Where I grew up in Bend several rivers one had to deal with them pesky rattle snakes to fish.

they will fight you for the fish you caught. seriously.

knee high boots.

had an old rod I used to thrash the crap out of the grass to get to the water.

snake shot in a pistol should fix the wild rodent.

i'd love to shoot a few. too many people, buildings, and such, around.

yeah that takes all the fun out of it.

I caught myself fly fishing once. Right in the face...

This one time at band camp... No wait, just regular summer camp...

We had some kick ass capture the flag games... I was being chased by one of the counselors who also happened to play college football... He was catching up to me, I was running straight towards a big ass pine tree. I thought I could cut left at the last second and have him tangle with the tree....

Didn't happen. I misjudged the distance, was looking behind me, turned forward and WHAM! right into the tree I went, full bore. Laid myself out. A bunch of people run up, asking if I'm okay.. I could not stop laughing, though it really did hurt. :D

remind me to never ever go into the woods with you.

Good thing you're posting on here, Dave. I heard about a Cessna with a student pilot that landed in someone's backyard in Santa Monica. And thought of you and Grivas, of course. Not that I expect either one of you to crash--but you're the only guys I know taking airplane flying lessons, right now.

yeah he's on FB to so he's in two places at once. some backyard might be a stretch for three.

Chris has been long done with the lessons. He's trying to accrue hours so he can try for a commercial flying job. I'm the one on long term thing... :)

No crash here. I've not been up for a week. And that was with Chris. I prefer landing on approved runways, thank you. A nice wide road will work in an emergency as well.

I'm no longer on FB, so no up-to-the-breaking-minute updates for me. I have to get my world feed through this thread.

Whoops! Not a great way to end your first solo...

FB is waste of time but I got sucked in for a high school reunion. Its fun to keep up with a few friends from the way back and the few new ones from here. but I don't let it rule my life yet..................

Really??? Is that why you are chatting with me right now? :D :D :D How about the other night camping? :D You're caught up in it, hook, line and sinker!

Morning guys


Those are great pictures, Nynor. Post card locations!

ok so you and two other people I chat with. so shoot me and no I ain't bringing the beer this time.

thanks.

Evening guys... FB is a major time suck for sure. Its pretty much always open if my computer is open...

Got a phone call today to come in for an interview for the campus job next week. Hopefully I get it..

cool good luck.

yeah it could waste time. I check a few local bands and keep up with the 13 year old kid to make sure he's playing it safe. Other than a few friends I pretty much ignore the rest.

Oh and take abuse from SloDave.............
