NICE BEAVER!

Uh oh, another thread shot to hell!

Randymac, you can't hog all of Burvol's time. I have fishing questions. Lots of fishing questions.

I have got to learn how to catch them big honkin' salmon so I can fish in my retirement. Trout are easy and don't taste as good. Gots to get salmon! And a better smoker.

So Burvol, if you read this, what were the guys fishing for from the bank of the river west of Longview? They had really long fishing poles. If it was salmon, that means another purchase of a fishing pole. I have Klamath River style gear.

I noted that the poor guys in the boats were hugging the Warshington shore.
Don't know if it was because of the nasty weather or if the fishing was better there. That was across from Astoria.

It has been.......

Alledegedly reported by heretofore reliable sources that there is now and will still be in June, Salmon in the Mckenzie River. I tend to believe this as there is a hatchery just for Salmon a few miles upriver from here! Just above the Salmon hatchery is another one that dumps Steelhead and Trout into the river.
However.........just because they are there dosen't mean you can catch them!
I am living proof of that!.......Bob

Fishing there would require either night fishing or an out of state license. I shall pass on that, but thank you.

Salmon

Great place to catch salmon is at Sweetwater Bridge on the Umpqua out of Glide Oregon.. Many Many 30 to 40 pounders brought out of that river. Anything north of that bridge is strickly barbless flyfishing only!

You mean Swiftwater? I grew up about nine miles from there...it's great fishing all the time.

Whoo Hooo! Now I'll get to learn about something else I know nothing about! I did some middle of the night fishing in South Carolina, catching brim while drinking too many cokes & eating peanut butter-marshmallow sandwiches... good times... but I'm in the PNW now! Gotta learn new things...

Here Randy

Got out the Homelite XL925 and cut up a log because my little tractor can't lift them if over about 12'. It's the first time it's been out since you used it. Still runs good!
In the background is your camp site under the Redwoods!..............
You should feel like home there!..........

Also set up three of the 27 or so logs........Going to pressure wash them too!

Getting more done each day!..............Can't Wait......Bob

 

[Farley9n]

Bump Bump!!

Been a few days since last posts so I thought I would bump this a bit. Been raining pretty good so I haven't done much since the last pictures until today. Stacked up a bunch of 6-12" for the saw buckers & racers and set another log up in the field. Still a bunch more to do. It's getting close and I'm stilled
"PUMPED".......................Bob

 

[RandyMac]

Bob, Annie thinks that campsite is awesome. I am taking the week off prior to the great event, I will be as ready as I can.

PRB, case of 24 X 3
McCullochs, many cubic inches
Jim Beam Rye, 1

Still filling out the list

16 days and counting

My chair disappeared from my world during my move in October, so I just returned from a shopping trip to buy one... Whoo Hoo! I can't wait!!!

 

[slowp]

I purchased a slightly used cap style hardhat for a kicking/throwing experiment. I suspect other attendees are also bringing some for sport events.

I think I want to wear boots for participation in the kicking event. Owie.

The only event I have heard where I might have a chance in competing would be the cussing event... but I don't want to see grown men blush, so I'll pass on that one...

slowp, so glad you are acquiring gear for the competitions!

Ditto... there's always room for more! (Bob, as our host, I hope I'm not speaking out of turn!!!)

This week was entirely devoted to getting the garage/workshop and yard spruced up for a family reunion this weekend. Nearly wore me out but the results were pretty good.

Next week I will get a few more saws ready and get the truck loaded up. Our plan is to leave on the 6th immediately after church, see some customers along the way, do a little sight seeing, and be there ready for the fun on Saturday 11 June.

Here is a view of the chainsaw corner of the shop all cleaned up. Sorry but the new IE8 won't allow me to imbed these photo's.
