    Meopta vs Swarovski

    I think it's a toss-up. I have the Meopta and hunting buddy has the Swaro and neither of us can really see a discernible difference. I think it just comes down to personal preference and ergonomics, and frankly, budget. Swaro I think is lighter and maybe a bit more "user-friendly," but at a...

    Hot Tub?

    Yikes, 106? That's cookin'! We have one and in winter I like it set at 101, maybe 102 when it's really cold out. I keep it around 98 or so (body temp) in the summer, it's refreshing when outside temps and humidity are really high. To each, his own, I guess!

    Pre-Post retirement Budgeting

    I get it, I know it will be hard for me. It totally goes against my grain and lifestyle thinking. Have to force myself to loosen up. It's not like my wife and I have been/are stingy; we helped put two daughters through college and graduate schools, paid for their weddings, give 10-12% of our...

    I will retire at the end of August this year; most recently, 15 years of fed government (AF civilian) preceded by 20 years in private sector. Wife of 35 years and I have always lived WAY below our means; I was blessed to be raised in a frugal household and it caught on with me. Wife didn't...

    SLC 15x56 vs Meopta Meostar 15x56 vs EL 12x50

    The VAST majority of the research and opinions I've read say the Swaro is the best 15x and the Meopta a very close second, if not an equivalent. My experience comparing my Meopta with buddy's Swaro proves that out, at least to my eyes. I'd think the Meopta would be better than the Zeiss and...

    Aspens in SW CO Around October 1?

    Hey guys. Wife and I might be making a trip out to southwest Colorado around the first of October. Roughly around Gunnison down to San Juan NF. Will aspens in those areas still be holding their leaves? Scenery should be real pretty still? Thanks in advance.
