hunting season is finally here

feeds@yuku.com (oldguide32) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 10:50:33 GMT

Actually Oregon now has so many different seasons that the hunting regs are 75 pages long. I have already used a week of my cow season, the first bull season ended yesterday, the seacond bull season starts next week and I also have two weeks of cow season in December. I recall my 29 years of hunting in Montana when we just had HUNTING SEASON! It was 5 weeks long and you shot any elk, deer etc during that time. Simple and effective. When I first moved there your hunting license included...

Guess its You and Me, Tom

feeds@yuku.com (kdub01) — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 11:54:21 GMT

Seems most folks have bailed out of this site.

That's really a shame, as we used to have some good discussions. Notice for the past couple of months, only you and I have been posting with anything near regular.

Update: Got the "exterior fixater" off the arm and now have almost full use of the left, which is my dominent hand (although I shoot, eat, use hand tools and other things with the right). Able to once again use both hands typing instead of...

Rehab Sucks

feeds@yuku.com (kdub01) — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 10:51:59 GMT

Began the first of 8 weeks rehab on the broken and dislocated left elbow. To compound matters, I'm mostly left handed. Have a mechanical contrivance attached to the arm via 2 stainless rods embedded in the upper arm and 2 in the forearm bones. Has a locking circular disc at the elbow that can be loosened for torturous exercising of the arm 3 times a day. Needless to say, I'm not overjoyed with the program.

Doc says the brace should come off in 8 weeks - just in time for...

Summer finally?

feeds@yuku.com (oldguide32) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 08:48:29 GMT

At least we have a heavy rain right now. I got up about 5:30 this morning (bad habit) to heavy downpour.

Well, time really marches. Both of the younger boys graduated this week from Oregon State. Joseph is here now , he got two degrees , one in mathematics and one in engineering. Graduate magna cum laude. Jake was Summa cum laude in engineering. Jake will stay for 2 more years gettin a Masters degree. They offered him a full ride. Joseph is in training to rapelll out of...

Winter's Almost Over

Summer's almost arrived in South Dakota.

We can see the deer moving around.

Yep, won't be long now.

Anybody else's state restating their sovereignty(sp?)

feeds@yuku.com (livefireok) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 22:14:24 GMT

So, I just learned this week that last year Oklahoma passed a resolution putting the federal government on notice, of sorts, that they are re-stating the states sovereignty as prescribed in the 10th ammendment. It basically states that the federal government must stop taking away the states rights and violating the constitution.

There are suppose to be about 20 states with similar resolutions either passed or pending. Anyone else checked into this?

Winch Model 62A value????

feeds@yuku.com (timberbeast) — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 03:01:27 GMT

I have one of these with a starting Ser#271, don't have it in my hand now, but I'm thinking '49 0r '50 for year. Bluing has got to be at LEAST 85%, there is some rust staining in a few areas, maybe starting to pit a little. Bore is bright, rifling looks good to me. Shoots and functions great. 'Tis all original, from what I can tell, buttplate is there, too.
A guy has to get more than $285 for this, don't you think?

Stock Restoration Testimonial

feeds@yuku.com (griz) — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 17:06:07 GMT

I have had for a number of years a Model 14, in 25 Remington that had some very unflattering amateur checkering applied to the stock. Recently this stock was sent off to Clint Meier, Lee's Summit Missouri for removal of the offending checkering. I just got is back and was most pleased with the results. Clint sanded off the offending checkering entirely, and feathered the wood up to meet the metal. This thinned the grip a bit from side to side, but did not change it from top to...

Boring History???

feeds@yuku.com (DakotaSwede) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 09:32:12 GMT

The next time you are washing your hands and
complain because the water temperature isn't just
how you like it, think about how things used to be
..... Here are some facts about the 1500's:

Most people got married in June because they took
their yearly bath in May and still smelled pretty
good by June. However, they were starting to smell
so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the
body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying

If You Grew Up in the Rural Midwest.

You know how to polka, but never tried it sober.
You know what knee-high by the Fourth of July means.
You know it is traditional for the bride and groom to go bar hopping between the reception and wedding dance.
You know the difference between "Green" and "Red" farm machinery, and would fight with your friends on the playground over which was better!
You buy Christmas presents at Fleet Farm.

Who likes Christmas specials???

feeds@yuku.com (DakotaSwede) — Sun, 14 Dec 2008 14:06:13 GMT

I love watching Christmas specials this time of year...especially Hallmark & Family channel. Wife & kids can curl up in the evening and plug into seasonal theater. My all time favorites are "the Christmas Story" (Red Ryder BB Gun Saga) and "Its a Wonderful Life". Some of the newer ones are also good...The Christmas Shoes...based off a country western song for example. I also like the "Surviving Christmas " movie wth Ben Affleck and " A...

Uncle John's Bathroom Reader...Go with the Flow...

feeds@yuku.com (DakotaSwede) — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 17:28:59 GMT

Uncle Johns Bathroom Readers are a series of books put out for my personal enjoyment and edification...actually they are available everywhere but I am hoping that I can introduce my TFE friends to them. I have been addicted for a couple years now...since I acquired one at a garage sale. They are a series of articles...short, medium, and long that are designed to make for light reading and enjoyment. You are supposed to keep a copy in the "throne room" but I keep mine by my chair for...

Hey guys, long time no see

feeds@yuku.com (SKS kid) — Tue, 25 Nov 2008 16:45:01 GMT

God, I cant remember the last time I posted on this board... I was going through some old things on my computer and I came across a file that I had made saving a lot of my responses and coversations I had made on this board and I felt the urge to try and login and see if it even still existed. Im glad to see that its still up and running and that all of you guys are still here in your free time. I saw the top of the page..... If nobody minds my asking what happened to TY? I really liked him....

Free internet for everyone in the future?

feeds@yuku.com (livefireok) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 20:49:28 GMT

Hopefully, our lil town of Ponca City is starting a new trend and not just a passing fad. The city is now providing free wi-fi internet access citywide. Supposedly we are the first town in the US to do so. It all started a while back (year?) when the company that developed the system gave a grant to the city to set up a MESH (seems like thats what they called it) system. It originally was for all the city employees to able to commicate effectively and be able to access information...

DRIVING

Two elderly women were out driving in a large car - both could barely see
over the dashboard.
As they were cruising along, they came to an intersection.
The stoplight was red, but they just sailed right on
through.
The woman in the passenger seat
thought to herself 'I must be losing it; I could have sworn we just went
through a red light.'
Two blocks later, they came to...

Clouder's New Website

I'm now listed as a new release on a publisher's website and I've put up a website of my own as they suggested. If you'd like to know more about me and what I write, I've ppsted two chapters from each of the nine books I've written, plus a teaser synopsis for each.

Many of you will remember when I started this saga, some had faith I'd get here, some didn't. Both were inspiration, thanks.

I'd be beholden if you'd visit and comment on...

It's a family tradition

Ok, before you get scared, I am not gonna break out into a chorus of Hank Jr. I hope this note finds everyone doing well and looking forward to the upcoming holiday season.

While we were making breakfast this morning, I got to thinking about the little family traditions, or perhaps habits, that we pass on to our kids. What kind of traditions do you have?

What touched it off was that on my weekends with the kids, Sunday we(my daughter and I mostly) make breakfast...
