Okay river's really rising in the backyard and this stuff is comin down in sheets.
Hey whoevers in charge....please give it a rest . Breakin out the cordless drill and stihl to finish that Ark. So far got a white lab and black lab plus a 5x5 Bull elk and lead cow for crew. I'll remember to slap them skeeters. Probably be able to limit on them prime for the smoker gnarly chums off the front porch in the mornin before work. I ain't buyin that "rain happens" crap....I'm really beggin ya whoevers in charge please share this stuff with those who really need it?

Gooose

The handful of true droughts I've been thru seem to end in a long term deluge. You know the high water tricks.

Hey Goose, new meaning for 'a river runs through it'? If you need help with sandbags you know where to come. Give me a sign.

RT's got a couple EMU's he'll give ya for your ark.. :p

Saw my first "wild emu" the other day down by Vader. If you really want to know where, I'll let you know. Unfortunately it is in a large open field without much cover for sneakin' or "gettin' to know" the emu a little better. Maybe you could use the cows for cover? I wouldn't know about that firsthand, just something I read about once in Penthouse's farm love edition.

Andy

Get Randy to not take off the coconut bra when he does the rain dance.

FJ...out.

Heard about them Emu's ....are they good to eat?
I've gonna have plenty of elk...though that lead cow is gonna be tough...good sausage and burger.

FJ if ya know someones doing a rain dance....grrr!
Coconut bra? This guy wouldn't be from Oregon would he? You hear rumors of strange goins on down there...pink high heels and such.

Gooose

Gooose, I'll hook you up with some doors. I would suggest some hollow metal frames with say some solid stave core wood doors. Institutional type hardware optional. Wouldn't want any freaky interbreeding going on

I would like to render my carpenter services with Heidi from Tool Time as my mate.

FJ...out.

Send it down here. Local river has gone completely dry. Wiped out the fishery. Local resivoirs are nearly dry and while they are walleye and bass ponds they are the only game in town. We will take left overs too.

And Gooose, make sure you smack BOTH of them skeeters.

Someone told me that those EMu were good eatin', but the feathers get stuck in your teeth.

Too bad RT's not home to reply to any of these posts. I got a question one of you guys might be able to answer though. I've always wondered how you say 'emu' properly. Is it e-moo or e-mew? What's the correct sound on the 'u'? Thanks.

Krome it depends on which animal your referring to? If it black and white fourlegged wiith horns then its possibly e-moo. I believe e-mew usually describes small furry four legged critters that come in too numerous to decribe color variations. Just my 2 cents worth. Now if its the big nasty 2 legged dinosuar looking thing that I almost flattened in the middle of the Duckabush Road last summer then emu is properly pronounced as "H@ly Sh!@t! What the H@ll on Earth is that? This pronounciation is usually followed by thoughts regarding edibility and if 1 1/2 ounce load of bird shot will just make it angry?

Thanks for the offers of help guys but the Arks on hold....bound up the Stihl about 1 in the morning and decided to bag it for the night. Morning found the waters in the driveway down and that big cedar log and saw gone. Anyone spots a big cedar log floating down Hood Canal with a 041 stuck in it give me a holler!

Gooose

Hey Goose, good thing the waters went down. I envy you though living near a river. Hope to meet up with you some day.

Gosh, you really lost a chainsaw? That sucks. BTW, I'm talking about the 2-legged bird-like creature. Didn't know there was 4-legged emus? Maybe you're f*cking with me.?

KB :p ! Really don't miss that old saw...it's that cedar I want back. If I didn't need it for the Ark I was gonna make a lifetime supply of wood **** floats out of it. BTW I did almost flatten one of those Emu's. FJ could you send Heidi over anyway to help on the design of Ark III? TJ you'll likely run into me one of these days....I don't do diapers though.

TM I'd ask for more info on RT's Emu's but some part of me really really doesn't want to know....
there's some strange stuff that goes on down there.

Lastly DesertDog I'm hopin you guys get 90% of the next big one. I'll need the time to work on the Ark III plans with my new engineer Heidi.

Gooose

I spose I'm gonna get hell for that typo for months to come. I'm assuming that's what your talking about.

Gooose you are full of it as usual The river today was a much nicer color, green, not brown. I guess that means your ark building is not a priority? Especially if I told you that there were some metalheads being caught? Whose silly idea was it to build an Ark in the first place? No-No rain stop, dammit!!! Who was it that said to watch out for the boneless brown trout? We know we're in trouble then! Let's all just go fishin' and the H with the rest of it!

Fish4Steel when you have an engineerieng assistant like Heidi....well my priorities are working with wood regardless of rain. Heard about them boneless Brown Trout.... don't they show up everytime we get mass rain and the sewage treatment plants just let it flow into the sound?
Waitin to hear Team TP post on the board?
Fish On tomorrow although its gonna cost me gear....headin to the worlds snaggiest gear eatin zipperlip stream as I've gotten some interestin e-mail.


