I totally agree. Man-up or G.T.F.Away...it's the friggin Attic.

Waaah...hehehe....brilliant response.

ONE drink, and I started at page one of 17........soooo...????
And I, unlike you apparently, read carefully, thoughtfully and actually respond to what is written, not some perceived tangent .

You can certainly be rest assured that I will never "report" to the admin on anyone who is posting ANYTHING, most especially if it is an "Attic" thread.
Why would I bother to ?
To what end ?
Why would I want my "chuckle-makers" to depart ?

Paranoid much ?.....lol

Not at all lonely, have a MARVELOUS life presently, and just who the f##k made you the "bedtime monitor" of some 70yo that you have never, and never will-- thank goodness, met...... huh ?

Like I said...lots of chuckles from y'all.

Keep 'em coming, I need hilarity breaks every once in awhile...thanks for your contribution.
(Just try real hard to make them relevant and discernable....some definite shortcomings on those fronts being read here...punctuation and correct spelling always helps)

Hehehe...could you possibly send me a list of whomever you think may "worship" me ? Have not noticed or been aware of that part of the populace. If I had, I might have unwisely used that to my advantage at some point in time.

BTW....any "worship" of anything or anybody or any "entity", is in my opinion, certainly indicative of admittance of an insecurity. I seek no approval, forgiveness nor absolution from anybody. It's called maturity.

My "half-dozen divorces"....??? WTF ? You obviously are not referring to me. I have had 2, but that last one of 10 years, ended back in '07, convinced me to never walk THAT path ever again...hehehe.
I am keeping this house and ALL my possessions solely for me, these days.
I was naive and trusting TWICE for a total of 26 years...that was plenty enough for all time, thank you very much.

Yes...Mirrors DO work...you betcha.
Having an exceptionally LONG DAY of "meet-ups", are you ?

Well...it IS 17 pages thus far.

........had to wade through all the diaper talk and lots of posts that were basically the contents of such.

Just one brew, half of the blunt. Overindulgence isn't my style.

Confident of my place in this world, "self righteous" I leave to those who question theirs.

Uuuh...my eyes and ears work just fine, thank you. I took note when it happened.....fact.
I take it that you took a 4-year hiatus from watching news videos FROM EVERY NETWORK there is on this planet....wow.

Used to read "the Attic" while attending to my morning ablutions....damn good thing I didn’t with this thread, or my butt cheeks would have been totally numb.
So instead, I chose to read the ENTIRE THREAD, all 16 pages in one sitting on a comfortable leather couch, sipping a cold Oregon microbrew and puffing on a cigar, then a blunt, and finally numerous cigs (it obviously took awhile to wade through all the superfluous jabs and denigrations handed out)....thankfully they helped my mind endure this long diatribe.

I still contend that I get more chuckles out of reading the inane and irrelevant "quips and daggers" thrown about in the Attic, than any YouTube comedian's video.
I am particularly enamored with Placerville's admitting that he "paid in cash" and "never knowingly hired an illegal"....but "hey...the statute of limitations has run out"....hehehe...that is about as rich as it gets, trumper-thumper. Oh dude.....why would you write that ? Just effing hilarious.
I don't know whether to applaud the audacity or simply think....how effing sad that this guy is okay with his scofflaw actions. And 40 years "as a walnut farmer"....but held another full-time job for 35 simultaneously ? Lol...this Kansas-bred guy knows that that's "a guy with a real job and a hobby farm".

And of course Oz and Fredfish just had to chime in....the posse might just need more warm bodies for support to suppress actual dialogue.....who knows ?
And of course, Still above water started strong, but faded on rationale when things got close to jeopardizing his moniker.....you were definitely treading water at the end, dude....kinda like our PM discourse that saw you fade drastically when you simply couldn't refute anything I was saying.

(FYI, fellow stagers...That conversation was S.a.water wanting me to "meet him in Portland (300 miles from me...yeah..riiiiight)" to "fight it out, tough guy"....hehehe....eventually admitted that he was butt hurt over being referred to as "Bay boy" during a thread about OREGON FISHING REGULATIONS...jeeesh, talk about treading in unknown waters, while being insecure in your own manhood.....lol.)

All in all....kind of a waste of time, kind of an insight into some stagers' mindsets, further affirmation from "the faithful attic posse" of their desire to keep those posting #s up and of course....lots of chuckles to enhance my Friday evening...Thanks y'all !!

