    Mailman rides to Skull Valley Arizona 💀 a beautiful place with a murderous history.

    Ok…Ok…..off I go then….😉 Arizona loves its colorful names….Tombstone the town too tough to die, Big Bug Creek, Horse Thief Basin, Bloody Basin, Hells Canyon and on and on…but if you look a little deeper into their history, you usually find out they got that name for a reason.

    Knives and other things

    I’ve had a small bunch of knives that I’ve been hanging on to for most of my life and I decided to get them out, clean them up, dig up whatever info on them I could find and give them to my oldest son……so he can throw them in a drawer and forget about them. 😆 But I had some fun doing this and...

    New tail lamps cost a man $5600 😬

    Not quite a year ago, I cracked the tail light lens on my Suzuki and was shocked to find out that a replacement would nick me $350! Just like in modern cars, it is not simply a lens, it’s a whole complete housing, with a panel of LED’s and accompanying circuitry. I decided to repair it myself...
