    Rain

    Decent sleeting rain in Alpine this evening. Spotty showers on Sunday as well. Sure did cool it off nice. Elk calf born last night in the grass off my porch.

    Make sure your HVAC is up to speed...

    Word! Change your filters monthly with a good filter. I live in a heck hole. First five ton unit was a Bryant. Got it used, lasted 18 years. All i ever did was change the return filters. Also have a 3 ton Rheem for the downstairs. Same deal, change the filter monthly, 19 years old. Almost every unit sold regardless of manufacturer from about 2005 to 2015 had coil leaking issue's when they banned R22. They used old coils in new units and they could not stand the higher pressure. you could always spray your condenser coils out with a hose if your concerned. Change your filter regularly and your evaporator coils should stay pristine.

    Lion or Large Bobcat

    First immediate impression was bobcat and thats usually the right one, but the more I look at it I'm thinking lion. Solid color from back to chest and the larger shoulder hump, face is elongated with a prominent chin.

    Thieves in Tucson

    Had an Echo blower stolen off my back porch a month or so ago. Followed tracks out into the field behind my house and saw where they had walked out pushing a bicycle. Circled the field and caught a kid about 10 riding out on a bike without the blower. I believe he had taken it earlier in the morning. As he teared up I quit questioning him. Probably a prison sentence for me, hurting his feelings. when I was his age an old cowboy stuck his boot up my butt for throwing rocks at his horses in a corral. Roughed me up bad. My Dad laughed about it. Little BASTARDS!

    Nobody / anybody

    Well that really puts it into perspective. What a difference four points make.

    Nobody / anybody

    I had 29, 30 now. I went into the draw with my brother who had 23 points so we averaged 26. 5A and 5B first and second. Next year I'm thinking about using my 30 by myself.

    Elk archery setup

    Killed my first bull with a 145 grain Bear Razorhead that cost a dollar apiece on an aluminum Easton Game Getter shaft at 12 yards. Liver and lungs went about 200 yards. Another bull fell victim to a 125 grain steel vortex expandable at 65 yards on a 16/64th Beman carbon shaft, 88 pounds of draw weight and 65 yards of distance. Guts, liver, lung and out the shoulder on the far side. Lost 50 pound spike whitetails, pigs, coyotes and just about everything else with the same combinations, and set ups considered much more high tech. Regardless the animal you really have to put it on them. Making a really good shot regardless of set up is the most important part. Personally I still shoot heavy arrows and 125 grain broadheads. It's what I have a bunch of and I know that if I can make the shot i"m good.

    Enough moisture?

    The leaves also contain an antihistamine. People with asthma used to smoke it before commercialized medicine was available. It was sold in cigarette form in drugstores until the late fifties.

    I can't imagine the adrenaline that comes with watching dogs that you trained tree an animal like that. Awesome

    ISO 30-30 bullets only

    I bought a box from Cabelas online about a month ago. 150 grain Hornady RNSP I had to dig a little on their website to find them but they had them in stock at that time.

    NRA FILES FOR CHAPTER 11

    I hate the phone calls, and the constant pleas for money. The jet setting on those funds pisses me off also. I sign up for five years at a time. It's the only game in town.
  14. I have one from that era, no plastic, walnut and steel. Arguably the best 22 semi auto ever made. That's a nice rifle for someone.

    Arizona

    My daughter lives in Buckeye in a cookie cutter neighborhood. Whenever I go to visit the only thing I can liken it to is the birds leave the nest to go out and forage for the day and then come back to the nest in the evening. She has lived there for three years and has no idea who her neighbors are and she shares three property boundary brick walls with them. Found a ball in her yard and she didn't even know if they had kids.

    Arizona

    Kitt Peak is the Largest Solar telescope . The LBTO Large Binocular Telescope Observatory is the largest binocular telescope in the world on top of mount Graham. Several telescopes are under construction at this time that will eventually be more powerful. Did you know that under the UA stadium is where the mirrors for the LBT and the mirrors for the future GMT ( which has seven mirrors ) are cast? 8.432 meters diameter, weigh over 15 tons each, take about three years to finish each one.

    Thoughts on battery operated chainsaws.

    MY Father in law bought a battery operated STIHL. I thought it would be a huge waste of money but he is extremely happy with it. He uses it quite frequently on the ranch for cutting Juniper posts and stays cleanup etc. and the performance and battery life are really impressive. The Huskys have been sitting since he got the STIHL. Light, maneuverable, it definitely has it's place out there.

    Recovered Hornady bullets from 2 bucks

    Highly underrated bullet in my opinion. 154’s and 162’s are fantastic bullets for the price in a 7 mag. 139’s in a 7mm-08 ...... Terminal Ballistics website does a lot of real world testing in New Zealand culling goats , hogs and red deer. Their data is pretty un biased and based on real world. In my real world they are minute of blood on the mountain accurate.

    WTB Remington 721/722/725

    When I worked in the mines I bought a few rifles from guys who were struggling. I would offer a reasonable but not good price and handshake on the option of buying it back for the same price within two years. Two did, three didn't. Glad you got that rifle back.

    143 eldx

    Didn't exit anything but the shoulder blade, and at that in about 15 pieces that I was able to find. The fragments did penetrate the lungs though and caused a lot of internal damage. The shot was maybe 80 yards with a bullet traveling about 2700 FPS
