Game Camera hidden near gate angled to be sure to get license plate number!
Better yet, get one of those new remote version camera's. You can sit in the house, watch the gate and remotely fire that Vulcan Gatling Gun!

Someone 2 years ago, stopped on the bridge and dumped a washer and dryer into the creek. County had to send a diver out to get them hooked up and hoisted out.

We also found a big bag of garbage out at the farm a few years ago that had been thrown over the fence into the camas flats.
No mail in it with an address identifying a perp. However.....the folks were a little promiscuous. There were a number of VHS taped home video's in the bag. Yep, XXX hard core home video's. PCSO Deputy was laughing his @#s off! Of course I only got to a see a few minutes of one to see if I could identify the couple in the home video's. I didn't recognize them and was told it would do no good to view the rest as it was the same couple on all of them. I tried to pull the retired cop card, but they still wouldn't let me see the others.

However, the idiots also had a tape in there with them running 4 wheelers in front of their very recognizable house on a tree farm not too far from the ranch. The deputy and I both recognized the house and the hillside. From what I hear, they didn't enjoy the visit from deputy. He is not sure which bothered them more, the ticket they got or the video tapes that were now locked away in "evidence" at the Sheriff's office. Apparently the idiot didn't realize his wife had put those tapes in there and she thought he was taking the garbage to the dump.

Jim......Did you hear about the big shooting/police stand-off just a couple miles up-river in Blue River?
Some old fart was taking pot-shots at people out of the window of his house (no, it wasn't me) OSP LCSD finally talked him out.........haven't heard anything since, been a couple days now.

put the 327 in the corner
Part out the other truck
take the money from parting out the other truck and rebuild the 327
Sell the 350 and you then have the money to take care of the cosmetics on the jimmy


Pretty sure this will get a less than desirable response from someone, but that's ok, FTE has a thing I can click on called Ignore list if he grates on my nerves too much
Morning Folks! You might be right, but my run of luck without backing is chitty.

Cosmetics weren't the issue. I'd just break out the azz cutter stool I made and drive it around like that. Its insurance, renting a shop, and getting them home.
And.... I like having a roof. If I tried that without full backing.... Too many fam. Members been there done that.

Heck... Gramps 1968 Jeepster Commando, bought brand new off the lot always needed work. He can recount every sleepless night making sure he could get to and from work.

This is probably the response you were expecting and will wind me up on the ignore list, but oh well.

EDIT: im still looking to buy them, but other things need to happen first.

Don't sweat it Dustin. Harley and I will part them out. We have a guy that will give him $800 for the rebuilt 350 and another that will pay $500 for the uncracked ramshorn headers on the 327. With the fenders and bed non-rusty we can sell them for a good price also. Hate to see them parted out, but to much time has passed and we want them GONE...

Good to know, but i still feel like crap knowing I wasted so much of your time like that.

Now that I think about it, I may not buy a truck at all. Im close to being off to college, which means a change in insurance. I may buy a motorcycle. Assuming my parents leave me the 93.

Armed/Barricaded Subject near Blue River in Custody - Lane County - 03/18/15
*** Update ***

Oregon State Police have taken the person involved in today's armed stand-off in Lane County near Blue River into custody.

Preliminary information indicates that shortly before 10:00 p.m., members of the Oregon State Police SWAT team took the man, identified as 60-year-old DAVID L. SHOPTAW, of Blue River, into custody on several criminal charges including Unlawful use of a weapon, Menacing, Reckless Endangering, and Pointing a Firearm at another. SHOPTAW barricaded himself shortly before 2:00 p.m. today and although he was subdued by a taser he was not seriously injured during his arrest. He is being transported for further evaluation to a Eugene Area Hospital.

Earlier today, neighbors in the area reported a man, later identified as SHOPTAW, had fired multiple rounds out the window of his cabin at or near people who were walking in the area. When troopers arrived on scene, SHOPTAW indicated he had weapons and may have been experiencing a mental health crisis.

This investigation is ongoing and no further information is available at this time. OSP was assisted at the scene by the Lane County Sheriff's Office, Oregon Department of Transportation and McKenzie Fire and Rescue. No photograph is immediately available.
