    NFR Need vehicle opinions.

    Anyone here have experience with the Dodge Durango? I'm interested in the V6 version. Just starting my research. So far it sounds like they're a generally reliable rig (200k+ regularly) with plenty of power, lots of room and very good mileage for the size and performance. The problems I'm...

    Oh dont get me wrong. I think singing O Canada at that game was great. Just dont think the performance landed particularly well.

    America won the anthem singing contest tonight. Bare Naked Ladies, woof, 4 part harmonies aren't your thing are they?

    this... ^ If K9 can get his workload up and consistently play similar to how he played last night then I'll consider saying, 'ya, it was a mistake letting him go'. But even then, if Jadarian Price puts up the kind of numbers he appears capable of it was probably still the right move financially.

    The 2 things that stuck with me were: 1. Walker, he had another gear last night. His ability to square his shoulders, move laterally find a seam and tear through it is unparalleled across the few games and RBs that I've seen sof far. There were times when his direction cuts looked like they...

    I think he was 'disagreeing' with Hollins gesturing that the catch was out of bounds. But man, watching that video just reinforces what a terrible throw that was. Maye is fading back and to the right and throws off his back foot... I'm sure that'll be a topic for him this week with his coaches...

    Rain

    It feels like we went from dog days of summer to 'fall is here' overnight in the Roseburg OR area. But looking at the calendar it appears we'll be getting some nice weather, sunny and in the 70's <edit> in about week starting Monday <\edit>. Probably not time to pull in the lawn furniture just yet.

    Interesting... To me the full synthetic oil change every 5k is a no brainer. I do them myself. I can do 2 vehicles at home in less time than it takes to drive to town and wait for a grease monkey. Auto companies bragging about 10k or more between oil changes are just trying to sell more...

    A little over 1in of rain expected in Roseburg tomorrow. Been a really long dry spell here.

    D and NU closures

    I don't know, that feels like it's really on the margins? Assuming pointless fishing would only be allowed when water temps are safe for fish , then it's hard to imagine getting a fish to rise for a hookless fly would have any measurable impact on the fish or fishery? I think a fly tied on a...

    D and NU closures

    I agree with the decision for the NU. They should have shut it down sooner; late June or early July. The numbers are crap and the water has been warm and low since June. I doubt it would ever happen, but I'd love to see a special permit for pointless dry fly fishing starting once water temps...

    Skagit, or sorta' Skagit head

    Not what you were asking for, but another option to consider if the goal is to cast a 15ft Rio tip. I use a Rio Short Head Spey on my 7130. The last 15' loops on just like a versa-tip line. I can't turn over big/weighted flies with it, but it's a pleasure to cast singles and snake rolls with...

    Right now, if I had to bet on it, I would pick the M's to win the AL West. But there's too many variables to make a full throated prediction. On the other hand. They just won 2 against a team that's been putting up crooked numbers. Is it time for another a$$ whooping loss?

    Those amazing young Royals have a pretty big hill to climb, but it's baseball and dang near September. If you're not out mathematically you could be in. Best of luck, unless they face the Mariners.

    Ya it sucks, but I'll take a series win with a shellac'ing in game 3 over a series loss with 3 competitive games... and so would the Cubs if they could spin that old Cher album and 'turn back time.' The M's are actually doing better in this stretch against tough teams than I expected AND...
