I keep about 1000 rounds of 7.62x54 on hand. Ammo for that round, if military surplus, is still affordable. The 9x18 Mak getting harder to find. Tokarev gone through the roof. Don't hunt but I enjoy the old military stuff. Better built in many cases than the new manufacture. Swede Mauser the...

"Does this taste fowl to you?"

After Thanksgiving, I try to round up all the leftover turkeys on sale at the market for the garage freezer. Don't mind giving any leftovers to the chickens....they don't mind eating a distant relative, I guess. Five or six turkeys are enough for the year for us. I tend to get the smaller ones...

I had a serious motorcycle accident years ago. Ambulance, hospital, nothing broken but a lot of road rash and sore limbs. When my wife arrived at the emergency ward, she said "you can't go first...." took that message to heart. The most amazing part of the story was that my bike went 400 feet...

I was raised in Rochester, MA. Left in 1959, but still make visits now and then. Miss the woods, the water, the summer thunderstorms, clam bakes,,...not so much the mosquitos, ticks, snow, and summer humidity. And the June Bugs. Things were everywhere! That's why all homes had a blocked off...

Leaving behind two loved ones in such a short time takes it's toll. Both my parent's remarried after their divorce...my father and step-father both passed within three years of their spouses dying. I can't imagine life if my wife should go first. The thought of having to downsize by removing her...

I got out at 58, and never regretted that decision. Even with the newer home, there are always more "honey-do's" involved, but I consider them a challenge. You may find part time a better fit, because you can choose your own destiny...being stuck in a 40 a week job isn't all it's cracked up to...

With retirement from a major Aerospace company in Silicon Valley, moving to a less expensive area in the Sierra Nevada's made sense. Bigger, newer home, less property tax, more acreage with a small orchard, less stress. I used to suffer heart episodes (atrial flutter) at least once a week...not...

Since we've retired and moved up into the Sierras, we purchased a second hand fridge and freezer for the garage. Not the most energy efficient, but reliable. We intend to fill the freezer with turkeys left over from Thanksgiving (last year Costco sold fresh turkeys the day after for $6 each) and...
