Remember when Israel gave us the super valuable Intel that Iraq had WMDs? That was definitely worth 5 CIAs...

My favorite part about Israel is how they help send Muslim refugees to the west, really greatful for that.

I don't know what the correct percentage is but more kids should be in vocational schools learning a trade. We need more electricians--not more barristas at Starbucks. We definitely do not need anymore college graduates with, for example, a basically useless communications degree.

Every kid should graduate high school (including votech) with the ability to proficiently read, write and perform math. They should understand our government and our history.

They should learn to think critically--good luck here. The right nuts and left nuts in government, on the school boards and many of the parents cannot pull critical thinking off for themselves.

In the 50's no one thought that photos of fur bearers were important enough to take photos in my area. I have some glued in my mind but I am the only one who can see them......jk

Sorry Chad no experience with the Still line however we've done well with Husqvarna / Husky products , from chainsaws , weedeaters , push mowers and even a rider .

I'm sure the Still line will be as good a repair shop near by is a important part for when things go south no matter who made it .

Years ago we had an old chevy truck that we only used for work. It was an older truck but still ran good and didnt look bad to see it. It sat a lot and was only used occasonally. It needed some maintenance work oil change/ tune up etc. so I took it to a local garage.

That day I was out in the field working an hour or more away from home and I got a phone call from the mechanic. He was an older man and he started the conversation by reading me the riot act on the phone and using some choice words. I was a bit taken back but listened to him.

Obviously there had been a large mature black rat snake up in that trucks hood interior where there was some insulation. It decided to emerge and hang down as they commonly do after the hood had been open during the repair work.

Those rat snakes love to crawl into those types of tight spots for the radiant heat source they provide and the mice that nest there.

The mechanic was leaning over inside the motor housing changing plugs and felt this thing touching his back and shoulder area. He didnt seem to think much of it at first. I guess he thought it was some insulation that had fallen down. Well it turned out to be that snake and he freaked out.

Too funny to us but he had a great fear for snakes which made the experience even more startling for him. He mentions that experience every now and then to me when I see him.

both small furrier businesses and big fur coat factories here offer redesign of old fur coats. As long as the leather is fine, fur coats can be remodeled and repurposed. Some furs, especially formaldehyde-tanned such as swakara, last forever. Sometimes new fur is added as trim or to replace old worn out parts. Dyeing is also a thing. Lots of money in it.

this one is made of mink foreheads, inexpensive originally but still worth remodeling:

I'm not an ADC guy, but the wife has had a Maverick for two-ish years, 20,000 or so miles. We are happy with it. For a little "truck", its pretty impressive.

I have no idea what type of racks may be available for it. We get about 30mpg, keeping it 75 or below on the freeway.

A friend has one and tows a small fishing boat with it, he's happy also.

There was a post on Iowa Trapper Talk back in December that seemed to confirm that he was still living. Sounds like he's not trapping as hard as he used to. I see that Mr Plueger hasn't been on here for a few years.

He said in his letter than he was half black, and was a Christian....


I'll check again with my former Army Colonel source who has read the shooter's manifesto and his other sources that says the guy is half Arab. There are black Arabs but we'll see.

Do people think that have looney tune wannabes can't talk out of both sides of their mouths at the same time..?

A bad hip will definitely throw you off...when you go for a consultation for a knee replacement, they'll tell you it may be the hip going bad, and recommend fixing that first, and the back also suffers from the imbalance....

backroadsarcher if you sold one what would you have to have. I'm not asking you to sell one just wondering what price/value you would need to part with one.

Unless he means the tall 12” fancy ones, I guess those are dolls.
I wish I never got rid of my old Joes, and they’re not at garage sales anymore. They may be worth hundreds of dollars, but it’s finding the right person that’ll shell out that money for them is the problem.

You fellers still play with them?...lol

Yall mighty defensive about them being referred to as dolls.

Are Barbie & Ken action figures?

I will take a stab at this.The first batch you made with the purchased castor sounds like it was dried and then sent through a food processor. No way of telling where these castors originated from or how they were handled. There for having a different smell than your second batch. I personally do not like to tincture castor if Im making beaver lure. I leave everything at full strength. The amount of drying time will make a big difference in odor also.
