I'm not buying that he's a licensed engineer (necessary for the geotech report), a successful developer, and a convicted rapist.

He probably reached out to a geotech, found out how much they cost...

Unwritten property rights vs. surveyed boundary + attorneys is a bad time and the quote you got likely factors in more that simply locating the boundary. Honestly that kind of number/timeline is...

Yes, $1k-2k is about what we'd charge up here for what he's describing.

Old goat: Your own surveyor should be able to retrace the previous surveyors steps and see how he established the common...

Imagine the sound of this thing driving down a washboard gravel road.

The Last OG was spotted adventuring through the shopping centers of Portland's western 'burbs. #One Less Sprinter

They sure drove up early demand by announcing that all-access passes might be limited. I wonder if they'd actually impose a limit if COVID restrictions get lifted.

It's been years but I remember the Italian joint in Sunriver being good.

Tajin and queso fresco sprinkled on grilled corn on the cob is the bomb.

Aww Shucks(an).

We used GPA (1st floor, Terminal 1, arrivals). It was around $40 for 2 bags for 2 days while we were in Tokyo, it didn't seem super secure or organized but everything was there 2 days later.

Congrats on the new additions, your kiddos will get stronger by the day.

Large SUVs take forever for the cab to warm up when it's 40 below, I'd go for the CRV or the F-150 (mostly just because I like Fords and Hondas). Looks like most of them already have block heaters...

Cold smokey refills, Russian chatter, and an oddly downtempo playlist from the lifties at the bottom of MHX for the night shift at Meadows. EEeeeevery rose has it's thornnn.

3 glugs Jimador blanco
1 glug of Citronge
1/4 of a lime squeezin's
1/4 of a lemon squeezin's
splash of limade
1/2 splash of orange juice
Pint glass, rocks

It's not the most authentic thing...

Well hot damn.

We actually hit Crystal on the way to Baker, off-piste steeps were pretty chunky, gondola laps were fun. A Washingtonian will be able to answer your questions much better than I.

Got a little bit of everything at Baker for LBS weekend, rain, pow, and sun. Hell of a time as always.

Their XL spring gloves were snug when they arrived, after wax (big fan of Obenauf's heavy duty LP) and 3 wearings they're perfect.

Belts were from Napa and the serial numbers were reasonably close (they came in a 2 pack). I've had good luck with Napa products so far but maybe I need to go OEM.

I'll troubleshoot with your...

Changed out belts on the 1997 Land Cruiser before the game yesterday, ratcheting wrenches would have made life easier but overall it was pretty painless.

It's a lot quieter but I still have an...

When there's 3 guys in a regular cab pickup and you're passenger seat guy the proper move is to duck down and blast the horn to make it appear that your 2 buddies are very "close".

Glad to hear his airbag worked. After rereading the article I'm guessing they were bootpacking up the slope after doing control work, not bootpacking as a means of avy control as it says in the...

It's personal preference but I don't like headlamps for this type of stuff, it doesn't give my eyes a chance to adjust to the low light and I get tunnel vision on the headlamp beam. The big old...

Night shift at Meadows was a good time, conditions were variable with soft landings, hard landings, free refills and Volkswagen sized moguls.

This is just going off of plats I've worked on in OR, the HOA is generally the mechanism that enforces the CC&Rs. The city isn't going to deal with all the nitpicky little shit unless it's in...

Since there's no HOA that probably means there's no CC&Rs to enforce on issues like this. I'd check your city's municipal code, they're usually online and searchable for terms like "impervious...

Same problem with the 200 series Land Cruiser. Used market is going to be pretty damn tough in 10 years.

Definitely, foreign pickups just look kind of wonky compared to stuff over here. Don't they know these things are supposed to be a lifestyle accessory? No angry headlights or intimidating grills in...

I've heard for surf fishing you want to go with boot foot chest waders. The reason being that with sock foot chest waders sand will work it's way under the wader cuff and quickly wear out the sock...

Our main office's Christmas party had 8 kegs tapped (to be fair some were 1/6 barrels), prime rib, and giant goddamn bonfire. Pretty fun, the J-man would approve.

I surveyed an old widowers property a few years back, his house was a 6,000 sf shop with about 1,000 sf of living space built into it. Seemed like a good way to go for a single feller.

I'd go for...

Well said, it's nice to read something positive.

This seems to be the underlying issue in this thread. Not having a destination in mind but pointing it straight downhill anyways.

I did a double take, it almost looks like you're heating them on a ceramic cooktop. I need to get some Free The Powder gloves ordered for this season.

I've never been there but I've heard that the Cowboy Dinner Tree out towards Summer Lake is top notch. Reservation only, weekends only, cash only. Hudge steak or whole roasted chicken are the only...

Mt Hood Skibowl opens at 3pm M-Th, show up to work early, get your shit done and bail for fresh tracks with a clear conscience.

Definitely agree with the free refills comments above, it's amazing...

Leslie Gulch and the middle section of the Owyhee River (Birch Creek, Rome, 3 Forks) are great for everything you have listed. Access might be bad this time of year, wet weather can turn the ranch...

The old galv pipes at my place eat shut-off valves for breakfast and turn 15 minute jobs into 4 hour extravaganzas all the goddamn time. It's almost annoyed me enough to bite the bullet on a full...

And you'll know it when you're downwind of a turkey farm, foul fowl.

It usually ends up being PB&J but leftover pizza or breakfast burritos are in the mix too. Bring real food and your friends will be jealous when they're gnawing on cold Clif bars.

505s perfectly bridge the gap between nut-huggers and dad jeans.

All our field crews now use Milwaukee hammer drills after breaking piles of Dewalt (Black and Decker? Dick and Blacker?) hammer drills. That being said my 14.4v Dewalt impact driver is still kicking...

Arctic Valley was a co-op when I lived in Anchorage, I'm not sure if that's still the case but I bet they'd work something out with ya.

Another vote for Xtratufs, they're great in slushy maritime snow.

When selecting a technical fabric for a high fart-output activity consider an air permeable fabric like neoshell. Traditional thigh vents are also a popular option.
