My Granddad tried to talk me into reading Louis L'Amour's Hondo when I was in High School in the '70's. I thought to myself, "What does a French guy know about the old West?" :roll: ( was I stupid or what?) But I read the book anyway, loved it, and been reading his books ever since. I have...

For all Oregonians, have you cast your ballot?

I hand-delivered mine, but I live within 6 blocks of the county courthouse.

My Dad's parents immigrated from Germany in 1929. Somehow, my grandparent's brothers and sisters survived the War. I grew up listening to horror stories about the "old country." As a young man, one of my most profound moments occured when I met a man with numbers tatooed on his arm. I vowe...

Another Oregonian! Welcome. Do we have enough folks for a meet-up yet?

Had to share this. An older lady gets pulled over for speeding... Older Woman: Is there a problem, Officer? Officer: Ma'am, you were speeding. Older Woman: Oh, I see. Officer: Can I see your license please? Older Woman: I'd give it to you but I don't have one. Officer: Don't have one? Older Woman: L...

A friend and I heard the program, as well. What's funny about us together is, he is an electrician, but went to automotive school, I am a millwright (industial mechanic) but went to electronics school. We spent many hours discussing this HHO system, how to build one, how to make it work, even if we ...

Cherokee Purple +1.

And strawberries as well.

Griff,

I should have said one hour and 20 minutes drive west. I'm not in real deep water, unless the valley floods, am I? We call our valley Winter Lake for a reason.

So, let me know if you're ever get within 100 miles of me, if I have the time off work, I'll meet you somewhere.

Griff,

If you get to Roseburg on I-5, I am about 70 miles west of there. I could make that trip easily, depending on day of the week and time.

Griff,

When will you be in Oregon, and where will you be?

All of the above.

"Change" and "progress" are not the same thing.

My Great-Great-Grandmother was wounded while driving a wagon, during an Indian fight in Texas. She was pregnant with my Great-Grandfather, and my Great-Great-Grandfather was busy shooting back. The story was in a True West magazine from the 80's my Grandfather had me read.

I don't remember any lever guns, but I really enjoy the movie "The Mummy" for all the cool guns Brendan Frasier's character keeps in his gun roll.

Merry Christmas to all from the West Coast.

My Mom bought a Taurus .38 Special after my Dad passed away. My Brother and I were with her, she looked at every thing and chose her own pistol. My Brother was so impressed with the Taurus he bought one too. The point is, Mom picked out what she wanted, and she has been extremely happy with her choi...
