If you need any gardening help, let me know. I have a gun, but don't hunt and I like to hike, but not uphill, other than that, just ask around. I am sure someone will have an answer.

Welcome to the neighborhood Arlen! Congrats on retirement; it seems everyone I know who retires get busier!

I hope we'll see some photos from your wife posted on here - we love seeing pictures!

Model Ts? Do you have one or restore them? I love talking cars!

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

I have a 1925 Model T roadster which I restored several years ago. It is not a very serviceable mountain vehicle but it is wonderful to drive on flatland roads.

I need to know if it is legal to open carry a pistol in the Pike National Forest while hiking?

Howdy! Congrats on your successful retirement and having four kids stand up on their own and be successful adults in a very difficult economy! Glad to see more people joining 285 bound!

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
