    Synthetic gun stock

    Just wondering if any of you have cut down a synthetic gun stock. I have a Tikka T3 lite with the synthetic stock however in the colder weather and wearing heavier clothing I'm finding the lop too long for me. I've seen on youtube a video of a guy using a hacksaw but before I attempt this I...

    Rear back blade won't drop

    We were away for a while so with some white stuff on the ground I decided I would drag the back blade to create a base, tractor started up just fine so I moved it out of the sea can to let it warm up for 15 or 20 minutes. The back blade right up no problem however after letting it warm up it...

    Don't let this happen to you

    Well after a lot of hard work preparing for winter my wife and I (Tuesday) finally got a chance to take it easy. It was a beautiful sunny day so I decided to get the pellet gun and crossbow out and take some shots so I asked my wife if she would like to shoot a few so we got set up. Now both of...

    Predictions

    Winter seems to be coming early this year. We went from hot and humid right into cold and damp, actually snowing out there this morning. So my prediction is this winter we'll be making up for the winter we didn't have last year but I sure hope I'm wrong.

    Ever notice

    Wife and I were talking after a fairly long day of work and without thinking I said to her that I've noticed that after 45 or 50 in a grocery store you don't seem to notice another person coming from the left or right (no peripheral vision) and was wondering if she noticed. With a serious kind...

    Glasses on line

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience buying glasses on line. My insurance only covers them every four years which means I'm paying out of pocket more than I would like. Last week I had a pair of progressives fall out of my pocket while I was wearing sun glasses working out the road with...

    The price of steel

    Boy I'm sure glad I built my trailer when I did. This week I went to pick up a couple pieces of metal, a 5ft 2x2 x1/4" angle was 3.25 per ft and a 4ft piece of 2x2x3/16" square was 5.70 per foot. Even back then, 17 years ago it was probably cheaper to buy one already made then to build it...

    Rear ballast box

    As many here I've decided to build my own ballast mainly to save money and also next week I should have my grapple for the front. Well I came across a thread by buckaroo who did a great job of building one so I figured I'd steal his idea. I want to make sure it won't be too heavy for the L3560...

    To grapple or not to grapple

    I'm just a short and curly away from pulling the trigger on a new land pride sgc0660 grapple. For years I cleared the trees on the side of my road without the aid of one however old age is creeping up on me and the old body is looking for help. I've read better things about the EA grapple...

    Could use some help from you tree huggers.

    I've got some critters chewing on my apple trees and making a mess of them. The local feed store told me to use Trounce on them but it doesn't seem to have much effect. Please excuse the dog hair it just keeps coming. Any ideas?

    Dirty people

    A little back ground first. I'm lucky enough to have a 7 acre parcel of land that my parents left to me that I built my cottage on which is now my home. Probably been 15 years or so since we drove the first nail. When I first started I thought I'd be only getting here by boat since the small...

    Dilemma, I just started doing the bearings on my boat trailer, just a small trailer and a 16 foot open boat that I've had for years...joked about it for a long time that it's the only thing that I've kept for all these years besides my wife. Anywho I've replaced a lot of bearings in many things...

    It's here!!

    Well it's that time again thank goodness. I wouldn't say summer is here but fishing season is upon us. Finally got good enough weather to put the wharf in and yes it's not pretty but neither am I. Won't be long before the little boat I have is tied up to it and then the fun begins although some...

    A good day out

    What a difference in a couple years, couple years ago this time I was clearing snow, this year my wife and I spent most of the day doing a road side burn and listening to tractor tunes. Here comes the mud season.

    Soon

    another couple months I'll be looking forward to a night fish for stripers on a night like this. We're starting to get built up around here, 10 or 12 years ago there were only 7 lights down the lake and no towers.
