Hey all. Just checked here after too long away, obviously. Just read about Steve and not even feeling like reading thru the posts anymore. But I did want to say hello to everyone. I?ll check back in a few days

Just looking in to say Merry Christmas, Happy New Year to all! Ever since I became a hermit, I keep forgetting what day it is but I see here by the notches I cut on the edge of the table that it is holiday time again. Retirement has been fun...had a great summer chasing walleye on Saginaw...

I have recently disassembled a wall to wall, ceiling to floor desk/ shelf/ cupboard at my son's new home. I think I have 28 hydraulic, "soft close" hinges, a box full of ball bearing drawer slides and many round stainless door pulls. If you're a woodworker and have some interest, let me...

Retirement is a funny thing. Monday might as well be Friday. Time ( and timing) changes. So I haven't been around much for almost 2 years. BUT I have spent a lot of time chasing walleye on Saginaw Bay, chasing ducks and geese and deer all around Michigan and I generally break 90 on the...

Just logging in to let you know I haven't kicked the bucket. It's this retirement thing...I get confused some days trying to decide if I want to hunt, fish, golf or watch Gallery of Guns. Had a great summer chasing walleye and perch on Saginaw Bay...been breaking 90 consistently and built...
