    Hitting the Oregon trail again

    Spent over 5 hours sitting on I 80. Took 12 hours to get through Nebraska mostly at 37 mph. Saw 50 cars off the road and close to that many big rigs. Winter is no joke out here. Should be relatively smooth sailing from here on out.

    Hitting the Oregon trail again

    Taking off for the west side in a few minutes. We have lots of big plans and are stoked to see all of our friends. Nikki has a new camera and I have the go pro figured out so I?m hoping to get some cool action footage from diving. Nikki has a contract close to Oregon city which is way too...

    New evinrude g2 tiller

    I was just interested in the new power tiller system, more interrsted in a prop rig. I?d go diesel inboard with a Hamilton for a jet. There is a marine mechanic next to where I work and he loves evinrude. he says the new g2 series is unreal. I keep hemming and hawing whether or not I want a...

    New evinrude g2 tiller

    I saw evinrude released a tiller with built in power steering for a 150. Looks like a pretty sweet set up, i have always been a tiller fan and there are plenty of tiller setups out west on some monster boats. Looks like it would make using a big tiller much easier. Has anyone gotten to play...

    What a pussy....

    I?d like to be next to a wood stove, working on my west coast rig. But I?m out finishing up our big flood plain forest project for USFWS and TNC. Last thing is putting predator guards on the wood duck boxes we put up. It?s pretty chilly in the marsh today. But I?m leaving for warmer pastures...

    Anyone Here Near Gaston, OR?

    Congrats on the find! I love seeing all the old clean trucks out there. One day I?ll get an old square body and relive the glory days of the 80s, I was born in the wrong era!

    I?ll be in clackamas the end of the month for winter, any chance it has to to do with the aluminum scaup out in Astoria?

    the sourpuss face

    Sounds like ct. had a guy threaten you slit my throat during early goose a few years ago, he was given a ticket for hunter harassment. He had big balls saying that to a guy with an obviously loaded gun, I wonder how that would have been handled in the old market gunning days..... Dealing with...

    2003 25 Merc has no spark

    Good luck, I thought the switch box was more of an omc problem. I had a buddies 40 VRO just stop, of course we were in the middle of a lake and needed rescuing. Replaced the switch box and ran perfect. Those outboards have a mind of their own.

    2003 25 Merc has no spark

    Opening Day Blues

    I was just wondering when your play by play hunt recaps were going to start. Guess I?ll have to wait a little longer. I?ve been too busy with work, decoys, and packing to worry about hunting.

    Nikon question

    Ok I?ll let her know to investigate that. I have a feeling this could get out of hand quite quickly, but what hobbies don?t! I?m not big on taking pictures but I do enjoy looking at them. So it is nice having a photographer with you most of the time.
