  1. Ken I spent some summers up in your neck of the woods as a pup, one of dad’s brothers homesteaded around Chatanika,after the Second World War absolutely beautiful, and I loved it. Don’t know if you’re wanting to live in town or out but south Missouri and Northern Arkansas where me and Doc are at are pretty hard to beat in my mind. After truckin all over the lower 48 and Canada there’s pretty country and good people everywhere. Some of Nebraska is gorgeous but they sure know how to have winter, spent more time waiting out road closures there then any of the western mountain states. Always thought if I wanted to move any farther south than Missouri I’d look real hard at North Carolina but I’ll stick to the Ozarks . As far as politics in missouri we have a Republican super majority in both houses and a Republican governor, not that Republicans are worth bragging about any more in my opinion . Constitutional carry state and lots of public hunting ground and lots of good fishing. If I were to relocate in Missouri I’d be looking over in the area’s around Truman,Stockton and Pomme de Terre lakes region if I wanted out of town because of fewer people and lower land prices, if I wanted a fair size city the Lebanon area. But absolutely avoid K.C. St. Louis, Columbia and sad to say anymore but not interested much in Springfield . we do have property taxes but it used to be one of lower in the country.
  2. If my dad was still alive he’d be saying son throw a stick of hedge in the stove it’s colder than a well diggers ass out there this morning and the grounds froze harder than a wedding dick and by the time we get chores done we’ll be shakin like a dog shittin a log chain and we’ll want that stove jumpin when we come back in.
  3. You’ll here everything but meat fryin and money rattlin
  4. Yes sir Jerry that’s a dandy. Like my dad used to say about them that’uns got porches on his butt big enough to set a cup of coffee on !
  5. Grandson busted this last Saturday during youth season. I’m tickled for the boy he made a heck of a shot 128 steps through the timber and only had one small opening to make it happen and timed it perfectly. Buck was dead before he hit the ground. Was very proud of him for waiting for a clean shot after watching him in the scope for several minutes and whispering a couple times grandpa I don’t have a clear shot and I don’t want to just hurt him. It’ll be the last buck he kills here and likely the last deer hunting I ever do as the farms for sale due to the mess of a divorce I’m tangled up in. But thankful that we both have the memory of the last deer season on the place being a success. Jim
  6. Jerry I can’t help with the pits but I like Brownells Teflon molly . But a heads up on curing ovens…. The first one I did in our kitchen oven . The barreled receiver was to long to get the door closed completely but I read that you could use tinfoil hanging off the top of the stove and kind of tent it around and make it work. The Gun turned out great. The Stove not so much… The heat coming up under the foil warped the snot out of a bunch of plastic trim and do-dad’s. Momma was not happy. I was able to replace it all but lesson learned. What I ended up with was a old used electric stove I bought at a yard sale for $20.00, built a angle iron frame for it to set on with cheap Harbor Freight casters, cut the range plug off and put a welder plug on it and it’s up in my shop. I can roll it around and use the top burners for parkerizing , canning pickles, frying fish and squirrels and taters when we need something to soak up beer and it keeps everyone out of the house. I had planned on cutting a hole in one or both sides and rigging up flue pipe or something where I could close the oven door but tinfoil is to cheap and easy and this old stove is all metal with the knobs up on the back , works great and handy for things I never thought about till I got it. I’ve read about folks using JB weld under spray on finishes to fill pits but ain’t tried it myself.

    sick

    Darn hate to hear it, best of luck with it Tom.
  8. Same here , the only bare shelves I’ve seen here around home were the ammo shelves and it has started coming back some.
  9. I Sold some very nice feeder steers last week that ended up being the highest selling cattle sold that week out of that sale barn, they ran maybe 2500 head through that day which is a heck of a big sale for this area. Top selling steers brought a $1.65 a pound before yardage, vet and commission , same money stuff was bringing in the 80s and 90s. Next day in my local grocery store T-bone steaks were a little over $15.00 a pound in the bargain bin! I can guarantee you there is absolutely no shortage of beef on the hoof there just by God ain’t. And if you know where to look you’ll find the info on how the big storage freezers around are full up too….. I could go on and on about all the reasons why but it’s all manufactured B.S. Then of course there’s the shortage of big trucks … get on any interstate and tell me again about it. aggravates me so bad I’m almost glad to be selling out.
  10. Haven’t dealt with them in years but does anybody know what’s up with ER Shaw ? Looked at the website the other day and it had changed lots don’t really know about them now but they used to be decent for the money. The ones I used would shoot better than I could, not that it takes a lot.
  11. I do believe you to be a good man Tony.
  12. Here’s wishing you all a happier and healthier New Year.
  13. I’m bettin it’s gallons and gallons of practice .
  14. Yep I reckon my big old fumble fingers pinched a little too big a pinch too, and believe I’ll put my cheaters on in the morning beforehand too
