A lot has happened, for sure. I spent most of August running from forest fires in the Pacific NW. Most of the places I ride my mountain bike and go camping have burned. Then, the long drive from the Columbia River Gorge to Oceanside, CA to see my friend Mike. Then over to the Colorado River for a month of record triple digit heat. The winter desert wind is starting to blow, so I&#8217;m trying to get as much kayak fishing in as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I noticed there was a small problem with the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ronbarbish.com\/RonsJunk\/RonsJunk.html\">Rons Junk<\/a><\/strong> web page so that was fixed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t spend much time here because most of my time is spend at the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/watermanatwork.com\/blog\/\">watermanatwork,com blog<\/a><\/strong>.
