BBQ for ten, then eight on Lake Union. (Four of this crew are Children’s surgeons.)

Well I like it. I am curious how he cut it down 6” if he left all 4 pieces equal length. I don’t build rods, so maybe this is easier math than I figure. Only thing I can imagine is that he took all 6 inches off the butt, which is probably fine. So you’re “bucktailing” tuna, & sometimes casting...

BBQ here with friends & family, then on Lake Union for the fireworks.

Thanks. One of life’s lessons: spend quality time with those you love, while you can.

I watched the 1st third before I had to stop, and will finish today or tomorrow. It reminds me of a failed desire to organize a salmon (charter) trip with my father and older brother. I thought about it but then my brother got sick and never recovered. And my dad shortly after became pretty...

I read that book maybe a year ago. An amazing story about a fearless woman. Well worth the read!

With my kids, we often have 3 dogs here. The pup is a Silken Wind Hound, and he’s a cagey thief. Always aware of any food on the counter and who’s watching. I call him the Muffin Man, and yes, for that score. It was gone in a flash.

Yes, after all we are professionals!

I used to be an avid diver and was very familiar with the local dive shops including Underwater Sports here in Seattle. When gearing up for float tube fishing, I stopped into US and lo and behold they had a pair of Force Fins. The salesman, assuming I was intending to dive with them, said they...

THAT is a funny story. He’s thinking “Otis, you got some ‘splainin to do.” And then you were gone. I’d bet my head he still remembers too.

My story is very similar to u2ng although I didn’t smoke straights often. Close to 30 years back I decided that I’d had my fun with “look goods” and that if I was ever going to quit, now was the time. Fortunately, I’ve never wanted one again.

My guy is a terrific truffle hunter. He only marks their position to come back later for the dig. Walking with Rio is not an aerobic exercise. He finds truffles every 100 feet.

Evan, just wanted to thank you for putting this new feature together. I truly enjoy seeing the flies our members are putting out there. Inspirational enough that I just might have to clean up my FT table and tie up some shrimps. It’s a drastic move though, being the repository of overwhelming...

We’ve had Labs in the past, and the tennis ball had a life expectancy of a few hours. Squeaky toys being similar. Now our Toller is 8, a smaller dog (similar to a Border Collie) with what you’d think to be a more delicate mouth. That is deceiving. That tennis ball is crushed in minutes. Squeaky...
