    Monthly Tying Contest?

    I enjoy my comfort zones. 😌 At my age I've accumulated a plethora of discomfort zones.

    End of the season blues

    As you're no doubt well aware that those 'Type 2 fun' activities are increasingly important as one ages due to accelerating sarcopenia (age related wasting away of muscle mass) and maintaining cardio pulmonary fitness. At my age of 75 I wouldn't be able to engage in any of my favored warm...

    End of the season blues

    It's rough on people whose main recreational interest involves fishing, but exciting for those of us with many upcoming outdoor activity opportunities. Sometimes my fun gets in the way of my other fun.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    I'd snap that bike up in a second. A 3" wide tire isn't all that big (a lot of mtb's routinely run 2.4 to 2.6) and it will display none of the peculiarities associated with true fatbike tire width (4.0 - 4.6). Those tires plus full suspension will give you a very plush ride on all sorts of...

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    Generally the last place I wanted to be was inside, around my alcoholic parents. As a boomer kid in the 1950's early 1960's there were shitloads of kids to play with in the neighborhood.

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    A major part of Emotional Intelligence includes controlling one's immediate impulses....including displays of temper. We've all known people whose lives are a mess because every perceived offense triggers instant anger because they're ruled by the old lizard brain. That being said, everybody...

    Etiquette/Manners Question.

    Shoulda taken possession of the ball and motored off. I have display shelves of various toys and other objects generations of neighbor children launched into my yard.

    Family ties

    I worked with a fella for many years without knowing his wife and I share the same great-grandparents. Sometimes it's a small world. Of course since we're Appalachian hill folk maybe such things ain't that unusual. I'll have to ask my uncle-dad about that....

    FS classic Fenwick fiberglass FF85 2 pc

    That was my first truly decent flyrod...and I still occasionally use it. Nowadays it's too slow, having ruined myself on graphite, and I suspect the heartbreaking possibility of damaging this personal holy object precludes heavier use.

    Scotty has a clamp-on mount that works well with their flyrod holders...I've used them on my canoe. They're extremely stout...

    Maiden Voyage

    One of the many advantages of a sit-on-top kayak is being able to take a leak whilst sitting comfortably .... the scuppers provide a quick route to the lake, followed by a rinse with lake water. No fuss, no muss. I suppose those logistically challenged by length or cold weather could employ the...
