    Mechanical and Civil Engineering

    There’s some great suggestions here. If leaning towards Civil, consider Mining Engineering. It’s a great field in high demand, lots of internship and scholarship opportunities, and many jobs in the western US. I’ve worked in mine planning, environmental permitting, major projects, operations...

    Kids braces!

    $6500 per kid, before insurance. Our orthodontist offers either Invisalign or wire braces for the same price. My daughter was thrilled to not have wires and it did a great job.

    Southwest Colorado things to do, places to eat?

    Baked in Bayfield is a gem for breakfast or lunch. Woody does a fantastic job and has a variety of goodies to take with you for later. Carvers and El Moro in Durango are also good stops. If you want something low key, we like Serious Texas BBQ and Zia.

    We have 3 RTIC soft sides of different sizes. I use the small one daily for my lunch. Good durability, good ice retention, reasonable cost.

    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    ‘23 Tundra Limited, TRD off road. 36k trouble free miles. I use it in the pit at a coal mine so it sees plenty of harsh conditions. Time will tell on reliability, but my last truck was a ‘20 Ram 1500 and it had been in the shop twice at this point. Emissions rules have certainly added...

    My Crispi Colorados have a similar fit to the Lowas I’ve used extensively, including Tibets.

    A tag in the hand vs secondary draw?

    It’s all part of the adventure and experience. I’ve driven overnight many times between CO/NM and East TX. Even my kids can hang for 16 hrs straight (but they’ve been doing it most of their lives).

    Have you moved out of state?

    If you want to try it, just do it. Born in KS, but my folks moved often. I went to 3 high schools in three states. It prepared me well for a career in mining. As an adult, I went to college in MO, moved to TX, CO, back to Mo, then IL and now NM. There’s great things to be found in most every...

    Colorado draw results 2024

    As expected, both kids drew ES archery deer. This will be their first time with bow tags. I’ll have a bear tag in hand, so should be fun.

    Solo Campfire

    Typically not. Even when with a small group, we’re generally tired enough to not mess with one. I love one when just camping or fishing, but it’s rarely a priority when hunting. I’ve never really considered why.

    NM landowner tags under fire

    Let’s examine this another way. We currently have a program that increases carrying capacity through habitat development, conservation, and tolerance. But the cosst of this program is funded by a market based system that some don’t like and mistakenly believe that blowing the system up will...

    NM landowner tags under fire

    There’s a lot of ignorant comments on here from folks who have taken no time to understand the program before wanting to blow it up. It seems most who think it should be done away with have zero idea of the benefits E-Plus provides to the herds and other wildlife. A ranch must provide habitat...

    New Truck--Dependability

    I had my 2020 Ram 1500 in for warranty 5 times and traded at 107k. 2023 Tundra is trouble free at 32k, and we’ll see how it does long term.
