First local Elk since getting to our wintering place a month ago. We've seen lots of deer, and Elk on the Tillamook side of the hill. But no Elk on this side by the ocean. It's the darndest thing...I saw buffalo (bison) here as well. A dairy farmer here has a heard of about a dozen or so...

Priorities The survival Rule of Threes: * It takes about three seconds to die without thinking * It takes about three minutes to die without air * It takes about three hours to die without shelter * It takes about three days to die without water * It takes about three weeks...

Feeling a little patriotic...

Had a visitor in the loop tonight. That's home in the background. There's two bulls, four points, and their harems here.

What have I done???? I sold Blue to a couple of really nice thirty somethings this afternoon. My TJ is gone. They'll take good care of him. First time in several decades, I don't have a Jeep of any flavor. I think, I think I'll go eat worms and die! (or go buy another lever gun...)

Well, found these tucked away in a corner. Southwest Beef with Black Beans, Beef Enchilada, and Brisket with Gravy. Hmmm...

Hey, @Chris What vintage are these? I've got two, unused, that I found in my Jeep paperwork.

Ran across this the other day. A place two counties over imports and sells these things. I guess they are pretty cool, and work well, as long as you don't try to drive on the freeway. The idiots in Oregon are talking about making them street legal... 1998 Mitsubishi Minicab VX Special Edition...

Still not sold, make me an offer I can't refuse. I'd rather it go to a TJ person than to a boneyard, Time to part with my TJ. 1999 TJ SE, manual transmission. newer 31x10.50R15 KO2's on stock aluminum wheels. Little to no rust. 180,000 miles H&R springs, Misc mods, Australian winch, etc...

"Coeur d'Alene shooting: Firefighters and police 'ambushed by gunman' in Idaho" Authorities say a suspect shot at firefighters responding to fire near Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, and the sheriff said two people were killed and police were still “taking sniper fire” Sunday afternoon. The Kootenai...

So, the wife and I are heading out for some serious boondocking here in a few months...she has 10 more Mondays in her working life...and I've been working on ways to communicate. Finally bought a Starlink mini the other day. The hardest part of the setup was selecting the correct address from...

Went down a rabbit hole with some old data today, and I remembered FTPing into PARC and browsing and retrieving information. Anyone else remember PARC (Palo Alto Research Center)? They had a very primitive search function, by today's standards. I can't for the life of me remember the name of...

Went out this weekend to purchase some ground Bison at Costco for home-made street tacos. It was raining like stink here, like is usually does here in the valley. So, I wasn't disposed to rush in and rush right back out. To make a long story somewhat shorter - I ended up with a new Lenovo...

My blushing bride of 40+ years surprised me with a pretty cool birthday present. Background: I've been wet shaving since forever. I tried to shave with my grandpappy's straight razor, but no joy. Didn't know how to hone it, and was stropping it wrong anyway... Here's what the spousal unit...

So, I've thrashed out my 1999 SE after about two decades. I'm an old retired guy without a lot of money. What's some ideaas on getting Blue back to being reliable without breaking the bank.

I full time in an RV. The blushing bride is retiring in a year, and we will be hitting the road full time. We own a tow vehicle, a trailer, and my TJ. The quandary is what to do with the TJ when we jump out on the road. I can keep it, but that turns it into an expensive pain in the ass. I can...

rant/ Just received a letter from my postage purveyor to stop in and provide ID and additional address information. Provide the information or the service stops. Done. Over. WTF, over!? Here's background: The loving wife and I have been living full time in an RV for four years now It's not...

I'm old, cheap, and I hate things that don't work. One of the things that I've struggled with for more than 50 years is getting a fire lit in the backwoods anywhere and under all conditions. Rain, wind, snow, ice, all the things that can make getting a fire going problematic can be addressed...

The neighbor is a fairly high end used car dealer. He has a 2005 LJR that he's going to put up on Bring a Trailer here soon.
