I hunted 3rd rifle an went from dry and warm with t-shirts to end of week getting pushed off the mountain by 30in snow storm. Be prepared for anything. Also northern Salida area was closed due to fire. Might still be shut down this year I would think. Moderate pressure on county roads but since...
Can't picture you in a flat brim more like:
Next Fresh Tracks, You an Marcus hanging out of the Raptor, fly into the screen sideways, dirt flippn, dust rippn. "Just tha good ol' boys, never meanin no harm"...

Getting ready to fab a front hitch for my new Ram. I think making the bumpers or hitch parts stout is the easy part. Man these truck frames are thin. The new body Ram front three feet is like heavy exhaust pipes, and hoping to use a 12k lbs winch.
I finally gave it a try on my first longrange gun about two years ago now. It turned out nice. The stock was already pillar bed so I had head start. The groups tightened a half moa between bedding the stock and bedding optic rail to action. I used Devcon Stainless Steel epoxy, green turtle wax...
Started out landscaping, then to fiber optics environmental testing at Corning(boring), to car audio fab in Bakersfield(fun), to instrumentation in a chem plant back in PA (yuk), and now a high/low voltage substation guy for PPL(lots of o.t.⛈). 14 years already.

I'm frugal too, but hate to have complications to work on during a hunt instead of be out hunting. So nice to have less miles. Got a plain hemi Tradesman with 12k miles for $28k already had...

Just shows your commitment. Cuz one trip through the screaching trees give it character. My rusted out 05 Ram which lost a starter 2hrs up a blm rd got replaced this year. Now I get ragged for the ugly cap on a new truck. Which could use a lift like yours. What for kit did you go with?
5G, AI, quantum computing, and technology that will use them or make them happen. Auto industry make shake up with self driving pods an super highways.
Check out Glen Beck Joe Brown interview on youtude. It was at least entertaining. I studied at PennState nanofab for a bit an alot of the...
This thread has got alot of people thinking. Maybe politics is just one of the problems but stems from our own countries needs for MORE all the time.
Working in the Utility Industry there's always talk of keeping up with change an decline of load vs dollars for maintenance. Technologies soon...
First few days on my first elk trip have been a blast. Man you Coloradians have it good out here. Our camp isn't to bad either. Power an a hot shower. Except the little pump froze up today.
