Man! Got up to go to bed and we got 3 or so inches of snow since 7:30. I didn't even know it was snowing. So I went out and scraped that up. Oh well, Zoey had fun. That's her favorite thing in the world. Yeah buddy, the Jeep would have gone with no problems. Way more clearance and much lighter. I'd ...

OldWin

Hahaha! MUI? Mowing under the influence. I think it's BS the cops bagging people for that. You're on your own property, you're not in the road. It's just more BS big brother likes to pull for money and power. All under the guise of "safety". That's the most dangerous word in the country. I...

OldWin

Holy smokes boys! I'm wiped out. I got up this morning and figured I'd head up to camp. Now last time was dicey getting out, so i figured I'd throw the snowblower in the truck and snowblow the high center in my trail in. It was 9 degrees up there, so I threw on some long John's (I usually never do),...

OldWin

12 degrees here.....and I'm not.

Hey buddy. Wondering where you been. Glad to see you're ok. Wasn't sure if the Russians invaded.

OldWin

We got a ton of 44-40 and 38-40 smoothbores up here.
Of course, they didn't start out that way.

OldWin

Jeez......I'd like to help and all. But times are tough here too. I got a whole country of bums, and a bunch from Mexico, all depending on me. By the time I'm done paying for 5 star hotels for illegals, paying forgiven college debt for 35yo living with their parents, AND YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY!, I'm a...

OldWin

The one i saw was really nice. It was thin for finish as I recall, but not a pit or ding anywhere. The action was tight and the bore was perfect. It was a full mag too. Usually the Express 76's were short.

OldWin

Due to the recent events involving the Chinese balloon, a bipartisan bill has been introduced banning all balloons in the form of cartoon characters, hearts animals, geometric shapes, etc. Regardless of shape, size, theme, or circumstance of use (ie: birthdays, weddings, graduations, parades, or cel...

OldWin

I had a 50-95 in my hand one time. Beautiful 1876 Express. I could have had it for..... I think it was 6900 bucks. It really wasn't a bad deal, but I had 2 kids in college at the time so I handed it back. All in all I'm pretty happy in my life. The country? Well, not so much, as it's circling the dr...

OldWin

Thanks buddy. Yes, you are right. We still have the Scott, but it hasn't run for a long time. Gramp bought a 42' 2.5hp Johnson that he could pack into some of the remote locations he had to navigate back in the day. We have that too, and it runs. We also still have the solid brass oarlocks for the b...

OldWin

Cool harry!

I have this 1942 Old Town canvas covered boat. My grandfather won it and a 7.5hp Scott Atwater outboard for a 25 cent raffle when he was a warden. It's a beautiful thing, but needs a restoration.
We fished out of it until the early 80s. It rode wonderfully.

OldWin

Not for me buddy. I hate the heat. I mean HATE it. It's a lot easier to stay warm than to stay cool. I can't stand trying to do something and the sweat is pouring off you. Clothes all sticking to you. Miserable. Work in that for while and I feel like I been through the wringer.

OldWin

Thanks for the update Oldwin. stay safe and Warm. Thank you. I just saw there was a "steam devil" over in Frenchville. I'd never even heard of that. Looks like a tornado cloud, but it's from the steam rising. I've seen that plenty, coming off the river in blinding sheets that leaves hoar ...

OldWin

. Yeah, but it's just a sham to make the Biden administration look good to the left wing fools. Whatever date of the balloon was collecting had already been collected so shooting it down after that happened doesn't accomplish anything unless for some reason we were worried that Chinese were going t...

OldWin

Cool! I just read there were confirmed Frostquakes up in the county. I've never experienced one. It's where the ground is freezing so deep and quick that it makes little localized earthquakes. They also had confirmed tree explosions. While I've never seen one come apart, I have heard some earshatter...

