Yeh I read that there are fires up that way, same reason California and Oregon? Forest mismanagement? The Indians in the past cleared the brush and guess what? Lightning strike caused fires were less likely. Common sense is hard to find on THAT side! left or right you decide.... The loggers around here keep the forest managed.

The Astoria–Megler Bridge is a steel cantilever bridge that spans the Columbia River, connecting the towns of Astoria, Oregon and Megler, Washington. It is approximately 4.1 miles (6.6 km) long, making it the longest continuous truss bridge in North America. The bridge was completed in 1966 and was the final segment of U.S. Route 101 to be connected between California and Washington. It was originally a toll bridge, but tolls were removed in 1993. The bridge plays a key role in regional transportation and offers scenic views of the Columbia River and the Pacific Ocean.

Good morning all. Raining here again. We’ve had over nine inches in the last couple of weeks. Lots of flooding and road closures. Ive got water in the shop floor to clear out today but fortunately nothing too serious.

Mornin all.
Yesterday evolved into a migraine.
Got the dogs suppered then flipped and flopped till 4:30 this morning.
Supposed to be a busy day today.


A piece of toast and coffee and the couch calls from an unearned non drinking hangover.
Neck bones. Was losing feeling in hands again. Too much looking behind on the tractor.
Broken off crown tooth still has the roots. Might be infecting my pea sized brain.

Well was happy at first to be one of the 100 where I ordered my XP HF2 coil to have made the cut and get one delivered out. However UPS got the coil close to home then delayed it with no explanation now for days. Tried customer support but got foreign call center garbage that I can't stand that really didn't help. Thinking the morons of UPS lost it. I'm feeling really pissed off as it was one thing I was looking forward to in my lately frustrating and crap fest my life has been lately.

It seems like it's all of them these days. We've had major problems with FedEx, UPS, USPS and even cargo carriers.
A couple years ago I ordered a kayak from Tractor supply. It shipped from Phoenix, went to LA, then to Denver, then to Sacramento, then made it to Sparks (the other half of Reno basically).
I was on the phone trying to get them to let me pick it up at the Sparks location. Nope, no can do!
They then sent it to Salt Lake City, Ogden, Las Vegas and finally delivered it after 24 days of travel.
It was beat to crap and not even wrapped or protected by anything, just sliding around in the trailer.

I called Tractor supply and they refunded my money and told me to keep the kayak.
