I’ve been told I need to, at least once a week, really put the gas on and get it heated up. Otherwise the turbo inlet will get clogged. The mechanic I take it to thought that was a deal but he removed it and it was clean. I do not often get on the freeway with the car and traffic is so congested here anymore that it is not much different…[Read more]

Sounds like a good deal for the truck. My camry died some years ago so I had to get a new car. Bought a used or new 2013 VW Passat TDI. This car was part of the software issue that cost VW a ton of money. I am at the end of paying it off with a 0% loan from VW. I get 40mpg at the high end. It has been a fairly good car. Very…[Read more]

Wow, a 16 pointer. For me, dragging a deer out of the woods is a hindrance to getting me out there. I always wanted to know how to hunt, field dress, and butcher. I got that with a friend and that was good enough. I did go the next year and caught pneumonia due to lack of sleep. I haven’t hunted since. I learned how to do it. That was…[Read more]

When I lived in MN, my neighbor decided I needed to go hunting. I hinted I’m guessing. The had a family farm south and you had to use a shotgun with a slug. No rifles. So I took my trusty shotgun, bought slugs, and found that the full choke barrel caused the slug to move to the right and up from where I was aiming. No wonder I missed my…[Read more]

SCOTUS was not in session when I was there. That would ahve been really fun to do. Black History museum has really good southern fried chicken and cornbread, and the works. It is really good, I highly recommend it.

Regarding the roof, they replaced 25 plywood sections. My roofline is unique which poses issues. They added venting to…[Read more]

Thank you, Easter was good. We came back from DC the night before. We ate at Pizza Paradiso and the Thai place you recommended in Georgetown. Both were excellent. Also, the Black History Museum has the best food, really good.

We had a tour of the Capitol and White House and those were both good. We went to the Air and Space Museum on…[Read more]

My roof is being replaced right now. They have found some issues that I told them about. so that is good confirmation. Our neighbor owns the company and he was the low bidder word.

Yeah, lingcod is pretty good eating, ugly fish. But they are a bottom fish that they can catch right off the jetty. In fact, my son’s friend went spearing the next day there and got lingcod that looked over 2 ft long. From the picture it looks 3 ft, but I don’t want to be accused of telling a fish story word.

I went fishing at Westport WA. My son wanted to spearfish and I cast from the jetty. It was pretty much a bust. First day we didn’t get started before we finished. He lost his mask right away. My reel wouldn’t cast. It was my father’s old setup and I guess it doesn’t work. Anyway we went to Big 5 and got a new mask and rod and reel.…[Read more]

I don’t like that Starocci got the chance for 5 titles. I don’t like that anyone has a 5th year, that;s just not right. Hendrickson was the logical choice in my opinion.

I’ll let you know how the fishing goes word.

My wife is increasing the size of our garden. Plus putting in a deer fence. We were able to get 3 posts in. Our ground apparently was either a glacier field or they filled the ground with river rock. We bought an auger and it keeps bucking on rocks big and little. We have to use a trenching shovel to get the rocks out. 6-8 inch long.…[Read more]

Yeah, that’s right in your backyard! Should be fun.

My best friend in college did the same playing flag football and softball. Big scar. I don’t know if he can tell the weather but I believe it. My mom could tell when the weather was changing and was 100% correct. Somehow she could sense the barometric pressure changes. She had…[Read more]

I agree about Taylor. He took a program that wasn’t supposed to be top 5 and made them top 5. I’d say he did a great job this year. He will have to keep it up and improve next year to solidify his status I think.

Looking forward to Vegas. I used to go when I did Veterans wrestling and that was a fun time. I really enjoyed being there…[Read more]

My brother texted me about that match saying the announcers were out of their minds with this win. I kind of feel bad for Gable, he has had a number of disappointments with WWE and NFL, this is really amazing. I watched the last 45 seconds or so of the match. I thought Gable would get away right at the end but Hendrickson held on for the…[Read more]

I can’t do that. I watch it during the day but not in the evening.

I did think it interesting that #1 and #2 at 125 both lost in the quarters. PSU lost in the lightest two weights. Lilledahl fell. I haven’t looked since they were at 141 so I will have to look at that word.

Well I hope not. That would not be good news. It is fairly close to Mt St Helens. It has been quaking as well over the years. But increased activity is always something to watch closely word.

You know, I don’t have any ash from that. I do know that the year after was a bumper crop of apples because the ash would allow the water go get to the ground but it prevented the water from evaporating. So the apple trees had more water at their root system. I did a research paper on that in college. It wasn’t the minerals, silica doesn’t…[Read more]

I don’t live near there. But I hadn’t heard that. I had heard there are rumblings on Mt Rainier. I’ll check out Mt Adams.

We have a bunch of volcanoes here in PNW. I remember when Mt. St. Helens blew, I was a teen just east of Seattle. That was a big deal. Lots of people dead. Many steamed and melted. Others washed away with…[Read more]

I’ve seen some traffic about this kid on the intermat forums. Unless they are going to put him in jail, I think they should let him wrestle. If he could be out on bail in time for the state tourney, he should be able to wrestle. I don’t mind the assault charge, but if he gets out on bail he is free to move around as he pleases legally, and I…[Read more]

Yes, it has happened rather rapidly. Similar in Seattle. Seattle was known as the emerald city for 50 years. But since about 10 years ago, it has rapidly declined. Same thing, what was a felony is now a misdemeanor, no cash bail, letting people go after arraignment. It is just crazy. Why is this happening word?
