Since his father passed away fairly young Travis was never really around Ed. When Ed passed away in 2021 he explained the family connection. Ed was also an iconic voice hosting a TNN truck show.

Over the past week this song has popped up several time. Arguably the best cowboy song ever written... surely the most popular. I like the Waylon and Willie version. A few years ago when the writer of this song passed away I was surprised to learn that early contributor to this forum was related...

OK, this one is not even remotely close to being waterfowl related. LOL My nephew's girlfriend recently lost her 17 year old cat. It's got to be tough to have a pet pass that was around from grade school to graduating from college. I hear that Lucky was a good cat. He was a good one to be my...

Well, that stinks with all the flooding. But thank you for taking us along with the photos.

One tip to get a little cleaner look, not that it is always important. Before you apply the thread coating wrap a layer of scotch tape about an 1/8 of an inch ahead of the guide and behind the thread. Leave a little folded over tag end on it. Then after you apply the coating the tape can be...

Like others have said it isn't too difficult. Just take your time and you will be fine. I've built a bunch of rods on a simple wrapping station made out of a box a lot like this. Only thing I'd add are a couple slots on the sides where the rod is cradled. I use them to put a rubber band over the...

Some of the best and worst ducks I've ever eaten were divers. Redheads, Cans and Ringnecks have been great. Maybe getting them right off of the breeding grounds makes a difference. I love seeing and hearing Goldeneyes but I think I will pass unless I want to try a really pungent recipe with...

Should be blaze orange so you don't lose them in the woods.

Back In Black is really great. I agree that it does basically define a genre. Like early Black Sabath is heavy metal, Back In Black is hard rock. But I had to go listen to some Bon. He did some good stuff beyond the obvious popular songs.

Being just a little younger than you I was in JH and HS right in the middle of the Pyromania and Hysteria years. I almost laughed at "they moved to a more pop sound that appealed more to the ladies". I don't think there was a bleached blonde or an overly permed girl who didn't have one of those...

51 years ago today this album was released.

Have had a gas tankless for about a year now. I wouldn't do it again. For some things its great, other things it kind of sucks. Pros: For a long hot shower at a consistent temperature it is awesome. Set it and forget it. Even the gas version is very quiet. It probably saves on energy costs...

Max is now home. I hope Deuce and I taught him a few bad habits. He was here because my sister went to Hawaii on vacation. This is what they brought back for us, matching Hawaiian shirts. Better lock up your women and dogs in this small town.
