The following was posted on a retiree Forest Service discussion forum. If you have Lyme's, you will now be treated under Medicare. I don't know if it covers other tick borne illness. I do have a friend, whose wife had a real hard time convincing anybody that Lyme's even existed in eastern...

They are getting real good. I kept getting scams pretending to be my IP provider. Then I started getting legit notices from my IP provider. I couldn't tell the difference. I had to call the company to ask which was which, and now I just ignore all their messages. Pretty soon they won't be...

I got it one year and could not cast a fly. It was awful. Try a physical therapist. Weight lifting helps me, but you don't want to take medical advice from a forester.

Yeah, his medical degree is from the University of Moscow. No, not the University of Idaho at Moscow, but the other one 12 time zones. I told him that I did NOT pick him as a Doctor, so he could tell me to cut back on my drinking!!! Is there any other reason to pick a Russian doctor...

My forest economics professor agreed with you. His comment was "there is no problem in forestry, that cannot be fixed with a $15 two by four. We actually in real dollars hit $15 in the late 70's. That environmental President Jimmy Carter ORDERED the Forest Service to increase their cut above...

Rejoice. The following wines were all five to six dollars with the 25% off sale at Grocery Outlet that I am drinking now. Double Canyon, Columbia Valley 2022, Cab Firestone, Santa Ynez Valley, 2021, Cab-Franc Gordon Estates, Columbia Valley 2019. Syrah It use to be Grocery Outlet's best...

I grew up around urban streams. They were really cool spots until the engineers showed up. I know a couple of spots in California where they have started restoration. This creek was my stomping grounds when I was going to community college. I am not impressed with the design of the...

Wolverine decoys smile. I met a badger on a Forest Service in north Idaho. He thought I was trespassing and attacked the Forest Service truck. We found it amusing. If that had been a Wolverine I suspect he would have demolished the truck and we would have been walking 30 miles to the...

The job impact is not that it will eliminate your job. It is that it will make YOU so much more efficient that there will not be the need for as many employees. Back in the 1980's I took a job with the Forest Service that required developing presenting social, economic and ecological analysis...

Did you get those at Grocery Outlet?? I have a personal "wine sommelier" at the East Wenatchee Grocery Outlet store. I need to stop in a get a travel supply for my trip down to California. With the collapse of the retail wine market there are some great wines for under $10 out there.

I was on a crew cruising timber in rolling redwood country with foggy, rainy, miserable weather. There were ten of us on the crew and I was the rookie forester that drew the short straw to run a compass line back to where the truck SHOULD be parked. It was an HOUR walk through the woods. I...

Didn't his wife run the team??? See first sentence on team history. https://corvallisknights.com/tradition/team-history/ I did learn one thing from following the West Coast Collegiate Baseball League and that is having money and more importantly a good management team running it is more...

Phil Knight must be a very weird human being. He owns a team in the West Coast collegiate baseball league. He pours so much money into that team, that they hardly ever lose. It seems that he must have a Howard Hughes type phobia about losing. I already feel sorry for the University of...

Another Soviet era joke from Russia....... A pessimist is a well-informed optimist.

Good God!!! Drinking beer and fly fishing? I don't fish with any fly fishermen that drink beer, unless your a cowboy or cowgirl in Idaho or Montana. Next your going to tell me that fly fishing is watching a floating bobber, just like you were when you were 4 years old and fishing with your...

StarLink is NOT going to have the characteristics of fiber optic underground line. Anything with an ANTENNA is going to have situations where it doesn't work well, or in some cases at all. Law enforcement radio's, Forest Service radio's, cell phones, etc etc. But once you know how the antenna...

I had my second home in the direct path of the Labor Mountain Fire and got to visit with lots of folks from the overhead on the incident team. Everyone of them had a StarLink Mini on the dash of their truck. That included personal vehicles on the fire duty as well as agency vehicles. If it...

I hope not. I watched him as a true freshman when he played for Cal. My sense is that he is a great quarterback when playing with a great team. Put him on an awful team like the Raiders and he will play like the Raiders, unfortunately. He doesn't show me much "grit". I am not a avid...

For off-grid communications there are two components. One is in camp, your vehicle or boat. The other is off-trail. For camp, vehicle, or boat situations the solution is StarLink. I have had it for over five years now and it just works. You get complete phone and internet service. It is...

I remember the days when Oregon and Washington had awful teams even compared to WSU and UC Berkeley. And Oregon is a great team simply because a very old and very rich man is a fan. If he dies without leaving a large pile of money to Oregon football they will once again become an awful team...
