I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.
10 days ago my sweetheart requested a camping trip So we loaded the camping stuff and found a spot at 10,000 ft. and stayed for 5 days. Long views, free grass, cool temps and a small patch of Morels.
It was 95 down in the low country, 72 at camp. Random? no, but enjoy anyway. Happy dogs, happy ponies, Happy wife... Win Win Win
First camping trip of the year. It was mid-May and there was still snow piled up in the shaded drifts, so we made the best of it.
Sunset over Carp Lake.
Chunk of wood my wife asked me to carve for her. It was used to display some of the home made cupcakes she supplied for her nephew's wedding reception.
Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the bug. That's the inside of my truck windshield. The 'skeeters have been so bad here that if you leave your window down even a little bit, you'll be swatting 'skeeters all the way to work and back.

Cairns along the East shorline of Mackinaw Island.
I'm on a quest this summer to catch a 10" or better bluegill. Last evening I got out and gave it another try, even though the weather was not exactly agreeable. (Best 'gill last night was 9 1/2". Close, but not close enough)

I always wondered what them things was used for. Thanks, Sam.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
I wish. It was at a swap meet in Spokane. I am thinking long and hard on a mock Dart so set up though.
I hope you build it. If you do, bring it on down here:

Junior dragsters, limited to one pretty small piston, but man they GO!
Me, just beginning my wheelstand launch out. Head's up no handicap time trials race, glad to have won this one:
Me, when it was cool enough for Leather instead of Kevlar: I don't lose to sheet metal cars much, but this guy runs in the pro class (I am in Sportsmans/beginners class/street legal stuff) and he beat my butt and good. I am hoping to make some changes to flip that around on him soon
Beautiful '57 Chevy with a supercharged big block and slicks. I was ecstatic when I beat him to the pylons, but here HE is grinning because I broke out of my dial in speed by .004 seconds! Still, a great race and loads of fun. Grreat sportsmen there, too. I hope I draw him to race again someday.

When it gets too hot to fish..... SWIM! (But good trout water is damned cold! All the time up here!)
Can't swim long with no hair or fur to speak of, but Milo the 4lb wunderpuppy had to give it a try:
Right after, he had to warm up in the camping trailer:

Sometimes the view can be just downright spectacular. Views like this, and right after, are one of the big draws for me when planning a camping trip

Nice, the area looks very much like MN BWCA/Ontario's Quetico.

The boat is a 50's era Feather brand. Had the wheel removed and use it with tiller outboard now. Works well for 3 or 4 people to fish at a time. I wouldn't want to portage that thing in, that's for sure.
Headed to the lake with the family last night, had to burn a few marshmallows and catch a few bass. Then tending the fire while it burned down and a brief storm rolled in.
