It’s only been 13 years since the very last Yuma Pro Am event, and I am already unloading the tables and chairs from my “event” trailer. Some of you who might complain that those tables and chairs have been in there all this time are wrong. Only most of them have been in there all…
FMI: https://www.facebook.com/FOCNWR Friends of Cibola NWR January4at10:01AM· “Good morning Everyone This is a friendly notification that a fire broke out last night on the Island Unit Levee road across from Walter’s Camp. Personnel are currently on scene fighting the fire and are informing folks that the Island Unit levee Road South of the Island Unit…
… and that’s why I haven’t posted any fishing related material in a little while. Holidays, a bug before Christmas, lots of work to do, etc etc… Probably the biggest thing I’ve accomplished in the last few days was brute forcing some old hard as a rock dry rotted tires off the rims on my…
The first part of last week and that weekend I had a pretty nasty bug. I was only good for a half day of work at best. By Monday I started letting customers know anything that hadn’t already shipped just wasn’t going to get shipped until after Christmas. Maybe after New Years, but by Tuesday…
From: Arizona Outdoors Desert Southwest – Arizona Game & Fish Department The construction of the Fisher’s Landing boat ramp extension is finally here! 🎉 Construction is scheduled to begin on Jan. 5, 2026 and will be completed by the end of the month. Both the north and south ramps at Fisher’s Landing will be closed…
For those who don’t know “sans,” means without. I’ve been working on all kinds of things, and I spent a week in Maui last month before Thanksgiving. Didn’t do any fishing, but I did visit a couple tackle shops and give away some CNC Molds N Stuff Company swag. Hats, stickers, etc. While I was…
I’ve been selling off “stuff” lately if you read my post Just Stuff – Busy These Days. One of the things I was selling was an older Ford Ranger Pickup. Had one interested party was going to come and bring cash, bur then they messaged me they wanted me to pay $40 for some vehicle…
I’ve been putting extra stuff up for sale on line. Bauer SDS MAX rotary hammer from my dad’s stuff sold for a fair price. Lots of people wanted it, “screw you cheap,” but a local handyman was happy to get it for the price I was asking. I have a heavier Milwaukee spline drive, and…
There will be plenty of people come along hoping for that big sponsor money trying to tell you how wonderful it is and everything it will do. They are welcome to see how much sell out money they can get, but I’m not into that. I paid full price for my X5 from Amazon. No…
I meant to post this in yesterday’s update. I bought Whisker Seeker from Gary during the Covid shutdown. He gave me a bill of sale on it, and I was able to transfer ownership of the boat, but the title was in his safe deposit box at the bank. When things started opening up again…
The Internet is absolutely what makes many small maker businesses possible. Without it, I’d probably never have gotten into mold making, and even if I had I’d be relegated to advertising in the classifieds in the back of trade and hobby magazines.I do trade worldwide because of the Internet. I have customers from Australia and…
Many years ago I worked for a rural telephone carrier. It was good and bad. Technically I learned a lot, but as a job it turned out to not be so great. I was told it was a job that would grow, but that never happened. I was told they would send me to training…
I deactivated an internal statistics plugin with the blog script I am running for the site. The site appears to be noticeably faster now. I’ll just have to go back to looking at the stats at the server level. If you use a Word Press script I suggest you do not use the WP…
If you know somebody who has a tackle business do you kind of EXPECT them to give you free baits from time to time? If a “buddy” knows how to do something and he helps you out, do you kind of expect it? Do you expect people to trade with you because you are a…
I had a member of the old forum reach out to me because I had not posted here in a while. I haven’t had much to write, and I didn’t want to fill the blog up with garbage posts. I have only been out fishing a couple times, and it was no big deal. Dave…
As you can probably see I have added social media buttons to the blog. If you like the content I post and share it on your favorite social media platforms it may influence the type of content I share on this site and the articles I write. I’ll probably always post whatever I am working…
NEW UPDATE June 29 2024: It looks like boats (vehicles used soley on water) and rail craft me in fact not be covered by these changes. I will wait and see. Politicians are good at changing things. UPDATE: After writing this short note about the new statute I posted a link to it on several…
Since eliminating the forum overall traffic has dropped from when the forum was public, but not that much from after the forum was taken private. There was lower traffic initially after the format change, but it has been growing back up towards the same levels as when the forum was still online.
