Done.

Prayers sent.

Amen and best wishes to all!

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.

Prayers for the family also offered up.

A little less than the angels, but that shouldn't stop us from marveling at our fellow creatures and He who made them.

mav

I worked with a fellow that almost had to quit working because of the pain until they they figured out that he had Lyme. I'm surprised at the physicians that don't check for Lyme. If you hunt or spend any amount of time in the woods that should be the first thing they check for not the last. I start...

I know, that gas work seems either hot or cold. There is supposed to be a pipeline going in somewhere north of I70 between I79 and Rt19. I don't know how far it is for you but there was work south of St. Clairsville, OH during the summer. I heard talk about people going to jobs north of I70, west of...

mav

Is the gas well or pipeline work still going on? If so, I'd check that out.

My parish feast day Oct. 7, Our Lady of Victory

I don't think the date, 9/11, was chosen by accident.

Today was the official first day of trout season for most of PA.

I didn't want to rub elbows with the crowds so I tried a native stream I hadn't fished before.

They are usually not very big but they're always pretty.

mav

Not my son.

I hadn't seen that incident in NJ, Sixgun. Thanks for the wake up call.

That's why we don't "do" facebook.

I guess in my mind I live in a different world.

Thanks.
He looks like he's having trouble getting a proper cheek weld.
I was hoping to find an aftermarket adjustable butt stock.

Welcome aboard.

Just taking a break from clearing some of the slush.

The cold weather's coming back next week.

mav

In rjohns94's thread about places to live in Canada someone mentioned Newfoundland. That triggered some old memories. I have some kin in Ontario and when we were younger they would tell "Newfie" jokes. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I was wondering what was the reason for picking on th...

mav

Now that's what I call an "Educational Field Trip".

Congratulations to you both!

Like most here, I own more than one rifle. I have toyed with the idea of using a single gun for one hunting season. There would be some legal restrictions, e.g. in Pennsylvania you can only use a shotgun for spring turkey season. Obviously, you have to use a muzzleloader or bow in those seasons. I g...

mav

Great photos! Who won Sunday's match? I could only shoot Saturday. Sixgun, you're right, Pennsyltucky has some great shooters! ;-) That fellow from Kansas can shoot though. I wonder if other state matches draw like PA's does? It looked like there were shooters from New York, New Jersey, North Caroli...

Prayers for all concerned offered up.

mav

Ah, Beer in all its glory!

Nice carbine too.

Some of the martyrs died with their arms outstretched proclaiming "Long live Christ the king!" I hope the movie plays near me. I found out about the film when I saw the cover of the May 2012 issue of Columbia magazine. http://www.kofc.org/un/en/graphics/columbia/colcovmay12_en.jpg There ar...

mav

Good luck with your new venture. I have always liked irises, they don't take a lot of care.

Some of the older folk call them flags. I have to wonder how the fruit growers will make out here in PA. A very warm March got thing moving too soon.

mav

Great post and pics Sixgun. I have yet to get to a match this year. I may try to go to Wilkes-Barre this weekend.

mav

I enjoy a number of their songs, although I'm sure I probably wouldn't agree with many of their views. I posted it because of that particular song's theme. I see that Mescalero's tax thread got moved to the political forum, so I'll leave it at that.

I started out with a Lee FCD for the 32-20. I have several other calibers now. I too, prefer to seat and crimp in separate steps. I ordered one of RanchDog's FCDs. I haven't got around to using it yet.

mav

Dave James, I was moved by the video. It's easy to forget that some areas of the Middle East were Christian almost 2000 years ago. I know a college professor who had a student in his class from Bethlehem (not PA). He asked the student how long his family has been Christian. The student said, "f...

mav

Gloria in excelsis Deo! Happy Easter to all.

mav

And to you also.

mav

Nice fish and stream! We (Centre County) have to wait another two weeks.

mav

The fence and the rifle look great.

How are you enjoying our early spring? Are the Meltaways homemade or from Gardners?

Jeepnik, I believe it's usually translated, Ireland forever!

Erin go bragh!

Try Champions Choice.

I think Champion Shooters Supply may still have them. I've heard no one make them anymore.

mav

Mossy,
I'm not familiar with German Valley. Is that near Mount Union? Were you out muskie fishing?

mav

What river is that Mossyoak? I don't know about the rest of the year, but fall and winter I believe they den underground, rock piles mostly. I've see their "sawdust pellets" near their front doors.

mav

Buzzards gotta eat, same as worms.

mav

Nice photo Chris! Of course you're working with some fine subjects.

Nothing wrong with the fence either, I think William Penn called wood "a substance with a soul".

mav

They grow them big in God's Country, eh John? Do you have any more details?

mav

I remember a similar incident last summer. The bear chased a dog right up onto the people's back porch. No people were hurt but the dog was killed.

mav

Congratulations and drive safely!

mav

If you are loading over sized bullets, say .432 for your 44 Mag Marlin, the pistol FCD seems to size the bullet down. At least that's been my experience. I'm hoping the "rifle type" FCD will eliminate that problem.

mav

Pistol size 32 caliber, (.313).

mav

Yes, the Hudson Bay Camping axe is what I've been eyeballing. Another question, is there a name for that style of knife sheath? I like the idea of the belt securing the knife.

mav

I've been thinking about getting a rangefinder myself. I'm considering getting this one.

I've heard some good reviews within it's price range.

mav

Sweet!

It looks like you're ready for any eventuality. What make of axe is that? I've been thinking about a light axe instead of a hatchet.

mav

Prayers offered up.

Bought a gun ticket from a guy at work awhile back. Forgot about it until a phone call on Sunday. Picked it up Tuesday. :-) http://www.savagearms.com/images/firearms/finder/medium/axisxpcamo.png I'd rather have something with a lever, but free is free. Now a question. How common are gun drawings/raf...

mav

I've shot NRA levergun silhouette for 6 or 7 years. As was mentioned earlier, it is way fun. The 1/2 size targets are large enough to ensure some success and yet I've never seen anyone shoot a 40. I've only shot regular smallbore (scoped guns) at unsanctioned club matches. Those 1/5 sized targets ar...

mav

Sounds like a great time. I've never seen a rattler in the woods in PA. I know a couple of guys who hunt them regularly. It seems like they are more common in certain areas and less in others. Funny, I have fished a number of streams that the locals avoid in summer and still haven't seen one. I gues...
