    Security for new home to protect hunting gear investment

    My dog beats all you guy's dogs. Mine walk out the gate a while back stood in the road (quiet mid day) and made the UPS lady stop for him and give him a biscuit. My dog held up the UPS driver! That's what they get for bribing dogs! He now walks into the truck when she goes to the back for packages.

    Which time savings do you prefer?

    I despise DST. All it does is make my day twice as long. If you work outside You have to wait for daylight, frost to leave the fields and so forth. So make it one or the other and we'll adjust. Prefer if they just leave it alone like it was yesterday.

Have done a ton of front and backhoe work with it this past summer. Use it to back blade snow or move dirt. If looking at...

    Other half and I went with KUIU packs this year. Game changer. So far he's packed out 2 elk and no problems.

    Heads up Guys Central Idaho

    I hope so too. See the Salmon/Challis forest took all the closures off. Just haul a chainsaw or handsaw when in the burned areas. With any kind of strong winds you will have to cut your way out. Here at the house moved some dirt around with my toe and the moisture wasn't down that much. But this...
