    Overland Journal: Holiday Offer

    Scott, I'm mailing to OJ this afternoon gift subscriptions for three friends. Since these will not begin until the 'Gear Issue' do notes go out to the recipients, or should I just drop a card in the mail to each? Also, if I read the "Holiday Offer" correctly, I'll receive free copies of the...

    New Tom Sheppard book - Quiet for a Tuesday

    It was 'quiet for a Friday' here last night, so I sat down after dinner with a nice glass of port (well, maybe it took two) and read Sheppard's new book. It was a great read and set us to talking about our next trip. Filled with marvelous photography (some of which looked a wee bit familiar :)...

    Fish and rabbits

    Hi Wesley, I just noticed this thread. We seldom fry fish, but when we do it's: flour, egg, seasoned bread crumbs then into HOT oil. The oil is important to us. A local butcher saves beef fat for us and I take the time to 'melt' what we need for the dinner. Beef fat does not impart any...

    '08 Hunting/harvest report

    I took this bird last Monday, hung it (drawn, of course) until this morning, plucked it and finished the prep. We'll have it for dinner this evening with a nice, aged, Oregon pinot noir. Bird season has been okay, not fabulous, but okay. We had doves the first two days of the season, and I...

    Conqueror wheel bearings

    Bill, we had one of the first Conqs sold in the U.S. and ours had a bit of a bearing squeak at first. I put some caps with grease fittings and made certain they were lubed every 2k miles of travel. Ours also had a surge-braking system and it occasionally stuck after engaging. With the help of...

    Cadillac Escalade Hybrid

    This post has nothing to do with the Escalade ad, so, at the risk of being off-topic, I'll add a comment about the larger vehicles. We have our Excursion (V-10) for one reason—stuff. On our trips back and forth to our former house in Baja, there's no way that we could have carried the supplies...

    Dove season opened today

    We've had a pretty good season. Bird count seems to be up from last year (not including the influx of the Eurasian dove). Wind has been a major factor and certainly has put a premium on accurate pass-shooting. Nonetheless, we are getting limits. In fact, I can't go out this evening until we...

    Recovery?

    Perhaps this video has been posted already. If so, let me know and I'll dump this thread. This video popped up on another web site. I thought this to be a good example of the importance of working out a plan before beginning recovery. http://www.funnieststuff.net/viewmovie.php?id=935 Allen R
