WELCOME TO OUR ONE-AND-ONLY ANNUAL ISSUE DEDICATED TO THE GUYS. This is a veritable Bro Fest (or what passes for one these days in our neck of the woods). In these pages we share stories and photos that we hope EVERYBODY finds appealing because we have such a plethora of local talent in our midst. In the lead story featuring the impeccable photographic talents of our editor, Stephen Neilson, we examine a group of guys from Lake Barrington, Lake Zurich and North Barrington who make stuff. It’s all pretty cool since it includes pinball machines, up-cycled baseball gloves and a clever measuring device for anybody’s tool kit. Also featured this month is an interview with Tom Oar, widely known for his long stint on the History Channel show, "Mountain Men". Also here is a story about a collection of to-die-for golf destinations that covers a worldwide gamut of experiences (some that you know and others that are totally drool-worthy).

indoor and outdoor units connected by copper tubing and wiring. Having a system in good operating order is vital to comfort, efficiency and keeping utility bills in check, Martin says. Outdoors there’s a condenser coil, compressor, fan, motor and electronics. For indoors—either a furnace or a fan coil—there’s typically an evaporator coil, blower fan and motor, and air filter. With help from the outdoor compressor a chemical refrigerant circulates between the indoor and outdoor units in copper tubing. Heat is pulled from indoor air though the evaporator coil and exits the system through the outdoor condensing coil. Cooler air is blown into the home through ductwork. Regular AC maintenance minimizes many issues caused by dirt and debris. An HVAC technician will check for longer-term issues, and if need be, take steps to prevent premature failure or breakdowns during the cooling

“I usually dropped a finger in my bull rope, which meant that your hand was locked into the rope,” Tom explains. “The moment the chute opened, there was some big eruption.” Skulls of man and beast collided, knocking Tom into unconsciousness. Bound tightly by the rope across the middle of the bull’s back, Tom’s hand pinned him to the thrashing animal. “So now my legs and stuff are underneath his hind legs … he’s bucking and stepping on me quite hard.” He admits it is the closest he ever came to death inside a rodeo arena.

thrills, the rise and a fall of a mountain feeds the soul of a man yearning for peace. “Nancy and I would come up to Montana in the summertime and go rodeoing out here,” he says. The appeal of the Wild West beckoned, and they loaded all of their possessions into an old pickup truck. Interestingly, the truck they used to begin their life in Montana was bought with money earned from muskrat pelts, a small hint at the future that lay in store for the Oars. “We had no idea what we were getting into or how I was gonna make a living out here. But I just had a feeling that, by God, I can do it. I can get it done.”

It would just take a little bit more luck to turn his tanning into a lucrative business. “Black Powder Rendezvous, they called them,” Tom says. “They were recreations of the old fur-trade days in the Rocky Mountains when all the trappers would meet in one spot.”
Feeling well at home amongst this like-minded crowd of mountain men, he finally discovered a niche for his handmade wares. And when Tom does something, he is certain to do it well. “The most prestigious clothing that you could wear at one of these rendezvous is brain-tanned buckskin clothing,” he says. Patrons immediately sensed the incomparable quality of the brain-tanned hides Tom provided, and the hides began to sell at a remarkable rate. Tom found his peace. Together, Tom and Nancy defied the odds. Danger lurked, isolation taunted, and the bitter chill of Montana winter bore down upon them;

When asked how he copes with the steady current of visitors making the trek to his property each summer, he just shrugs and confesses he would rather people like him than hate him. At the age of 76, he continues to toil endlessly on his craft and their survival in the mountains. “Amazing life,” he surmises. “I’ve enjoyed every bit of it. And as long as I can still do it, hell, I’m gonna do it.”
