allocation then fires break out in the backyard. I suppose...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    College costs are super-charged vs. inflationary increases. Why? Because any kid with half a brain can get $10,000s of loan money per year that is guaranteed by the student and can't be discharged by bankruptcy. Does not matter if the 18 year-old things studying Italian Poetry for four years...

    Bonds vs. mutual funds/ETFs that hold bonds

    Match your risk horizon to when you need the cash from the sale of that investment. If don't need the investment to be converted into cash for 7 or more years then can invest today in a stock ETF which is a big bucket of stocks mimicking the whole stock market (VTI, for example has low cost to...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    Will retire a couple of months before turn 63 which is early next year. As for timing of retirement, I could have retired comfortably a few years ago with zero change in our monthly budget though I calculated back then that it would cost us $200K to bridge to Medicare. I have now worked a bit...

    Hyphenated Last Names

    My aunt's child married her sister's (my other aunt's) child. These are both sisters of my mother. The kids grew up 3 houses apart with different last names though at times as toddlers they used to take baths together. There were sleepovers. Vacations sharing beds as grade schoolers. Pictures...

    Hyphenated Last Names

    Wife hyphenated her married name. Payroll system truncated the last few digits of her name as too many letters resulted to fit in the old fixed-length, pre-defined database world. Our sons have my last name. No daughters. My daughter-in-law stayed with just her maiden name as is a professional...

    School me up on buying a 4 to 6 ton excavator and mulching head

    I was driving tractors at 10 on slopes and using chain saws by 12. Operated riding lawnmowers around kindergarten age. Hunted with shotguns alone at 9. Maybe was lucky to come out of that alive and no injuries. I was coachable on safety issues so if you told me once that was enough. I was a good...

    Bison Hunt, UT

    If are a member of Huntin’ Fool then you can request a list of prior members who had contacted them when they drew the same tag. Is worth a year’s subscription to some hunters that are holding a hard-to-draw tag. I do find is easier to gather intel on tags which prior tag holders are unlikely to...

    Dead elk around the snowy mountains in Montana

    If those people with weapons are unethical, I would not consider them hunters any more than poachers resemble hunters. There needs to be a different term so does not sully the good name of people that try to follow the regulations. You know, anyone that is not competent with a weapon at a...

    Pictures of Horses Packing Out Antlers - Got Any?

    Got any pictures of a pack string hauling out antlers? Seems has become tougher to find packing services to haul out an elk. Perhaps UTVs on ranches have reduced the need for as many horses out West. Maybe handling pack stock is a young man’s game in an aging industry. Having solo packed out...
