    Neighbors Tesla catches fire with a garage full of ammo

    Quite an exciting day yesterday in the neighborhood. Rumors differ on how or why it caught fire but thankfully no-one was hurt. Apparently this is not that uncommon. You can hear the ammo cooking off in the video.

    Ski gear help-rent/buy or both?

    With a shiny new hip and no dog to care for for the first time in 16 years I'm looking to get back on the ski slopes. I was hard core in my 20's but haven't been skiing in at least 25 years. I am told I'll be amazed at how great boots and skis are today compared to when I last went skiing...

    Bah-bye OPT pack

    https://wdfw.wa.gov/news/wdfw-removes-depredating-opt-wolf-pack I’d prefer they sell me tag but looks like WDFW and the rancher did their parts.

    School me on the Big Island :)

    I'm planning on spending nine days (not including travel days) on the Big Island this March. The first day is booked as I have a private tour set up for Fissure 8 and Volcano National Park. But I'm totally free after that. This is a solo trip so I can pretty much set my own itinerary. I'm...

    DIY soft sided cooler

    A year or so ago I purchased the Costco soft sided cooler. It's for placing ice cream and stuff in so it doesn't melt on the way home. Yeti has something similar for $300.00 while the Costco one cost about 30 bucks. I have used it for storing my food in inside a big cooler. It has worked...

    Hip replacement.....Anybody been there done that?

    So I’m seeing the doc to schedule a hip replacement this Friday. I’m curious if any here have been thru this and what I should expect. The online stuff is a wee bit scary! My doc looked at it about a year ago and commented that most folks in my condition would have already done the...

    Solar eclipse Aug 21, 2017

    I've never seen one and for some reason it is important to me not to miss this one as it will probably be my last chance. I'll take a sick day and watch it in a Corvallis Walmart if I have too but would rather make a backcountry trip out of it. The below link shows the zone of totality. Anybody...

    Old Kenmore or new Brother xr9500?

    My SIL has given me a choice between the two above sewing machines. I'm told the Kenmore works fine while the Brother is brand new in the box. I'm a total newbie looking to make stuff sacks and small repairs. Just trying to figure out which one I should grab. Thx!

    2016 Wa Spring Rondy

    I had a blast at Pete Lake two years ago and there's a bunch of new Wa members here since then so I'm thinking we should do this again this spring. Fathers Day is June 19 so maybe the 2nd or 4th weekend of June? Although Pete Lk worked well it was a little crowded (with sketchy neighbors :))...

    Iron sight options??

    I'm mostly an archery guy but would like to get in a few more gun hunts in the future. My backup rifle is a lever action Marlin .308mx with VXII scope. I figured it would make a good backup rifle and could become my primary rifle in really nasty weather, fog or the local west side jungle...

    Anybody make a down camo puffy vest?

    As the title states I'm looking for a down vest. I love my marmot vest but it's a shiny black and not good for hunting. I'd even go for a non camo puffy vest just as long as it is a muted color and somewhat quite. I'm not interested in synthetic fill at this time but am afraid that's what I'll...

    Wa archery season changed, Sept 12-26

    I haven't seen the official announcement but rumors are flying that WDFW has adopted the above season change. This is something we've been supporting and pushing for a while now. Not only will we be hunting in better weather closer to the rut but no more deciding between a mountain mule deer...
