Gang, This is a good subject and a critical issue for Duramax powered tow vehicles based on my past history (unfortunately). I have a 2003 GMC Dually w/128,00+ miles and have had a wee bit of experience with cause and effect. At 51,227 miles (while on vacation in a fairly small town Montana)...

Jim and Marti, Since the lake is close to home and we have been there on a number of occasions, hare are a few tips: 1. You need a Federal Permit to use the USFS and Park Service Docks along the lake and at Stehiken. For you, the best place to obtain one will be at the Ranger District Office...

OK, Charlie, Harvey, Pat, et.al., I too have the "Old Geezer" pass and unfortunately, that doesn't do it! What is required is a Lake Chelan Federal Dock Site permit. You can get a one time $10.00 (I think) or a Season Permit $40.00. (It's a $50.00 fine if caught without one!) With this...

Charllie, The lake is drawn way down through out the winter and early spring to make room for the spring runoff (going to be a lot less this year). I don't use 25 mile this time of year due to this. The best launch is actually at Wapato Point just before Manson on the north side of the...

Welcome! It is a nicely equipped and I have pictures of it while padding the docks at Valdez several years ago. Also, I still have close ties to Wasilla having lived there for a number of years and being on the fire department. Enjoy your new toy! Doug

Pat, As a member of the legal community, you should know (I know you know) these pictures are cruel and inhumane punishment to all of us out here in "Brat" land. Best comment for the plate of clams is.....mmmmm! For those of you have partaken, I am sure you enjoyed them along with the quality...

Unfortunately, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in this boat (pardon the pun). After discussions with EQ earlier on, Kathy arranged for me to stop by King for some assistance. King's comment was "the flat bottom scenario was a problem with C-Dorys". After several adjustments of the four...

Gary, I couldn't say it any better than "Jack in Alaska" has! So I will echo those sentiments and thank you also! My best and safest wishes! Doug DeVore Lil' Brother

Fireguy, Following the lead of Barry on C-Cakes, I asked Les to install a Webasto on my boat during fitting as well. But since I had the new moulded interior it would not fit as well, so he made a change. I have a Wallas 30D Heater with ducted air. Yes, I know you are probably fed up with...

Ken, On our way home from South Dakota, we came through Spokane New Years morning and based on what we saw and experienced that morning, I don't blame you for exiting the area. Wasn't a lot better than that when we got home, but at least all of our roofs were intact. Enjoy your trip! Doug...

All of the tools we use in the EMS field that help to extend our "golden hour" (minutes in a heart attack) are great. Today with AED's being placed on many modes of public transportation, public vehicles (of numerous types) and in public buildings, they have become a good tool to buy "more...

Warren, After talking with our department mechanic who was involved in one of the seminars regarding this, he stated that the "on time" had been an evolutionary process based on the frequency of use by each particular apparatus. But, it sounds like a couple of hours per day was being used...

It's been some time since I have posted, but thought I would take a minute to pass on some information that our tax money has provided to deal with this situation. Having been in the fire service for many years, we have ALWAYS had a significant problem with the electrical systems on our complex...

David, Many thanks for your time and efforts helping the "Brats". What a great service! You'll be a busy man at Friday Harbor! Since I was going to ask you for an inspection anyway and this will be my first attendance at a gathering (I hope) I plan to take advantage of your service. Again...

Pat, There is nothing we can say or do to help other than let you and Patty know we all care and our thoughts and prayers are with you "BOTH"! Our Best Wishes! Doug and Glenda DeVore
