    Canada and Alaska Travel

    I am transporting a 1955 Made Winchester model 12 in 12 GA. It's a takedown and packs well when space is at a premium. So far, there has been no circumstance where it needed to be assembled. Fingers crossed. Yes....beware of Mrs. Bullwinkle. Tom H.

    Canada and Alaska Travel

    We've been camping since mid-May. We left Arizona heading north to Canada and Alaska, enjoying a leisure pace. While we have witnessed some outrageously beautiful places, what stands out is how civil absolute strangers have been. Montana, Alberta, Yukon, and of course Alaska has some of...

    To all the managers of your respective fields.

    The key to being a great manager is capturing the will of the people. This happens when you find ways to appreciate your employees. Problem employees usually fall into one of 3 categories: don't know how to do the job - training; physically can't do the job - different job; don't want to do...

    Prostate Cancer - What’s You’re Experience

    I had prostate cancer - 7 Gleason score. Was treated with radiation and follow-up seeds. It's been 15 years and no cancer. That's the good news. The bad news is that leakage and impotence are with me for the rest of my life. I'm 80 and seriously wonder if I would have been better off doing...

    Ethical Question

    A short tutorial on ethics. Ethics can be defined as doing the right thing when there is no law or policy mandating it. An example might be running ahead of a very old woman at the grocery store to get the last cart. Nothing says that is illegal or wrong, but ethically it stinks. It's been...

    If you own a late model GM truck with the 6.2 motor

    In my opinion, this recall and its root cause is the equivalent of the surgeon leaving the scalpel and sponges inside the patient after closing the wound. There is just no excuse for this. In my experience, you can’t delegate responsibility. The results are always perfect for the choices we...

    If you own a late model GM truck with the 6.2 motor

    I spent a lot of years in the spark ignition engine engineering business— design, development, and planning, with regular attendance at our various engine plants. This recall is reeeaaaaalllly expensive. I can think of numerous places in the engine assembly process where this should have been...

    Does anyone shoot anything other than 9mm?

    Sadly, as old age and arthritis have dramatically reduced my hand strength and function, the ability to effectively manage my 45 ACP, 10mm, 44 Magnum, and even 357 Magnum pistols has made the 38 special and 9mm a necessity. I fear that I will inadvertently drop the higher power pistols and that...

    For the fans of old tractors

    I agree with this thread needs pictures. My 1949 Ford 8N - it’s literally bulletproof. Fresh gas and a battery charge and it is ready to go. Tom H.

    Actors/ Actresses you can't stand?

    Being on “the list” might be a badge of honor? A healthy DIALOGUE is a good thing; it’s like thinking together. A potentially very powerful thing.

    S&W 22LR Manson cylinder reamer Forum LOANER CLOSE & LOCK THREAD

    I can’t help but wonder if this extraction concern is related to ammunition variability or chamber diameter size —- or some of both? In engineering vernacular, a “Bender Stack Up Analysis” would identify a solution.
