  1. No shit. I went to the game in Ames last year. Never been treated worse by an opposing fan base, including Sooners. I used to be pretty much indifferent to ISU. Even rooted for them when they weren't playing Texas. After last year their fans call all die in combine accidents and grain silo explosions. Fuck you Iowa. Get fed to pigs.
  2. This is a crew that my wife worked with in Fairbanks over the summer fighting the fires in Oregon. Hope the vid embeds. IMG_6873.MOV
  3. My four years on the 40 acres
  4. Cross post from dog thread Magnum gifted a leg from that 60 incher upthread
  5. Lots of fresh moose meat available to me right now. This is a steak cut off the hindquarter. Kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper over charcoal…simple is best.
  6. If you like winter, I've got winter for you...come on up
  7. Can’t skip one of the last hits of Vitamin D before the dark comes
  8. I've heard about that cargo spill. They interviewed some lady that's collected more than 20 of them.
  9. I'd wear that in burnt orange 2XL Tall
  10. I'll try to stop by the tailgate. Is it at the place that is pinned on the football board, over by the LBJ Library? Rain check on the beer.
  11. Another friend bagged a nice one. 60 1/4” wide. Trophy class.
  12. The plow truck has had a lot of deferred maintenance on it the last several years. When the steering column got destroyed I said fuck it and had it towed to town (Fairbanks) to our mechanic. He's doing a lot of front end work on it that I've been putting off. All 3 sets of U joints need replaced, ball joints, front axle seals, shit like that. He's putting in the starter motor and upgrading to a high output alternator to help the batteries out when running the plow. I went and pulled a steering column out of a junker Ford in Wasilla last Saturday. My wife delivered it to the mechanic yesterday. Everything should be done by the end of this week or sometime next week, hopefully before the 29th when I leave for Texas for the quarterly Mom check in. Going to the West Virginia game on Oct 1. Haven't been to a football game in several years. I hope I don't spontaneously combust with the heat.
  13. The freedom that we enjoy up here makes it worth it. None of natural shit really bothers me all that much. The asshole people are what fuck it up, but there are assholes everywhere.
  14. Moose hunting is a great time until you pull the trigger. Went to moose camp a few times when I first got up here. Now I’m lazy and road hunt. The wife likes to go, it’s good productive time for the two of us. I’ve never heard of an area where it is illegal to debone, but the fucking hunting regs are such that I just know the regs for the game management units I hunt, 20A and 20C. Everyone around here bones the loins, backstraps, ribs, and neck. They leave the bones in the hindquarters, cut off at the butcher’s joint. Makes hanging and aging easier. Hang the front legs the same way. BTW the hindquarters on that moose weighed about 200 pounds a piece. Four miles is a long haul with that much weight on your back. And the regs are you have to pack all the meat out before you can pack the head/antlers out.
  15. Doesn’t really matter what you wear. Moose hunting is cold and wet. They hunt the non-motorized areas as well. That’s where you hunt if antlers are a priority for you. He was 4 miles from moose camp. They have to cut that thing up and haul it by hand 4 miles. He said he was so soaked thru with sweat and blood and rain he had to squeeze the liquid out of his base layers just to hang them up to dry by the fire at camp.
  16. Buddy of mine got a nice bull this morning. 59 1/2 inches wide. Just a little under trophy class.
  17. We’ll find out. They left the claw hammer they used on the steering column. I waited over 3 1/2 for a trooper to show up. Law enforcement is sparse in my area. He took pictures, statements and bagged the hammer to send it to Fairbanks. Lots of theft, especially mail theft in the 3 months these chucklefucks have been around. They are squatting on a power line in a wall tent. Of course the do gooders have been feeding them and praying for them which has only extended their stay. Rumors of a couple of run ins with Anchorage moose hunters, like guns drawn type run ins. But who fucking knows? Anchorage hunters are fucking assholes on the trail too. Of course there are children. Why wouldn’t there be? My buddy took a ride to check them out and he said they don’t have a stove pipe, so no stove. They can’t winter over without a stove. They are predicting a colder than usual winter, so more 30 to 40 belows less 20 to 30 belows. I’m assuming they’ll leave when it starts getting cold, another month.
  18. The plow truck was still sitting at the gravel pit where I moved everything when the fire got so close, about 3 miles away from the cabin. The starter motor took a shit on me and I've been waiting almost 2 months for the correct replacement part to come in. The first starter they shipped was incorrect. The shitty thing is I went to Fairbanks to pick up the starter on Saturday and drove by the truck at the pit. Everything was ok. Went to the pit on Sunday morning to install the starter and first thing I noticed when I pulled in was the back window being broken. So it happened Saturday night sometime. They destroyed the steering column trying to get it started, which it wasn't going to do because it had no starter motor. When they couldn't get it started they stole the batteries out of it. I guess I'm lucky they didn't decide to just destroy the whole fucking thing. They wanted the plow. The plow is worth 2 or 3 times what the truck is. Fucking meth head thieves. I have an idea who did it. I'll be watching them.
  19. I think I found one. A friend of a friend has a cousin who has a junker F150 down in Wasilla. Correct year with a floor shift transmission. It should work. Gonna head down there this weekend and pull it. If it doesn't work, I'll update this thread Thanks to all those willing to help a brotha out Hook 'Em
  20. Fucking thieves tried to steal my plow truck. Broke the back window out and beat the ignition switch out of the steering column trying to hot wire the thing. There is not one available in Alaska, so I'm looking for help in finding one. Website advice or junkyard scroungers are appreciated. I will pay for your time and shipping and beers. Snow will be here soon, so I need one ASAP. "I just wish I could have caught them doing it. It would have been worth them doing it if I could have caught them doing it." -Vincent Vega
  21. I am truly fucking amazed that a Democrat won that seat. I hope this is a harbinger of things to come and that the stink of Trumpism goes away sooner rather than latter.
  22. Galena is a tough place to live. Kudos to them for making it into their third year.
