    My grandparents were similar. My grandfather worked concrete jobs and my grandmother picked berries, hops or did other odd jobs while he was working. My mom and her sister went to many different schools growing up in the 40's and early 50's. Funny coincidence I am retired now and live in...

    SW Oregon Coast area so under the full eclipse. Foggy here (go figure) so we couldn't see anything. It got kind of dark as my automatic outside light on my shed turned on. Wasn't dark enough that if I was driving I would have needed headlights. Should have gone fishing, maybe it would make...

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    The shop does sell only Star Tron. Figure he can sell any and all brands he wants and make the same amount of $ on any of them. All he said is that Sta-bil didn't work as advertised in his experience. I think they all work about they same, if you use them, and I have used both. One thing he...

    I run ethanol free gas in all my two strokes. Also use it in my boat motors. Local marine shop said they do not sell or recommend Sta- Bil fuel stabilizer. Told me it causes more problems in boat motors than it solves. Their recommendation is to use Star Tron in the fuel.

    My info on schools is dated as my youngest is now 31. When we moved to SE Idaho we found the schools much more conservative than in Oregon which is part of why we moved. I think they are still that way but can't really say. Overall quality of education is good. Touching on a topic someone...

    IDAHO,WYOMING,MONTANA,UTAH

    Until 2019, we lived 50 miles south of Idaho Falls for 23 years so I can tell you some about the area. Idaho Falls is the largest city in SE Idaho and has just about all the shopping and related stuff you would want. A lot of jobs of there, many directly or indirectly related to the Idaho...

    Wow, that is a step up from Wamsutter but still pretty isolated. Used to go to Medicine Bow to shoot P-dogs. Stayed in the Virginian Hotel. Those were good times, except for when it snowed in late June while we were there.

    What (if any) is your 2nd favorite hobby?

    It is a ling cod. About 20% of the lings are blue. Seems there is not an agreed upon reason for the coloring. Interestingly even the fillets are blue but turn white when cooked. Lings are the best tasting of the rockfish we catch. These fish are eating machines with lots of teeth.

    Movin Trucks

    Screw Budget. Four years ago was moving from Idaho to Oregon and reserved a Budget truck, the largest they had available, about 4 weeks before needing it. Go to pick it up and was told they didn't have one because Budget was getting out of the truck rental business. They said they would try...

    The by products of lumber and plywood production are too valuable to burn now even if you could. Back in the late 80's when I was working for Weyerhaeuser we would send 1x4's to the chipper because they were worth more as chips for paper pulp than finished lumber. Now with oriented strand...

    Should have been named Oak Valley then as the Willamette doesn't flow on the ridges. What is sad about Oakridge is the decline of the area over the last 40 years. When I was in high school, it was a much more prosperous community (timber industry) and larger population.

    Name is not familiar to me. Grew up in the Fall Creek/Lowell area.

    Can't be, no Douglas Fir trees around. Grew up a few miles from Oakridge and couldn't figure out how they came up with the name as I never saw any oak trees there.
