    Covid, a blessing in disguise?

    As i'm sitting here with my coffee waiting for my 4 year old to wake up and big game season is now about over I have a bit of time to reflect on the good outta the bad. Covid layoff, i thought it was the end of the world initially. How were we going to get by without my full pay? Now I'm...

    Tips for double grinding

    Old reliables

    I'm pretty sure all of us have done it. Retired a piece of gear to upgrade to the newest model or next greatest thing since sliced bread only to realize after going down the rabbit hole of newest and greatest that you just can't seem to stop going back to it. I'd have to say for me its my buck...
