    Meopta vs Swarovski

    I think it's a toss-up. I have the Meopta and hunting buddy has the Swaro and neither of us can really see a discernible difference. I think it just comes down to personal preference and ergonomics, and frankly, budget. Swaro I think is lighter and maybe a bit more "user-friendly," but at a...

    Hot Tub?

    Yikes, 106? That's cookin'! We have one and in winter I like it set at 101, maybe 102 when it's really cold out. I keep it around 98 or so (body temp) in the summer, it's refreshing when outside temps and humidity are really high. To each, his own, I guess!

    Pre-Post retirement Budgeting

    I get it, I know it will be hard for me. It totally goes against my grain and lifestyle thinking. Have to force myself to loosen up. It's not like my wife and I have been/are stingy; we helped put two daughters through college and graduate schools, paid for their weddings, give 10-12% of our...

    Pre-Post retirement Budgeting

    I will retire at the end of August this year; most recently, 15 years of fed government (AF civilian) preceded by 20 years in private sector. Wife of 35 years and I have always lived WAY below our means; I was blessed to be raised in a frugal household and it caught on with me. Wife didn't...

    SLC 15x56 vs Meopta Meostar 15x56 vs EL 12x50

    The VAST majority of the research and opinions I've read say the Swaro is the best 15x and the Meopta a very close second, if not an equivalent. My experience comparing my Meopta with buddy's Swaro proves that out, at least to my eyes. I'd think the Meopta would be better than the Zeiss and...

    Aspens in SW CO Around October 1?

    Hey guys. Wife and I might be making a trip out to southwest Colorado around the first of October. Roughly around Gunnison down to San Juan NF. Will aspens in those areas still be holding their leaves? Scenery should be real pretty still? Thanks in advance.

    SLC 15x56 vs Meopta Meostar 15x56 vs EL 12x50

    I was just cruising through the threads and saw someone had replied to this one and it reminded me that I'd started this post 14 months ago. Figured I'd post again about what I ended up doing. Turns out I bought a really nice, used set of 12x50 ELs from the classifieds here last summer. I...

    Outdoorsy Career Path for Civil/Structural Engineer

    I'm similar to you; I work for Air Force Civil Engineering, doing environmental management work. I'm in natural resources management, a non-supervisory GS-13 as are all of my colleagues. Regarding Mojave's comment about USACE being better place to work than USAF as a civilian --I would say...

    Charleston, SC—things to do & see?

    My wife and I went back to visit last May and did a couple things we hadn't before. One that we really liked was visiting the Magnolia Cemetery. You can drive (we did) or walk through much of it, and it has some beautiful, fascinating areas and grave markers from a lot of famous people from a...
