I guess I don't know what beetles killed that wood but the blue stain likely means Pine beetle. Pine beetles are a bark beetle they live between the cambium layer and the bark. When you remove the...

Years of pizza shop work causes me to leave at least a buck or two at a take out counter.
Around here a lot of restaurants you order at the counter and pay then find a seat and someone brings...
one thing I find with the old saws is the anti vibration either sucks or is non existent. Those macs are a solid saw but wear you down twice as fast. Never had the chain brake grab on a kick back...
I drive by that magic number place all the time. Never knew what they were up to in there. Interesting
What do you do with your dog if you have one of those rooftop tents? Carry it up there? Go car camping with no dog?
both seem ridiculous.
moister sites primarily rockier north facing aspects 6500ish to 9500 feet. Areas with a little shelter. It has been a few years since I lived in Colorado but I seem to remember some large patches...
where are you located?
I have enjoyed following some of these rippers get bigger. Daughter is 2.5 but she has always been in the lower percentile size wise. We really try not to push too hard and be patient. First...
Thanks to the intelligent experts in this thread for talking about the activated oil in the syringe. This stuff made a family trip to Florida a dream. Margin for getting pleasantly stoned to...
Man I need to step up my game
Figured everyone was saving their sickdays and spouse points up during the mediocre start to the season. Also I was not going to be able to pull of an early enough start so I went against the flow...
I would have some respect for her if she at least tried for some trick even if she crashed. I would think that someone young semi athletic with money to burn could take a year and learn to go...
I set timber sale boundaries for a few years and I would find sheds all them time. I have left more than a few large elk antlers behind after I got tired of dragging them in the brush. A few years...
as of a couple years ago she lived in Sisters, Oregon. Saw her once in town, my boss was all "do you know who that was?"
She looked rough. long way from looking athletic.
6.0 is a disaster out of the box that is for sure. Chevy sucks at making interiors and doors. Cheap plastic crap. most of the trucks I drive are the lowest trim but chevys always seem to have a...
Crater Lake is a little tougher in winter since the north entrance is closed adds a lot of drive time to go to the south entrance. I would think go south of bend take HWY 31 out towards the Hart...
I just received notice on my windshield yesterday that my quad cab 6 foot bed ram is no longer welcome to park on the two main streets in Bend.
Standing opposite of the spray. Front screw adjust the radius/ distance of the spray pattern. back screw adjust the swing. I think the stop is on the left so twist it to the stop then adjust the...
I took care of my daughter from 3-10 months old. It was pretty great. The social aspect is a little odd not really part of the mom group. People always making a big deal about "a day out with dad"...
I was a patient of Dr. Smiley DDS growing up. Also know a Dr. Pain DDS.
I know a Ralph Short who is a garbage man. I don't know why but I feel that its a perfect name for a garbage man
i spent a few days slabbing with an 880 i don't recall the length on the bar i want to say 48" and it worked like a dream. Also ran it on an Alaska mill and the power is great. Ran a well tuned...
My Neighbor runs the Redmond Airport Shuttle (541) 382-1687. If I remember correctly it is 36 bucks one way for two people to bend. You save a few bucks if you book round trip.
When I see the prices of Eurovan and Vanagon campers these days it makes me wish I had taken up some of the many chances I had to acquire them cheap 15-20 years ago. But back then I was all about...
fine day a bachelor today. Seemed pretty busy for Wednesday but i can't blame anyone for calling in favors to get out there today. NW skied great all morning then burned off the rest of my legs...
Saturday skiing at bachelor was great. Deep and bouncy. Weather was variable lifts were running a little slow. I got lured away by late afternoon fresh on cloud chaser made for a long push back. ...

It has got to be tough to find experienced crews and engines this time of year everyone is laid off. A couple folks I know left Oregon to work on the management team.
I have been working in a wood yard lately. Mostly prepping logs for the wood processor and bucking juniper logs that are too ugly to go in the machine. Trusty stihl 440 with a fresh new oem top...
I don't know if it is that simple on a snobike. The difference I see is the amount of space behind you and the strength sub frame on the back of a moto. The tunnel on a mountain sled is pretty...
I demoed a timbersled on a 450 ktm 4 or 5 years ago and rode a buddy's 525 ktm also with a timbersled kit for a day last year. I can't imagine anything less than 450cc getting the job done. I was...

I go back and forth on the idea of the crew bug for a camper. I drove a 2004 crew bug for a season and now drive an engine based on 2005 international 4400 with the 466 (7.6 liter) They ride a...
i am amazed this kind of thing doesn't happen more often. People have a real Disneyfied version of nature in their heads.
One spring while driving a government pickup a lady with a sweatshirt...
I witnessed a very similar situation with a coworker swing down from the back of a truck. he was also pretty lucky but it was definitely in the back of my mind when i got married started wearing a...
It is not really a brush guard it is a solid steel bumper with welded on brush guard. I don't love it but it is stout as hell. Would likely vaporize a deer if they met. Don't worry I can identify a...
That is stock ride height there buddy. no lift. Buying a lifted truck would be a very dumb decision in my opinion for a multitude of reasons. I sort of agree on the front bumper/brush guard. ...
After 12 wonderful years grudgingly I sold my 2000 Tacoma and bought a 2013 Ram 2500 diesel. Driving around with a new baby in the taco for a month convinced me that another door was needed. The...
Summit runs were out of control yesterday. Soft and deep.
I have learned to just lean back and accept the slow drivers of Oregon. Speed limits are low and most drive like grandmas. Seemed like everyone gave up on Bachelor by lunch leaving plenty of snow...
I have used bamboo and ski poles with kids it works well but the hockey stick is genius. Probably better for pulling in the flats with the hook at the end. I do worry that I may get the urge to...
10 is rather generous. Seemed more like 6-8. skied pretty well and much less busy compared to Saturday. High winds and rain for the next couple days. Pretty stiff breeze right now in town.
Electric chainsaws have come along way. The electric motors have a lot of torque for their size. I have never used one outside of a behind the shop demo but I could see them for firewood work. ...
Still working through congress. Seems fairly popular but you know how these things go.
Depending on how much you want to drive I would go Smith rock then take 242 over McKenzie pass if it is open to 126 to Florence. You can stop off at Cougar hot springs along the way. Florence head...
Had a Vet appointment for the pooch this morning so I missed the full glory but I found some scraps. Things were pretty baked on the south side. Around NW was pretty good low down but of course no...
Drifting Blower and intermittent snow storms this morning. Praying for the summit tomorrow with light winds tonight. It looked prime up above rainbow.
Sisters doesn't want traffic control of any kind. Takes away from the old west feel. You can keep your big city front first parking too.
Bumps are getting big ...
Great day, cold snow and a noon thirty summit opening. Anything exposed was rough but the leeward edges were prime. Skated passed the first chair crowd at the top to have cows face to untouched and...
I can taste the Marie Sharp's from here.
Summit runs and sunburned hands.
