    A handy little item you probably know about already

    My wife is a quilter. She's got about a half a gazillion spools of thread, whereas I have a gazillion spools of thread, wire, tinsel, etc. like you do. She looked at my tying table and thread storage and exhaled through her nose. Next thing I know, I've got a present of what are called...

    Your Single Fly

    One fly’s are a blast. My club does one, mi-late april, 9am-noon, then hotdogs, chit-chat and the award, most fish wins. All on the honor system. Chironomids win usually, my damsels or leeches have not produced numbers at that time of year. Or they’ve broken off. Or some other fu$&kuppery has...

    SFR DEET

    Jungle juice to max strength Off!, I've used 'em all. I never understood low concentration products. Mostly, since working up north, bugs simply don't bother me much down around these parts....

    Personal Pontoon/Raft on Car Top?

    I strap down my South Fork with NRS cam straps to either 1) Thule rack on top of my van, or 2) fastening rings on the edge of my tonneau cover of my pickup, or 3) the stock racks on my wife’s CRV. Deflate to about 1.5 psi, snug down. Any place I go I’m over a mountain pass. I check the straps...

    A trip to the dentist

    Well, I went to the dentist today to get a cavity filled. Rather, an old mercury amalgam filling removed and a new filling installed. And as I was snarking up the ol' nitrous, I started to think about fly tying as the dentist turned on the yellow light and started placing something. Turns out...

    Float Tube Flippers

    I still use the caddis, and oar if I need to go faster on my SouthFork. I've an old pair of neoprene flats booties I wear with them to protect my waders from gravel while I'm walking around before launching and after I get out, I used to wear an old pair of sandals, I'll do anything to not wear...

    Starlink User Opinions

    My gen 2 dishy has a heater for snow and ice. I've had no weather related outages that I recall in several years. As to competition, I hope so, very much. But as yet Space Mobile is for "operator partners". Not for me. And Bezos rocket just blew up on the pad. Starlink desperately needs...

    Starlink User Opinions

    I have no ground-based internet, signed up for starlink on the waiting list. I’m on the standard plan, paid $600 for the hardware and now $100+ per month. We stream tv and audio, I ran my business on it, its a big part of our lives and family connections. Speed right now 103 Mbps down, 14 up...

    AIS inspection sites between Seattle and Butte

    There’s a westbound station hwy 12 just before the climb up to McDonald Pass outa Helena. The stops for me are a nice break. The fees in ID and MT sorta suck, but, whatever.

    Longview Pulp Plant

    When I worked around there in the olden days, Weyco owned it, and I recall it was the largest mill of its kind in the world. Very complex, a remarkable feat of engineering at every turn.
