After 35 plus years as a Union Steamfitter, I retired the day I was eligible (end of Nov 2025). Talking to my financial planner, he asked “Now what are you going to do?”. My reply was; collect my pension and stay on as a construction manager. “Why he asked?” “Because you can afford to not work”…. I didn’t have a good answer!

I’ve worked since I was 12 years old and most of that was laboring of some sort. I don’t know how not to work. I’m up everyday at 4:30am and enjoy routine. My longtime...

For some reason, don't know why, I've always been intrigued by single shots. On top of that, I love the idea of a takedown set-up that would fit in a tiny case for travel to Africa, be adequate for plains game hunts. Had a Merkel k3 many years ago in 270 win,....really liked it, but needed money at that time so I sold it, wasn't a fan of the engraving on that one either. I love the Dakota Model 10, if they made it in a takedown, I'd have one........hence my curiosity with the Blaser K95...
