    I found a new cigar dealer

    I've enjoyed good cigars for over 40 years. A couple of weeks ago I saw an ad somewhere for a cigar dealer I'd never heard of. www.cigarpage.com It's my new favorite place to buy cigars! They have better discounts than I have ever seen before. I've made 7 purchases and they arrived quickly...

    Mushroom hunting

    My wife cuts the stem off, and stuffs the caps with lump crab meat, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and a little cream. She sautés them in butter, then puts them in the oven for 8 minutes at 350. Delightful!

    Rifle for Granddaughter

    I/we/all of us, would LOVE ANYTHING Kirby Allen would build for us! There are lots of calibers, and reasons for them, but Kirby's selections are impeccable.

    Gun Collection Conundrum?

    I growl at my self, all the time, about stuff like that. But, honestly, I still regret the sale of the only gun I've ever sold. I've given away a few, and I don't regret that. I, or WE, have two wonderful sons. They are both accomplished hunters and shooters. They can share my "legacy"...

    A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

    BigDon, that $12,500 bid to remove and replace, doesn't sound very good. My 20 kw Kohler generator cost $8,481.24, and that includes the generator, Transfer Switch, carb heater, 12 starting battery, and sales tax. It also cost $1600 for my plumber to run the natural gas line, and $2,300 for my...

    10mm handgun

    The bear attack video was SUPER food for thought! My wife watched the entire video with me. She said it's just like you've always told me, "If you ever HAVE TO PROTECT YOURSELF, you have to get MAD DOG MEAN, and SUPER FOCUSED!"

    A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

    I studied up on the generator subject before buying the Kohler. The consensus I got was that Kohler and Cummins (Onan) are the two best. My dealer, here in Boise, said parts for Kohler are the most accessible.

    A Bit Off of the Usual Topics, but….

    We talked about whole house generators on another thread. I had a Kohler 20 KW generator installed in December. I now feel more comfortable about being prepared for almost anything. My generator just sits there, ready. And it's comforting when it fires up automatically, every two weeks, for a...
