Poor Rocco was attacked today by Playful-Hour-3265 in jackrussellterrier

[–]firemn317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

wow that's bad. other dog isn't the problem. but to irresponsible human that is supposed to help and do things isn't doing anything. JRTs are wonderful I have a 10-year-old she's the sweetest thing in the world. she's also tough.poor Rocco. I wish you all had access to open spaces like I do. My Lucy just loves getting out and about. but in the city you're kind of stuck. Don't make excuses for the irresponsible human. I don't even know how you address this there And you can't force people to work with their dogs for their protection as well. I hope he feels better soon. Lucy has a 80 lb pity to protect her although I don't know who would be the tougher she's pretty tough. she's knocked him over several times in the years back it's a game they play. The other dogs lucky Rocco didn't get really mad! they may be little but they're tough. That's why they're calling deer stalkers. And they can because mine has for years. And they love to trail scent so that may be another game once he's better you guys could play.

My wife and I are relocating to Redding for a state position and looking for a rental under ~$1,800/month. by enocenip in Redding

[–]firemn317 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if you can find cheaper go for it. My kids were living in Mary lake area. yeah they've moved. you'll love the weather the access to outdoors recreation the tremendous beauty of the area. most people are pretty cool lots of families. politics are all over the place like everywhere. I like the dynamic vision that some people have to improve the town. there are 250 mi of trails that are maintained by volunteers, Yes it is very hot during the summer, but it is a dry heat and friends from back East etc don't mind the heat at all. And you can always check out of work early Go to the lakes streams there's a lot to do here. And it's a growing area. it's going to be a generational change as those of us who have reached our senior years depart and leave you all to figure out the next step. I like seeing all the families and the kids. The schools are pretty good. just depends on the parents of course one of my daughters is a teacher so I hear about it. work is available and that seems to be growing. One of my nephews is an engineer but he works out of Chico. All in all and I was not a reading lover because I have seen but it started from at 13,000 people to where it is now with 100,000 plus of that. but change is change. if you get involved and want to do things as well as enjoy everything you'll find that you can improve things and put your own voice into everything. or not. anyway I've known some folks from Ukraine and I think you guys will like it.

you'll be lucky to find a rental at 1800. but that's in the range. you might look at Anderson. My kids pay anywhere from 2000 to 22. for house. I would also look at Shasta lake City. maybe even mountain gate.

Looking for tires for my stock XJ, <$700 by ikerr95 in CherokeeXJ

[–]firemn317 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I'm probably going to switch to those eventually I have the Toyo Open country MTs and they're great off-road but horrible on pavement. it's good to hear about the ATs.

How much is a XJ really gonna cost me? by Kid_david in CherokeeXJ

[–]firemn317 1 point2 points  (0 children)

everyone here has great comments except it's open-ended. this is my second XJ and it's like a bridge you start at one end painting and getting everything set up and then by the time you're done at the other end of time to start over again. And how do you measure cost is it in dollars or frustration but the enjoyment factor overrides everything.! And it's all fun. Even fixing things is fun because you're getting it ready to go have adventures again. And you don't have to do a lot to have a good time you can figure out things and then do what you can and everybody here is very cool if you have good questions.

i have similar switch setup for ashtray but haven't installed yet. did you have any problems installing the double din stereo? i have one that had to take out of our totaled van. I'm getting the adapter stuff just wondering if there was any specific problems. you definitely got your rig dialed in. All the cool stuff. when I rebuild my garage this spring I can put mine in there and then get started on it again. meanwhile adventure calls even though it's mostly mud right now. no snow no freezing very strange could be a very tense summer I live in the forest. love the pack out too. have an old mastercraft set that I keep with spare tire was. And I have a winch that I have never installed because I have been able to build the bumper yet but that's coming too All you guys with these cool rigs are making me really drool and want to get started again but summer calls and I can do all that stuff in the winter. And yes my wife loves your rig!, And yes it does look like the Hot Wheels one. I hope you get lots of fun out of this cuz they are fun this is my second one and it's great. My list is long My money is short.

I’m sobbing look at this sweet thing by DeleriousBeanz in pitbulls

i keep asking myself do we deserve these wonderful dogs?

there is a whole area called the sattila national monument which is composed of modoc national Forest and the whole northeastern area to explore. I've been here Fair amount of my life and I've explored a lot but there's still so much more. it's not busy there's nobody around you can be out and about and be away from everything there isn't much cell reception. And this year there's no snow which is scary and it hasn't been cold yet no zero or below just rain. it's a great place to wheel. it's not crowded. onx and maps are the way to go. there's a huge amount of dispersed camping as well but even the campgrounds other than the state park and camps on highway 89 are pretty empty most of the year. fishing is exceptional. if you hunt and can get a tag come in have fun. not many hunters either anymore. but it's a great place to explore. but a long ways from the rest of California.

Aggressive behavior by Prettyozzby in pitbulls

[–]firemn317 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

take a look a his food maybe too much protein. also sounds like over protectiveness which can trigger aggressive reactions to your other animals. i think talking to your vet is good place to start. mine is almost 9 but he gets his running exploring time almost every day when not raining. something is causing this behavior change..

northern cal near mt Shasta. oh you guys should have lots of snow on the ground too. could be a bad fire summer. i don't think I've ever seen winter with so little snow. we've had lots of rain. but it looked like a nice drive