Gooose

Did someone mention emus? I know a little about emus. I know that the 4 legged variety are exclusive to NW Washington. A closer look would reveal the hind legs likely to have leather boots and floppy jeans. Look thru your binos for a baseball cap popping up occasionally.

How's this for a co-incidence ... (seriously) while we were at the beach this week the TV news had a story on emus. Apparently they have lost their value due to a poor market. They used to cost a lot. Know you can get emu meat close to the price of turkey. They said it's rich and redish colored and better than ostrich meat. Now they are selling emu oil; calling it a cure all. Ya right.

RT

Ah ha! RT, you spelled a word wrong! I think?



I believe you meant to say, "Now you can get emu meat close to the price of turkey." Right? Ah dangit, too late, the contest's already over...

RT Just what I was afraid of! Emu oil as a cure all? You feeding them things sardines and Pro Glo
red coloring agent? Is this the next horizon in egg cures?

Gooose

RT- Likes EMU'S How about a TIMBER in your ark...A little Timber is a must!!!!!could not be replaced!!!

Reel TimberMan my Ark definitely needs Timber! Wouldn't be without it. Need someone to sort the "culls"out. Plus we're gonna need a new saw as that poor old Stihl 041 is still floatin around out there buried in that cedar. Hey don't really want the saw back guys as we've had a love/hate relationship for 18 years....but do want that wood back! Question is RT's Emu's gonna taste like sardines and what abouy all that MSG?

Gooose

I haven't eaten any emu - per say. I'm just the messenger, reporting about the apparent great taste of emu breasts and legs. It's not my fault if you guys don't know any better than to leave the feathers on when munching on one.

BTW, you did notice after TM read about emus on Gooose's Ark that he then said it also needs a little Timber. The emus might get a little 'Timber' alright.

In all seriousness Gooose, which women do you plan on taking into your ark when the OP floods completely over - inquiring minds must know. DON'T tell them TM may be on board.

You're just setting yourself up there, buddy. No comments here. I'm restraining myself.

BTW, IMO, you should change your moniker back to just RT. Easier for newcomers to recognize you from STS and faster to type, too. I know you're drooling about the BMW's was it? But you know you can't afford one of those until after your book's out now don't you?

RT welcome back. I was just concerned about you experimenting . I ain't touching the stuff KB brought up...well maybe. As for women my list is short:

Heidi: Assistant Engineer

Angelica Bridges: Once married to a redhead...they're something else

Denise Richards: Miss Popularity

Mrs. Gooose: I'm still lookin

No need to warn them about TM as he can invite his own lady guests...and I sure ain't gonna get in a bull elk fight with that guy! Course Mrs. TM will be watchin over him.

Gooose :p

Hey Goose, been kicking any knot holes latley? :p

Fishhead5

Thanks for the reminder FishHead5....add Jane to the list.

Gooose

Goose, why would you kick a knothole anyway???

Fishhead5

Oh Sh@!t you got me dude! I'd be checkin for squirrels. But I ain't allowin but two of them "Norwegian Cougars" on board and TM is in charge of controlling their behaviour. So if I got to kick knot holes everytime I'll have to have a discussion with him
about maintaining proper behaviour amongst the passengers. Not looking forward to that discussion ! Realize this thing ain't gonna have many if any knot wholes as it's gonna be all old growth. That'll probally get me more sh@!t huh? Can't we pick on KB's D**k float thread? Okay have at me dudes....I know when I'm dead meat! Help!

Gooose

You must be Canadian, eh? :p

Hey seriously though, Canadians are cool.

Oh, I don't think anybody's goin' back to my d*ck thread again. Ah, crap, I just seen it a ways above this thread. I'm going there to read the smack talkin' right now! This aint gonna be pretty.

Gooose if Heidi is your Engineer that would make me the caboose!

FJ...out.

KB hey if you'd just quit usin the word d#ck maybe they'll go away....oops sorry guy ! I promise not to use the word d#ck ever again....Dang it just won't go away.

FJ if you want on board you need to provide vittles...Whitetail(corn fed) sounds excellent. I got elk and squirrel(also known as Norwegian Cougar). Don't know what TM is bringing....and I'm not sure about them Emu's? Have a hunch if RT sends them their gonna taste like sardines, vanilla powder, and the meats going to be flourescent red. Have to wonder what that ProGlo color is going to do to....oops...I ain't going there!

FishOn eh!
Gooose

FJ, you're going to be the caboose? I'm sure as all get out not going to take the bait on that one

I'm talking Heidi's caboose here. Gooose is trying to steal her away from one of my previous posts.
Hands off pal

Gooose, I got the bacon!

FJ...out.

FJ can't blame I guy for trying . New question for everyone? I'm trying to decide between sled, drift boat or cataraft design. Any ideas?

Gooose