Join Rumble. Its maybe not 100% uncensored, but its 500% better than YouTube. https://rumble.com/register/JustAnotherGunGuy/ You might notice when I post a fishing, tackle making, etc video here I always post the link from one of my Rumble channels. Most of the time I also post the exact same video on the same or similar name…
NEW PHONE. Most of my contacts did not update. If you want me to have your number text me and tell me who you are. If not, that’s okay too.
This is generally what I do for international shipping because its easiest for me. I have a good relationship with my local mail carriers. When I have packages going out I leave them a note in the mailbox. They come up to the shop and pick them up. It is not necessarily the cheapest, but…
The data base for the shopping cart for CNC Molds N Stuff appears to have been corrupted. Please just use the search function or contact me using the contact form on the website if you are looking for something and can’t find it. www.CNCMOLDS.com
An associate, dare I say friend, sent me this photo. Les Neidig is the now retired owner of Able Security. (I’m the partially retired owner of The Security Consultant). We still chat from time to time on one of the security groups. It came up that while I was neck deep in alligators he was…
It looks like Salt River Project is in the process of planning a storage battery like in the Salt River / Roosevelt Lake area. The way it’s described in the article at the link below is they will pump water into the lake in the daytime when solar energy is abundant and release it back…
I’ve been a little busy for the last few weeks. My dad passed away, and my mom isn’t quite up to living on her own so we moved her in with us. This comes with the usual expected emotional turmoil as well as quite a lot of additional responsibilities. This hasn’t left a lot of…
Regrets: Not many. I don’t regret calling an asshole an asshole even if the asshole was a better fighter than me and more prone to start one. LOL. Yeah, my leg got broke in a motorcycle accident, but my nose didn’t. LOL. I have one regret though that I think about from time to time….
There was a story floating around one of the neighborhood social media sights claiming Arizona had made right turn on red illegal. I even found several grey news sights that had picked up the story. LOOKS LIKE FAKE NEWS. It looks like the “no right on red” was a lie started by somebody in Indiana….
Really, I planned to take off and go do fun things today. Well the house isn’t caught back up after the holiday, so I told myself, I’ll do a couple chores first, then I’ll go finish outfitting my boat for the coming (*) tournament season, and take the afternoon to go fishing. I didn’t make…
As I am sure you are aware, Bass Pro Shops owns Cabelas. You should be aware that they are a privately held company. With just Bass Pro and Cabelas they control a huge share of the market. If you are up on these things you may be aware that regulator grumbling probably prevented the takeover…
Unlike almost every other time I went to Vegas I had money in my pocket and credit cards with an available balance. I was struck with how every single thing costs. I don’t mean things are expensive ($11 for a domestic beer in a bar), but that every single little thing costs. A couple years…
I’ll be dragging Bar Hopper over to the shop soon to do a first unboxing and assembly video (maybe a couple) of the Twister surface drive. The new motor to go on it was ordered a few days ago. I am about 75% decided to take the 50HP Merc off The Tin Can and install…
You might have noticed there is no place for comments. The spam was brutal. Moderating all comments didn’t help. It only took me a day or two to realize spending hours per day deleting moderated SPAM wasn’t going to cut it. If you have a need to contact me use the Contact Us page on…
Below is an old rant worthy of reposting. If you don’t want to read a rant stop when you get to *** RANT MODE ON *** below. Sometimes people surprise me. A while back an old Yuma Bass Man member (there is no membership anymore) gave me an old trolling motor to do with what…
Many of the resources of the old original website will be renewed. Places to go Fishing in Yuma, Boats and boating, etc. As a result if you have been a long time follower you may see things pop up in the feed you have seen before. Most will be rewritten in a modified format with…
Check back often. I’ll try to add something new every few days. Every day if I am doing lots of stuff. I dumped the old forum based site some time ago, and spent the last year trying out a simple flat file blog script. It’s just not working for me, and I’ve had to restore…
