$4.70 a deal. Any place near me is over $5 and our ATVs eat it up. I always add some Seafoam to container too.

I kind of have the same problem with Great Blue Herons and Kingfishers in my bass pond. Do they eat the bluegill fish I have by the hundreds??? Noooooo! They like bass And you're not supposed to harass them I keep telling the dogs.

My dad was a quirky engineer who had five sons. Among topics we were educated on was coffee. Coffee because as a young engineering student one of his projects was to design the perfect coffee machine without regard to expense. I got a lecture. :-) Water boils at 212 degrees F at sea level Perfect temperature to brew coffee is between 195-205 F. To serve, 155-175 and to drink 120-140 If you ever worked at a decent restaurant, you really pay attention to coffee. A bad serving of coffee will destroy the finest meal. There's a reason why Bunn machines are at every restaurant. They are very dependable, consistent and a standard for suppliers. But beans and water play a big part too for them. Percolators can make a great cup of coffee, but their operation must be closely monitor as they are always recycling coffee through grounds to make it stronger. They also vary more in operation with change in elevation. Plus, they suffer from the same issue with most coffee makers. You don't want to overcook your made coffee on the burner. With that being said mom's old Corning Ware percolator is in my kitchen

Has anyone had the pleasure of using one of the new Thurway rest stops? Talk about missing the mark. First, there extremely limited restrooms. Men's room is 4 urinals and two toilets. And in NY fashion two of them were out of order. The entrance to restroom is furthest from the building entrance. And the line for the food court is directed in front of the restroom entrance. Largest offering in building is an overpriced convivence store stocked with useless items. Very limited food options. Brilliant interpretation of what's required for a rest stop. Two years in the making and this is one of the first.

I reload primarily for WWII military rifles of various nations, so I eat up large rifle primers. Pistol rimers haven't been an issue to get for some reason and I've seen small rifle primers available but 223 isn't tough to come by. 209 primers come and go but my only use is muzzleloading. But Large rifle primers are in the ether so I would feel more comfort if I knew they exist. My go to powders: IMR 4064, 4895 and 3031 but I have dabbled in others.

My kingdom for LR primers

3 in One Cart-Chair Shooting Rest.
hueyjazz replied to airedale's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
From a design aspect I see a lot of faults and compromises. The center hub puts a lot of strain on the plastic spokes. Chair isn't designed for human anatomy. It would need to more "S" shaped for back comfort. There's little or no adjustability. Entire system lacks any ergonomics which if you do plan to sit for hours becomes very important. -

As a young teen my dad would volunteer me at times out to a good friend of his that had a dairy farm. It was very hard work as the farm was understaffed and my main working partner was his son "Tool". (Never was there a better nickname) So after a hard day's work there was absolutely nothing to do. At night the only TV was occupied with Heehaw and such and I wasn't a fan. My dad was a WWII vet and a Battle of the Bulge participant. He didn't want guns in the house even though his father provided food with them. The one thing Tool was good at was shooting and he taught me to shoot a 22. Our nightly ritual was to go down to the corn crib and shoot rats. I likely owe all my shooting ability to this practice.

How about the breakfast at all the diners that would open early. And the stories at night and many of the same home cooked diners for dinner. Zero ATVs used but an orange army (Sometimes Red mixed in)

Clearing land without Glyphosate
hueyjazz replied to hueyjazz's topic in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM
Knehrke, thx That does look to be a good resource. Recently the electric company had the tree service clear cut anything even remotely near the utility poles on my property. I've done a lot of DEC trees in past but do now plan to do more for my Ruffle Grouse and such in these barren areas. Daughter is to inherit property so my management of it will be part of legacy. I'm already one freaking expert on land clearing as far as saplings and things getting rid of evasive species. I rebuilt and slightly modified an antique Jari sickle bar cutter that I was also able to find all new cutter for. It's my "Path of Mass Destruction" Anything two inches or smaller disappears. It's downright fun and makes me feel like I should put fuzzy dice on it. I also have a commercial weed whacker with a carbide saw head that is dangerous but helpful. Ever see Fargo? -
I have 30 acres on a mountain top that adjoins my buddy's 20 acres. His includes about 4 acres (being his share) of abandoned farmland that mixed grasses. The soil is all rock and clay. Absolute crap. Digging a foot requires dynamite Granger, NY near Swain One thing that concerns me is the use of Glyphosate. I know they all say it's safe and breaks down into inert materials. I also had for 36 years in my job title Environmental Engineer. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "It's Safe". And years later........maybe not So whenever possible I try to follow "Living better without chemistry in my food chain". And when I do use chemicals for anything, they are the safest for the purpose that work. I always read the SDS as a matter of professional training. Would a large tarp, (and I mean really large) be a good way to clear an experimental plot to see what we can grow? I'm not talking acres but more a large garden plot. I do have a 35 HP tractor and access to a drag as well as brush mower.

I guess the real answer is what is the expected range of shot. It would be a miracle to get a shot over a hundred yards on my property. I zero at 60 yards.

I get grouse on my property. Pretty sure it would be impossible to hunt them without a dog. They pretty much wait for you to step on them and then pop up. Half the time they fly right at you. The DEC nursery program has a "Grouse Packet" of various trees and shrubs you can plant to attract grouse.

I have them a have nothing bad to say about them. I'm betting you'll be happy

Supposed to be real cold tomorrow, put my heater in my blind ?
hueyjazz replied to luberhill's topic in General Chit Chat
I wouldn't do it. One of deer's best senses is smell. Even the most efficient propane heater will give off combustion byproducts. You might be a dead giveaway on ground. Handwarmers in socks, gloves and even hat. Layer up but don't sweat when walking in.
