Yes those are my wood steps! When normal they go down to the lower level/sandbar. From there it is about 10 feet to the top of the bank where the ice is now. Every year the steps get moved up to the upper level bu the normal floods. I have a steel cable from them to a sycamore tree so they...
Sorry about taking two posts to do this but I am not all that great at posting images. This is standing on our property and looking at the river. Apparently an ice dam formed overnight because I looked at the river the afternoon and it must have came up at least 15 feet overnight and then...
Not to worry, I do not offend easily and If I think something will offend I try not to post. Well that is here, on the book of faces I really don't mind being offensive. Jim.
I don't remember flaming you! Oh wait I am old and use leather holsters but am not a "fud."
Actually Grebler is wrong about his 8 shot revolver, at least the last time I looked at that part of the rule book. It is kind of weird and does not make a lot of sense but the revolver is IDPA legal...

This is a good place for information about Coleman products of any kind. I joined there this summer after I picked up two Coleman two burner stoves for $5.00 each. one from 1976 the other from 1966, both looked really rough, mud dobber...
As stated above most IDPA matches at ACC are full and they o adhere to the three match rule. That is you may shoot as many as three matches "free" but then have to join IDPA.
Love IDPA at ACC and shoot there most of the time, last couple years other things have gotten priority so not too...
I remember 30 years ago I worked in a shop where we repaired/fabricated parts for what was at the time Public Service Indiana generating stations. A lot of parts were made specifically for power houses and some of them were years old and no such thing as a blueprint. You would get an old worn...
I remember a bit of the hearing when Gorsech was nominated to the USSC that really impressed me. Don't remember the specific question but I remember his answer. "Sometimes you must rule in a way you do not like to be consistent with the law."
That is my problem with the liberal judges at...
Been there done that. In 1971 spent the night in a tent and the temp was 28 F below, probably not much warmer inside. That stove we had was glowing red all the way out the top of the tent. If you were facing the stove that side was warm but your back side was freezing. Jim.
Problem is not being able to talk about shared memories with those that were a part of those memories. At 77 years old there are only a couple of those people still alive. I do share my memories with my younger friends but there is a difference between telling the story and joking with the...
Haven't went on the ice for years but this got me thinking about mt first time. Went with a good friend who had experience, cooooold and a good wind going to make it really nice. He told me to make sure I had everything ready to go so all I had to do was put bait on the hook and drop it in the...
I have been watching the mess in chicago where a charging station ended up full of Teslas being towed because the battery's were dead. With the cold temps the battery's were not taking a charge as they should and many of the chargers were malfunctioning also because of the frigid temps...
I...
"Hey Doc, I am having trouble with an old bullet wound from 28 years ago." Do you really think that doctor is going to research whether or not it was reported 28 years ago? Jim.
I had to rebuild on of my stoves Coleman 413G a larger two burner from 1966, the 425E just needed cleaned. MY lanterns were about the same, one needed cleaned the other needed a new generator. Trust me the stoves and lanterns are both simple to work on or I never would have done it. Along...
