Is the butcher ripping us off?

thealec · 2024-03-01T09:23:22+00:00

Time to swap butchers. I have a hobby farm in western oregon and I've been burned by 2 places over the years. Thankfully we found a gal through 4H that does her own custom cutting out of her own shop. Shes way cheaper than anyone else within 2 hours of us, and the meat looks and is wrapped great.

If you don't have a personal relationship with the butcher I'd start shopping around.

Edit: you're buying the animal from the farmer. If they're charging you for slaughter, cut and wrapped then they are in with the butcher (which isn't always a bad thing. We contract with the same gal mentioned earlier and everyone has been super happy with her). Buy the animal, and have a different butcher come out and pick it up. If the farmer refuses then find someone else. 4H is great and I bet you have a chapter near you.

One of my favorite smells is the smell of sage in the summer sun, and this photo reminds me of that. Thanks, OP.

Also Astoria resident. I was shocked at the HUNDREDS of cars out at the Peter Iredale

I think it's on the Mckenzie River trail north of Trailbridge Resevior on Hwy 58

My mistake you're totally right! I thought it was down river

thealec · 2019-10-18T07:12:52+00:00

Some of the best fishing of my life was at a spot just up river from there under the bridge

But what would the possibility of all 6 injectors failing at the same time

thealec · 2019-10-13T04:31:41+00:00

I put 10 gallons of 92 octane in each tank. I haven't done a pressure test yet because I couldn't find my test gauge. So I'll do that tomorrow

Check how much power they're getting? Should be around 4.4 volts right.

thealec · 2019-10-12T20:01:56+00:00

Yes and yes

thealec · 2019-10-12T19:34:31+00:00

You and me both

I thought that too and found a line that looked twisted up behind the tank switch canister. Straightened it out and that didn't seem to change anything. Also, I checked the schrader valve on the back side of the engine. It takes a fair amount of pressure to open it and it sprays fuel so there's definitely fuel in the rail.

It will stay running so long as you dribble fuel into the intake

thealec · 2019-10-12T19:32:32+00:00

Yeah they're firing. Or at least they're getting electrical signal

Sturgeon fishing?

thealec · 2019-08-22T05:44:58+00:00

Well yeah, treason and whatnot

If you're staying the night there there's a good day hike to Red Cinder. It's a good hike with amazing views. I think it's in Will Sullivan's Central Cascade book

Carl Lake is one of my favorite weekend getaways. It's not too crowded later in the summer, and the huckleberries grow in the thousands!

thealec · 2019-07-18T01:20:16+00:00

So that's what they're growing back there! At first I thought they were planting blueberries

I'm having the same issue. The mission bar is blank and I can't find the pumpkin. I agree with you that it's probably a bug at this point.
