Hey fabman...Were you drinking when you worked that field up???? Your lines are a little crooked...

I know that the only thing you got to do out there is drink and farm...but you're not suppose to do it at the same time...

Are you still not allowed to pump your own gas in Oregon, or did they finally change that law.

It is still that way, no self serve, here or in New Jersey. They do allow Bikers and people with classic cars/ trucks to do their own.

You can pump your own diesel too, just not gas.

We have 30 antelope, about 160+ Mule deer, 4-5 rocky mountain elk, chucker, cougar, a pair of bobcats, grouse, ducks, pheasants, and doves. I shot my elk about 150 feet from my back porch this year........

I have been in Oregon all my life. It is a beautiful state, the west is forested, lakes and rivers everywhere, excellent fishing and boating. The east is a high desert, very beautiful as well. the central part is the Cascade mountain range, huge mountains with suburb hiking and skiing. The coast is amazing, try driving up north! Sea food is excellent here. Portland is too big a city for me, but still a livable city, if you like cities.

No, we cant pump out own gas.. But we have no sales tax! (our property tax is way too high) The university system is very good as well, and the public schools are pretty good, excellent in some areas.

OK, I guess I like it here....

Copy that BF250.
I grew up in Central Or. Made the mistake of moving 500 miles south 25 yrs ago. Mom still lives in Redmond, has the view of 6 Mt. peaks out her front window. Sweet view.
Some kids never learn.....
