Welcome. I’m west of Rochester by 25 minutes.

I would encourage you to keep with it. The books are long and it takes quite an investment to stick with them but I feel so much more aware of not only that war but also of current events. Such as, why is Benghazi, Gibraltar and most of Northern Africa so important. If anyone has wondered why...

Just finishing volume 4 of Winston Churchill’s 6 volume set about WW2. Getting quite an education in the process.

I, too, have wanted to make this conversion. I have three 1909 Argentines waiting patiently to be completed and considered using one for a project just like you are. I will give you some random thoughts. First I acknowledge that this conversion has been made and I know of none that have failed...

Can I ask you which area you were in?

Mokore Ranch, Coutada 9 or Coutada 14.

I’ve been in communication with two PH’s, one in Save and the other in Bubye. I want to hunt buffalo. Possibly two buffalo. Both PH’s seem to be well received on this site; Dalton McLintock and Brian VanBlerck. This will be a 10-12 day hunt. In the Save the second buffalo is simply the cost of...
