I've given my son half a dozen revolvers and pistols and a Henry lever action, trying to get him interested in the guns I love to shoot (and also to make some room in my gun locker) but his primary interests are in precision rifles. Oh well. maybe some day.....

Walt

Congratulations, Scott! I'm sure you'll get years of pleasure from those beauties.

Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Happy birthday to your son, Jay!

Yep, breakfast in the backwoods with your honey sounds mighty fine. Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

You probably know that she was released from prison a month or two ago.

When I was living in southern California in the late 70s I became acquainted with a young fellow who told me his father was Elden Carl, who was reputed to be one of the nation's fastest fast-draw artists. He was one of the "Masters" along with Jeff Cooper, Ray Chapman, Thell Reed and Jack ...

Walt

Congratulations, GK! That was a heck of a find. Ya did great.

Walt

Newbies eat pinons one at a time. If you want your hands free to do other things, you put a small handful of them into your mouth and crack them one at a time. If you do this too long, your tongue gets a sore spot at the tip from finishing the cracking of the pinon and if you bite into a soft one it...

Walt

I have probably a dozen or more pinon trees in my yard.

Walt

Where do you do your grocery shopping, Bill? The major grocery stores in Albuquerque all have their chile roasters roaring, filling the air with that lovely aroma.

Walt

GK, that model 37 is a fine looking shotgun and certainly a classy single shot. Congratulations

Walt

Yep, you take some great pictures. I really like the wooden bridge. Now that we're back from our visit with our kids I'm committing myself to spending more time in the mountains. My wife is looking hard at retirement. She works for Sandia National Labs and they are offering retirement buyouts for a ...

Walt

I don't see any holes in the one holding down your SAA. You musta scared that one to death!

Walt

Thank you, gentlemen! Getting back into the swing of things. Our son is going on a guided elk hunt in Idaho in October and the guides tell him it's bear country. I gave him a 4" Ruger Redhawk in .45 Colt several years ago along with a box of 300 gr GC bullets that were loaded to about 1150fps. ...

Walt

Isn't that a little light for gophers?

Walt

Bill, I share your sentiments about Lincoln, both the village and the county. I lived in Fort Stanton from 1959 till 1966, went to school in Capitan and always enjoyed spending time in Lincoln. My father was a TB doctor at Fort Stanton until the time the hospital was moved to Fort Bayard where we li...

Walt

Yessir, I'd be proud to have stocks like that on any of my single actions. Thanks for the pictures.

Walt

Gurkhas were masters with their kukris, greatly feared by their enemies.

Walt

We got back from Amarillo and a three day visit with our kids and grandkids this afternoon. We had a wonderful time and all got along quite well. I guess I had forgotten how energy-consuming it is to try to keep up with young kids. The youngest one is only 4 months old but the others are 1 1/2 and 3...

Walt

Same with Jerry Miculek. I had a memorable conversation with him several years ago.

Walt

Way to go, Jay! You had an excellent 2-wheel day. Thanks for the picture. It looks wonderful. My wife and I are headed to Amarillo tomorrow to spend a couple of days with our kids and grandkids. It's about a four hour drive for us and about the same for our son and his family near Ft Worth and also ...

Walt

Nice street sign and I like your belt buckle too.. Thanks for the picture!

Walt

For many years I hunted squirrels in the Sam Mateo Mountains of central New Mexico with a friend and his wife. She was a wonderful camp cook, making fine meals with Dutch oven and frying pans. We hunted Tassel-eared (Abert's) squirrels, which are slightly smaller that reds or grays. We used .22 revo...

Walt

Wonderful pictures, jkbrea! I wish I were there....that looks so inviting. My late older sister and brother-in-law had a Grand Canyon dory that I imagine was a bit larger and heavier than a drift boat but certainly similar in concept. Do you go back upstream to your put-in spot or do you need someon...

Walt

He tackles some interesting recoveries, has some very innovative recovery vehicles. Thanks!

Walt

Nice trails, Jay! Capable Jeep and great pictures. Thanks! Amy and I went on an ATV ride in the mountains last Friday, only the second time she's piloted her own rather than riding with me. We had a really nice time aside from it being dry and dusty. We only rode about 20 miles but it was quality ti...

Walt

Nice pictures, Jay! What do you normally keep on the Deere old rifle rack?

Walt

Yep, thanks Andy!

Walt

Very cool! I knew the floats had to be very long, couldn't imagine a third float for the tail; but who knows?

Thanks, Jay! Great picture as always

Walt

Jay, the C47/DC-3 was a tail dragger. How did they outfit it with floats?

Walt

Hooray, the fog is lifting!

Walt

Thanks for the pictures, Jim. Your group size shows no suggestion of fuzzy eyes. Nice shootiung!

Walt

Very sorry to hear it, Paul. It's terrible to doubt the feeling of sanctity of your own space.

Walt

Very nice! How did you get along with the seat? Sounds like you had a wonderful ride.

Beautiful pictures.....thanks!

Walt

Haha.... Now that's funny! I certainly wouldn't object because I know your heart is in the right place. Don't know about others.

Walt

GK, I had to look up the definition of the word "hooley". Never heard of it before although your use of it is fairly self-explanatory.

Walt

Necessity being the mother of invention.... Very clever, Jay!

Walt

Way too cool, Jim! Thanks again

Walt

I think that's great. Way too many kids these days can only read what's on an iphone screen.

Our daughter makes weekly trips to the library and teaches our oldest granddaughter the joys of reading. Our son, not so much. He reads for technical information, not for pleasure.

Walt

Good son-in-law! Bless him....

Walt

Thanks, Jim. It's great to be able to put faces with familiar names.

Walt

Good one, ollogger! I love it....

Walt

Take your time, but I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures and hearing your recollections of your trip. Thanks in advance!

Walt

On my 0430 walk this morning there was a mountain lion shrieking by a neighbor's house about 75 yards away. My game cameras didn't catch it coming down the driveway but it was nearby.

Walt

Like you, 50% of my rimfire rifles are lever actions, however, only 64% of my centerfires are lever actions.

Walt

Zoner, on my Trapper the distance to the first screw is 3.880" plus maybe a thousandth because I didn't perfectly center the screw head.

Walt

I hear that! I reached a point a couple of years ago when I couldn't swing my leg over the DR-Z any more so I've had to step onto the foot peg for my leg to clear the tailbag. BTW your new tailbag looks great. The one on my bike is smaller but is expandable to about twice its collapsed height..

Walt

Jay, 110 miles is a heck of a long way on that little bike. Did you stop a few times to get the kinks out of your joints? Was that ride largely dirt? Glad you had a good time!

Walt

Scott, it looks like the head of your steel silhouette target is preparing to depart.

Walt

I agree 100%.

Walt

Jay, did you make it out for a ride yesterday? I went for a 100+ mile ride yesterday and it was wonderful. It was a perfect day and although I had initially planned on a shorter ride, it was so nice that I just kept going. I haven't ridden the BMW for such a long time that I need to practice coming ...
