    Looking for a new sleeping pad

    I just use a mattress from an old hide-a-bed. Sleeps two comfortably, me and my wife. Roll it up with two bungee cords. It's the last thing to go in the truck because it takes up a lot of room.

    Some prepper troll chit

    Anybody wanna bet how long before that "structure" rusts out and collapses? I'd give it 10 years tops.

    Chevy troubleshooting

    Check compression and connections at the coil(s) and at the injector(s) and look for corrosion (green crusties). I have used two bottles of Techron in a quarter tank of gas to help clean out the injector(s) and have had the money light go out. Doesn't work all the time, tho. Can you see the short term and long term fuel trims?

    Where Am I?

    Got nothin for this one. Those are Joshua trees if my memory is correct. Close to Ajo? Why?

    Tree ID.

    Can't say for sure, reminds me of a sumac tree. I have plenty at my house and they are hard to kill. They send out rhizomes from a parent plant and pop up where you least expect them. If they find any source of water, good night!! I replaced an inground repipe repair, the old gray butyl tubing, with pex last year and the parent sumac sent rhizomes along the butyl tube all the way back to it's source. Since my rework, the parent sumac is suffering from drought because pex don't leak, pex don't weep, pex is here to stay and all the joints are tight. If it didn't rain, the sumac wouldn't survive, but you can say that of all trees. Thank God I don't have a septic system to worry about because a sumac will invade the leachfield and make your life miserable.

    Az MVD

    I have a 1982 Reconstructed Special (VW rail buggy) that I emission every year and then send the compliance cert in along with the renewal form. This year I renewed online and got the tag in about a week. The problem was the registration came back as a trailer instead of Reconstructed Special. Had to go in person and have them change the registration back to Reconstructed Special.

    Electronic tags

    Couldn't agree more. I knew a guy years ago that didn't have enough money in his account to replace the arrows he lost, had to use his credit card. Then his card was declined and he had a meltdown.

    Outdoor Writer (Tony)

    A good dog. On different days lock your dog in the trunk of your car and then lock your wife in the trunk. Which one will be glad to see you the most? The more I know about people, the better I like dogs. Tony has a way of writing that entertains most people. Some people just don't get it. That also explains our social media today. If you are looking to be offended, you don't have far to look. How to survive in today's world: Head down, walk fast, look worried.

    Electronic tags

    Agreed, it is probably coming. If I am still hunting, I still will not carry a phone. My camera may be digital, but those are MY pics and locations, not the world's. Maybe I'll have to visit poach-a-doe canyon more often.

    Electronic tags

    I am a dinosaur. That said, the proposed ruling seems to be an either/or option. Does not say you have to have an electronic tag, just IF you happen to chose that method, the tag can only be used once. Am I supposed to carry my computer out on my hunt? NO! I have a dumb phone and it will stay that way so I will always chose the paper tag. I am an old fart, retired. I can read a paper map, not need GPS to get to my doctor's appt, only use the box-o-rocks to check my balance when it really matters. And when this box dies, so be it.

    Dumb it down...please

    If you are white, you ARE a racist. If you're not white, you CANNOT be a racist. Not talking about you, simple words for simple folks that don't read past the headlines. The MSM has bought this hook, line and sinker. Even Chris Lemon, who happens to be one the most privileged MSM elite with a 4M house in the Hamptons and who knows what kind of salary, crying that he is being oppressed. ALA Meghan Markle.

    Pray for me, my wife is already with god.

    Hoss, my condolences to you. Just now heard about your wife passing. Stay strong, keep busy, and don't sweat the small stuff. As far as missing the deadline for the upcoming hunt, there should be some kind of leftovers after the draw. Bill

    Anyone like "Country" Music?

    Found ultimate covid vaccine

    A friend's dad, Charley Glenn, was a supervisor for Haskell Linen in Tucson. If he was anywhere close by on his days off, he would always swing by the plant on South Park to "see how the boy's were gettin' on". You're Dad probably knew him.

    older houses and Alum wire

    Ouch! My boy's house in Havasu burned down in '06 due to a remodel/addition done by a previous owner and they didn't replace the AL wiring in the existing part of the house. His house was a total loss.

    Are water bowls or trays considered baiting?

    Maybe they have goats? Way off topic but I'll tell the tale anyway. I have a distant cousin that moved to Flag from Buffalo, NY back in the mid '70s. She was definitely a vegan and a hippie-dippie person. Anyway, she hooked up with a guy that had goats and they would roam the area tending to their herd and living off the land. heck, she gave birth to two daughters while they were living like gypsies. They did train the goats to haul their camp and supplies. If I recall correctly, they would roam from Flag to Sedona and points in between. So I said she (they) were vegan. Some time ago at a family get together, I noticed she had meat on her plate. After delicately inquiring, she said she became a meat eater again after some time in their travels with their goats and realized they had to cull the herd. Not wanting to waste a source of food, they butchered a goat and ate it.

    2020 strikes again

    Aluminum alloy. Steel wheels are more forgiving in that they bend. Aluminum alloy wheels, cast or forged, are incredibly strong but they do have their weak points, and fracture is one of them when the stress gets to high. Also, made in china.
