    General Tech What did you work on Today?

    When shooting metal targets from inside 25 yards, I suggest standing off to one side just a bit. It's possible for a bullet to fragment and come straight back and hit the shooter when standing straight on. Don't ask me how I know.

    Coronavirus

    I have asthma, my wife has lung cancer (3 years in remission, probably got it from second hand smoke from her father, but who knows she never smoked one single time) otherwise we are both quite healthy and active and aren't on a crap ton of meds. We have been protective of her since the...

    Coronavirus

    I had a thought this week. I wonder about mask effectiveness....one could say that more people than ever are wearing masks and yet more people than ever are getting sick. I realize that it's a super simplistic statement and not a scientific approach, but I haven't really heard anything since...

    Abandoned vehicle purchase experiences?

    If it's just for parts, I question what you'd really need to have......perhaps just a letter from the property owner stating the timeline of how he came to "possess" it, and a bill of sale? If that VIN is not going to make it out on the road, I don't really see what problem to solve other than...

    Thanksgiving weekend in the Swell

    I can't find solid info, but it appears that night time temps were 16-19 degrees. Sleeping was fine, but you sure didn't want to get out of the sleeping bag in the morning!!

    Thanksgiving weekend in the Swell

    Day Two we ventured off to find the White Wash Sand Dunes (neither of us had ever been there). I had built in some "navigation" into a new GPS app I'm using and while it worked, I however have some learning to do!! When building the route to the Dunes, late at night, the night before we left for...

    Thanksgiving weekend in the Swell

    Well, Rot Box and I (wife and dogs included) went ahead and meandered the Swell Friday and Saturday. We met up at the Wedge Overlook as planned and ran down Buckhorn Draw Rd/Temple Mountain Rd all the way to Goblin Valley. We took in the views and the wildlife and some diversions. We ran over...

    Gratitude Stepping Up

    Good thread! I'm grateful to still be here and struggling through 2020. It's been one for the ages for everyone. I'm grateful to still be employed, to have a roof over my head, for a healthy family that also are all employed and happy. I'm glad that we got my daughter married (between covid...

    Thanksgiving weekend!

    We well head out early on Friday morning and are about 4 hours away.....shooting to arrive at 10 (ish) Red JKU. We'll bring some firewood as well. I have a couple of ideas on where to go, but we can discuss and I'll bring my good maps of the Swell. It will be me, my wife Nancy, and the attack...

    Thanksgiving weekend!

    I'll look at maps tonight....we're game. Temple Mtn Rd from the Wedge south to Goblin is more scenic than you'd think, really nice, and super easy road. That would take us to Goblin Valley....the Campground at Gobilin still has a couple of tent sites open. The Mrs said as long as we can have a...

    Thanksgiving weekend!

    We are thinking go down and meet up on Friday AM......run the Swell area and camp somewhere...Goblin Valley? Then some add'l exploring on Saturday and we'll likely camp along the river by Moab Sat. nite.....and wiggle our way home on Sunday.

    Thanksgiving weekend!

    Rot Box.....what's the current status on this? I WAS planning to head to AZ to get our new camper, but just found out that its delayed "several weeks". So perhaps I can convince my wife we need to do this for perhaps the Friday meet up, overnight somewhere ?, and some more fun on Saturday...

    RV breakaway braking system??

    I'm a cheap date.....LOL.....but not a big fan of IPAs. We'll have to discuss how to make the swap. I haven't really done anything with it yet. Thankfully, you aren't all that far from me, so I think we can easily figure something out.

    New Mbryson tow pig...”Sweaty Betty” - 2010 F350 V10

    I'm lucky to have a station 1 mile from home that has all non-ethanol fuels, including premium, year 'round. I am not an ethanol fan.....especially in motorcycles and small engines, but it makes a measurable difference in mileage and performance in the vehicles as well. YMMV