OldWin

Like I said, that's with the wind. It only matters to us. Inanimate objects don't feel wind chill. If the thermometer says it's 20 below, that's what your vehicle "feels". If your vehicle is up to snuff, with a good battery, and doesn't have conventional 20w50 in it, it SHOULD start. The g...

OldWin

Ha! I'll tell you what buddy.......
A one time deal....today onl.....well, anytime.
I'll swap that primo half mag 92 takedown for that beat up old 73 rifle in the picture.
Oh heck! I'm feeling generous, so I'll swap for the engraved carbine if you'd rather.

See what a pal I am?

OldWin

Oldwin, hope your making out O.K. up there from the national weather it looks brutal .Stay Safe. I'm ok buddy, thank you. The worst is over now. It wasn't that bad other than the wind. I guess Mt. Washington set a record. It was 110 below. That's chilly Fer shur. :shock: It was 54 below in Jackman ...

OldWin

The 38-40 is by far my favorite of the old west "stubbies". For whatever reason, it is not rare in my area, and is WAY more common than either 44 or 32. Them old hicks was smart. :D While I have no handguns chambered as such, I have 7 rifles and carbines of various make and model. Unlike m...

OldWin

A Chinese drone?

Hey! We got one of those in the WH.

OldWin

Woo!
Right now it's 24 below in Jackman with a -51 WC.
Wouldn't be a lot of fun if you had to rude your sled from there to Rangeley.

OldWin

Haha yeah. It's not the cold, it's the hour drive to work. You have to plan for ending up afoot. No fun in this weather. I believe the Chinese. It most likely is a weather balloon. If they wanted any of our secrets......as if they don't have em already, all they have to do is call the WH and Joe wil...

OldWin

Just got up from my pre work nap. It's almost 10 below right now and the wind chill is at 30 below. I took the dogs out to pee, and whoo! That wakes you up quicker than coffee. Its supposed to go down to 20 or so below tonight. It's 20 below now in Jackman. That'll put the WC at 45-50 below. Nippy. ...

OldWin

Ain't much colder here. Its 25 now. Now, tomorrow night......well, it's gonna be about 50 degrees colder.

OldWin

Most do, yes.
Some don't. There are losers and bums everywhere.
Some people with hunting dogs have outdoor kennels, but they make a place the can get into that is insulated. Sometimes, they leave a 100 watt incandescent light on in it. They do the same with chicken coops.

OldWin

I haven't seen any yet. I think it was 14 below this morning.
I think tomorrow it's supposed to be 20 or so below. But it's supposed to be windy. We will see.

OldWin

The closest thing we came to a change was Trump This is true. The proof in this is in how it was dealt with. And the fact that it won't happen again. There is no "right" and "left" in the government. There is only the government. The right and left exist only in the population. ...

OldWin

I know absolutely nothing about this incident. As I've said, I don't watch the news, and won't allow a newspaper on my property. There will always be incidents of one persons fault or another. The videos, however, always skew reality. Nobody is putting the videos of thousands of examples of cops hel...

OldWin

Haha trust me, i ain't that talented. I'd never done it before, but I'd read a ton online and researched it quite a bit. I also work REAL slow and methodical. It took me a long time but I'm pretty fussy and got it dialed in pretty good. I ain't gonna lie though.....it was a PIA job. It will be the b...

OldWin

Here is some pics from the install. There is one where you can see the cable shifter installed on the transfer case shift lever. There is a picture of some of the parts making up the crossmember and new high clearance mount. The crossmember is sitting on the milk crate. There is a pic of the Jeep wi...

OldWin

The stock skid on the later TJs (02-06) hung down farther than the earlier ones due to transmission changes. They also have an irregular surface that can catch on things. They earned the nickname "the shovel", for their ability to scoop up stuff and fill full of mud, dirt, and rocks. Putti...

OldWin

Haha yup. That's why I put a flat skid on my Rubicon. What I have for clearance now under my skid pan with 33s, I'd need 39" tires to have with the stock skid pan. The Gladiator is flat bottomed, but is stock, so it doesn't have loads of clearance. That being said, it goes really well. I've bee...

