Wow stunning! I'm just recovering from a leg injury but I can hear the trails calling my name.I don't hike as much as I used to, due to my arthritic knees. Miss getting out in the woods.
Abiqua Creek Falls used to be a hidden gem.

How much of a problem are barbed wire fences 1000 feet up?You guys have no idea how much fun this is. Think about it, your only flying 30 miles an hour at about 500 to 1000 feet just before hunting
season spotting the herds, scoping out where the animals are that you will be hunting. Never mind all the stuff no one ever gets to see from the air. It real hard to get hurt in one of these, you just got to watch out
for the barbed wire fences.
No thanks, I prefer actual wings and propeller, and bush wheels! I can cruise as slow as 20 MPH in FULL control, land in places helicopters shake their heads at, and still cruise at 125 MPH across country, while burning 5.5 gallons per hour, yea, I stick with the Bush Plane thank you!

Yeah, I do most of my own automotive work still. I don't know if you'd call it a hobby now, but it used to be. My dad got me hooked on it, it was his business and hobby. He was one of those lucky men who was able to combine business with pleasure.Mix of hobby and something that I gotta take care of.
Looks like I'm removing the front and rear bearings of my 12.7 detroit to replace the thrust washers. I'm happier doing this sort of thing than I am driving the truck. Upside is its $83 for thrust washers and $50 for oil pan gasket. Downside is I wanted an excuse to do an overhaul.
do you still collect cars?Yeah, I do most of my own automotive work still. I don't know if you'd call it a hobby now, but it used to be. My dad got me hooked on it, it was his business and hobby. He was one of those lucky men who was able to combine business with pleasure.
The metal chunks in the picture remind me of a little anecdote that I hadn't thought about for years. We had many vehicles at our disposal to drive when I was a young driver. One such was a 1947 Ford 1/2 ton panel truck. One day I started out driving it to high school. About half way there, I noticed there was a "chunk-chunk-chunk" sound that had developed in the (manual floor shift) transmission. It might've involved the input shaft and the counter shaft, as it was constant. When my dad got home that evening, I described it to him, he took it for a drive, and when he came back, he said something like, "Haven't I told you not to hot rod these old things?" Which I justifiably denied, as the defect occurred spontaneously at an innocent 30 mph.
Anyway, the next weekend, he took up the metal transmission floor cover, and pulled the top cover with the gearshift lever off, looked around inside, and found that a sheet metal screw had gotten lodged in the gear teeth somehow. How a sheet metal screw got in there is a question that was never answered. Once removed, the transmission seemed to suffer no ill effects. I was relieved to be exonerated.

Not really. My wife has a car, and I have three cars:do you still collect cars?
Those early Fords are "Staff Cars." My father was a Naval Officer and use to ride on those.Not really. My wife has a car, and I have three cars:
1972 Ford Ranch Wagon, ex-USAF
2004 Ford Crown Victoria, bought new
2006 Mercury Grand Marquis, bought second hand in 2017.
I don't really like newer cars.
At one time, I'd have 20 or more cars on hand but those days are long over. Think about it, 20 cars times 4 wheels, that's 80 tires to take care of. 20 batteries. 20 cooling systems. On and on.
My 72 Ford wagon is my hauler, just today I hauled some building materials over to my daughter's house for a project.
