What made this noise?
Maybe... I heard one of these making this "monkey call" about a week ago. We recorded it and took a while of searching to find and example of what owl it is and confirm it was the owl making the noise.- Jack Ryan

How many rounds do you load at a time?
I do load just a few when I'm starting up, like others have said. I will probably load one and step out the door to shoot it across the chrony and in to a stump that grew there for the purpose. I'll make adjustments until I get what I want. Usually trying to match a velocity of something I've...- Jack Ryan

How many rounds do you load at a time?
Once I start, I usually load 'em all. Everything I can until I run out of one component or another. Might be a couple hundred 45-70 or a couple thousand 45 acp.- Jack Ryan

2022 spring turkey
Yep and if nothing happens this time I am never making that call again. All it does so far is rob me of the use of the public land CLOSEST to me.- Jack Ryan

2022 spring turkey
I've got poachers baiting them in two directions from my house. So I live surrounded by federal land and I'll probably have to get up and DRIVE to hunt.- Jack Ryan

2022 Fat-Off
I got up to about 260 about 2008 or so. The older a guy gets the more ya got to watch things like blood sugar. Just getting dedicated to that test every day is a motivator. Something about getting tossed in to my grave a piece at a time, some times it is a motivator, other times I wanna just...- Jack Ryan

This is an "old" cabin I been working on and restoring for my daughter to live in. Been at it about a year now off and on. "Old" is only about 50 years in years but down to standing in the dirt and looking up at the sky INSIDE before we started ADDING instead of tearing out. Had to jack up the...- Jack Ryan

This is a grist mill at Trinity Springs near me. It WAS on Indian Creek and this is as it WAS. Only thing left now is what was built out of concrete. The creek washed out the end of the dam and goes around the dam now.- Jack Ryan

We have a few operable grist mills here but they are mostly in state run facility that think they can balance the budget with the next ticket sale. I do like to look for old unrestored (free) mill sites along the rivers and in the forest. Many early farmers had a mill set up for grinding grain...- Jack Ryan

handgun/safety?? Am I overthinking this?
Gun snaps, other floppy holster parts, un-tucked pieces of shirt tails, fingers. People get excited, practice on the range getting it out fast and they are in perfect conditions. Then they start to build habit of PUTTING IT AWAY FAST and pretty soon Glock leg happens. Regardless of the style... -

Most of the "old stuff" around here has all rotted down to the ground or the government tore it down deliberately and dozed it all in to a hole when they got possession of the ground. This was still left from a grist mill / tourist camp ground in the 1920, and still occupied up to about 1975...- Jack Ryan

Forest Service Issues ‘E-Bike’ Guidance
If bikes with electric motors on them DIDN'T make any or not much difference, people wouldn't care if they could use them or not. That is just a fact. It is motorized.- Jack Ryan
