    Sea/Lake Food

    Excellent deal! The best chili I ever had was Carroll Shelby's Texas chili. Still available now. Comes in a little paper bag. I can't eat it anymore though. Too tough on my tummy. :sneaky:

    What rifle to scope for hunting?

    Yeah, I've seen some videos of that. Around here, the hog hunters seem to like night hunting with NV/IR scopes on suppressed rifles at a couple hundred yards. As for me, I'm more of a traditionalist. I dug around and found pix of my old Winchester Model 100.

    What rifle to scope for hunting?

    I had a Winchester Model 100 semi-auto in .308 and the recoil from that rifle was lighter than from my old .30-30. We did a camo job on it and it turned out beautiful. Scoped it too. Great gun. I bet it would work well with a reticle type optic for quick sighting.

    Nobody fishing?

    This afternoon we got the KF out on the water for the first fishing trip in a long time. The Garmin Striker Plus 4 worked great after being moved from the trolling motor to the helm console with the transducer at the stern. On future trips, we're going to map the lake. :D And the new (to...

    I have returned... with a Starcraft this time!

    Got the Garmin moved! :cool: Haven't had a chance to take it on the water yet, but I definitely like having the head unit on the console and the transducer at the stern. Not that it means that I'll have to buy a second unit to mount on the bow later. Or something. 😁 From 11-4-23

    1976 Starcraft Chieftain 18' OB - restomod

    Hi guys! Looks like I'll be getting back to work on the Chief tomorrow morning. :D This evening I started reviewing my prior work and where we were when I left off and realized that I'd not kept everything up to date here, so I'll give a brief update now.

    Nobody fishing?

    Yeah, going fishing with us has made a big difference in his life. Otherwise, he just stays home, works on puzzles and gets bored silly. I'm happy to bring him along. Last week, we tested getting him up into my boat so that we could get out on the water. He got in there, but it was a major...

    Went back to the ol' fishin' hole last evening and my buddy hit it big! :D And a few weeks ago, the boy got a 5.2 pounder. His personal best too!
