Our friend Dave Taylor forwarded a review of the White River Argali Carbon. I have a ton of respect for Dave’s opinion regarding his likes and dislikes of all things that cut. In more then one case he’s drug me down the path of spending money on knives I didn’t need. After the fact, I…
Leaving 2020 Behind!
I can’t remember being so anxious to put a year behind me and move on to the next. Thank God we’re leaving 2020 behind. For Good. I hope! There were a lot of good memories from the past year and a whole lot of disappointments. 2020 started off with a bang. Rising stock market, unemployment…
Christmas Wish List ~ 1955
In my boxes of memorabilia, I came across some items from my Christmas Wish List ~ 1955. I didn’t find lists wishing for world peace, or the end to world hunger. Nope, I found stuff any naïve 7 year old would have been thrilled with…. in 1955. Probably why I am who I am! Growing…

A bit of nostalgia…
With everything locked down, I’ve tended to let my mind wander from time to time. You know, you might start putting dishes in the dishwasher and start to wonder who invented the dishwasher (Josephine Cochrane, 1886). Which got me to wondering how old Joe Cocker was when he died (70). Pretty soon my wife is…
Deer Seasons over and the Ladies Reported In
11 Point Minnesota Whitetail, nice job!
Give Thanks. There’s alot of good out there!!
Without a doubt, this has been one of the most tumultuous years on record for most of us. It seems like every time we thought we might be making headway against a never ending current of bad news, another gust moved us backwards. If you aren’t careful, it’s pretty easy to forget we’re coming up…
