    Verify that you hunt

    I'm a lousy big game hunter, but a half decent dove hunter. I limited out 2 days in a row on public last year.

    Automotive question?

    I bought a used truck last summer that had one tire that went bad on me, it wasn't rough until you hit about 40mph the back end would start hopping and then smooth out again after 60. Like others have said I'd check u-joints on the drive line. I'd also check ball joints, steering rods and...

    January Inflation

    That's my fear, so in the end what's the benefit of tariffs?

    January Inflation

    Overall tariffs make me uncomfortable. I understand he used it as leverage to make the weaker countries back down, but if some of the bigger ones call his bluff I only see it hurting us as consumers. I have a small welding business so the steel tariffs definitely have an impact and I'm already...

    What are you currently reading?

    I'm halfway through this one and enjoying it so far. What's interesting is it's written by Pat Garrett who eventually killed him, but his writing of all the stories about Billy shows more admiration and respect for him than animosity towards him. What's further interesting is the movie Chisum...

    Hogue Knives

    I know I'm resurrecting an old topic but wondering if you ended up getting any hogue knives and how you or anyone else like them. I recently came across them myself and I'm genuinely interested.

    Unpopular Opinion on Brisket

    After watching countless YouTube videos and reading bbq blogs the last few years I've smoked a handful of Briskets (all prime from costco) and I dont know what all the fuss is about. It's never been inedible but people always act blown away by brisket and I've yet to have one to really make...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Most auto lenses are adjustable (some aren't) if it is, turn it down a shade. Since you're mig welding, "push" your puddle instead of dragging it, if you arent already, the gun blocks your view of where youre going. As sytes said there's a lot of good stuff on YouTube. I highly recommend the...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    What shade lens is your welding hood? Were you wearing shaded glasses underneath? Turn your head more sideways down the line you're welding to try and get a better view. What type of welding are you running? If you're just starting out, use a piece of soap stone and a square and scribe a line...

    Life insurance question

    Like said above, a term life policy has way more bang for the buck if you have a family that relies on your income. I got a $500k 30 year term life policy at age 30 a few years ago and it costs $315/year.

    My public land limit with my old single shot this year. Had so much fun I went out and limited out the following day again.

    Between breakdowns, unpredictable markets and politics, it's not for the faint of heart.

    Harvest has been in full swing the the last two months. Lots of broken equipment to repair this time of year.

    What do you call hot?

    That first "hot" day of the year in June above 90 is usually tough, then when you deal with 100-115 all summer 95 is a nice "break". I've been welding for about 12 years, mostly outside so summers are always my least favorite time of year. I'm just glad we don't get much humidity in central CA.

    Low/mid grade over under

    To be fair that cheap semi auto took 20 years of abuse before it broke on me but I agree I don't want to spend money on something "disposable".

    Meat slicer recommendations

    My cousin borrowed a big commercial one from a local community service organization that does some big bbqs in our town. We used it on a bunch of tri tips we smoked for Christmas one year, it totally blew away any happy home owner slicer us average folks would ever buy.
