    Astoria this weekend???

    Sounds like I’ve got a few options that may pan out. Hammond near the bot launch Skipanon Marina near Tackle Time Potentially a private lot I will bring my generator to make coffee and run the chamber vac. Otherwise, I’m fully self sufficient for a weekend. Plenty of water for showers and...

    Astoria this weekend???

    Duplicating my post from them other spots, simply for exposure. Hi fellas. I was just told to be in Astoria for salmon Saturday and Sunday. Would love to be tuna fishing, but tough to pass up a work related trip with a great supplier. Getting there is easy. I’d really like to drag my RV up...

    Interesting weekend

    Once the resources started piling in, we could concentrate some more effort on community work. Since EWEB dumped the lake, there was no fresh water getting to the sturgeon at the hatchery. Another fella and I blasted the pond with 4 or 5 2,700 gallon loads of fresh water to give the old fish a...

    Interesting weekend

    One of my favorites from the fire. Certainly not because of the destruction, but everything else in it. The night before this photo, we were saving the house in the background from the house I’m standing in. On night two, we saved the same house from the neighbor on the other side…. I...

    Interesting weekend

    Wife and two of the daughters went with me to Waldo in late October for a day of paddling, and we backsides it home via Aufterheide. That whole drive had tears in my eyes because it was the first time I’d gone into the burn area since the fire. That was harder than being in Rainbow the night...

    Interesting weekend

    Glad everything came out well for you! It’s no doubt a stressful situation when there isn’t much you can do. Went through the same deal in 2020 with the Holiday Farm fire. I live at Greenwood, between Leaburg and Vida. That fire came down the river (valley) and split right around our...

    Confused about SAE connector pos/neg wires...

    I hear ya. It’s tough to clip off a perfectly good connector! My Dometic truck beer fridge came with a POS hard plastic cigarette lighter type plug on it. I kept trying to keep it together because it would fall apart all the time. I was about to order a whole new cord when I thought about...

    Confused about SAE connector pos/neg wires...

    I’ve started to move toward Anderson connectors instead of the SAE style. If you’re not familiar with these, you’ve probably seen big ones on electric forklift chargers. Battery Connector 30A Quick Connect Battery Modular Power Connectors Quick Disconnect (10) https://a.co/d/auHSBHf They’re...

    Confused about SAE connector pos/neg wires...

    I would always wire the hot leg of the supply side to the female side. That way when the lead is flopping around, there is no exposed positive terminal. Same reason why the outlets in your house are female.

    New(?) guy here

    That's a fact. My favorite "local" off-road racing venue was the Wild West Motorsports Park on the NE side Reno by Mustang. It was a top notch facility that hosted some of the best races I've been to, and was the track for the Ultra-4 final race each year. The top racers would let it all hang...

    Prepare for the influx of dirtbags!

    I have a feeling there will be more new members coming soon, and this section may do some growing. I’m currently a gear fisherman, so will likely cruise this section more than others. I look forward to getting to know you all and hope to meet you at the river/lake/ocean/tavern soon! I’ll bet...

    New(?) guy here

    I’m a fan of almost all types of racing. Ultra-4 holds a special place in my heart, as I’ve been involved with more than just a couple of race teams at King of the Hammers over the last decade. Hydroplane races are something that I’ve had the pleasure of attending over the last 5-6 years, only...

    New(?) guy here

    Good morning, all. I’m new here, but an old-ish salt from the area. I’m moving over here because I like what Evan, Billy, and Josh have been doing lately. I’m not much of a fly fisherman (at all), but it has my attention. I’ve drown a few million worms in my time, as well as trolled up...
