Where’s The Beef?

January 31, 2011

 
Geez, add a little filler, some seasoning and consistency products and the whole world claims your tacos aren’t made with beef. That’s the hubbub surrounding Taco Bell these days. An advocacy group claims the meat isn’t meat and Taco Bell claims the added ingredients enhance the beef that is in the filler. All I can [...]

Look For These Products

January 25, 2011

I’m back in from a successful SHOT Show in beautiful and well-lit Las Vegas. The show itself was the third most attended event in its history with 57,390 industry and media members attending. I was there and trust me; it looked like 57,000 people were crammed into the large event center.
Here are a couple of [...]

It’s About Time

I’m in flight to Sin City for the annual Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade Show. It’s called SHOT for short and believe me, after several days I’m shot from walking around and meeting with the dozens of manufacturers who help me annually.

January 11, 2011

It’s wicked cold here in the West and from the looks of national weather maps everyone is getting a taste of the cold this winter. Hunting in severe cold weather requires special planning with clothing, gear and tactics. I layer myself with clothing like Under Armour Coldgear (www.underarmour.com) and make sure my guns are lightly [...]

Reminders

January 7, 2011

Our lives are full of reminders. My reminders are scribbled on pieces of paper scattered across my desk. Change oil on the truck, move hay, set up electronic caller, attend winter concert and others all keep me organized, and on schedule; well at least most of the time.
Here’s a reminder to you and me. It’s [...]

California Dreaming

January 4, 2011

I’m fresh in from a few days off spending time with my family in sunny California. It was sunny save for one day when the clouds unleashed a torrent of tropical rain. We didn’t mind though. It made the lines shorter in Disneyland. My son rode the giant roller coaster four times in a row [...]
