  1. That’s where I am at the moment,I fit right in.
  2. Plenty of public land but tag systems etc mean your limited to what and where you can hunt in some places (blocks)you could want to hunt a particular species in a particular area for years and never get drawn,jacklighting deer is common here.
  3. Enjoyed the estuary ratting Harry,I used to really enjoy similar as a kid.
  4. Saw a coyote this morning behind the unit,spooked it and it ran into a truck haulage yard,it’s been eating cats.

    6 Nations.

    I would rather garrotte myself than listen to a pundit “expert” dissect a footie match after the event “The guys played a good game” (ummmm,no they didn’t,they lost) “The better team on the day won” (that normally happens) and “If they had done this….that……the other,they might have had a chance” (hindsight is a bitch).
  9. Slight deviation,but talking of boats and men toys,my mates got a lot of toys,a Lamborghini,jet-skis,Harley’s,the works.Most of the brits here have toys they never had back home,I visited a store today it stocked all sorts of shiny things.
  10. Love beans and rice.Working right next to a McDonalds so burger for lunch.
  11. Nice nippy little boats if your on the coast,I did my RYA powerboat course in something similar,good fun in the summer.
  12. Saw this in the street yesterday,bungalow with a termite problem.
  13. They are wide and empty,most people don’t walk down them,you could go for miles on a dirt bike,I saw a film crew last week filming a kid dropping down the sides on a skateboard,but there’s always someone filming something in LA.
  14. Last time I went back home was for a good friends funeral,lost his job in his early 50’s,couldn’t get another,a few months later he parked on a bridge and jumped off,landed on the road below.He left his phone and wallet in the house with a note saying he had ID in his pocket and not to worry.
  15. I watched both of those in the past,different lifestyle,I was always interested in the Claude Dallas story also.
  16. Mexican lunch in San Diego right on the border.

    WTF?

    I thought the decriminalising was part of a two year trial in a small area of Vancouver?
  18. Not doing the west coast in its entirety,staying in SoCal for a few months,that’s the short term plan.
  19. Indoor gardening,floriculture ?
  20. It’s not difficult to be honest,I met a bloke from Manchester the other day who came out here to do something and just never went back to the UK,I know brits living in the Hollywood hills making real fortunes,there’s lots of different angles in this game where you can make a very good living even without contacts by just landing at LAX cold,there’s a few brits arrived just like that and were making 10k a week within a month,I was asked to come but were I arriving here with a long term plan I would head to Eureka in Humboldt,it’s the heart of the industry,I only need to stay here a couple of mo
  21. @mC HULL had them both…… Champagne and truffle butter with the sourdough,and Alaskan king crab cakes for starters.
  22. Sadly,my mate told me he ran when he saw a tarantula,and he is petrified of rattlers,I am the opposite,he also saw a mountain lion when hiking a trail near here,that scared him as well but he thinks nothing of surfing on beaches known to have great white sharks in the water.
