  1. I see your situation better now. Just throwing an idea out. What about a French Drain from the NW corner of the coop running to the SW? Could that eliminate half your problem now for much less cost?

    A/C

    I used mine a few times over the past week.
  3. Talking cooking game with a very old neighbor a long time ago. She said for the tough cuts use a covered cast iron pan with the lowest heat you can arrange, cook for 24 hours. Worked well for pheasant legs. Use some wine.
  4. Did you get an estimate to repair/expand the leach field? No real problems with mine except 30 years old. Figured it was time, especially because we've made the last college tuition payment on the youngest child. Cost me 3 grand for a local contractor to put in a new field. Done in a day. Put on a new roof a few months later. No leaks, just 30 years old.
  5. I hear target cadence shooting in the woods around me quite often, not just on weekends; not rapid fire. Heck I contribute to the sport myself. I have one or two spots on my hunting club's property where I put a couple of sporting clays on a pile of wood chips as targets. I'll shoot at the end of my 2-3 mile hike, maybe 50 rounds 1-2 times a week. I have spots for doing pushups and watering the dog also. From what I hear around me I think some guys have dedicated ranges on their property. Good for them!
  6. I bought a brand new recently made Marlin 336 30-30 4 months ago. I looked it over pretty closely before I put my money down. I couldn't find anything wrong with it. It's dead nuts accurate like my 336 in 35 Rem that I've had for 25 years.
  7. When the weather gets cooler I usually put an old army blanket in my pack just in case. It doesn't take up much room and in a pinch it's worth it's weight in gold.
  8. A guy I hunted with for a while used an M-1 carbine all the time. It was the only gun he owned, and he always got a deer. I never saw him load anything but ball. He had to track a few, not far. There was never a deer he did not recover. He was a one shot kill hunter. He was also my platoon sergeant in the reserves. He taught me a lot about the woods, taught me a lot about hunting.
  9. We had a lot of apples last year. The cold snap after the warm snap killed this years crop. We have blueberries, but not as many as years past.
  10. Crown Heights is in Brooklyn. Why are people talking about Manhattan? Any urban living is different than the suburbs or rural experience. You can't be nonchalant when going about town. Most people in NYC are good people, but if you make yourself out to be a mark .. well you'll get taken advantage of. I grew up in downtown Manhattan and worked all over the city. If you are from out of town and moving in, learn how to cross the street and learn how to walk on the sidewalk. Don't walk close to buildings, things do fall out of windows or off buildings.
  11. Grilled boneless chicken breast, roasted asparagus, mixed salad
  12. over the counter pain meds can also raise your blood pressure. dessert and booze increase blood sugar
  13. 9mm usually costs a lot less than .380
  14. "J" frame 442 or 642. I feel it hides and rides better than my shield, not that the shield does it badly.
