    WDFW Digital license

    Don't worry...the WDFW officer can simply look up your actual license status on his vehicle computer....if they have cell coverage! And, at worst (assuming you have no outstanding bench warrants), you'll probably be able to explain the situation to the judge! 😳 I went with paper this year, and...

    Stink bug in the car yesterday

    Smash 'em! Free car air freshener! No one will even be able to detect the vehicle's previous fart, whiskey, and cigar stench.

    Fitness/Health/Exercise Stuff with Evan

    Between working out on my Concept 2 rower, a recumbent bike trainer, and regularly hiking very hilly 5 mile route, I've found that my fatbike (Salsa Heyday) gives me an intense high aerobic workout when ridden for an hour or two (and makes riding any of my other bikes feel like roadbikes)...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Reminds me of the time my sister-in-law took a squat in a patch of stinging nettles....I damn near shit myself laughing.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Excellent suggestion! A good bike dealer is like a good flyshop...they want to provide useful advice (like fit and function) so they can create an addiction to a fulfilling activity and develop a long-term customer. Many good bike shops have serviceable used trade in bikes as well as bikes...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Polygon makes fine bikes...and so does Salsa (I've got a Salsa Heyday fatbike). Salsa is under the same corporate ownership as Surly. Bikes are like RVs and automobiles when it comes to instant depreciation....especially now with the post covid over-production glut sitting at dealers and in...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    You rode MTBs in the very birthplace of mountainbiking! My worst crash didn't occur on a MTB, but rather on roadbike during a hard lean into a downhill curve with a patch of black ice hidden in the January shadows; woke up, feet still in the toe clips, blood streaming down the side of my face...

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Good on you! I've got a couple of scars on old MTBs that I'd never repaint because every one of them was honorably earned while riding....sort gives them 'street-cred' and brings back good memories, much the way old flyfishing gear does!

    There's a few folks on the GCN network that rightfully regard balance bikes for children as one of the truly great bicycling innovations.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Those 80's Schwinn Mesa Runners MTBs are considered classic vintage rigid 'bombproof' steeds. I've a couple of pristine late 1980's Schwinn Cimarron's with handbuilt fillet brazed/butted frames and XT components....built just before Schwinn shit the bed in 1992.

    The Mountain Bike Thread

    Along with a relatively large fleet of MTBs, road bikes, and recumbents we have a couple of Tern cargo e-bikes, which are mid-drive Bosch. Everyone I know that's had hub drive has had various problems (some due to their attempts to hack the control systems into class 3). Mid-drives of all...

    Pucker up

    No...it just makes people not want to be around grumpy old farts (maybe that's the desired result). The constant bitchin' about cost just makes me glad to not be around a great many of my age cohorts.

    What's Your Favorite Feature of Your Fishing Kayak?

    Now that is the ultimate fishing machine! I suspect the electric drive unit (when deployed) even further contributes to the Hobie's inherent stability by lowering its center of gravity. The use of the modified Hobie scupper cassette to hold the drive is brilliant! It looks like you are able to...

    Annual License fees 2026-2027

    To truly channel OMJ you have to live in a state with minimal licensing fees, incredible fishing opportunities and repeatedly gloat about it on this sort of thread. It might work if you're old enough to gloat about the WA 70+ senior rate though!

    Annual License fees 2026-2027

    Carrying some paper in your wallet just ain't that difficult....unless it's packed full of precious pilfered restaurant sugar/creamer packets, ancient expired coupons and a big wad of cash. I've never lost a wallet kept in a zippered pocket yet, and it's been fully immersed in water more than a...
