    What Are You Eating?

    I see. Guess that makes you the chef normally in charge of your kitchen then. And those pancakes do look good. Just kinda' naked with no huckleberries.

    What Are You Eating?

    What, but not with huckleberries or blueberries? Since she's your wife I would expect her cooking game to be top tier.

    The first Bottle Cap Derby

    When aluminum pop & beer cans first became a thing, the first generation pull tabs made pretty good small spoon of the Dick Nite variety.

    Pet behavior

    You feed your cat 3 times a day, plus snacks? I like cats and dogs, at least I always thought I did, but no cat or dog of mine has ever been allowed to "own" the clock. It's not time to get up until I get up, and it's feeding time when I get around to feeding them. Once a day. They always...

    2026 Gardening Growing Thread

    Strawberries. Is growing decent sized strawberries some kind of gardener's secret? Last year is the only season out a dozen or so that I had good numbers of normal sized strawberries. Once again, this year mine are mostly dinky little ones, the kind you NEVER see at the Spooner's Farm Stand...

    Furthest Travel to Fish

    Doesn't sound familiar, but I'd have to go look it up. Russian words don't linger in my memory too well.

    Nooksack closing for chinook salmon

    Assuming the closure of spring Chinook fishing is a legitimate conservation concern, by OS 2.0 standards the river remains open to fishing for other species, particularly game fish species.

    Loss of Dexterity Sucks!

    I stopped tying small sizes quite a few years ago. I notice that the list of exceptions that I'll buy instead of tie has been increasing. Since it rained all day yesterday, it seemed like a good time to work on refilling the sparse spaces in my fly boxes. I started with some size 12 Prince...

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    That's a current reason why college should be looked at as more than a "jobs training program." The most important thing I learned in college didn't come from any specific class. It was more of a process that taught me to "learn how to learn." A college degree wasn't an end point, but rather...

    1st World Old Man Problem - Tendonitis

    Brain fade, so early in the day no less. Ibuprofen. And not for long term use.

    1st World Old Man Problem - Tendonitis

    I should have included that this is for short term treatment, like 10 days to 2 weeks, and not for a long term.

    Craig MT

    I didn't visit Craig because of the restaurant or bars. The river had my attention. And the fly shops since I was in the neighborhood.

    High Lakes

    For hiking, I've taken to using a plastic fluorescent light tube holder as my rod tube. Very light and pretty good protection.

    What Are You Eating?

    Well come on over while you're here visiting! I'll even break out some wine that comes in bottles. And you can show me how to cook up something interesting.

    NFR AI - How It Will Affect Jobs In The Next 5 years

    I thought the result of women's lib was that boys could then take Home Ec and girls could take shop. At least that was the switch in my small school district. After I graduated of course, but my younger sister experienced it.

    1st World Old Man Problem - Tendonitis

    I've had elbow tendonitis for decades. Dealing with it again right now. First, ditch the Tylenol. Tylenol treats pain but not inflammation. When treating, I take 800 mg of ibuprofen (twice the usual recommended dose) and dunk my elbow in an ice water bath for 10 minutes. About one tray of...

    NFR Queens are out and about

    That can be OK. Two years ago was my first time setting the trap out early in the spring. I caught a bunch of queens. But last year and this year, only a handful. The result is that we've had far, far fewer yellowjackets around in August and September. If there were more queens in your...

    Looks like that's where he put the baited tuna can.
