My thought exactly. You need to get down to two rifles. Go with the .300/.375.

I not sure I understand your point. Having lived in Alaska and run an oil refinery there, I wasn’t aware of any subsidies. In fact, the permanent fund dividend made it seem like the oil industry was subsidizing Alaska residency. What am I missing?

We drained a bottle of 23 year pappy at a deal closing years ago. It’s very nice, but there is no way it is worth the price. Stick to Buffalo Trace!

Sorry guys. Googling and AH’ng at the same time. Corn is sprayed, soon time to hit the sorghum.

Atrazine rate on sorghum

Really nothing. He still promotes conservation through hunting and leads an aggressive anti poaching campaign. What has irritated some is his effort to get hunters to clean up their social media, more focus on conservation and education and less focus on dead critters. Although I am guilty of...

Exactly. They are great to work with.

When we lived in Kenai our son played for a hockey team in Anchorage. We got to know that road well in the dead of winter!

If you’re departing out of Whittier, don’t spend any extra time there. The locals swap the W with an S when they pronounce it. It is very appropriate. However, if you are departing out of Seward, consider some extra time. The Kenai fjords tour is fantastic, the sea life center is worth a...

I spent way too much money there over the years!

Botswana is a special place. I’ve hunted with Bronwyn’s husband Werner twice, but not since they took over management of Bokamosa. I assume that he was guiding some of the other guys in your group?

I’ve spent a lot of time in Anchorage on business when living in Fairbanks and Kenai. Breakfast can be awesome in Alaska. The Snow City Cafe always had a great breakfast. Simon’s & Seafort’s was the best seafood restaurant in town. The double Muskie in girdwood is worth the drive. While...

He absolutely does. He is hated by a large percentage of Canadians. Anyone who acts like Trump, likes Trump, or is liked by Trump is politically doomed in Canada. Somewhat ridiculous I know, but it is absolutely true that Trump impacted the Canadian elections.

I had gun sleeves made From an eland hide. Beautiful leather, perfect for that sort of application.

Looks fantastic!

You are very welcome. I hope it gives you many years of good service.

9.2 mm and 5,300 joules. That’s roughly 2,480 fps with a 286 gr bullet. Admittedly, factory loads I am aware of do not meet this threshold, however, it’s a pretty easy mark for a hand loader.

Congrats sir! You now officially have the Africa bug!

As I understand your regulations, that is not accurate. Your limit is bullet diameter and energy, not cartridge specification. A 9.3x62 loaded to minimum energy levels, which is very possible, meets the Zim requirements. Otherwise, Don Heath’s work in this regard was in vain.

Here’s a pic of my son packing out a brown bear hide and skull. May not look like much in volume, but weight wise that’s a load!

Nothing else comes close. When they were adjusting it for me at Barney’s, the salesman had me carrying him around the store with it. If you get over to Anchorage, you should take the pack to Barney’s and have them adjust it for you.

Curious, does anyone know if a sitting president has had his picture put on currency, or is this a first?

Yep, manual disconnect, then after restart, manual connect which is where the phase alignment came in.

All I remember is the dial indicator. You’re taking me back 26 or 27 years.

Ouch!

Question for you, years ago I ran an oil refinery in Wyoming. Main power came in off the grid, but we had one diesel generator driven by an old submarine engine, and three big gas driven waukeshaws. When we would bring a waukeshaw online we had phase indicators and manually switched them into...

Agreed!!! I was way over my skis on this one. Glad an expert jumped in to clarify!

I should have mentioned that this is a very high end solution. Basically a commercial grade unit but a quick check on pricing is pretty attractive.

He settled on a Briggs & Stratton Fortress 20 kw, 993 cc vanguard, propane with an intelligence series automatic 200 amp switch. He runs it off a 350 gal propane tank. He spec’d every component and handled the install himself. Generac has the advantage of being a one stop shop. Where I...

One of my old project managers did an in depth analysis and selected an alternate. Generac did not fare well in his comparison. This is the guy that extended the port of Anchorage oil facilities for me so I trust his work. I’ll ask him to send it over and share the highlights with you guys.

Somehow you and ‘low profile’ are not lining up in my head…

Do some homework before buying generac. There are other alternatives that may be more reliable and less expensive. Generac has a very effective marketing team.

It is tricky, I.e. expensive, to automatically sync those big units in and out. I’ll bet it is exactly what you suggest. My guess is that they have to let the grid get back up and stable, bring those units up, and then they have sync switching capability to bring them back in.

LOL, none of us think we’re peppers, but we are all far more prepared than the average bear. My guess is that the world considers us preppers, and we consider ourselves rationally prepared for likely scenarios.

I wonder if their switching system creates a backfeed concern? Those waukesha’s have to be synced to the grid. Going in and out can be tricky on large units. I’ve used the bang poles to link a refinery back in in an emergency. Serious pucker factor, bang pole or not.

Check Costco. If you don’t mind manual switching on your power feed, they sell multi fuel generators that I suspect will handle your load at sub $1,000 pricing. I’m looking to pick one up and hook it to my propane tank. That would give me a very extended alternate power supply.

Ah yes, it would take a looong time for me to run out of whiskey or wine! Our wine cellar is embarrassing. The other day I found a 2012 Ridge Monte Bello I had completely forgotten about.

We are similar, but living on a farm we probably have a years supply of food canned and frozen. My generator will keep everything running so the food won’t thaw and the well keeps pumping. My FJ40 is unstoppable and has no computer chip to fry. The big joke with our friends is that in a...

My great uncle was one of the Canadians who held the line at the second battle of Ypres. Don’t tell me we have no guts. Keep your insults focused on the intended target.

Likewise from your end sir!

It’s yours sir. Thank you.

Shelby AC Cobra, 24 hours of LeMans, 1964 and 1965, after which they changed the rules so that those nasty Americans couldn’t embarrass Ferrari again.

What a great adventure, congratulations!

I want a mount for a suppressed AR in my ‘69 FJ40. I need fast access as it is my work vehicle on the farm. However, it has to lock as I take the rig into town. It’s an open platform. Thoughts?
