Yes I am pretty sure if you grasp the slightly curved edge of the retainer and just pull it. It should have a u shaped cut out. Similar retainers on some automotive crank case filter breathers inside air filters and some brake hardware use the same type of retention. Since it looks like it is under tension with that rectangular piece it might be that you have to push it in and twist the cylinder if it doesn't have a cut out.

I purchased a small pen/pencil that uses an aluminum alloy for the lead and was intrigued. Forever pencils might be something to look at. The lines don't bleed or smudge with water colors and I can shade unlike using ink. I purchased a full sized forever pencil and with a needle file created a chisel tip to give the versatility of a wide calligraphy nib. I initially started with an Olight branded one, small and fits in my EDC pocket or mini watercolor pouch. I haven't tried the colored pencil versions that are available.

The "Super Beet Soft Chews have allowed me to stop prescription meds. Spinach will also help. There is anecdotal evidence that elevated nitrate levels in drinking water lowered blood pressure.

This summer I was out playing with the dog in a nearby creek. The dog's hackles came up as she was looking behind me, and she was definitely on alert. As I turned around a six-foot-tall guy (not Paul) was coming down the trail dressed in a fox furry costume.  He waved at my dog and I and scampered down the trail. I learned later that a group of Furies meet every year in a nearby campground I was at a loss of words then and just laugh about it now.

In Oregon, acreage for a full time RV will probably be a problem. Limits on how long one can stay on their property in a RV are in place in most counties if not all.

In many cases it is far too easy to blame the gun when what really needs to be taken by the horns is mental health. A sane person wouldn't automatically go for a gun a sociopath does. It is so hard to identify one that is on a mental precipice. A car, an explosive, a knife all instruments used in recent memory, mental health needs to be addressed and how does a society monitor its populace for that?
