    SFR Pups and the Colorado River

    Hope this is not alarmist, I think it is pretty rare at this point, but if you have pups and they frequent the Colorado River in California, and maybe upstream: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/03/240314122143.htm

    NFR Anyone leasing solar?

    We are considering a property with solar, buyer must assume the solar lease as a condition of the sale of the property. I am looking at it as just a monthly utility bill, and from the records I have, it comes out as a bit of a wash with current NC utility bills; however, looks to be a...

    NFR USTs, Your thoughts

    As some may know, we are searching the northeast for a property - thought we found one but lo and behold, there is a UST. For those of you in the northeast and maybe some in Oregon (it is apparently an issue there as well) USTs are underground storage tanks (the northeast is lousy with them)...

    NFR Question next

    It seems I spend much of my weekend pushing my Cobalt electric mower around my half acre of scrub lawn. Now that it looks like we will be getting an acreage in NY state, I will be getting a tractor mower. I am partial to John Deere, it's what I ran on the farm in Kansas - dependable as hell...

    NFR Well water

    How many of you folks are on well water? Any of you have experience with positive coliform tests - how often do you test, do you use home tests or a certified tester? If positive, do you just shock your well? Is it a recurring problem? Reason I ask is we have put an offer on a property in...

    SFR $465 million - What would you do?

    ... Buy a ranch, either in Montana or Wyoming. It would have to have river frontage, several ponds, etc. I would open it to all PNWFF members (gratis) - would need to figure out a reservation system. Ideal would be near skiing. This might fit the bill, but I would need to build a ranch...

    SFR Crooked River/Prineville Reservoir

    I noted this morning that the Crooked (Oregon) is running at 351 cfs. This is above the normal summer irrigation flows of around 200 to 220 cfs; I can only assume this means the Corp believes that there's enough snow in them thar hills to fill the reservoir and then some (currently at 51%)...

    ... of the flea sort. As many may know, we have pups, we've always had pups, usually 2 to 3, and never, and I mean NEVER, had a flea problem, until now. Had them with cats, but not dogs. We treat our pups with Advantix, usually only once or twice a season (last time was about a month ago)...