And to those who apparently are so enamored with my activity on the stage as to be aware at all (did you want to share something that attracts you to me in particular ?)....why the hell WOULD I start a thread ? You folks provide waaaay more topics than any sane person needs to read and when/if I do, it certainly won't be political or d******e...it will be about a new boat, or maybe that 20lb+ steelhead I have hunted for, for 40 years...TO HOOK AND COOK.

He probably just got tired of your pitiful comments and decided that time spent trying to make you throw up the Kool-aid you have drunk is a total waste of time....as do I.
Bye for now....

👍👍

Welcome Dell.... from a fellow Oregonian in Prospect (Cascade Gorge) on the Rogue River. I have not spent much time in my 40 years in Oregon on your part of the coast....I gotta get over there and explore that part of the extraordinary Oregon coast.
I'm sure Jarhead (a Californian...but we tolerate him coming to Oregon...lol) will be sending his comments, as his Mom lived around Lakeside until recently. We'll be looking forward to the helpful hints and reports you may have to share.

BTW....loved that you used the word "harvest".....the main reason I fish or crab.
Although the "sport part" is fun, as well.....about half the time I am reeling in a fish, my mind is thinking...this is gonna be tasty on my grill !

I wouldn't even stand downwind of a campfire using pressure treated lumber, much less eat something even briefly exposed to the gases created by burnig copper sulfate.

Hey now....can't have Scotch or Maker's Mark "on the rocks" without ice, or a "shaken, not stirred" now can you ?....no, you cannot.
So imho, RJS, gotta make that THREE uses...chilling alcohol, which of course IS "drinks", though I am certain that you probably meant tea or lemonade, or in Texas...coffee.
(Four, if you count filling an ice chest with beer !)

My family had a "White Mountain" crank-type ice cream freezer. A TWO-GALLON one !
Talk about some cranking to be done !
I was probably 12 or 13 before I could actually "finish off" cranking that huge batch. Mom's recipe included lots of vanilla extract, Eagle Brand canned milk, and occasionally strawberries or peaches. I was always trying to get her to make "chocolate chip" by using those tiny Tollhouse chips...only happened a few times....usually just straight, down-to-earth vanilla, add your own toppings....oh so fine by me. Did once get her to make a batch of "chocolate chip mint"....wasn't green-colored like I had anticipated, and she used waaaay too much mint flavoring.
I ate it anyways, but was okay with her not making any further tries on that flavoring...lol.

Oh...the memories you stir up, RJ....thanks !

As a retired carpenter/woodworker, I can assure you that NO WOOD, regardless of treatment, is truly "ground-contact-worthy". "Pressure-treated wood" (green, orange, dark brown...matters not) is only "rot-resistant" to a depth of MAYBE(?) 1/2"....on SIDE GRAIN, NOT ENDS...ever. And any end cut renders "pressure treated lumber" void on any protection whatsoever. Take a look at the penetration depth (grain stain) on that end cut...kinda scanty.
The only way wood can possibly withstand direct ground contact is by TOTAL sealing of the end grain.The sealing can be done with a variety of products, from EXTERIOR GRADE latex or oil paint, some type of plastic or rubber sealant (again...exterior grade), or best, but crude and likely marginally effective....tar paper or non-porous rubber matting. Best to have, concrete brick/block to simply PREVENT GROUND MOISTURE FROM EVER HAVING LONG-TERM direct contact.

Wood is a bundle of tiny, very long "straws", it's how the tree moves moisture and nutrients to its structure.
"Close" those "straws ends" and moisture migration ("wicking") is mitigated severely.....but remember...never 100% using any method.

As an aside....my Father used to keep a "soaking stack", made of a closed end 4' long piece of 8" plastic pipe. Every 4x6, 4x4, 2x4, 2x2, that was cut and to be used outdoors, was subjected to some soak time in the 4' tube (even if it was to eventually be painted)....filled with Pentachlorathane, the highly effective rot-resistance wood treatment of yesteryear....and declared a " highly carcinogenic product" and taken off the market in the early '70s by government mandate. My Father's extremely foolish response (chastised by both me and my older brother, the PhD biochemist/ M.D.) was to go buy ALL of the remaining stock of "penta" that the lumberyard and hardware store in his small town had.
Scoffed at the "danger" my brother and I (and the government scientists !) warned him of....and continued his practice. He had previously shown the same disregard and actions in the '60s, regarding DDT....saying "But Son...it works so very well".
Sad epilogue......Dad died of CANCER in 1999. Most likely from such disregard of so many product warnings from a variety of practices, including cutting asbestos board with a skilsaw...no mask....jeeesh.

Be safe out there folks, pay attention to safety warnings, please.
