    What is the weather like in your AO today?

    As posted previously, lot of high water around here and it happens about every winter/rainy season. Seems some people can't read high water signs and don't have sense enough to figure out water is getting deeper as they drive into it. Let's drive down a flooded road

    What is the weather like in your AO today?

    We have had 9+ inches of rain since last Thursday, even more in the coastal mountains. River went from about 12 feet to 35 feet, 5 over flood stage. High water on this road is normal in the winter but not this deep. Fortunately most of the low lying ground under water is pasture or hay...

    What is the weather like in your AO today?

    We are a balmy 46 degrees and wet, very wet. Another inch of rain overnight. Local rivers are pushing flood stage. Normal winter flow level on the Coquille is 8 to 10 feet. Flood stage is 30 feet and the river level is just under that.

    Maggie’s The Retired Guy Thread

    Years ago I worked with a guy who had a count down to his retirement on his phone. He was quick to pull it out and tell people just how much longer he would be caring about work.

    If you can sign up for Health Savings Account (not an annual use it or lose it flexible spending account), the money you put in it can be used to cover medical expenses after you retire. I had a HSA for 15 years or so, put money it in pre-tax and when I retired had north of $25k in the account...

    Southern Oregon coast. From the bottom up they are ling cod, black rockfish and there is a copper in there. All good eating fish. Lings are in the 5 to 7 lb range but can go up to 40+ lbs. Others are 2 to 5 lbs. Lots of fun on lighter gear. Probably toss back 20+ fish per trip. In the...

    Maggie’s The Retired Guy Thread

    I retired in June 2021. Was at a point in life dealing with work that I just said screw it, I don't need this anymore. Now I wonder how I have enough time to get things done. Since retiring I have added a covered front porch, remodeled an area off the master bedroom to expand the bathroom and...

    Supreme Court shot down hearing the case on IL semiauto ban...

    Explanation of SCOTUS decision Not the end of the legal process. Just a ruling that it will proceed through the legal process in a normal manner. Actually allows this Bevis case to be combined with others.

    Gun talk at work

    When living/working in SE Idaho, guns and hunting where common topics at work for a lot of employees. It was just part of life in that area. When I became president of a 1500 member gun range, I had a lot of people would come talk to me about guns and stuff at work, either as I was in the...

    Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

    Spent some time working for the Forest Service at Mapleton OR long, long ago. The road crew knew where all the elk where. Said they only hunted up hill from the roads as you can drag them downhill up trying to do it uphill is almost impossible because of the slopes and amount of undergrowth.

    Taking a cruise with a$$holes.........................

    Have been on two cruises, the last one was in 2005 or so. Went with some family friends and it was interesting. Drove down from SE Idaho to Long Beach. Half way down, the friends decided they needed new tires for their suburban so we had to stop so they could buy them and get them installed...

    Maggie’s What's Your View II

    My view via a picture sent to me yesterday. Buck shot by my grandson in Missouri who turned 10 about a week ago. One shot at a lazered 320 yards. Son said that he thought it was a big bodied spike but it turned out its antlers were broken off. Grandson used a rifle I built for his dad. Parker...

    SE Idaho Fall Foliage Son in Law has a youtube channel, XTForTheKing. While he just posted this video it was filmed from a couple of weeks ago. There is some beautiful country out there when you get to higher elevations and out of the desert.

    Went to a 6 man football game about 30 minutes from where I live. Really cool field, surrounded on 3 sides by tall douglas firs.

    Airport at Pocatello gives you one choice for where to fly to, Salt Lake City. And that is only a couple of times a day. I used to fly out of Pocatello for work and you could plan on at least a half day just for travel on the west coast. Going to the east coast, it would take an entire day...
