Don’t know how I got my response in the Buckland quote box. I guess I’ll need to be more careful in the future.

Based on a couple of posts in the recent past, I thought it prudent to share a news piece that was on the local news recently: https://centraloregondaily.com/destination-oregon-train-mountain/ I’ve been to Chiloquin several times, yet didn’t know about this. If you’re passing through it might...

I’ll play. You know you’re a geezer when you remember drinking cooled water out of Desert Water Bags. When is the last time you saw one, let alone drank from one?

When I lived in Burns, Oregon, there were a couple three retired Basque shepherds living there. For the unaware, Basques were the one of the major groups of shepherds working across Eastern Oregon, Southern Idaho and Northern Nevada when range sheep were a big thing. Elsewhere too I suppose...

Somewhere on here are a couple write ups on between cab and cabover storage from a long time ago that I thought were pretty good. At least one, if not a couple described how they mounted fuel and/or water cans there. One had a write up on, IMO, a pretty fancy aluminum box for storage there. As...

Thanks all for your support and suggestions. Should you read in the news about some guy wearing bi focal Sunclouds impailed on a 6wt Loop, you’ll know how well I’ve adapted.

$4.07 for Regular in Coram/Hungry Horse Montana on 4/25. I didn’t pay attention to Diesel, sorry about that.

It finally happened, I now wear bi focal/magnifier sun glasses to fish. The “I’m a geezer” turning point came for real when my Son had to tie on my fly because I absolutely could not see the d@&# eye well enough to thread the tippet. Also learned that wearing them while walking leads to more...

As far fetched as I thought tank breaching is or rather was, it is really a thing. The two commuter vans my employer has were hit one night, much like Craig described. The thought was the thieves ran out of containers as one van was really clean and the other left a huge puddle on the asphalt...

I see on the evening news that the Senate passed a bill to stay on Daylight Saving Time. I’ll guess the House of Representatives will follow suit, then again maybe not. That’s supposed to align with something like 20 states who have already passed bills to stay on one time. I know in Oregon it...

OnX is a handy and useful App for certain. For the budget minded, (Not that OnX is really pricey) or those that need less stuff, Avenza is a good go to. The nice thing about Avenza is the free version will run a lot of free geo referenced Govt stuff. For example all the Access and Travel Mgt...

If nothing comes through, there are a couple of threads on here describing how people made their own. There isn’t that much to them. I’ll guess your’s came with the Velcro already on the liner. Good luck with your search.

#1: IMO, that’s a great story. #2: Thank you for your service.

Same up here. While the probability of a large fire is low to nil, here in Central and I’ll guess a big bit of Eastern Oregon, the agencies are experiencing wildfires already. The Fed Agencies have done some news releases about doing some prescribed fire, other than pile burning. That’s pretty...

Florida, one of the few places I’ve been where the afternoon sun physically hurts to be out in. :blink:

In addition to Kimbal, a little farther north near Chiloquin is Collier State Park. It’s right off 97, and in my opinion a pretty good logging equipment museum. What I don’t know is if the campground is open again. It got sideswiped by a forest fire in 2020. If you’re up for something off the...

72 degrees today in Redmond Oregon. Umbrellas are now celebrated as sun shades. :lol: Thanks for sharing. OPB is a treasure in my mind.

$3.99 at both the stations in Garibaldi over on Hwy 101 today.

It’s ok, you’ll get an opportunity for your column shot directly. Florida will be kicking off their prescribed fire season shortly, if not already.

Yessum, I’ve enjoyed the escapism of watching of CT90 Adventures repeatedly. I also find your consideration of the different approaches interesting and of worthwhile note. Reminds me of a lesson I learned from a member of my review panel when pursuing my advanced credentials. “You have...

If you’re unaware, MULE Outfitters is in Issaquah and is a FWC Dealer if you want to see the latest. Have no idea what they may have in stock to physically look at. Good luck.

If you don’t get a definite answer, Fastenal is a local distributor if you’re unaware. If they have some in stock, IME, they are old school enough they’ll let you hold up some to the side of your Spur in the parking lot to see what looks right. Good luck.

And to all a good night. Happy holidays to you and yours, and may you find health and prosperity in the coming year. Sincerely, from Lucky Dan, and the whole Dan team.

Pretty interesting stuff. I had that in my YouTube watch later que for awhile and finally did it the other day. As for “had it in me”, I think it’s a timeline sensitive thing. After seeing the pictures in your CDF post I’d wager the following: If you had the opportunity and some of the...
