My Oregon non-resident fishing license with two pole endorsement and evasive species tag went up to $167.
This keeps up and I'll be forced to stand on the bank in Idaho and cast to Oregon.

you could claim to be a sovereign citizen and that you're just scrummaging for food. Oregon wont hassle you for that. at least in Portland.

Decided the end of March would be the perfect time to buy snow pants…

All any stores had were 46-52” waste sizes… two of me could fit into one leg of those pants. I finally found ONE store that had something that would fit me. $269 Wasn’t looking to spend that much, but oh well…

They make you get an endorsement for having more than one fishing pole?

Yes they do and in Oregon and Idaho, we can only have two with the endorsement.

Problem solved I think?

I spent a lot of hours on printing and painting a set of 3D printed body panels for my Optic. I destroyed all but 3 of the panels within 30 minutes of rock crawling this afternoon. The roof was my favorite part so I was happy that it was still whole.

Went home, changed some panels out, came back and crawled for a few hours only to destroy the roof at the very end of the day.

I guess printed panels aren’t for me

I printed in PLA + but I’m guessing either the filament I used wasn’t great, or the lacquer paint I used broke down the plastics. Oh well!

I saw your vid with the dark sides and the gold top, was wondering why you switched. Now I know.

I hate when you go into a store (auto parts store for example) and speak to the person at the desk and they don't look away from their computer screen. Don't make eye contact or smile. Do people in customer service not get training on how to treat customers?

nope, no training. and to top it off people under the age of like 35 don't know how to handle social interaction. you'd be better off standing in front of them and texting them.

Parts store ppl are either hit or miss with me.
Theres nothing I enjoy more than an 18 year old kid who is POSITIVE that the computer is RIGHT!
Some ppl are cool, some very condescending as if their lofty new position of parts fetcher has installed 20 years of wrenching experience in them somehow.

I've done xray exams on patients who spent the entire time on their phone

Ever though about shaping aluminum or lexan?

Hopefully they don't get a phoney reading.

This may possibly be the most ridiculous commie rule for fishing that I've ever heard of. It's also silly expensive. It's $49yr here (I have lifetime sportsmans license thanks to my Dad) and they couldn't care less how many rods you're fishing with.

I couldn't agree more, we also can't use live bait and only up to 5 hooks on a single line.
Stupid ridiculous rules but that's the way it is.
The only difference between Idaho and Oregon is I can use my RC for fishing in
Idaho but not Oregon. I fish on the same body of water on each side.
Just another way to get our money I guess.

Sounds like more wormholes into more hobbies I can’t afford! …interested!