OldWin

Cornville? Weeeee dogggggie! What kina crazy hillbilly would go to Cornville? Just got home from camp. Gettin out was a little dicey today boys. But, as you know, you don't know how good your rig goes if you've never been stuck. Now, full disclosure, I wasn't stuck. It would still move, but the snow...

OldWin

Yup.
And it's ALL gonna come back around real soon.

OldWin

Over here it ain't just the youngsters. I'm not saying people ain't useless, but I think many are seeing that working just isn't getting them anywhere. So much of your earnings are just outright confiscated. Let alone all the other taxes and BS they take from you. All the while being made to feel gu...

OldWin

Yeah......I seen that before.

Hey! I think that 1911 is mine!

OldWin

Oooooohhhhh! I sure do like them stags old buddy....old pal.

I've never even seen the rare length flat tops. My buddy has a 44 flat top with a 4 digit number, but that's about the only one around I know about.

OldWin

I can't say enough good about Dillon Precision. Neither can I. In 2021 my 550B that I bought in 1987 gave up the ghost. The main ram wobbled and the whole thing twisted whenever you seated a primer... I called Dillon and they laughed, said to take everything off of it and send it to 'em. 10 days la...

My Son in-law bought an inexpensive Savage in 6.5 Creedmoor two years ago. He doesn't reload. It must be pretty popular as the local wally world and farm store always have ammo for it. We sighted it in at 100yds with the Hornady 143grn vld ammo , it shoots little bitty groups and Paul is thrilled w...

OldWin

We never locked doors or took keys out of vehicles, snowmobiles, motorcycles, or stuff like that.
Many kids were pretty feral though. Most were on the loose in them days. They only really feared adults. Fights were fairly common. We saw divorces, but not among my close circle.

OldWin

Haha oh yeah! I also had a late 60s Schwinn Stingray. And you know what..... ? I still got that puppy bro. They bring good money now. When we went to dirt bikes, that was the end of the bicycles on our neighborhood. That was around 1980. There wasn't any uppity schools around here. The dregs went to...

OldWin

Hahahahaha! Yup! That's a true statement. :D Yeah, I grew up about the same. It was a few years later, but the atmosphere was the same because we are behind up here. The 80s here were like the 70s everywhere else. Up in the county, it's still the 80s now. I had the coolest bike in town too! A Yamaha...

OldWin

Yeah Griff, I have the 2000. About 10 years ago, lightning fried the AC plug on my Dillon Determinator digital scale. I called them just to see if I could get a new cord. I told them the scale still worked on battery power and that I suspected it was lightning. The guy asked for the model number, an...

OldWin

Very nice buddy.

Haha yeah. You know the old saying.......

"The older I get, the better I was".

I wouldn't change a thing. We had a big ole time back in the day. I got the aches and pains to prove it.

OldWin

I'm up.....i guess. Didn't sleep as well today. Snowing again, but we ain't supposed to get much. Hate when it snows while I'm working. I can't get deals like that bro. That Marlin is pretty. Yeah. When I change phones, which isn't often, there is no need to go to the phone place anymore. They send ...

OldWin

Haha 300 bucks?

Then I'd. Got IT FOR nothing.

OldWin

Tonight.....I got nothing.

OldWin

I don't have a computer. My phone is all I got. No house phone either. We'uns is po. Didn't hear about it. Like I said, no news or newspapers in my house. Man! What a sucky night this is. Everything I touch just seems to explode. Even my supper did in the microwave. I knew 10 minutes after I got her...

OldWin

I'll take 30-30 over either the 45-70 or the "maybe obsolete in a couple years" .360. I've always had several 45-70s around, but just don't get the use and versatility out of them I do with my 30-30 chambered rifles. I'm kinda the opposite. I have a couple 30-30's that I love. A 1961 Winc...
