Outstanding! Not sure how many here have caught this, but atmospheric scientists are just now realizing about these essentially/nearly invisible swirling wind conditions, that VG somehow captured 100 years ago.

“Swing both ways, have twice the fun.” Twelve+ years back at a HS reunion I saw an old friend who’d been in the timber industry. He had run a timber mill in Minnesota and then bought rights to a mill somewhere in Russia. No surprise, as it became a success the government took it over with zero...

Rep, I am truly enjoying your posts, I am, don’t stop. But you are waaaay over the top Pal. I’ve learned a lot here, partially that my habit is tame by at least one standard. One thought is you might find other hobbies, but no. Then you’d be just another bland add on like most of us. No, I...

Good luck Paul. It’s remotely possible your family can’t imagine you without a trusted buddy, as mine does. You are due. We have Rose in the family (from Gary) and she is love personified. Pity we don’t hunt as she’s birdie as H.

I was smoking a bit usually when Firesign would come on the radio. I’d often get the last joke midway into the next. It was laughyerass funny stuff, at least with a buzz on. …. “civilization whoooa!” Also, had a friend with the alias Nick Danger. Now I know where it came from.

Just warming up the obligatory post sex conversation so I can go to sleep soon.

This was a Jeep Cherokee with an automatic. I did go easy on the brakes on the top half. Today I’d maybe stop for a few minutes once or twice on the way down. Never had brake trouble in that car before or after this event.

No current intelligence here. We used to go the week after Mothers Day but haven’t been back in a long time. Vaguely recollect that it was chilly and the fishing mediocre, that particular day. What I do remember well is the cold leisurely beer or two at the stop sign, bottom of the grade. You...

Jim T, I enjoy your inciteful posts. The California Camper, various configurations, many aimed at the beach apparently. Cue “Surfin Safari”. Not cheap though starting at $60K+.

I’ve had interest in the VW camper vans since 1970 or so but never pulled the trigger. I’ve recently seen snippets of new models coming out, one being called the California. I’m totally happy with my Tacoma with canopy, as it fits my lifestyle perfectly, but I’d be interested if anyone here has...

Just found this excellent thread, and I’ve always been a cloud fan. No pictures but some years back we were flying home from NY and I awoke over the Dakotas around midnight. We were well above this raging thunderstorm. For an hour or so it looked like the apocalypse, huge bombs going off under...

I failed as well. Neither here or there, but 15 months ago I was in Tanzania, and dreading the long flight, I broke out the globe. In ballpark terms (earth isn’t round like a globe, but an oblate spheroid) if you were to drive a rod from Seattle through the center of the earth it would exit just...

I had to look. The northern border of Montana is 545 miles.

Two users I keep coming back to, and booty from a trip to France. Two blade stockman from mid 70s and a large Copperlock.

I haven’t sifted through this entire thread, but enough to be happy….. that my collection of (ballpark) 60 is tame. I’m not a collector per se, but I seem to acquire at a steady rate. Very few outright hunting knives (as I’m not a harvester) but several Case and SAKs including 3 alox Soldiers...

TG-4 here too. Have also used it (and loaned it to daughters) for free diving in Hawaii, Sri Lanka.

Thanks, somehow I missed that thread. Will be camping on the Chewuch with pals that week. I will be making DO J. Poppers for late night snacks. Probably make them up here and keep them in the cooler until the coals are ready.

Where when izat?

More on the Torqeedo: I haven’t pushed the limits and run out of power. There is an easy to use battery life indicator, so my intent generally is to start heading back at around 60%. Also, and this is likely true with all similar electric outboards, running at top speed you’ll sap the battery...
