the nice thing about our next house is there are no sidewalks that requires shoveling. I think I will need to get a roof rake to get the snow off the roof, don't know if I can get up there with a snow blower :) Maybe I can coerce the kid into any required snow removal. I do look forward to...

thanks for the input. I could see where vertical ribs on the roof would be the way to go as we'll be moving to snow country

we're going to be packing up and moving next summer. Untill we move in I'll be fixing on the place. One of my projects is to install some kind of cover for the boat and rv. Does anybody have any does and don'ts and tips regarding prefab metal rv covers. What brands are recommended or avoided...

I was looking at the F150 diesel and was impressed with the test drive. The deal killer for me was the low payload numbers

the spousal unit mentioned the other day that our insurance covers hearing aids. That kind of pi&& me off, there ain't a damn thing wrong with my hearing. Another thing that has me torqued off is the politicians making a big deal about this boat by mail B.S. I think anybody with half a damn...

Clay, when the waters got angry, the kid and I would head to the bakery at Longbeach. That diversion probably aint going to work for you though :) Mike, them aint worms, thems flavor nodules

Tyboo is the resident whiz on fishing the lower Columbia and will probably chime in. I used to spend a fair bit of time fishing the mouth before I started spending summers in AK. We never fished the A jetty much but would hit the sunken part of the south jetty now and then and pick up some...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... e=emb_logo you can dial up whatever weather you like, from rain forest to desert and anything in between. Don't let the above link to the classic Henry Weinhard commercial fool you :)

i used to go there every now and then. You need to go down river and come back up to the lagoon favoring the freeway side of the channel. Don't try to enter from the upstream channel as there is a wing damn across it......and give the downstream point a wide berth, I saw a yacht teetering on...

I agree, cool pic but for the true N.W. feeling it needs to be overcast and drizzle :) good to see you two are still kickin

a ratcheting cargo bar that you would use in a pick up bed helps to hold pieces in place while the epoxy dries. https://www.harborfreight.com/ratchetin ... 8485b5e1c4

wow, a front row seat, you must have been living right Harvey. I was farming Mike, If you google earth you can still see Irrigation circles out in the desert in the middle of Libya

40 years ago I was sitting in a Chevy pickup 100 miles outside Sebha Libya having a bite to eat and listening to BBC on the radio when the mountain blew. From what I heard on the radio I didn't know what to expect when I got home. Where do the years go? Do you recall what you where doing when...

ya, shallow is good I was just razzing you for anchoring up on the dock...I know you where just laying out your anchor line.

well, the 8 braid didn't work to good in the Powerwinch Sportfish 450 windlass. The gypsy grabbed a hold of it to good, it would wrap around and jam up. I don't know if it was my windlass or the quality of the line that was causing the jam up but-. Now for plan B, going to splice up some nice...

looks like part of a leg clad in blue jeans

boy Harvey, you aint joshin about anchoring in shallow water. You know they make dock lines that allow you to just tie off to the dock :) I've been using a free-fall, horizontal, windless for about ten years mainly on the Columbia river. We might anchor up several times a morning in search of...

yabut, that WM rode is just spinning out in my gypsy and it's only about 15 years old. I should see about getting my money back :)

1/2" 8 strand nylon anchor line $0.66/foot my tired old anchor line isn't working to good in my windlass anymore. I wanted to try some 8 strand line but didn't want to gamble 100's of dollars that it would work well in my windlass. After scouring the internet I found a source for 1//2 8 strand...

all of WA state parks and WDFW managed facilities are closed. County, city and private, who knows, check their web site or call. I just checked on the Port of Ridgefield ramp here on the Columbia and it was business as usual. As mentioned WDFG shut down all recreational fishing in the state, OR...
