I’m trying to make a point so they don’t do it again next year or any other year. For me to spend $9 is no big deal. Every time I drive my pickup to Arnold and back I probably spend that much in gasoline. I already had a perfect size box so packing them was easy too. I was also loading my ATV in my trailer so I just took a ride on the ATV and grabbed most of the books without even getting off it. Whatever works I guess.
Hey Neighbors, in case you hadn’t heard, Tommy’s back yard is open and their first concert is tonight!
Plan B, a local favorite will be playing Rock, Blues, and Oldies.
Starts around 6:30.I’ve done that hike a LOT beginning when I was 13 (I’m now 72). Deer hunting and fishing mostly. Years ago the fishing was wonderful, and the brook trout were delicious. I don’t think there are any more fish in the lake because it has silted in and freezes all the way to the bottom. There may be fish in the stream below the dam.
Scott Wheeler (no relation!)While I am in total agreement that the Yellow pages distribution to the BTV community was nothing short of a moronic move, I took a bit of a different approach. I am sure sending the books back to Kuan makes a point and I certainly commend the level of effort. For my part, I simply collected a number of the books while out walking the dog (note…there were 3 books at a driveway to a vacant lot) and dumped them in with my recycled paper…done deal. This situation is certainly an annoyance but I can not justify my time and expense to mail them back. I will save my efforts for issues that have significant implications…just my opinion and in no way is meant to be derogatory to other approaches.
I had to take it to the post office, have Paula weigh it and send it media mail. If it was a letter or package that would fit in the out box, than maybe so. I have received letters before (not very often) with “postage due” but never anything but a letter or small package that weighs more than the postage put on it. The box I sent the phone books in was HUGE. Should fit nicely on Dave Kaun’s desk.
To late now, but I think if you had not put all the postage on the package, they would have to pay the additional postage.
I sent the 16 pounds of Valley Yellow Pages yesterday (Thursday) back to Fresno. Actually they weighed 15 pounds according to the post office scale. Sent them “parcel post” (media mail) for $9.25. Maybe I should send them a bill!
Good news!!!!! I hooked up my old network extender, had to wait about 20-30 minutes for all the lights to turn blue, then successfully used my cell phone! I was getting impatient and almost gave up, but it finally worked. The power and WAN light turn blue right away, of course. The GPS light started solid red, then blinking red, then finally blue after about 5-10 minutes. The SYS light started solid red, then blinking red/blue. It stayed in this state for about 20 minutes before finally turning solid blue!
It’s my understanding that it can be used on all dogs however I have seen operator injury result it was attached to my neighbor’s Great Dane.
Thanks. Do you know who to contact to change my address? I called someone once and they said it was taken care of. OK, great but I don’t think it is. I also told the county our address is up here now and they said it was taken care of too. But there seems to be a communication gap between the county and whoever send out the bills! No problem with my property tax bill though!
There is a new high tech gadget that helps dog owners keep track and control their dogs so that the dogs, the owners and local widllife don’t get hurt. It’s called a “Leash”, prounounced “L-E-A-S-H”. Let me know if you need a demonstration.
Recent article on Gizmodo on coyote safety:

They were very active in the area during the drought of the late 80s to early 90s. A number of times I would encounter cat (and once dog) parts in the open area behind my cabin near the park. With the current drought I expect more will be moving into developed areas in search of food and water, so be sure not to leave either out.Late May, we attempted to hike Woodchuck Basin but lost the trail due to lingering snow. Three weeks later, the snow has melted and the wild flowers are out in bloom. While googling WB info, I came across the wonderful video that was posted by none other than our own Big Trees Tech Joe. This is a grand little hike and I highly recommend it.
