Those are a big part of them. I'm independent. I now see in cspan there are a growing number of US politicians identifying as independents. I also see it more in my local voters pamphlets. I think there are plenty of people disgusted with the direction of each of the 2 big tent parties. First...

Can't argue with any of that. Could it be common ground? I think so. Side note. I think 80 percent of Americans are essentially in agreement on the big issues. They may not agree with the road plan to solve them but they want the same result. It's a travesty we have lost the moderates in...

Here's one......."A flat tax is flat simple" That's right instead of forming an IRS at the state level inside the department of revenue we could keep it simple and have a flat tax rate for all levels of income. We could reduce the IRS on a grand scale and take the headache out of tax preparing...

Unfortunately I'm a bit outnumbered with a few obstacles. One, my own affairs to survive in Taxington. Two, government employees are union which makes cutting the fat neatly impossible and competence optional. Three, we both know it will do zero good. Did I mention I was outnumbered.

Lobbying for fiscal responsibility successfully is not possible in one party rule situations. And yes I apply that to both parties when they have unchecked control.

I don't think that. But I do think there are far more state employees and government employees than we need. But when you're rewarded with more budget money for redundancy and inefficiency you get an ever expanding bureaucracy that treats taxpayer money like it is endless. How do we pay ultra...

No, but it will be guaranteed problematic. Much like the vehicles at the region office that give up the ghost as they have never had the oil changed or maintainace of any kind. Yes, an entire building filled with non or barely running equipment while requisitions for new get approved.

I heard there was legislation in place to remedy this. I'm the main amendment you can pay double and have both but there is an added surcharge as well making it triple. However you will be eligible to have your vote not count for 30 dollar car tabs in the next general election. If you vote yes...

The opst is simpler. I like the old sage packs. Simple with enough pockets and slots to be useful.

If I'm going to go do something dangerous I never like to kill anything on the way to do it. Kayaked a to be nameless class V Creek one day.. Buddy was showing me his new AR and we shot it a bit in a safe manner. Then he goes and shoots a squirrel. A squirrel with a mate that was obviously...

The only people that do the outback are middle class. Rich people are too good and poor people are too poor. A nice little shrinking market niche they got going there.

Jim let them know that our dominance would not be questioned in front of our ladies. He really got full force verbally as to avoid a physical confrontation. I think it helped that I started stretching and getting limber for possible man on man physical conflict.

Normally I would agree with this but Jim was well within the boundaries of the main amendment. The guy had it coming. It was too bad Jim had to put him in line so forcefully but it was necessary to secure a peaceful dinner for our families. Thanks again Jim not letting that go.

Figures. More bad info from folks that should know. I specifically asked the question and was told by wdfw staff it was required. I have been buying it yearly for years based off that conversation. Oh well, the state gets plenty of money from me for weird shit what's a few bucks more.

Needing it to fish Mayfield for musky is peak irony.

The transmission is the weak link on those trucks. Folks wouldn't notice though unless they are towing and the rest of the truck lasts so long. They are better than the 10 speed units of today though and totally rebuildable. There is a coupler plate that allows a modern power stroke trans to be...

I'll go further. When did we decide that you should control your volume on the radio with two tiny buttons instead of a dial? I can't modulate my NPR at high speed accurately at all! Complete bullshit! I want to throttle Terry Gross accurately while I'm careening down a logging road with...

Bearings became more commonly sourced from China during COVID. The supply chain remained sourcing there due to price. Other machines of various sorts are suffering crank and main bearing failures because of this. For all the useless shit on new trucks at least give me some level of...

It's basic engine physics and economics. A boosted motor is subject to higher manifold pressures. To further get performance we up the compression as well. We then use aluminum and other materials for weight savings and econress to some degree. After that we have a motor with high performance...
