The warm weather is not to my liking, losing snow and afraid of exposed wolf sets. Did see a little marten sign out there, so hope to have a couple swinging this weekend.

I got #1100 smile

Anybody ever had a lynx bury a rabbit with your trap attached? First for me.

Had a rude awakening last night. Whole house was swaying with a 7.5 rumbler. Seemed to last a long time for a quake. It's pretty weird in total darkness, too!

didn't feel it here... Maybe cause I sleep like a rock.

I was below the waterline in a large boat for one (back in 99 or 2000). Very wierd sounding.

I slept through the quake only to be woken up by family calling to see if I was ok. Haha. At the time, I was thinking who in the heck is calling me at this time of night.

Our daughter tells us due to the narrow channel and islands around you in Juneau have nothing to fear from one is this true or is she being fed bad info?

I would tend to agree. The "backside" of Douglas Island may be vulnerable, though. While I don't really understand large wave dynamics, I think that for the most part, Juneau is pretty well protected from tsunami damage, it's conceivable that the narrow channels could focus the tide and wave for dramatic results. This is exactly what happens here when the big Northerlies blow. The water gets seriously ugly, and wave period, (the distance between crests) can be very short, indeed.

The Good Friday quake produced about a four foot wave in Juneau. That is the largest wave I know of hitting here. I would never say we are 100% safe from being struck by one, just very unlikely.

Wave dynamics are more affected by water depth. The wave starts to grow in height and then break when the water depth is one half the wave frequency or period.

Stephens Passage and Lynn Canal are aligned nearly perfectly north to south. This fact along with 20 plus feet of tide movement opposing the wind can make for short intervals with tall waves even before they roll through shallower water.

i had just walked in to my room and noticed one of my cymbals for my drum set was shaking. and i was thinking "i must have gained some weight seeing as how the cymbals never shake when i run up there stairs". then the whole house started shaking.

Well, I'm about as ticked as I can be, mailed a box of marten 15 days ago and the flipping mail plane didn't come for a wk due to severe clear weather confused got it out of the post office and had the wife hand carry to Anc to mail it on her way to the states, weeeel, I just got it back here today mad

Called Abbey Greens place and they said if I can get it there by the 14th I'm good, sooooo, just had the kid go get the box back out of the PO and boggey to McG and mail it and hope for the best.

Since the marten crash thread is gone, I'll bring this up here. Last time out pulling my last chance marten area I picked up another marten with ( for lack of a better term ) mange. I have caught a few of these the last few years. I don't remember ever catching any marten that looked like this before at least 2007. Maybe this is common elsewhere, if new to your area maybe something is going on.

That thread is still available on one of the other pages. But, how about a picture of your mutant ?

I had one last year, i posted it here with some pics. Can't find it now.
It looked like mange, had only the short under growth left, no gaurd hair.
Only one like it so far. Was an adult female.

With my temporary MiFi internut, pictures no can do! However, remember last year after Nafa's first auction how everybody was posting their magnificence averages. Well I posted pictures of a couple of these beauties claiming I averaged $50 and all my marten looked like these as a Joke. Would have been right about March 1.
