    NFR Alcohol going out of style

    I cut way back on drinking 40+ years ago in my 20’s. Reason why? I walked into the bar i hung out in after working late, my “friends” had already been drinking. Talk about obnoxious people, oh, wait, surely I don’t act that way? After that i cut way back, stopped hanging out, there’s better...

    Oarlock height extension.

    Most information says a minimum 8” above the seat, maximum 11.5”. Not just from this article but others including boat building forums. https://angusrowboats.com/blogs/news/fixed-seat-rowing-geometry

    Feathers: More than just for tying

    Intriguing article, thank you for sharing. I’ve often seen those feathers but never gave them much thought. Beautiful wing photos, but sad to imagine the thousands of birds it took not just for each of their collections, but the multitude world wide.

    Western Washington Draft Proposal - Cooling Our Streams

    Looking at Drift Boats

    I’m lucky if she will go 8 miles. She doesn’t fish, so she would make the perfect rower.

    Looking at Drift Boats

    I really wanted to buy a drift boat for local rivers. But my wife refused to learn to row even though I pointed out what a good upper body workout it is.

    Fly reels & 3D printers

    Cost of materials excluding buying the printer? I notice at printables it’s in the public domain and available for commercial use? Not that I need to start a business, curious.

    I will probably be banned for the following, but this thread had nothing to do with fishing, environment etc. And now our government is in bed with the tech companies, pushing AI, facial recognition etc. and trying to ban states from implementing constraints on AI.
