    Hot weather pants - OR Ferrosi vs FL Trace vs Kuiu Tiburon

    I haven't tried the Tiburons because Kuiu pants don't fit me. They don't fit me because they don't have odd number waist sizes and inseams shorter than 31". Outdoor Research does. That said, I do have the Tiburon Snap shirts and like them a lot. The Ferrosi pants are great. I have 2 pairs...

    Favorite Boot?

    Do you think you need Goretex in South Texas? I've hunted down there. The Lowa Camino leather lined might be my favorite boots. I have a pair of Tibet GTX. I used them for a hunt in AZ, and they were perfect for that, but they are really too much boot for anything I do regularly. I also...

    How do you feed your dog?

    In this pic, I can see the outline of a couple ribs. If he was standing at ease instead of on point, you would not be able to see them. That is about where i try to keep them. Really it is just an excuse to post a pic of my dog.

    How do you feed your dog?

    Can you see his ribs? If not, the dog isn't too thin. I know some guys who keep their bird dogs, seems like especially pointers, on the ribby side.

    Bulk spices

    Kalustyan's has been in business forever. You can get Turkish or Iranian pistachios from them, as well as spices. Penzey's has good stuff, too. Not sure how big of a bulk you are looking for. https://foodsofnations.com/ https://www.penzeys.com/

    Weed Whackers

    I have a Snapper 82v mower and weed whacker. The whacker will eat some pretty rough stuff. I think they are owned by Briggs and Stratton because the batteries are Briggs and Stratton branded. I had a battery go bad, and I contacted Briggs & Stratton, and they sent me a replacement.

    New Trucks....

    Like the auto off on my F150? Heavy duty starter, HD battery, HD alternator, HD fly wheel, and a button on the dash to turn it off? No telling how much all that HD crap costs, how much it costs just to transport the heavier parts, and we certainly won't mention the carbon footprint of all that...

    WTS Outdoor Research Ferrosi Pants 34

    These are my favorite summer pants. Love them. These are too big for me, though.

    South Africa is accusing Israel of Genocide.

    Papua New Guinea might be worth a shot. You might have to beat off the cannibals.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Can you jump the bullet any further and still have the boattail in the case neck? If so, try a seating depth test at whatever load has shot the best so far and see if the groups tighten any. If so, use the new seating depth and increase powder until you see pressure and see what happens.

    Why did they use the term bonus to refer to this compensation?

    Kill your dog and your political career at the same time

    I didn't say he was a man of unassailabe character and a Saint. I just meant that he led a life and a nation during historic times, enough so that I would be interested in a book about him. I would read a book about Hitler and Mussolini, too. She isn't interesting to me. That may change in...

    Kill your dog and your political career at the same time

    The fact that she thinks her life is worth writing a book about, or that we should somehow be interested in reading it, bothers me more than this. Seriously, she is the governor of South Dakota, not Winston Churchill. I'd rather watch a Lifetime movie than read her book.

    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    I have several Tibors and Abels. I do not feel a need to upgrade. They have landed a lot of salty fish. I like the drag on both of them. Very smooth. I just looked at the Abel website. It doesn't look like they make the Super Series anymore, which is what I have. It also looks like they...
