    Joke is on me.. won’t be booking with American Airlines anymore

    I know its not always possible for all but I only fly if I cant drive it in 12-16 hours. Most of my road trips are 9-12 hrs drive time. I get up before 4:30 am every morning anyway so I just get up at 4 and start driving. I am where ever I am going by mid of the afternoon. If I get the urge...

    New Trucks....

    Me as well. Northwest Ohio. Years later after being out of the biz for 15 years I took a job as a Parts and service director for our family Ford store 1992-2000. I cant recall ever writing a repair order for an exhaust system during that time. The vehicles had changed that much. Different...

    New Trucks....

    Before Dad move me into mgmt I worked the lube rack. The lube guy not only did oil , filter and lube but exhaust systems and undercoating and body sealing. Messy job. I can remember handing points to mechanics over the parts counter when I worked in the parts department.

    New Trucks....

    Many people aren't old enough to remember the good old days of 10 miles a gallon and annual tune ups cleaning carbs , stuck chokes , clogged fuel filters ,leaky gaskets , am radios and no climate control. Not to mention rotted out exhaust systems on every single vehicle. Not to mention 12...

    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    Even though I get up early I generally never set an alarm clock. The only exception is if I have a little trouble falling asleep early and I need to meet someone very early for fishing. I set it as a precaution but it's been decades since an alarm has actually woke me up. I’m always up before it...

    Meat Care Equipment Priorities

    Buy the very best quality equipment you can afford. If there’s two things I don't regret stretching my Budget for its my grinder and my knives. Stuffers are great but save up until you can afford a 15lb’r or bigger. My first stuffer was a 5 lb’r. It worked great but it was more if a pain...

    Back issues field dressing.

    I used to hunt in an eastern federal forest its a strictly walk in drag out sort of place. It was hilly I had the same problem with my back. I would about have to lay down beside the deer to field dress it. I always found a place to field dress where I could lay the deer uphill. Once I even...

    Remington 788 7mm-08 scope recommendations

    You don't mention your use for the rifle or your level of magnification but I use VX3 variants 2.5-8x36 on my shorter or carbine rifles. Been considering a Swaro Z3 3-9x36 as another choice for a small scope.

    MEAT your maker products

    I’m a LEM guy myself. I have a grinder, two stuffers and vac packer all from LEM. Had them all for a while. No issues with anything from LEM. They have stood the test of time for me. That said MEAT products are getting some dang good reviews and have darn good prices. If I wasn't so pleased...
