My father, “Pops”, was a welder by trade, as was his father. Both did far more than just weld, being from the same stock that built this country into the great powerhouse that it once was. Rare was the time either my dad or granddad would call out someone to repair or build something for […]

With the recent string of attacks on our Second Amendment freedoms, the supply and demand model has reared it’s ugly head. With the possibility of removing or simply restricting our freedoms to own and use firearms, everyone that ever thought of getting a gun has come out of the woodwork and started a feeding frenzy. […]

SALESMAN OF THE YEAR – An Opinion on Gun Control
I was working on a post when I stumbled upon an article that not only caught my attention, I couldn’t stop reading it. The author was well versed in what he spoke about, and what he wasn’t an expert on, he didn’t offer any input – he wasn’t going to “guess”. The article is steeped […]
