Haircuts, back to the basics

Posted on August 10, 2020August 10, 2020 by Gholmes2

I was sitting on the deck a couple of days ago enjoying a cup of coffee and a cigar while getting my haircut. Yup, my wife cuts my hair and we both get to enjoy the great outdoors. In this modern day of social distancing, we’ve all modified our lives. Letting my wife cut my…

No Shooting today

Posted on July 31, 2020July 31, 2020 by Gholmes2

Big disappointment, no shooting today. We had plans for a little more training this afternoon but it was cancelled due to illness. Our instructor and his family took ill and we’re all hoping its not the dreaded virus! This has gotten to be a major source of entertainment in our household. Most days either include…

Winds of Change are upon…me

Posted on July 27, 2020July 27, 2020 by Gholmes2

I have to admit, the winds of change are truly blowing. It’s been a long time since I’ve been anywhere near what you’d call ‘active’ when it comes to keeping up the blog. Over the years it went from being called the GEC Blog to the TSA Blog where I tried to focus primarily on…

Have a Wonderful 4th Of July!

Posted on July 4, 2020July 4, 2020 by Gholmes2

I originally sat down to the computer a couple of days ago and wondered how in the world I could wish everyone a wonderful 4th of July with all of the insanity going on around us. With anarchists, anti-government, anti-American and just plain haters attacking everything our country stands for. They vilify the folks in…

Shooting, Knives, Guys and Gals

Posted on May 28, 2020May 28, 2020 by Gholmes2

I had a great experience a couple of weeks ago that involved shooting, knives, guys and gals. With those components (in the right environment), you’re bound to have a good time and learn something. It started out when I got my wife interested in doing a little more pistol shooting which led to us signing…

Memorial Day Salute

Posted on May 25, 2020May 26, 2020 by Gholmes2

We owe the fallen warriors more then ever this Memorial Day. The ultimate sacrifices made by these fallen soldiers should be remembered and honored as we have never had the rights they died protecting under more serious attack. Sometimes its easy to take their deaths as simply ‘casualties of war’. Particularly if they aren’t friends…

Adler Canoe Ax is GREAT!

Posted on May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 by Gholmes2

I received an order of the recently released Adler Canoe Ax and actually had a chance to try one out. Right up front I have to tell you it’s a great ax for the outdoorsman or even around home. Let me tell you a little bit about it. Ever since I read the release of…

Coffee, Knives & Memories

Posted on May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 by Gholmes2

I was talking to my sister a few days ago and she reminded me that our dad had passed away just 5 years ago. “Just 5 years ago” really doesn’t seem possible. Dad was born in 1917 and lived to the lively age of 98. He was truly a great guy and a lot of…

Chinese Knives in our Future?

Posted on May 5, 2020May 5, 2020 by Gholmes2

I became a fan of some of the Chinese knives when I saw the quality reach and in some cases surpass a few of the remaining US knife manufacturers. Combine the higher quality with premium blade steels at incredibly reasonable prices and what’s not to like! I sold some in the store and used a…
