When I posted that I planted purple top beets, that was an error. They're turnips, not beets. I know the difference, just had a brain fart. I'm old, it happens.

This year I grew daikon radishes and purple top beets here at the farm. I had 5 beds, each one 5 feet wide and 75 feet long. I planted 2 each and one mixed bed. The daikons were for soil improvement and the beets for the deer. Turns out the deer like both. I harvested a couple bushels of...

Welcome from... wait for it... Missouri!

Wind noise is similar to hearing aids. I have to turn my head to reduce it when the wind is up. Mostly just annoying. I haven't tried shooting yet, but can say this device has automatic gain control. The only thing I don't like about is that it is slow. For example, I can adjust the agc on...

Just an update about my ear and the effect on my hunting. I've had the implant 5 weeks now. The outside part was "installed" 2 weeks later. It is pretty amazing. I've been here at the farm for most of the last month mostly working on the cabin, but also attempting to fill some of the special...

If you do it first, you can hollow the powder end of the base plug to lighten it and give yourself more powder capacity. Sudsy, that scratch on your plug? Mine has one, too. :doh:

Welcome!

That's a nice looking horn. Don't be so modest.

Welcome from KC.

I agree with Aussie Pete, let it age naturally.

Welcome, neighbor!

I never was all that concerned about them, either, until all the diseases started popping up. My father in law almost died from anaplasmosis a few years back. I was having problems with my shoulder and had blood tests run thinking it could be Lymes. Guess what? Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever...

Go out of town a week and have ten pages to catch up with. :) Anyway, about tillers. I bought a Troybilt Horse in the 1970s. The Tecumseh engine finally gave up five or six years back and I bought a 6hp Honda that bolted right up, perfect match. If anyone needs to do that and needs the...

Like all muzzleloaders, the 40 can be loaded mild or wild. Anything between 20 and 60 grains will work. After looking at ballistic tables, I'm not going to try killing a deer with it, I have a 50 for that. That said, using light loads for close range (20-25 yards) should work perfectly.

I really like my 40 caliber Kibler SMR. I found it for sale here on this site within driving distance for the cost of a kit. I wouldn't discount it for being a flintlock. Plenty fast enough for squirrels. Then again, I'm 0 for 0 with it. Not the gun's fault. I can't go to the woods...

I had to give up RSO volunteer work because my hearing got so bad. I was using Pro Ears 30db muffs with the volume turned all the way up and could no longer understand range commands. The good news is I will be getting a cochlear implant next month.

A pair of hearing aids cost as much as 3 to 10 Glocks.

BTDT Lesson learned.

My hearing aids have to come out for muffs. Motorcycle helmet, too.
