FWIW, the Portland, Oregon, IRLP node, 3039 has a fairly broad regional coverage, radiating from the 600-ft level on the KOIN tower. It's owner, Michael Bloom, is at least an acquaintance if not a friend and pays the rent for that out of his own pocket. If I look out my home-office window I can ...

I guess I wasn't clear. Rather than go to Amazon, I went straight to the Gunsight page to leave a little more $ in Cooper's (family's) pocket. I was spoiled by Amazon-Prime and was taken aback by the S&H charge. And 'Priority Shipping' but eight days on, I'm still waiting.

WRT the other stickers on the back of the Jeep, the only one I can ID is 'Dutch Bros' which is a coffee chain.

Saw this tire cover at a stop light ahead of me earlier. Thought it might be worth sharing...

Maybe I've become a bit spoiled by Amazon Prime but I ordered up two of Jeff Cooper's books, $75 total. S&H came up to $26. Yes, it's a big, hardcover book and the second I don't know but still, that seems a bit excessive. I went ahead with the transaction, happy to put the $ directly into Jeff's ...

G-docs work well with multiple people banging on them at the same time, so ping a friend and both jump on and see if it works for you in a 'shared' mode. Benton here ...

Thanks, Bruce and LuckyJohn --

I could live with a 2 mpg hit; even 5 would be better than towing that trailer. The 10 mpg hit hurt -- made fuel planning a thing, just to get to my sister and BILs place in eastern OR, on a run out I-84.

I wanted to ask the folks toting the pop-up pick-up campers what they do to highway gas mileage? I've pulled one of the rPods with my Tacoma and found it about halved my mileage, 20+ down to 10-ish. A neighbor pulls a pop-up tent trailer with his full-size Chevy and reports it also about halves his ...

At the closing bell of tonight's show, I asked if anyone had experience with 'wine auctions.' 'Auction' is really the wrong word for the process that I remember. I remember getting intrigued by the concept but figured the last thing I needed, when I'm supposed to be focused on my work, was my phone ...
