Haha well if there's a pile that big here, it must be in Augusta (the capital). Haha I've seen some skanky stuff on the road here. Couple weeks ago I drove my mom down to Portland to a doctor appointment. On the way back, I see this pickup and trailer pulled off askew on the interstate. There is a s...

Most definitely! It's got a charm all it's own buddy.

Maybe a little bit of a smell too.

OldWin

Hicks rule!

All them boys need is some Allen's Coffee Brandy, some Moxie, and a J.C Higgins 12ga.

OldWin

Hahaha!

Toilet seat?

Gentleman?

Couch?

You obviously ain't been to Cornville.

OldWin

Wow! Glad you are all ok.

OldWin

Haha! Sounds like your campaign is off to a great start! With a platform like that, you can't lose.

OldWin

Yeah. Just pull two levers on the side and the loader comes right off. I should have done it before I took it all apart. Now it's in the garage and if I release it now I don't have enough room to back the tractor away from it. I have the battery out and a bunch of wiring removed to allow me to remov...

OldWin

Well that is really something special. I absolutely love it, Jim.
Bra-vo!

OldWin

Hey! Six is up early. No way man. I'd never lose the factory grips. I have a drawer I keep all my revolver grips in. Everything labeled. All my 1911 grips are in a box with all my 1911 parts. Tore the nose off the 770 yesterday cause the battery tray was all rusted out. From what I read it's pretty ...

OldWin

OK, 2 nice zzz’s but Walt’s has that “grab and squeeze look”. Jay…I reread your PM and you said “true ivory” ….they will look nice as long as they are not bright white…..you can give them the tea treatment. Take the stocks off of the XR3 and size up the XR3 red……they may work after some cutting…….t...

OldWin

That's one good thing wheeling with the Jeep club. There is a bare minimum of equipment to run certain trails. They have a numbering system for the trails with a list of suggested modifications and required modifications. Also they will list the probability of damage. My Jeep goes pretty good and th...

OldWin

Cool picture! I grew up riding dirt bikes and kept at it till my son was born. Then I felt guilty and switched to 4 wheelers so I could take him. We also had the camp and used them a lot. I had a 4wd that I used hunting and trail riding. In the summer when it dried up I had a 2wd sport rug with a he...

OldWin

Yup, it's deep. Even my tractor struggled in spots. JD770 4x4 with the differential locked. I didn't want to use the sled as I have my storage fuel in it. The ground is bare back from the road a ways, and the dooryard of the camp is a mess cause I plowed it with the tractor this winter. Next is mud ...

OldWin

Hey! Walt done real well. Good for you buddy!

Got the tractor home and I'm my garage. Now it's maintenance time and getting it ready to head back to the woods. Ran and got a top link and got my log skidder attachment all mounted. Slick! Gonna work great.

I do a little o' that too Walt!

OldWin

We BARELY got in with the 4 wheeler yesterday. I got the tractor fired up and started easing that up the road. I got it to the corner and only had trouble in one spot. Took some patience and a little back and forth, but I got through it. I left it at the corner and then really struggled getting us o...

OldWin

Easy one for me. The Bowen .44 Magnum. Second place is a stainless .45 Colt/ ACP Bisley. jb:) Yes....this one! Until then, my 4.625" .357 Flat Top from the other thread. I also have a 3 screw SB candidate for the "Jason Treatment", I just haven't got off my butt and had it done.

OldWin

Hahaha!

You were supposed to send me that Merwin too! I paid for the Merwin and you said you'd throw in the FT.

Had to try anyway....
Yes, I said that but you were 5g’s short.

Haha! Like I said, worth a shot.

Ha! Great minds.... When you said how to make it last longer, I immediately thought, "clear coat it". Nice! A Deeeee....Walt Air compressor. I have a DeWayne. They are made in Cornville and cost $29.95. Sounds cheap, but you have to feed and water them. There's just an air fitting coming i...

I agree. If it doesn't work for you, and you don't want to alter it, sell it and get something that will.
That's what I do at least.

OldWin

We got a snowstorm Wednesday and Thursday and it's supposed to be close to 60 Monday. I can feel the sinuses already.

OldWin

Long time before I'll be mowing.
I heard about the earthquake. Didn't feel anything up here. We've had little tremors a few times in my lifetime, but it's barely noticeable. A log truck going by does just as much.

Thank you sir!

OldWin

Holy smokes! Is that green grass? Well, at least we didn't get snow like last time. Only 8 inches or so. They got it worse down to the coast. Lots od wind and power outages too. Good place for it, stinking yuppies. Back to work now. I never got up to camp this week. Hopefully there isn't any more th...

Thank you sir. Much as I love the Colt SAA, there is just something about rolling the hammer on a 3 screw Ruger.

OldWin

I don't know. Summer is in full swing down there so he's probably busy outside.

That's great news buddy! I'm really happy for you. Not only will you have a place more suitable for you, but your kid will be close by. Good stuff.

