Drano

I had a great day at Drano, WA. We had some luck with the steelhead. Released about 30 more.

It was a quick trip, and I was beat, but it was worth it.

Do we really know?

Has anybody heard of the Ethanol SCAM?

1. How many gallons of water do you think it takes to make one gallon of ethanol? [1700 gallons of water to make a gallon of ethanol]
2. How many acres of corn were grown to make ethanol? [80 million acres]
3. How much of vile sewage comes from making one gallon of ethanol? [12 gallons of sewage]

I am not a rocket scientist like Todd, but these don't add up..

These 3 questions should make our blood boil on how people pull the wool over our eyes. And keep in mind that gas, diesel, fertilizers, insecticides and herbicides are also used to make this one gallon of ethanol. Another thing is, ethanol eats rubber. Our cars have rubber in seals and gaskets. So are they going to go bad sooner? Major oil company's are getting HUGE tax rebates for using ethanol. Where are we saving? One more thing, I asked some farmers how many ears of corn are on one stock of field corn? They said 1 sometimes 2. Doesn't that seem like a waste? I think there are other options? I heard of one car that runs on a tank of air and can go 300 miles but not allowed in the US. ?

Metal bookends for my sister Karla

I wanted to make some bookends for my sister Karla. They have a bookshelf that holds a lot of nature type items. Like quail, old Jim Beam bottles with nature scenes. They live at the base of a Juniper covered hill. They have a beautiful horse ranch there. The deer roam all over that hill and yard. I decided that deer bookends would be a great addition to their shelf. Here is what I came up with using just odds and ends of scrap metal.

It's a white tail trophy buck. Suppose to look like it is on a ridge. I roughed edged the metal base. They can choose to paint it, or leave as is.


I really enjoy working with metal. Jan can't believe that it relaxes me. Here you can see the rough edges better. I hope she likes it. [ironman]

Levi Young is the winner

Levi Young guessed 17 lbs. 11 ounces. He was only 1 ounce off. Total weight was 17 lbs. 10 ounces. Huge was the hint. Congrats. You even beat some rocket scientists in the guessing game. Email me and I will ship off the smoked salmon as soon as I hear from you. If I don't ever hear from you, then I will give it to the 2nd place winner.

Thanks everyone for playing and welcoming me to the blog world.

New Blog Giveaway, Edweird Style

My daughter Mattie, has wanted me to have a blog for months now. What is a blog I ask? So this is my early birthday present from her. She set me up a blog. And even posted my first post.

Last night, the fish were hot. Here is the huge salmon that was caught fresh out of the Columbia River.

I fillet it, and then vaccum packed it.. My giveaway is for 1 package of vaccum packed salmon. Should feed around 4 people very comfortably. Make a comment, and guess the total weight of these 6 sealed fillets. Include ounces if you desire. Whoever is the closest to the weight, wins.

Local commenter's get a choice of it being delivered fresh or smoked. Non local commenter's will be sent vaccum packed smoked.

This giveaway ends on Wednesday the 16th, at 5:00 pm. Good luck and I am doing a blog and I have no idea.

The best car filters ever

This is the best thing I have bought in a long time. It is a washable car filter, that can be put right back in the car, after being washed. No sprays, no dry time. It was around $50 dollars, and I never have to buy another one. It has been so worth the change to washable filters.
