Good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 43 and raining cats and dogs.


Grass is getting knee high to a Giraffe and it's way to wet to mow. Thought I would try throwing up a rooster tail with the lawn mower yesterday, but the grass just clogged up under the deck and stalled the motor out. Only took about 2 minutes to figure out that was not one of the better ideas.

Good evening Oregon and everyone everywhere else. Rain finally quit for a bit and we had some sun this afternoon. Got a bunch of stuff out of the old boat. Now to sort it out get some of it stowed in the new boat and the items mounted that need to be attached.

No I don't! Had them before, sister has a bunch now. It will be years before the horse barn, loafing shed and apple orchard ever smell the same again.

Not much room on that for the wife and two kids...


I started to get a couple of things done in the new to us boat under tarp, but then the rain broke and the sun actually came out. No heat value, but I took advantage of it and went and got a bunch of stuff out of the old boat. Got the mounts loosened and recovered my rocket launchers, gps puck antennae, sonar cables and transducer along with a bunch of life jackets, fish cleaning table and other odds and ends. I didn't realize just how many life jackets we have accumulated over the years. I was laying the smaller ones out and you can see the progression in size for the kids and the grandkids from small to large. Not so sure one of them wasn't for a Barbie Doll.

Already had taken two yard tub loads of stuff to the garage and the new boat before I thought to take a picture.

Orange and Black. So is it the 250 or 300? Which spot will be your first ride?

It's a 300. I'll be going down to Shotgun Creek later this week where I've been an OHV Ranger the past few years. Riding familiar trails will be good for me to get used to it.

Good evening Oregon FTE, made it home in one piece.
I will be installing driving lights on the van tomorrow for those folks that don't want to dim their high beams.

Oh nice. While I have not been on the 300, I hear great things. Enjoy.
