    Hmmm, now I'm curious how that block list works, I am assuming it would be the ignore list I keep hearing about. I figured you would not be able to see a post by someone on it, is that not correct.

    Luckily, at least in the part of America I have been to, someone was feeding us already. Infact, lots of farmers are paid not to produce. lol

    Miss Barbie can ride horses again.
    My health came back. Some say it was because I was working 18 hour days, 7 days a week.
    Obama recently had specialists fix my vision now I'm back like new again. I can now hand tool leather again like when I was a young.
    Obama paid for Barbies medical bills and is reimbursing me for my financial losses.
    Obama sent Barbie to school and she tentatively has several jobs pending that pay twice what she was originally making.

    And to who it may concern thinking I moved to Vegas for the lights and gambling, drugs, hookers, driving around in a Lamborghini wearing Armani suits. tsk tsk I don't live in a home full of Las Vegas Show Girls and Exotic Dancers with a brass pole in my living room either as some have stated in a few past posts. <eyes rolling>
    I partake in none of this. I have never ever drank alcohol to this day and really have trouble understanding this whole inebriation thing.
    Actually in the past, while wifey was at her cocktail job I chatted most Fri and Sat nights with the late Bob Krack and Mooseman in AK into the late hours in the mourning via phone.
    I came to Vegas for an engineering job. That's it. Those here that have corresponded with me are aware of this. No one knows or will ever know where I worked.

    I also hung out with ranching people, as in "In a saddle on horse" when I lived in CO as a youth. That goes for AZ also.
    Again, those here that have taken the inconvenience of corresponding with me are aware of this. Those that have not are presuming.

    Most summer school breaks, Gramps flew me into DFW to come help him out on his ranch.



    So the observant ones here have noticed I am going back to my roots.

    Someone needs to step up to the plate to feed America. The youth of today as a whole surely won't take on this responsibility.

    WA isn't so bad and I know you can handle the grey months of fall & winter.
    I fish A LOT more than I shoot and this State is tough to beat, you know?
    Granted, outside of OUTSTANDING albacore offshore in summer, we don't get marlin, dorado, yellowtail, sea bass and the other warm-water glamour species of southern states, we make up for it with salmon, steelhead, sturgeon, halibut, lingcod, largemouth, smallmouth, walleye, crappie, perch, bluegill and TONS of great trout fishing in lakes, rivers, the Sound and offshore.
    But you knew that already!

    Good for you two, Duke!

    Jumbeaux, you are on my list of harangue-ers I have blocked so I can't see your post.
    Total of 5 so far.
    Feel free to start your own thread about your own ventures.

    Yea so it looks like we both decided to go Deer and Elk hunting again. We reside in both states so that should be good.
    The one thing I can't handle anymore is hot weather.

    I have a couple Alumaweld jet boats sitting in my garage in Vancouver WA with the motors pulled out of them just waiting for rebuilding and future runnings on the mouth of the Umpqua River.
    Hopefully I'll sell one of my homes that don't have all the timber on it because we have a Timberking bandsaw mill on our wish list.

    No experience with the timberking, but I picked up a woodmizer this last year, and it is amazing what a guy can do with it.

    My family farmed for 200 years in the US. A horse is an expense but a steer is potential profit. The ranch idea is nice if you want to justify having horses. Its a lifestyle I like but as a business, the horses eat feed that would feed beef that you could sell. Is it profit or pleasure you want to be a rancher for

    Man I really love that lower Umpqua from where it comes down the mountain from Roseburg to where it levels out.
