Rusty1953, John and others. Thanks for your concerns. I'm well, sold all 17 head of cattle last fall just before the artic winter descended on the KS prairie. Saved me a bundle in not buying hay. Other than the 180 class Whitetail I KIA'd in deer season it was a long and cold winter. I have...

I hope all have weathered the last year ok Mrs Model 70 and I have been busy since Feb getting the new house built. We sold our horses last spring. We just sold the cattle herd. Sold all chickens except 2 polish hens and will get some this spring. Being in the home beats the RV we lived in...

My SIL asked me to go with him to pick out a good deer rifle. Years ago I bought my daughter a Rem 700 ADL in 243 and taught her how to shoot. She has bagged deer. My SIL is not a gun guy, he can shoot but grew up with other interests. His Dad and Grandfather are hunters. SIL found an ad for...

Hope everyone has a great and safe holiday.

During my Freshman year of HS 2 fellas got into a heated argument over which was faster. One was a dropout who had bought a Big Harley, he was what they called a greaser. The other lad was freshly 16, his Mom was my English teacher. She grew up on a farm in the deep Ozarks. She had a paddle...

I have owned most semi auto models, great plinkers. Reliable and like the single actions might last forever when properly maintained. I once had OU'S in 12 and 20. Good guns. M 77, I've owned too many to count. Several were super accurate. I bought new one of the 1st in 7 Rem mag. It had a...

I went to an auction last Sat. I bought a super nice, like custom, Mauser to gift a relative for 170 bucks. It is a 30 06. Bought me a Rem 700 Matt black in 22 250 with a new 250 dollar scope on it. They pulled a Redfield 3x9 Wide field out of a box, I had not looked at it. Got it for 12.50...

Oak mites. They are expanding, they layt eggs in oak leaves and fall off, being almost microscopic the wind can carry them for miles. The bit is very itchy and seems like a chigger bite. Being under an Oak tree right now in the KC area can and will get your upper torso lit up. Mrs M 70 and I...

My son is a chunk of Missouri hardwood that didn't fall far from the tree. He one upped me and joined the Corp. He had the old school DI's. You could drive a wooden stake thru their heart and they would just laugh at you. He did the original sandbox, Desert Storm. He's not afraid of much. He's...

About an hour ago I started my truck The temp was 126 in the cab. I fed and watered the chickens and pulled up the NWS for my area Temp 101. Wetbulb 118. It been this way for a week. I wish that vice president feller would have invented global cooling instead of global warming. The good...

She was a city girl when we met. Never saw a deer unless it ran across the road in front of her. Now she sees deer a quarter of a mile off the road when I'm driving. We just got her big Ks buck back from the taxidermist. Her 2nd of many deer bagged. We just built a chicken house. While going by...

My FIL passed and my wife picked out the 66 no dash and a Springfield Trapdoor cavalry carbine for us. Still dont have internet on the farm. We are in town on the library computer. Like to get pics for you all, maybe some one can post of I text you a pic.

We caught the 1 pm stage to town today, do laundry, shop, buy saddle soap for the saddles and see when the baby chickens will start arriving. We went to wally world. Some lady who was a little larger than my quarter horse had on yoga pants. We whirled a little to late. We were blind for a few...

Still don't have Internet out in the wilderness. Miss you all. My smart phone isn't so smart. It won't pull up likes nor let me do much. Hope everyone is doing well and getting enough nice weather to give you spring fever. Take care, Duane.

Please insert holiday of your choice. I hope all have a nice and safe holiday season. Mrs M70 and I moved to our RV on the farm. We have electric and a 500 gallon propane tank. We will be warm and cozy. Trying to read and type on cell phone is slow, Mrs M70 also said it eats minutes. No...

I traded into an FN 300 MAg. Bought a Redfield Revenge scope for it. Opening day of Ks deer season it was very overcast. Saw 2 deer with 10 minutes of legal shooting time left. I could not make out heads or tails. My Wife was using my Kimber 84 in 7mm-08 with a midrange nikon on it. She was...

We lived on a farm, raised most everything we ate, including the turkey. My mother was one of the best cooks in our part of the world, maybe the best. She worked a day job like Dad but cooking was her love and canning was her passion. She took lots of pride in her meals. Mom's older sister was...

Charter Arms 44 Special. Something that has H&H as the manufacturer. If one Tulsa Spring show dealer had not left 4 hours early I would have had H&H's in a 12 gauge Badminton SxS and a Square bridge .375 H&H by H&H. We were so close to a trade. Did not get his card, did not know he was leaving...

I hate Micky D's. The fries are OK but that's it. Today I had a biscuit for breakfast, no lunch and was hustling all day. I was tired and hungry, light headed and needed food. I was on my way to th farm to drop off new spare for the stock trailer and to check zero on my Kimber 7mm-08. My...

The Garden snake thread got me to thinking about some snake things I saw as a younger person. First, there are facts, unproven and wild speculative theories and Redneck scientific experimental labs. My Mom's youngest brother fell under the classification Accidentus Whoops, he was 10 years...
