The other love of your life

Relationships are obvious: wife, kids... Objects, property, non-guns, I'll just list two. The first is actually several and they are temporary. I love that I live where toys are needed, and I love the toys I have: an Argo, several snowmachines, a raft, a skiff. Using themselves me joy.

The other is my 5.5 acres of heaven. I was fortunate enough to be drawn in a land lottery several years ago. I was able to select and stake out land in a remote area on a picturesque Alaskan lake - very much a wilderness setting. Over the last few years I have been building my cabin. It's a combination steel quonset with timber framing. I am NOT a builder so it's been a matter of YouTubing steps and then trial and error making it work. It is still a work in progress. It probably brings me as much joy as anything I own, and I anticipate that feeling growing in the years to come. These photos are from a trip in October.

Beautiful! Is that an F series Yamaha 4 stroke? I just put one on one of our boats.
Yes. I've had it almost three years now, and I've been very pleased with it. I'm sure you'll like yours too.
 
Can anyone put a date to this little jeep? I dont know jeeps at all.
This may help.

I am into boats too, this is a Windy 22HC, norwegian made, powered by a 6 cyl. Volvo Penta turbo diesel...we use it to get out in the archipelago during summer...used to sail but too cumbersome with dogs..

Hello,

I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any additional pics of the .416 Rem mag?

Thank you.

Hello, I saw your post selling left hand rifles. Do you have any other left hand rifles you may let go of? Also can you send a few additional pics of Borden rifle?
