I'll have to keep an eye out for that sweet ride. I almost think I have seen you before, those are pretty distinctive.

Doubt there are two in our little metropolis anyway. If you haven't been you should check out the gun works muzzleloader shop in Springfield. Mostly BP oriented, but they have molds, dies, sizers, ingots, lube all in stock.

Not the greatest selection but at least they have something.

And welcome! Glad to know its not all hippies around here!

[littlejack]

Hippies!!!!!, I thought those were extinct?

Heck no, they grew up to be vice president................................

I work two blocks from the mission!, it's really to bad we can't shoot them!, and don't get me started on them #&^%%$ HIPPIES!, If they'd burn the UofO to the ground Eugene might not be to bad of a place to live?
If I ever get around to dropping the new engine in my RAMBLER we'll have to see how it stacks up against your Ford!?

Ha, Ha, Littlejack, Eugene & Springfield are full of young and old hippies. Unfortunately they are the ones carrying the vote in this county. There are just not enough of us good people.

In its day the goat was a fast buggy, until the chevy camaro and chevelle SS 396 & 427's came along. I have a friend who owns a 1964 GTO convertible, all stock and original, 389 tri-power, 100% restored, showroom condition, sweet ride, he does not come over any more as he is tired of me trying to buy it all the time.

[littlejack]

I understand that.
I have had many great memories of running the "GUT" (Willammette Street) here in Eugene. Conducting Speed Contests (racing) was a normal opccurance. I remember gas being 24.9 cents per gallon. We could buy 2.00 worth of gas and run all night long. Now 2.00 gets you a half gallon.
My wifes ex, had a 69 Dodge SuperBee with the 383 in it. That thing was a going conscern. There wasn't much around here that would outrun it.

Ain't that the truth.

Welcome fellow Orygunian! Well, the second best thing I ever did was to escape L.A. and move to Brookings (married to my current wife is #1, and quit drinking mebbe third, or mebbe...). Went steelhead fishing in the Chetco last week, and shooting a couple days before that. Both less than 30 minutes outta my driveway.

Hi mdi:

I know this is a "Boolit" site, however you said, "fishing", and now ya got me goin on fishing. When I am not makin Boolits I am fishing. Do you like to fish the ocean? If so, I fish the ocean alot, this will be my 41st year fishing the ocean etc. I will send you a PM about fishin. Thanks for the welcome.

[fcvan]

MDI, which boolit do you use on steelhead? own here on the Smith River I think you have to use steel boolits. Dad burned california. I think its time to head back to Colorado for a spell

[Pilgrim]

Steelhead!! Off topic, sorta...my 1st steelhead was collected (please note not caught) about age 14. I was meandering a low swampy area about a mile below the house with my ever present .22 rifle. Spotted a small steely in an irrigation ditch and after a bunch of shots and running up and down the ditch I got it! Well, at least I was using a lead boolit so it is sorta on topic. Boolits are really useful things, doncha know.

[CobraMan]

Hi Pilgrim: I guess you can get away with that in Washington, however, here in Oregon there are to many wanna be environmentalists which if they saw you do this they would turn you in and Oregon law would throw the book at you. Its real weird here in Eugene Oregon as we currently have 6 criminals convicted of murder walking the streets because of jail overcrowding, however, if you jaywalk they prosecute you. Liberal Land Oregon, I read a post the other day a guy was complaining about all the freebies in Oregon, foodstamps, welfare etc., which is true, way to many freebies, and then he throws in, Oregon, where Men are Men and sheep are SCARED, ohhhh boy, I told my wife that and she says don't leave the house without( BlackMamba), my 45 acp Springfield Tactical, and I said no worries.

[Pilgrim]

Cobra - One of my older bro's lived in Eugene for many years. U of O mucky muck. Now retired. Liberal almost thru & thru. Likes fishing and travels great distances to do so, so I guess there is some reality in there yet. Back when I whacked that steely (over 50 yrs ago) boys with rifles were not unusual. Also collecting a steely with a .22 would have been OK with everyone but a game warden. Maybe OK with many of them! Bunny huggers and their like were considered seriously whacko. Thanks to the press and political correctness those folk are thought of as heroes and to be emulated. Sad. SORRY for the off topic post. Pilgrim

[CobraMan]

Pilgrim, I am not a fan of politics or the way the U of Oregon, whoops, I mean Phil Knight University, or Nike University is run, to me those in the P.K University are all running around with their noses in the air and think they walk on water, anyway, go BOOLITS.

[Doc65]

I was back "home" (born just outside the university in question) about a year ago & drove thru the U, couldn't believe all the Nike buildings that are "only" for athletes. I was sick with all the sell out for the PK money. Still love the area, but can't stand the politics.
