    Hypothetically, If You Were A Tyrant Who Started A War

    I read somewhere the other day a Canadian sniper was on his way to volunteer in Ukraine. Wonder if its the same guy. I have a friend who was a Marine Scout Sniper who was in the Corp for twelve years who was wounded in Iraq. He said that the Canadian snipers were top notch. Don't know if true...

    The Price of Driving Our Cars

    I'm glad I kept my Kawasaki 610 Mule. It gets a good 40 mpg and here in Sullivan County Indiana I can get around this little town. As long as I stay off the freeway I can drive it around anywhere and it doesn't require any special licensing like what was required in Arizona. Gas here is $4.30 a...

    Pocket watches?

    When working on airplanes many moons ago that was all I used. I witnessed a guy wearing a wrist watch with a metal band hit it on the DC power plug in on the side of an old DeHavilland C7A Carabou. It wasn't a pretty sight. Still have somewhere the one my father bought me when I went overseas to...

    It’s an official record!

    I'm still trying to get use to this southern Indiana weather after moving from Glendale Arizona. Right now its fifteen degrees with an expected high of twenty-four degrees.

    Great Pukko - Great Deal

    My favorite hunting knife is a Helle of Norway Les Stroud Temagami. Keeps/takes a sharp edge and very reasonable priced knife. I've had and used mine for years now.

    Making Black Russian

    My pour mans version is just vodka and Kailua and maybe with a little half/half. A bartender friend of mine had what she called a burnt almond was vodka, Amaretto and a little half/half. I do like your version Steve but seems like a lot of work.

    Favorite whiskey/whisky?

    I agree on the Kirtlands. Nice taste for sipping at the end of the day. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I bought a bottle and tried.

    I was at CVS Pharmacy the other day and came across this special addition on Sherlock Holmes. Ninety-six pages of articles and illustrations. Just started ready and enjoying.

    Utility Bill for December...SHOCK!

    My Son's heater is propane. He just had the tank filled today. We are waiting for the sticker shock. My camper is propane for the heater and I know propane has almost doubled the last time I filled one of the tanks. Its been in the teens at night and low thirties during the day this week so I...

    dishwashing your pipes

    When I use to restore old WWI and WWII rifles I used this method for pulling out dents in old rifle stocks. As long as there wasn't any cuts in the wood I would have some pretty good results.

    When it Rains it Pours

    I've been off line for awhile. Had to rush home from Indiana to pack up the house. I asked my wife to check with local realtors to see what the market is for homes in our complex. Next thing I know the realtor calls me up that our house sold in a day. I couldn't get home right away due to...

    On the move

    Haven't been around much this past week because I'm in a rush to move. The past two years I've been back and forth between Arizona and Indiana (mostly been in Indiana) helping my Son out with my Granddaughter who has just turned three. She has had some health and physical issues (which...

    Where did you start...and where did it lead?

    When I started smoking a pipe thirty plus years ago it was from a local pipe shop and I believe his renamed version of Lane 1Q that he called Gold Duck. Wasn't long after I started on English blends which if memory serves me correctly was Frog Morton. I still smoke my first pipe I bought from...

    Resolutions for 2021

    When I worked for the Airlines in Phoenix Senior Management also pushed for all of Mid-Management to donate to United Way. I refused for the very reasons you did. The other joke was their requirement that you participated in Maricopa County's annual car pool computer poll. Apparently they got...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Yes I was shocked too. Farmersburg Indiana is a little farming town about eighteen miles outside Terre Haute. Mickey's is a small bar/grill with three pool tables and seats maybe sixty people when full. Great food (especially their burgers, quesadilla's and pretty good taco's on Tuesdays), $3...
