It’s a silly little thing, but the night light in our bathroom was getting reluctant to turn off. Clicking the switch back and forth, this way, that way, willing it to turn off… eventually it refused.
Heck, I have another. Replaced it.
Throw it away … this is ‘Meruka, after all.
But NO. I’m me. It has a Phillips screw that appears to hold two halves of it together. Set it aside until I get around to it.
Tonight I opened it up. Figured out how it worked – and why it didn’t.
Reached in with a small […]
Highly esteemed among brass musicians are the horns Conn made in Elkhart, Indiana before the company walked away from the community and craftsmen assembled there. Among the hand-made, professional-grade trombones handcrafted in that period are the highly regarded 6Hs, which were a little bit larger in bore than was the norm at that time. They proved to be a great design with a sweet tone in all ranges and tremendous penetration for solo and jazz work.
I have read much of these and wished time, place and finances would give me the opportunity to play a few […]
I WON!!! I tripped over a long lusted after Conn 6H on e-bay that went for well-below-market value. It was a gamble on quality that turned out okay. It arrived yesterday with 3 mouthpieces … more on the horn later. This occasioned a gathering, mass cleaning and analysis of what I have in the way of mouthpieces.
I arranged them by width of the backbore and there was a steady bore shrinkage even among what I would have assumed to be identical 6 1/2 ALs.

I can hardly believe what I’m seeing. Physical silver has been almost as available as primers, powder and ammunition – that is to say having a high content of “Unobtanium”.
Today I received an e-mail containing a link to an offer I never expected to see again. Silver Eagles that have been far more rare than regular wait-12-weeks for delivery non-Eagle 1-ounce silver rounds for $26.24.
The most startling part were the words underneath: Ships within 2 – 4 business days
Gold_Silver.com have a 20 ounce minimum order much like my old friends at Northwest Territorial Mint with […]

I was asked to un-click a couple of facebook boxes in my link to a friend. I honored that request, but sent him much of the following via private message. I unchecked as you requested in fb, but didn’t post the note on my wall. I have felt for years that nothing online is private. You probably know from my blogging that I have long assumed the NSA has been collecting my data.
Intelligent people learn this and shut down – move to low profile. A small handful mount the rooftops to incessantly yell warnings at the top […]
I have a love-hate relationship with ladders and heights. The hate part seems to grow with age. There may even be some logic in that as my bones are more brittle, easier to break, harder to heal and I have enough aches to go around already.
Nevertheless, I remember not minding terribly being at the top of my 12-foot pruning ladder running a chainsaw at arms length … and having massive branches remove the ladder out from under me not once but twice .. and continuing to go up there until the entire 2.5-acre orchard was renovated. But, as […]
Saturday, September 14th from 10:00-1:00
the Bitterroot Amateur Radio Club (BARC) will be hosting an Open House at the Darby Library. There will be experts in radio, several types of ham radios set up for demonstrations, information, and signups for local classes.
If there is enough interest, BARC will offer classes with enough information that students can earn the FCC Technicians license… in the South Bitterroot at the Darby Library. All we need is a dozen of us, and the instructors will make the drive to us from Hamilton, rather than the students making the drive north for […]
While there may be some factors they left out, but this is an outstanding test. I have never been happy with my cold feet and suspect a defect in my physiological or psychological makeup. Probably not. I just buy cheap boots, not realizing the difference a few bucks well spent could make.
Thanks to these two guys, my next pair of boots will do the job.
Check out this boot test:
Field Test: Cold-Weather Hunting Boots
Boots, it could be said, are among the most critical of bowhunting equipment. Wet or frozen feet have sent many a hunter packing […]
