Or like lawn cops??? When your grass gets to tall you get a ticket

I have salmon smoking today.I use 1lb dark brown sugar,1 lb salt and 1 oz pickeling spices. Dry rub put in fridge or cooler overnight and smoke with fine spruce sawdust. My family has used the same recipe for 100 years. Some question the use of spruce but its our favorite,less heat then hard woods.

What is all that stacked one on top of the other in the 2nd last picture ??

OMG alaska viking that is an electricians worst nightmare. That is as far from the electrical code as one could get.

The second one is a stack of junction boxes. One can only shiver at what might be lurking in there!

A few more interesting code "modifications"...

viking all I see there are the results of some expert engineers using a little ingenuity

Too funny AV!

Hey what happened to TrapperRay and Brenda ? Haven't seen them on for a while.

You are just waiting for someone to ask, aren't you.....?!!!

I'd have to PM the answer or ban myself for a week.

Hey Canvasback, see below. We decided to immortalize you by naming an Alaska fire after you...

Canvasback Lake

Lat: 66:24:18
146:25:30
18N 6E 11 F
Start Date: July 12, 2010
Acres: 300
Cause: Lightning
Out Date:
Status: Uncontained
Owner: Fish and Wildlife Service
Admin: Yukon Flats Refuge
Area: Upper Yukon Zone
Suppression Option: MODIFIED
Personnel: 8

At 0915 the fire was reported to UYT Dispatch by FWS personnel conducting surveys in the area.
The report was a 100 acre fire burning in tundra near Canvasback Lake.
At 1108 zone IA Helicopter N36PF responded to the fire and personnel determined proper
coordinates and relayed size-up information. The fire was approximately 200 acres in size, creeping
in tundra along the north and east perimeters and backing to the west and south also in tundra. Flame
lengths were 2-3 feet and winds were out of the west at 10-15 mph. A FWS cabin site was located
and assessed as well as an allotment south of the fire. N36PF conducted one fuel cycle of bucket
drops to the southern perimeter of the fire.
At 1522 eight smokejumpers were delivered to the fire and reported the fire to be over 300 acres in
size. The fire was smoldering and backing a little bit along the southern perimeter. There were two
small collumns of smoke along the northern perimeter where the fire was burning through some
black spruce stringers. The jumpers and 2 helitack personnel from FYU began allotment and cabin
site protection measures. The current objectives are to keep the southern perimeter of the fire from
spreading towards the FWS cabin and allotment.

I am so Honored !! Make sure to save that cabin !! I may need it !!!

Try not to let any Burls burn up !!

Heck, CB, we started that fire as a preventative measure so you WOULDN'T come up, ... We've already reached our quota on New Yorkers...LOL

Now, now, Most of Alaska consists of transplanted Lower 48 folks !! The vast majority of whome came from the North East USA !!



Don't worry about me taking all of your VAST trapping territory ! I just need enough land to set 12 traps and I only trap for 2 weeks a year !!

Yes we have!! Arrogant PITAs that they are

Before anyone gets too riled, I'd like to point out that it was intended as a joke (except to Hup, lol)... the opinions expressed by one idiotic alaskan do not represent the views of Tman, other alaskans, or anyone in general..

Hupurest just wants 10 pounds of NY grown Salt Potatos.

No Alaskan Birch Burl wood stemmed wine glasses for you !