OldWin

My only Flat Top. Made in 1960.

OldWin

I used to do models too. There were some cool ones back in the 70s.

Haha I bet I'll be complaining before that!

OldWin

That's my wife. Me......? I get out the instructions for my grandsons Hot Wheels track. I spread out all the pieces to identify and get in order. That's why I'm a machinist. It's also why, when I put something up for sale, it's gone immediately to someone who knows me. Well, it's back at it again. F...

OldWin

Yup. There's such balance in nature. Most times, you can look at a guys stuff and tell a lot about him. Like you said, if they don't maintain their stuff, they don't take care of themselves either.

OldWin

I knew you made it up.....illegals don't wash their clothes. The taxpayers just buy em more. So today I figured I'd do a little fork maintenance on my trail bike. Oil looks pretty nasty. I'm sure it was the original oil. So now I'm sitting on my butt. Just gotta put in the new oil and set the height...

OldWin

Hey don't feel bad. We got more snow coming this week. That fox stayed cause he knows you feed him. Years ago, my buddy that ran the gunshop would take his leftovers every morning and give them to a fox that stayed in a culvert at an intersection. Every time she heard my buddy's truck she would come...

OldWin

First 5 days huh? I just missed it.
Story of my life.

Well, at least the wife made it, so we're covered.

OldWin

Haha thanks buddy! I will surely let her know. We had a good day yesterday. We all went over my parents place for dinner. Mom cooked the whole shindig. We had a nice time. My parents place is really nice, so people would think we are a normal family at first glance. However, they would soon see we a...

OldWin

I'm trying to decide on my pronouns as we speak.

Strangely enough, tomorrow is also my wife's birthday. I ask her if this had anything to do with that.

Obviously, I was quite worried.....and afraid of her answer.
For obvious reasons.

OldWin

Yeah maybe. That's what I figure anyway.

Haha hard telling......
Hopefully not better than me.

OldWin

Hey! Nice work with the shelves. I could use a couple too but don't have the room in the garage. Having to put the Jeep in the back in the winter puts a kink in a lot of plans. It's obvious that fox eats well. Otherwise, you'd be missing a cat. Up here, that's a fox delicacy. A cat can put up a good...

OldWin

Views? I don't even see that. Oh well.... Last day. I got tomorrow off for Easter. That's a 2 day week, 2 weeks in a row. Wish it was like that every week. Well, no. I wish I didn't have to go at all. Pretty nice digs GK! There's a place like that in West Athens, but it's a little nicer. :D Holy smo...

OldWin

Glad you got it all done buddy. I hate doing stuff like that. I always fear I get it 2/3 done and realize some little part is missing.

Pretty good deal GK!
Nice place to stay.....all the huntin you want.....AND free beer......!?

You got a better gig than the guy that owns the place.

OldWin

Holy smokes! Well I think that should be your digs buddy. You deserve it.
You could fit everyone in Cornville in there. You got room for an indoor shooting range!

OldWin

Haha yeah I been in some sketchy ones over the years. Most times, I'd just rather go in the woods. Done it so much over the years I don't even think about it. My pet peeve is the "bench type" outhouses. Hate em. That was the one thing I was NOT going to have in this one.

OldWin

Haha you're right GK!
We called it the "Poo Palace".

That's good news buddy. I'm really happy for you.

OldWin

The plastic shed for the outhouse was actually Kristy's idea. The cool thing is it's really warm if the sun is out it warms right up in it. I have a padded seat, so it warms up in 2 seconds. I put up a coat rack so you could hang a coat or pistol belt. I have a small table in there with hand sanitiz...

OldWin

'Mogs are awesome. Nothing like Portal axles.

OldWin

Mine is made kinda along the same lines. I scrounged a piece of 12" PVC municipal sewer line, cut a round hole that it just fits through in the floor of the shed and base, and put a toilet seat on it. It's held by L brackets between it and the floor. It's all on the outside, so if it has to be ...

OldWin

The small "shed" is the outhouse. The bigger one is the one my middle son bought at Sam's to put his four wheeler in. I have a solar battery tender in a tree beside it. I keep some diesel fuel, bike ramp, and other odds and ends in there too. We have an old Honda snowblower at my dad's he ...

OldWin

Just rabbits buddy. Everything has come to a screeching halt. Poor deer have to be bumming.

OldWin

Yup. I'm a lucky dude. What's more, I know it. :D So after a 2hr nap this morning, I threw a shovel, the roof rake, and my snowshoes in the truck and headed for camp. I'm here to tell you boys, even going downhill was tough going breaking trail. After the first 100 yards, I was questioning my wisdom...

OldWin

Haha yeah, she takes a lot of heat. Well, she used to. When she managed the office she wore high heels every day and looked all classy.
Now she oversees the night crew at the store. Way less stress and BS. She wears jeans and work boots. I call her Rosie the riveter. She's still pretty cute though.
