State to state on bell and cave creek built the best 700r4/4l60e I ever ran. I have been through 6 and his was the only 1 to last and he backed up his Warranty. He rebuilt my transmission at my 1 year check up because he saw something he didn't like in the pan. There was no sign the Trans was going bad, it was a 1 year scheduled maintenance to keep the 2 year warranty. My truck was a daily driver and a weekend off road truck that I used hard.

Air Conditioning Season is coming quickly. Don't get taken advantage of. I have a great contractor that does a lot of west and central Phoenix Metro work. I can get recommendations for a good east side guy too if needed. The A/C business is full of crooked installers and service people. Don't take advantage of. Contact me if you need a recommendation. I work for an A/C wholesaler so I deal with these dudes all day, every day. Most of them I wouldn't trust for anything. I can give you names of quality residential and commercial contractors. This is my rule. If you have seen there TV add, seen there billboard, or heard there add on the radio. DON'T CALL THEM!!! You will get taken for a ride at the expense of your pocket book. Harley

Matt Long - Long Realty. He is an east side guy mostly but he is awesome. Tell him Harley Smith sent you.

Big Heng for more traditional Chinese, and Zang's Asian Bistro in downtown Glendale for higher end stuff. I lived 2 miles from Big Heng for years and drove by it all the time. It doesn't look like anything special but the food is dang good. Zang's just reopened in downtown Glendale and is even better then it was before. I live a mile from Big Heng and if we get Chinese, that is about the only place I will go for good quick Chinese.

Once and Undertaker always an Undertaker... ..l..

My 257 seems to start loosing it after about 40-50 rounds down the tube. It seems to like about 10-30 rounds the best. I generally just punch the bore with a tight patch with some CLP on it before I put the rifle in the safe. I don't put a bore brush down the barrel very often. Only when the groups are getting way rough or it is going to sit for a long time. I used to be more diligent about full cleanings every time but this 257 weatherby does not seem to like it. I had never really shot 1 specific rifle often enough to notice this trend until now though either. My dad had lots of things to choose from so I often went from one gun to another for different hunts. I now pretty much exclusively carry my weatherby for most all varmint and big game hunting so I have learned my rifle much better then the guns I have used on past hunts. I don't kill much but practicing with the same rifle all the time and dialing in loads has really helped my consistency and helped me notice the cleaning trend.

The only elk I have shot was in unit 8 and it was a 40 yard shot. The parts of unit 8 I hunted you would be hard pressed to take a shot past 300.

Where do you work?

I only saw one bull on my 2 cow hunts In 19a back in the day. It was a good size 4x4 bull broadside at 50 yards. Pm me if you want directions to where I saw him.

I hunted unit 8 for late rifle cow a few times many years ago. The first time was pretty successful and we heard and saw a decent amount of success stories. 2 years later we could not find an elk to save our lives and nobody we talked to had seen anything first hand. You heard of a guy who knew someone who's 3rd cousin saw something but that was it. This was 15 years ago though. Scout a lot and get deep. There are tons more guys running around on quads and SxS then there were then. They will be hard to find.

I spent a winter in North Dakota work outside, and I lived in Colorado for 5 years working construction. I will survive.

If I didn't still have 5 lbs of my last 8 pounder I would be all over this.

Any info for late rifle cow In 7E?

I am hoping to be using the 115gr Berger VLDS on a cow elk this December.

I saw 4 yotes running a drainage near my son's school near 94th Ave and tbird. I have also seen them near 83rd and olive. I wish one would stop into my hood and take care of the stray cats my neighbors feed.

I am going to continue load development on the 257 Weatherby with 115gr Berger VLDs and probably start working a load for 7mm remember mag with VLDs or Nosler Partitions. I also will be working a load for my buddies 3006 and possibly a 270 for another hunt buddy. My buddy just put new glass on the 3006 so we are going to get it sighted in at 200 and start working on steel and paper out to 500. Harley

My group was drawn for late rifle cow in our first choice unit. I am pretty stoked. It has been a long time coming to get out after elk again. Harley

My 257 weatherby loves 117 gr Hornady BTSPs. I have just started working with 115gr Berger VLDs and they show a lot of promise. 115gr Nosler Ballistic Tips shot well too but I couldn't get my groups as tight as the Hornady or even my initial loads of the Bergers.

Does anyone have this caliber that could use the items? RCBS dies and about 70 rounds of formed and primed 30-30 brass. Harley

I would not do less then a 243 on elk and that is only if I was good with the rifle and an under 200 yard shot. A nosler partition would be a great choice for elk.

Does anyone know a good reputable local place that will sell and assemble a military shadow box. My wife's grandfather passed away a few weeks ago and we want to get a shadow box with his military jacket, medals, pictures, etc. Obviously we need a place we trust because these items are not replaceabe and special. We want it done right and done well. Thanks Harley

This is for a short bed I assume by the pictures

We drew an elk tag somewhere!!!

When you get it done would you mind sending me a picture? Thanks

Being drunk is fun occasionally in the right setting. Being that drunk like that, not so much. I get drunk maybe once a year anymore but when I do it is fun.you are a cheap date too if you don't drink often. My dad had a drinking problem so it has never been my cup of tea to drink much, but it can still be enjoyable in the right setting
