@Augie I feel your pain man. My wife and I raised our two kids here in Bozeman. They went K-12 here (great schools) and both are MSU grads. Neither can afford to live here at this point in their careers.
Where are you in MT?
I've been in something like 46 of the states - as was mentioned...
Well, this storm really made incredible improvements - Bridger Bowl got something like 22" out of the storm. Here in the valley, while it's hard to calculate because of how wet the snow was, we got something around 9"+ at our house.
Yes, I've been following your snow no's, this is a help for sure. Bear in mind, what I posted above was through midnight yesterday. It snowed here in the Gallatin all night, and is still coming down now. I'm just south of the University, and we have 7"+ on the ground, and it's going to continue...
The hate isn't coming from locals, it's coming from other Montanan's - I'll leave you to decide why that is, but I have my theory. Bozeman has it's downside, especially given a lot of the more recent move-ins, but it's still a great place to live, with generally a LOT more to offer than any...
Agreed. However, one thing I've noticed, given a few years my aesthetic objections usually simmer down and what was unacceptable starts to look ok.
My 2014 replaced a 2000 Tacoma. I'm in the same boat as @mtwarden ie, thinking of getting the new Tacoma in a couple years. Aside, one friend has a...
Hi, yes I stay in close contact with my clients. Both Meile and Thermador have performed very well. As for my own home? We have Kitchenaid, all now 11 years old. The refrigerator and range have been great, the dishwasher not so much. It cleans well, but some controls went out right after the...
Thermador makes great appliances, and make panel ready models. If a client is not up to spending Wolf/Sub Zero money, it's what I typically recommend (I build custom homes). I've also worked with Meile which are very nice too, albeit definitely a more "modernist" aesthetic.
Sub Zero has the...
OK, what threw me off was your quoted velocity. With the same load, including Lapua brass and the 165 Accubond, I get 2,735 in a 22" barrel - 46 gr's of Varget has been my go-to with various 165's for decades. I could see getting 2,640 in an 18" barrel, but not 2,740 hence my question. Does a...
That would be like comparing a Patek Philippe to a Seiko. Both are watches, and both tell time, but...
From the photos, I really like the actual MRC action. If available as just an action, and without the gold grills, I'd buy one.
I've been using the "original" Grohmann DH Russell Canadian Belt Knife for 40 years. For around $100 I'll stick with the original over some $300 copy. But more power to anyone trying to make an honest living doing something they like...
