I WAS WRONG!!! (about knots) YOU MAY BE WRONG TOO (video)
Years ago a friend and I had an argument about terminal knots. Palomar vs Improved Clinch. THIS IS NOT ABOUT EITHER OF THOSE KNOTS! He was adamant that the palomar knot was the best, period, end of discussion. Having started with a clinch knot and later graduating to an improved clinch knot at a very…

What Happened to The Fishing Reports ???
As you might have noticed the last several articles and write ups have been about shooting or tackle making. I’ve actually been out a couple times since the last fishing report, but they were nothing special. 5-6 fish. Average 2 pounders. Big fish at 2-1/2. I haven’t found an on-fire fall wolf pack, but I…

I bought “yet another” Machine
Yes, it is another CNC machine, but I probably will not be making molds with it. Its a gantry style CNC machine sometimes called a bridge mill. Its less about the rigidity required for efficiently machining metal, and more about the larger foot print for machining sheet goods. This one has a working envelope of…
Button Panel Roasted By The Sun – V176 Magnum 2002
Button Panel Roasted By The Sun – V176 Magnum 2002 A buddy of mine has completely quit fishing and he offered me his 2002 Triton V176 Magnum for very little with its Johnson 90. The carbs were totally gunked up which was no surprise. I’ve cleaned carbs before. This Johnson has something I haven’t seen…
“It’s Just For Personal Use” is NOT a Loop Hole
If you are copying somebody else work, you are still copying somebody else’s work. I don’t care why or what excuse or what loophole you want to use. “It’s just for personal use,” is still infringing on their work. My company policy is I will not knowingly make a copy of somebody else’s non-generic current…

Plug, keys, safety equipment, lunch, beverages, trailer connections, straps and hooks secured, fishing gear, hunting gear, camera, cell phone, radio, spare tire, etc, etc, This should be a list of things you should check and make sure you have before you hit the road, and then maybe a second list to double check before you…
That big old wind skirt – 2024 F250 FX4
That big old wind skirt. I know many people will have an “opinion,” but I am hoping for a response with somebody who actually “did the math.” (For those who may be literally challenged that is editorial license.) I’d like to hear from somebody who got reasonable mileage numbers over at least a few hundred…
At One Of These Spots – THE TEST
I have not been fishing much lately due to… well an abnormal number of adult responsibilities. I complained recently to my doctor about a high level of irritability, and he said I should go fishing more. I have an actual official medical recommendation to go fishing more. I took my doctors advice and I went….
“BEST” Duramax Mechanic… Maybe not in Yuma.
“BEST” Duramax Mechanic… Maybe not in Yuma. I asked for the best Duramax Mechanic here in Yuma on NextDoor, Facebook, and a couple other social media sites. Basically, no answer. Of course I researched local shops and read reviews. Something I often hear is “everybody makes mistakes,” or “You can’t please everybody,” as an excuse…
Working With Lead
Some people underestimate or ignore the risks associated with using lead and working with it to make various things. Others overreact with fear mongering and scare tactics in an attempt to intimidate people into total avoidance. The truth is somewhere in between, and the best approach is always education and personal choice. I’ve assembled a…
