hi chipper - car problems on the roadIt's not bad compared to what I've been seeing, normally .08-.09/rnd. I have plenty so I won't be getting any soon, unless I find a deal that's better than that. I do a good bit of bartering so who knows what kinda bargain I can find.
Today it was a shelving unit for the barn(when it's finished) and a bunch of other random odds and ends, second stop was 400 2.5" self tapping screws for trailer decking, third stop was a boat trailer I'll probably sell. Hit another stop after swinging through the house to look at another trailer that had been hit in the back when haulinga load of hay, passed on it as ive got enough projects, and it was a bit too much for me right now. When I pulled in the drive of the third stop I smelled antifreeze, by the time I opened the door the car was steaming pretty bad, ended up being a heater hose. I had no wrenching tools with me, glad the guy was super helpful
. Pulled the distributor and the air intake and got the hose removed, then ran to a local guys house to get a hose. Sure glad he was able to help and willing, could have been a bad situation. It also could have been bad if that would have happened when we were out in east Ohio, it was bad enough I had a flat and had to change to the spare, then buy a tire repair kit and fix that out there.
Loaded my 4x8 trailer on the boat trailer to save a trip, the 98 Honda odyssey with 273.5K liked it.

Cape Chiniak is my King and Halibut fishing stomping grounds bud! I actually have property and live across the bay from Kodiak out on Cape Chiniak in a very small rural community.Well, now Im living in a logging camp on Afognak Island and probably will be for a few years!
Nothing better than fresh salmon fillets right after the catch cooked right there doesn’t get any better
speaking of bears, I'net Explorer had a news story on the feed this morning... woman out camping. bear showed up and she ran it off!

i can take it almost any way. i like salmon better than beef! smoked over Alder, hard to beat, hot out ouf the smoker...
brown sugar candy sweet, even better!

Some bigger shops meet have it, some office buildings but not all (where I work does so I've been in the office last 2 days for that reason!) Virtually no homes will have a/c. We don't need it. Or rather we didn't. We don't do extreme weather is any kind. We are warmed by the gulf stream so have a very mild winter but we are on the same latitude as Halifax Nova Scotia,. We are a small island well North so summers are mild. We don't do high wind, we don't do heavy rain. We just do mild. Every shade of mild, but mild. Until the last decade. Now we have infrastructure that isn't built for heat or flooding (last July it rained heavy for the whole month, extensive flooding in London) or cold... We can't cope.The news said only 1 percent of England people have air conditioning that’s not good

You should get the Oxy. You don't have to take them now, but save them for when you feel better LOL
I'll take Sockeye Salmon over any of the other types. Very pink, and a higher fat content. I've got pictures coming up on my FB page of "remember when" type of stuff. I think it was eight years ago today that we were in Alaska on the Kenai Peninsula during the Sockeye run. We all caught our limit of 3 per person per day. It was awesome. Cost us a bundle to have it shipped back on the plane with us after we'd smoked it, but it was well worth it. It was also nice, that our family member lived right there on the river, and we just had to walk 100 yards down to his boardwalk to fish, and not have to travel, or drag a boat somewhere to do it.you are right there Sg - or fresh steelhead out of the Green River there in Seattle... i have had both! rewrites the word: delicious!!

Me and a buddy from Texas went through basic and tech school together and then on to Alaska (NE Cap, St Larence Isle) for 1 year assignment. While waiting processing in Anchorage he checked out a rifle from the base recreation shop and went on a bear hunting excursion. Came back without the rifle "when that bear stood up from behind that bush I...." "If they want that rifle, they can go get it!"
Take it easy Mike. You'll be feeling better before ya know it.

Back in the 70's I bought king crab right off the boats in Homer, 50 cents a pound. Personally, I'm not fond on Dungeness, and also to be honest, I got burnt out on salmon long ago.i have hand picked fresh live Dungeness out of the fishing boat holds there in Homer....

Here's the last two I caught,
It's like moose, I've shot so many that I got to the point I wouldn't even shoot them, caribou is just soooo much better eatin!
